• Does Government For The People Exist Any More?

    I wonder what has happened to our government.  Does our government represent you and I, the common taxpayers in our society?

    The past four years at the Federal and Connecticut level have seen an enormous amount of governing by fiat; executive orders on anything and everything that can buy votes and or satisfy a political donor base.  We have seen a continual disregard of law through numerous dictates from the Biden-Harris and King Ned Lamont the Unaccountable administrations including (but not limited to) energy independence, an open and unchecked border, an elimination of student loan debt, runaway inflation, a deadly illegal drug crisis, rampant homelessness due to governmental incompetence, a $35 trillion dollar National Debt crisis, a failed and costly green energy at all costs policy, dilution of personal rights, attempted assassinations of a Presidential candidate, national security blunders, and much, much more. 

    This is not the latest news to anyone.  Bad and incoherent decisions at the national level by a President who is a shell of his former self along with an unprepared, speech stumbling (and possibly impaired) Vice President has placed our country in danger and vulnerable to a loss of personal freedoms and war with communist/totalitarian countries.  We are in great peril at this time in our nation's history at about every level of our government.  

    Again, I still wonder what happened to our government.  Many taxpayers and legal citizens feel a total disconnect with their government and its questionable actions.  They feel they have been lied to by politicians who were elected to represent all people in their district, town and or city.  That is no longer the case but for certain exceptions.  Many politicians today have a clear-cut agenda that if you disagree with it, you are treated like a leper to society. 

    One excellent example of this is the unchecked hatred by many in our government against a free Israel and the freedom of religion for those of the Jewish faith.  Another example was the severe economic destruction forced by Connecticut's government during the Covid-19 debacle.  How many lives and businesses were destroyed by the draconian executive orders issued by The Unaccountable?   To this day no one knows how much profit was made through no bid contracts by the state with companies that were owned by his family's hedge fund Oak HC/FT.  How much was it?  Who else in the political universe cashed in? And why does no elected official whatsoever join my friend and colleague Tony De Angelo who has doggedly and continually pursued these questions since the onset.

    As is the usual par for the Connecticut course, no constructive differences are seen anywhere as compared to the sad and sick National scene. Last week, a labor action at the New Haven Omni became a Connecticut political celebrity show as vain and exploitative Democrat politicians were photographed on the picket line until they were embarrassed and shamed on radio and Twitter. This forced the picket to be dissolved and moved inside, thus having the laborers lose momentum and credibility as they suffered by the the self-gratifying gluttony of the state masters. As Tony pointed out on the September 17 “Lee Elci Show” on 94.9, this conduct violates every ethical premise whatsoever of the role of an elected official in a labor matter which is not to take sides.

    Also, there was a visit ten miles off of the state border by President Trump at a Long Island rally on September 18 that drew interest from over 60,000 people. Yet, no mention of this was made on Channels 8, 3, 30, or 61. Nor was there any disclosure of this significant event from either state political party. Why? Is Donald Trump not the GOP Presidential Candidate? If you are a Democrat, is Donald Trump not an existential threat to you, and now he would be so (so) close to you that you need to call the police you diluted and defunded to protect you from him? But chances are, you never knew about the rally as your political betters felt you did not need to know and they controlled the state run news outlets accordingly. Why? Because you do not matter. They know better. You are a citizen.  And citizen, be damned.

    But wait, this all gets better for you. Taxpayers must also hear the daily unhinged rhetoric of Connecticut’s State Senator Duff and United States Senator Chris Murphy as they continually spew ignominious hatred of President Trump and all who disagree with them.  Senator Murphy is one of the prime hit men for the Democrat Party in his incoherent gibberish he spurts and spouts about President Trump and the Republican party.  One needs to remind the Senator that his party has been in charge over the past four years and owns the problems we have in 2024. 

    Do both Senators not realize that they may have legal voters and taxpayers who support President Trump of whom they have a duty to represent?  And don't these same legal voters and taxpayers have a right to freedom of speech and belief in their support of President Trump?  Or is that not allowed any more especially with two assassination attempts on President Trump's life?  I no longer see the Democrat Party especially with puppets like Murphy and Duff representing legal voters and taxpayers, as the conduct of fine and responsible Democratic leaders of the past like Harry Truman and John F. Kennedy is probably on the way to be excised from the revisionist history books.

    Politicians can never take responsibility for their incoherent and hurtful actions as taxpayers serve our political class especially in Connecticut and other blue states.  Our government is crumbling before us with a constant stream of disjointed and muddled pomposity that we are force fed daily by our elected officials and an obedient state-run media. Your government exists now only for a ruling elite, a similar ruling elite that we broke away from England from in 1776.  The mental beating up of taxpayers is tiring and unjustifiable by its government.  That is the situation we are in 2024.  A government where the citizen is damned while the elected official reigns unchecked and authoritarian in its omnipotent rule.  We have a massive disconnect in our society with our government and its citizens.  The time is now to put an end to this disgrace of democracy.  Because enough is indeed, enough.
