America’s incompetent Ruling Class has struggled without success to remove President Trump from office, whether it be by recounts, harassing electors, charging him with being a Russian agent or impeaching him. While there may be another soporific “bombshell” in the next few months, it appears that the only way the President will leave office is if he is defeated this November. However, an unforeseen problem has occurred: the popularity of Vermont senator Bernie Sanders. A self-described socialist, Sanders launched a populist campaign against Hillary Clinton in 2016 and may have been the nominee had the system not been rigged by superdelegates and a fawning Clinton-loving media. Furthermore, polls consistently showed that Sanders was a stronger candidate against Trump than Clinton. With Sanders, what you see is what you get. Unlike Joe Biden, who has flip-flopped on virtually every issue, Sanders consistently favored Medicare-for-All, free college, forgiveness of all student debt, amnesty for illegal … [Read more...]
Lamont’s New Toll Proposal is More of the Same
Having failed to convince the good people of Connecticut to allow tolls for cars, Governor Lamont and the Democrats are hoping to sucker us into believing that if we allow toll gantries on twelve bridges just for Class 8 trucks (tractor trailers and large dump trucks); we will no longer be harassed for more money. But their actual goal is simply to get these gantries in place because with just a software change, tolls can be imposed later on smaller trucks, cars, motorcycles or any moving object attached to a taxpayer. Let’s look at some of the details: 1. The Department of Transportation (DOT) will have the ability to increase the tolls on the Class 8 trucks. This is the goal of our political class: To cede power to unelected bureaucracies to do their bidding. As soon as this legislation is passed, the DOT will jack up the tolls. Lamont is estimating that these tolls will bring in $187 million to finance $19.4 billion in bonds to update and repair our infrastructure. But the truckers will respond by avoiding … [Read more...]
Predictions for 2020
Once again, it is time to look into the crystal ball and predict what will happen in 2020. But unlike most pundits who hope you will forget their previous prognostications, I will review my predictions for 2019. 1. The stock market will remain flat. Thankfully wrong. It gained over 25%. 2. President Trump will not be impeached. Debatable. A vote to impeach the President passed the House but some legal scholars believe impeachment does not occur until the articles are passed to the Senate. Thus far, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has refused to do so. 3. Michael Bloomberg will become the frontrunner for the Democratic nomination. Partial credit. There is no clear frontrunner and Bloomberg is a player. 4. Alabama will win the football national championship. Wrong. Clemson crushed them. 5. The Patriots will win the Super Bowl. To my infinite disgust, correct. … [Read more...]
