January 9, 2019 First of all, I wish Justice Ginsburg well. She is a courageous advocate for women’s rights and a cultural icon. But in one reads between the lines of published reports on her situation, this woman is probably quite ill. According to Kathleen Arberg, public information officer for the Supreme Court: “Two nodules in the lower lobe of her left lung were discovered incidentally during tests performed at George Washington University Hospital to diagnose and treat rib fractures sustained in a fall on November 7. [2018]” According to the surgeon who operated on the justice, Dr. Valerie Rusch, both nodules removed during surgery were found to be malignant. However, "post-surgery, there was no evidence of any remaining disease. Scans performed before surgery indicated no evidence of disease elsewhere in the body. Currently, no further treatment is planned." Thus, from published reports from reputable sources, we know the following: 1. She had non-metastatic colon cancer removed in … [Read more...]
Predictions for 2019
January 1, 2019 Unlike most columnists who make annual predications and hope you forget them, I will review the predictions I made for 2018 before proceeding: 1. The Republicans will hold the House and pick up Senate seats. Half right 2. The stock market will gain at least another 10%. Wrong 3. The mullahs are going down.

Bring Connecticut Back – Vote for Republican Bob Stefanowski
October 29, 2018 My wife and I moved to Connecticut thirty years ago. The economy was booming and businesses were hiring. We loved living in Fairfield. Our two daughters received excellent educations in the public schools. My friends, my neighbors, my wife and I looked forward to having our children settle in Connecticut as we became grandparents. But it didn’t happen. Our children are gone. To visit our grandchildren, we sit in New York and Boston traffic. We wait at LaGuardia and Kennedy to catch flights to Florida, California and Colorado. How did this happen? How did a state that led the country in GDP (Gross Domestic Product) growth from 1976 until 1991 end up with the third worse business climate in the country? How did we actually lose population in the past several years? Why did General Electric, Aetna and multiple small businesses leave for greener pastures? And why don’t our children want to live here? The answer is that an incompetent political class has used the hard-working Connecticut … [Read more...]
