Connecticut’s spending problem
Spending cuts are rare in “the land of steady [bad] habits.” A blushingly honest Democrat will tell you, “You can’t cut spending in Connecticut without cutting your own political throat – in particular, state union employee votes and the invaluable boots-on-the ground campaign assistance provided by unionized state workers, who unfailingly know which side their bread is buttered on.
An AI replacement
Connecticut’s Democrat dominated General Assembly has passed a bill regulating Artificial Intelligence (AI).
Every morning of their waking lives, socialists arise weeping tears of blood and vowing vengeance on the rich. AI is fertile ground both for the rich and hopeful aspiring entrepreneurs. At this point, very early in the game, all AI regulations and all costs associated with them rest on shaky predictions -- because there is no such thing as a “perfect” undeveloped technology. In a sane Connecticut economy, perhaps after neo-progressives are sent packing, every regulation would be accompanied by a cost estimate. Like tariffs, the bete noir of anti-capitalist socialists, regulations are taxes on products and services, usually passed on for payment to inattentive tax payers.
When Martin Looney, one of two crucially important legislative gatekeepers in Connecticut’s hegemonic General Assembly, announced early in May 2026 that he would not be running for office again, Attorney General William Tong did not announce that his position might easily be filled by an “AI Companion,” thus saving the state some money in reduced expenditures. Looney has strongly suggested that Majority Leader of the State Senate Bob Duff, who some have called Looney 2.0, might be a propitious replacement.
Connecticut’s War on Wealth
The nation’s neo-progressive war on wealth has been in process for years. The political barbs, initially directed at millionaires have been repurposed, likely because outspoken anti-Trump Democrats such as Vermont’s U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders, a pre-Mamdani socialist fixture, reached the million-mark several years ago. Democrat contumely is now directed at Republican billionaires. Both Governor Ned Lamont and U.S. Senator Dick Blumenthal, multi-millionaires, have so far fallen short. Sanders is not there yet, and time is running out on the 84-year-old socialist warrior, who honeymooned in Russia before former President Ronald Reagan -- with assists from imprisoned Soviet dissident Alexander Solzhenitsyn and Pope John Paul II -- turned the Soviet paradise into a realist rubble.
In February 2025, People magazine provided a list of the nation’s oldest U.S. Senators:
Connecticut’s youthful voters may or may not be distressed to discover Blumenthal among those listed. Sanders, a millionaire like Blumenthal, gave some indication awhile back that he might retire after reading – one can only hope – Hilaire Belloc ‘s poem “Advice to the rich.”

The Pretense of Representation
There are throughout the United States three forms of governance: federal, state and municipal, each very different from the other because the constituencies are different. Municipal politicians, state officials and federal officials represent different jurisdictions. The three governments sometimes clash. During the Civil War state and federal jurisdictions clashed bloodily. There were upwards of 500,000 northern and southern casualties at Gettysburg alone, a handful more than the American casualties in Iran. When President Abe Lincoln said at the dedication of the Soldiers’ National Cemetery, “The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here,” he was half right. We will not forget his words or their deeds. Remembrance for Americans is a revolutionary act, a declaration of immutable truth.
During the whole of his abbreviated administration, Lincoln thought of himself as the constitutionally rightful representative of the whole nation. The confederate states that had seceded from the union obviously disagreed.
U.S. Senator Dick Blumenthal, famous for courting Connecticut’s tepid media, is also famous for draping himself in a flag of universal representation. In fact, he is a slick anti-Trump, anti-Republican, neo-progressive partisan. The shooty-shoot to the U.S. Senate in Connecticut drives ambitious Democrat politicians from the brashly partisan Attorney General’s office to the U.S. Congress. Both Attorney General Joe Lieberman and Blumenthal slid effortlessly from the AG’s office to the U.S. Congress. If possible, Blumenthal the elder would deed his present position as congressional senator and sub-president to his son Matt, as yet a somewhat lowly state House of Representatives member. But, of course, the ambitious Attorney General William Tong may have his mind set on the same track.
The clash, if ambition causes the two to bump heads, should prove entertaining.
The 80-year-old redundantly wealthy Dick Blumenthal, draped for purposes of re-election in neo-progressive beggar’s rags, is approaching Belloc’s terminus. An occasional neo-progressive, Dick still knows little about the internal combustion engine, but he may recall Belloc’s final advice – “Remember, soon you will die,” one hopes after one has made a conscience clearing confession of faults.

So, my friend, what ought the Honorable Senator Blumenthal confess to and to whom?
You yourself offer that, as Lincoln, he 'thinks of himself as the constitutionally rightful representative of the whole' State.
I would argue that the larger volume of CT voters are in accordance and subsequently claim the mantle of virtue - so much so, that they are in no need of confession, repentance, or penance.
