Connecticut: Where The Biggest Criminal Is The Government

It is staggering to me and to many others how mired Connecticut participates in various forms of crime of all types, where little to nothing is ever done to cause the perpetrators to account. Moreover, several types of activity such as gambling, weed, and abusive practices with children in educational settings have been made “legal”, regardless of their deleterious effects on the citizenry. Sophisticated patterns of self-dealing, larceny, and financial fraud from high-ranking government officials are as much of a hallmark of the Great Nutmeg State as New Haven Pizza. 

But as the crimes mount and the nationwide shock grows at yet another Connecticut crime, scam, or embarrassment, one thing is for sure:

Crime is simply a way of life in Connecticut, and the biggest criminal, is the state government.

Let’s start with something we are all familiar with. Death. Death is an everyday occurrence in the state of Connecticut. Some deaths are caused by criminals and crime. One such example, which could have been avoided was the senseless death of off-duty Bridgeport Police Officer Cooper Whiteside, who was only 38, years old  and passenger Brittany Islami, only 34 years old. Ms. Islami had three children who now have no mother. They were killed by a Melissa Ramirez, who allegedly had a had a blood alcohol content almost twice the legal limit. 

What was not reported in this state-run media article, (nor, as of the time of this writing was even mentioned by ANY candidate or elected official), was that Ramirez, was an illegal alien. The Department of Homeland Security confirmed in a statement to The Connecticut Centinal that Ramirez was in the country illegally.  This person who was here illegally did not have a Connecticut driver’s license according to the Connecticut Department of Motor Vehicles, and a substance abuse issue. It is interesting to note that there was little mention in Connecticut’s mainstream state-run media as to Ramirez being in our country illegally, because in Connecticut crime is a way of life, and Connecticut is the paterfamilias Criminal.

‘Shared Mission’: Pope Leo XIV Meets with Radical Pro-Abortion Rocker Patti Smith

On Friday, Pope Leo XIV met with radical rocker Patti Smith in a meeting a Vatican official described as a ‘shared mission,’ even as Smith makes it clear publicly that she is not even Catholic.

Smith, who originally hails from Chicago like the pontiff, is a radical, pro-abortion, pro-LGBT punk rock star who made her mark in the 1970’s.

Among the lyrics she became famous for is the opening line from the song “Gloria” from her 1975 debut album Horses, which states, “Jesus died for somebody’s sins, but not mine.”

Smith has been a vocal supporter of abortion, something that the Vatican did not seem bothered by in their celebration of her private audience with Leo.

During a press conference in 2018, Smith made statements supporting legal access to abortion, framing it as a complex personal matter where protecting women’s lives takes priority over ideology and as a ‘healthcare’ issue.

She said at the time, “It is a personal matter, and each one has to do what seems right to them. I believe it is more important to save the lives of young women, or of any person who makes this type of decision, than to base the decision on any type of ideology.”

Following the U.S. Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v. Wade, she described the decision as “terrible.”

BLM Rioters in Wisconsin Threaten to Kill Journalists Nick Sortor and Karlyn Borysenko While Preventing Them from Leaving Area and Attacking Car with VOMIT 

Independent journalists Nick Sortor and Karlyn Borysenko were in serious danger on Saturday night after being confronted, threatened with death, and having their vehicle attacked with vomit by Black Lives Matter rioters in a self-declared “autonomous zone” that has taken over several blocks of downtown Madison, Wisconsin.

The zone, known as the “Corey Ruiz Autonomous Zone” or “CRAZ,” was formed in the days following the July 22 police shooting of Corey Ruiz, an armed serial felon who was killed while allegedly attacking an officer with a knife.

Protesters have built barricades of pallets, furniture, and spike strips, blocked streets, set up tents, and effectively seized control of the area around Williamson and Baldwin streets, using the playbook from Seattle’s 2020 CHOP/CHAZ.

Sortor, who was driving with Borysenko in the passenger seat, stopped near the encampment and stepped out of the vehicle in an attempt to make jokes and lighten the mood.

Instead, activists surrounded him, blocked him from returning to his car, swung a pole at him, sprayed vomit on him and his vehicle, damaged the left front quarter panel, and repeatedly threatened to kill him.

AI Policy Organizations Call for Federal Investigation into OpenAI Hacking Incident

A coalition of AI policy organizations is urging President Donald Trump to launch a formal government investigation into OpenAI following a security breach involving the company’s AI agents hacking the Hugging Face platform in an “unprecedented” self-directed attack.

The Washington Post reports that a group of prominent AI policy organizations has sent a letter to President Trump requesting an official investigation into a recent security incident at OpenAI, where an AI hacked into the Hugging Face AI platform in a self-directed attack. The letter, led by Brad Carson, president of Americans for Responsible Innovation, and Brendan Steinhauser, CEO of the Alliance for Secure AI, emphasizes the severity of the incident and calls for independent auditors to examine what occurred.

The letter has garnered support from several respected organizations, including Public Citizen, the Future of Life Institute, and FAR.AI, an independent AI research and evaluation organization. The coalition argues that the incident reveals broader vulnerabilities in AI systems that require government oversight and public transparency.

Carson drew a comparison between the OpenAI incident and aviation disasters, stating that while private investigations have their place, public interest demands government involvement. “This is kind of like an airplane crash,” Carson said. “It’s fine if Boeing wants to investigate itself for this. Even if they hire a very reputable outside person to help them on that project, [we] have a public interest in knowing what’s going on here.”

The call for investigation comes as METR, an independent AI research nonprofit, announced an agreement with OpenAI to conduct research into the security incident alongside Redwood Research. However, Carson expressed concerns about the scope and transparency of this private investigation, questioning whether METR operates under a non-disclosure agreement and whether findings will be made public.

An OpenAI spokesperson responded by stating that METR and Redwood Research plan to publish a joint blog detailing their agreement terms and evaluation scope. “This is an unprecedented incident, and we think it marks an important moment for AI safety,” the spokesperson said. “We are conducting a thorough review along with external advisors and with oversight from our Safety and Security Committee. Once the review is complete, we will publish a technical report of our learnings for everyone.”

Senator Bernie Moreno Calls on Former Son-in-Law Rep. Max Miller to Resign from Congress Amid Domestic Abuse Allegations

Senator Bernie Moreno (R-OH) on Sunday called for Rep. Max Miller (R-OH) to resign from Congress amid allegations of domestic abuse.

Max Miller is accused of holding a gun to his wife’s head during their marriage and breaking his daughter’s collarbone.

On Sunday morning, Max Miller denied abusing his ex-wife Emily Moreno and their 2-year-old daughter.

Rep. Miller vowed to stay in the Congressional race.

Later Sunday, Senator Moreno said Max Miller should not serve in the House of Representatives.

Senator Moreno said the last two years have been “pure hell” for his family in the aftermath of his daughter’s divorce.

Full statement from Bernie Moreno:

As a father and husband, I can tell you the last two years have been pure hell for my wife Bridget, our daughter Emily, me, and our entire family in the aftermath of Emily’s divorce.

It has been horrific to watch this play out in full public view, all while knowing an innocent two-year-old girl is caught in the middle. Our priority has always been protecting our daughter and our granddaughter. Out of concern for the safety of my family, I hoped to keep this matter private but Max Miller’s increasingly erratic and dangerous behavior has made that impossible.

As he has admitted privately, Max Miller needs serious psychological help. He is a danger to my daughter, and I hold my breath every minute he has custody of my granddaughter.

If there are any basic standards of character required to hold elected office, Max Miller fails them. He should not serve in the House of Representatives. I believe Max Miller needs to seek professional help to end the clear pattern of abuse he has left in his wake. I believe he should not be free to continue endangering others until he does.

I ran for office because I wanted to make a difference for the country that gave me every opportunity to succeed, and to leave this nation better for my children and grandchildren. That sacrifice has been especially hard on my wife Bridget, whose big heart and steady support have never wavered. I owe it to her, to Emily, and to my granddaughter to speak the truth now.

“Shameful and Desperate” – Maine Senate Candidate Troy Jackson Pushes Back But Doesn’t Deny Having Kids With Cousin

Democratic Maine Senate candidate Troy Jackson has broken his silence on reports that he married (co-mingled with) his second cousin and fathered children with her. 

Notably, there was no denial of the report. Instead, his campaign chalked it up as “Personal attacks on Troy’s family” as if there’s nothing wrong with marrying your own relative.

“Susan Collins will do anything to distract from the fact that she votes with Trump 96% of the time and has sold out working people in Maine. Personal attacks on Troy’s family are shameful and desperate,” the Jackson campaign said in a statement to Fox News.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, it was revealed that Jackson’s wife is actually his second cousin. The pair had two children together.

“Jackson, a 26-year politician and lobbyist, has made a career of bragging that he’s a is a fifth-generation logger, but you don’t have to go far back the generational line to find where it crosses paths with the ancestors of his significant other Lana M. Pelletier,” Maine Wire editor-in-chief Steve Robinson revealed.

“Jackson and Pelletier share the same great-grandparents: Thomas Pelletier and Edith Thibodeau. Thomas and Edith’s daughter Albertine was Troy’s grandmother; their son Louis Sr. was Lana’s grandfather. That makes Troy and Lana second cousins on the Pelletier line.”

Obama-Appointed Judge Defies SCOTUS, Now Faces Impeachment

An Obama-appointed federal judge just decided the Supreme Court’s rulings are more like suggestions, and Republicans in Congress are done pretending she has the authority to make that call.

U.S. District Judge Allison Burroughs issued an order on Friday blocking the Trump administration from ending Temporary Protected Status for Somali nationals. It was a brazen display of judicial activism, and it took Republicans about a weekend to respond.

Rep. Andy Ogles (R-Tenn.) announced he will file articles of impeachment against Burroughs on Monday, accusing her of trampling both the Constitution and a Supreme Court ruling that should have ended this fight already.

In a 6-3 decision in June, the justices held that the TPS statute bars federal courts from second-guessing the Department of Homeland Security’s calls on designating, extending, or terminating the program. That ruling reversed lower courts and cleared the way for the Trump administration to end TPS protections for Syrian and Haitian nationals while any remaining constitutional claims get sorted out.

Burroughs apparently didn’t get the memo, or didn’t care.

“SCOTUS made it very clear that lower courts cannot suspend TPS. Yet, an Obama-appointed judge is defying the Court and the Constitution in an attempt to subvert the will of the President,” Ogles said in a statement to Just the News. “This judicial activist’s obstruction of the people’s will must be stopped. Judge Burroughs must be impeached.”

Ogles isn’t the only one calling this out. “Judge Allison Burroughs just entered yet another order preventing the termination of Somalia TPS,” Department of Homeland Security General Counsel James Percival said in a post on X. “There is no serious debate about what is going on in these cases – defiance, obstruction, and delay.”

Make no mistake about it, this is a judge manufacturing a legal fiction to override a president she does not like and a Supreme Court that already ruled against her position. She is not interpreting the law. She is rewriting it in real time to get the outcome she wants.

Burroughs flouted the nation’s highest court in broad daylight. If there is no consequence for that kind of defiance, every activist judge in the country just learned they can ignore the Supreme Court whenever it is inconvenient. Frankly, the ruling should be flat-out ignored because the Supreme Court has already ruled on this issue.

Impeachment is not an overreaction here. It is the bare minimum response to a judge who thinks she outranks the Constitution.

Fans Outraged After Multiple WNBA Coaches Refuse to Protect Women’s Sports from Trans Athletes

Three Women’s National Basketball Association (WNBA) coaches have announced their support for allowing men who claim to be women to play in women’s sports over the last few days.

The debate over allowing men to invade women’s sports was kicked back into high gear after Indiana Fever star Sophie Cunningham delivered the common sense position that women’s sports should not allow transgender players to join their league. She said she feels it is the right thing to do to protect women’s sports against the unsafe and unfair physical advantage that men have over women.

Since Cunningham’s interview with ESPN, left-wing sports media reporters have begun pestering WNBA players and coaches about how they “feel” over Cunningham’s position on the issue. And to date, three coaches have sided with the inclusion of men in women’s sports.

On Friday, for instance, Cunningham’s own coach, Stephanie White, tried to have it both ways by saying she isn’t informed enough to have a set opinion on the “science” of the issue, but added that excluding men from women’s sports isn’t the way to address the problem.

“I don’t know that I would say I’m educated enough from a scientific standpoint. I don’t ever believe that exclusion is the answer. I just don’t. I do think that when we think about various levels of sport, various governing bodies of sport, and things that go into that, like I said, I’m not educated enough at the different levels. I know growing up I played with the boys all the time,” White said, according to Fox News.

Crack Pipes, Get Yer’ Crack Pipes! Free Crack Pipes!: California Taxpayers Fund Drug Paraphernalia

As governor of California, Gavin Newsom has repeatedly supported “harm reduction” policies, which enable drug use in the name of making it “safer.” He created the state’s Harm Reduction Initiative, which funded “syringe services programs” for “people who inject and smoke fentanyl and/or methamphetamines.” His Department of Public Health has endorsed distributing syringes, glass pipes, and “[c]ontainers for mixing injectable drugs” to drug users. Newsom argued earlier this year that harm-reduction tactics “increase the likelihood of people entering substance use treatment.”

But do California’s harm-reduction programs encourage addicts to enter treatment? We visited the Skid Row Care Campus, a homeless-services site in Los Angeles County, to witness “harm reduction” in action. We discovered that, instead of directing addicts to get clean, the taxpayer-funded program doles out free paraphernalia, enabling addicts to get high – no questions asked.

We arrived at Skid Row in the morning. The campus, bounded by pastel-colored buildings and a metal gate, looked like an apocalyptic wasteland. Homeless people and addicts were splayed across the common areas, with some smoking what seemed to be hard drugs with impunity.

We stepped onto the courtyard connected to the street. No one stopped us, asked for identification, or searched us for weapons or drugs. This is apparently by design, judging by the Skid Row Action Plan and its implementation outline, which, singly or together, inspired the creation of the campus, denounced the “racist and classist war on drugs,” and called on local officials to create hubs “free from monitoring by law enforcement” and staffed by people with histories of “substance use and sex work.”

We entered campus and found a walk-up counter, where an attendant sat before shelves of drug paraphernalia. Users come to this counter to get free needles and crack pipes, with which they can inject or smoke hard drugs.

“What can I get you?” he asked. “We have oil burners, we have spray shooters, we have socks, we have petroleum jelly.”
