According to published reports, Patriots’ quarterback Tom Brady is considering moving to Greenwich. If Governor Ned Lamont really wants to see his popularity sky rocket, he should propose legislation to prevent such an outrage. But before such legislation is proposed, education is crucial. The good people of Connecticut must understand that if Tom Brady is your neighbor, he will insist that a swat team be called if your dog does its business on his front lawn. But the real problem will arise when Brady joins Ned at the Greenwich Country Club. The magnanimous Brady will bribe his way to admittance by donating durable steel pins. As the golf rules have recently changed, there is no longer any requirement to remove the pin when putting. Brady will argue that using these pins will enable the club to save money, as the pins will not have to be replaced as often when the ball hits them. Then the club will have its annual Member-Guest tournament and be honored when Brady’s guest, Bill Belichick, graces … [Read more...]
Regional Cap-and-Trade Plan Will Soak Connecticut Taxpayers
Many Connecticut taxpayers are upset over the Democratic attempt to place tolls on our highways and bridges; but, are unaware of a back door tax that could increase gasoline prices by 50 cents a gallon or more. This plan is being initiated by an unelected panel populated by bureaucrats making six-figure salaries. They are promising to use this money to promote electric cars, buses, and sustainable activities like bicycles and walking. Known as the Transportation and Climate Initiative (TCI to friends), this bureaucratic panel is a regional consortium of nine states and the District of Columbia that can force energy producers to purchase credits from the state based on the amount of carbon emissions of the fuel they sell. This amount, or “cap”, will decrease every year, so that the credits the producers buy increase in price if they are unsuccessful in reducing their carbon footprint. These credits are “traded” on a state-created exchange, so that energy producers who decrease their carbon footprint are rewarded by paying less and those who are unsuccessful pay more. Thus the program is called “Cap-and- Trade.” Got it? Probably not. Neither did I the first (nor … [Read more...]
The Democrats Roll the Dice on Impeachment
Liberal Democratic congressman Al Green hit the nail on the head: “I'm concerned that if we don't impeach this president, he will get re-elected.” Exactly. What has to be understood is that the polls the media routinely feed to the public are biased towards the Democrats with the exception of the Rasmussen poll, which is the only major poll that predicted President Trump’s victory. Presently, Rasmussen has President Trump’s support in the 50% range. Given the inherent Republican advantage with the Electoral College, Congressman Green’s opinion is well-founded. Our political class has access to much more sophisticated polls that are not disclosed to the public. For example, the weekend before the 2016 presidential election, President Obama went to Detroit, Michigan even though the polls fed to the voters had Hillary Clinton ahead by five to six points. President Obama knew that Michigan was a coin toss and thus he tried to rally his base. It was to no avail. The President won Michigan by a razor-thin … [Read more...]
