• Making America Great Again President Trump held a rally on Saturday in Florida to talk to supporters about all the progress in Making America Great Again. It's important to the President to be among the people who he's working for every day. This past election was a great movement - a movement we've never seen before in our country. President Trump put it best when he said, "I want to be in a room filled with hardworking American patriots who love their country, who salute their flag, and who pray for a better future."

Oath Keepers - Insurrection!

by Navy Jack

It seems like everyone I speak with has an opinion regarding who is to blame for the violent protests against President Trump. Some think it's the Communists. Others only see the Anti-Fascists. Some believe it is a race war, the rise of radical Islam or a war against police, and on and on. Let me end the speculation. The individuals responsible for the insurrection that is taking place in our country are the Globalists. These are the same Globalists that overthrew the Ukraine, Egypt, Libya and Syria. The Globalists are intent on World domination. They are the 4th Reich. They are Fascists and White Supremacists that wish to dominate over people of color or eliminate them altogether. They already own most of the World's wealth and resources and they want the rest.  They do not care what your individual or group politics are as long as you are willing to take the fight to the new administration.  They must end the Trump administration before the administration unwinds the Globalist's control of our nation and our military. Globalist Influence over U.S. Social and Political Movements The Globalists will fund, support and embolden any group willing to enter the fight. They control the Main Stream Media (MSM) and the entertainment industry. They are forcing propaganda out to the public at a furious rate. Those who were opposed to one or another of the policies of the new administration have been whipped up into frenzy, thinking they are fighting against a fascist dictator. The irony is that they are merely puppets of the true fascists , the Globalist 4th Reich.

Sen. Linares Proposes Electoral College Vote for 2nd Congressional District

State Senator Art Linares (R-33) on Wednesday testified before the legislature’s Government Administration and Elections Committee in support of a bill he proposed to give the 2^nd Congressional District its own vote in the Electoral College.

SB 133, An Act Concerning The Electoral College Vote Attributed To The State's Second Congressional District, was submitted by Sen. Linares as a way to give a voice and more visibility to the people and businesses of the 2^nd Congressional District.

During his testimony, Sen. Linares said that while people know the Naval Submarine Base and the U.S. Coast Guard Academy, other areas of the district don’t get much notice.

“Presidents and vice presidents are customary speakers at Academy graduations. Members of Congress tour the facility that is the United States Navy’s primary East Coast submarine base,” Sen. Linares said. “However, during presidential primary and election years, the Second Congressional District and its important facilities are passed by. I’d like to change that.”

Sen. Linares said his bill would use the popular vote in the district to determine what candidate would get the Electoral College vote from the district. In addition to possibly generating more interest from presidential candidates, he said the bill would give the 2^nd Congressional District the attention the unique area deserves,

Senator Linares represents the communities of Chester, Clinton, Colchester, Deep River, East Haddam, East Hampton, Essex, Haddam, Lyme, Old Saybrook, Portland and Westbrook

'Progressives' Fantasizing about Civil War like Children Playing with Fire

Have those cavalierly proposing such scenarios as the appropriate response to
Donald Trump considered all the likely factors?

by David Codrea

"Chicago 'scholar' claims militias would be 'toast' if resisting military coup," I posted  last month. A "progressive journalist" was enamored of a "progressive academic," both presuming the military is as predominantly subversive as they are. It would not only help them depose President Trump, the delusion goes, but would do all their dirty work for them.

And as for the fate of us "bitter clingers" and "deplorables"? They did their best to convince their echo chamber we'd be made short and effortless work of.

This presupposes those who support and defend the Constitution are the enemy. And the whole fantasy seems painfully unaware of the myriad factors that would rise to the surface and compete for dominance once disincentives against them were weakened or removed.

Governor Malloy Announces a Budget that is BAD for EVERYONE

This Week: We're Moving! Connecticut Republican headquarters is moving to Southington on February 21, 2017. Governor Malloy Announces a Budget that is BAD for EVERYONE Governor Dan Malloy has put forth a budget proposal with tax increases close to $200 million in 2018.  The new tax proposals could include: an elimination of the property tax credit (bad for Middle-Class families), the resurgent of the minimum bottle pricing (bad for small business), property tax increases to hospitals, teacher pension funding gaps, and many more absurd proposals.  The S&P warned that Malloy's plan to shift financial burdens onto municipalities could be devistating - leaving municipal officials no choice but to raise property taxes.  Meanwhile, the Connecticut State University Sytems warned they may be forced to declare exigency (bad for students).  All of this after the Governor pledged there would be "no new taxes."   Who Needs a Medical Examiner Anyways? After years of warning, the Connecticut State Medical Examiner's Office lost its full accrediation.  This will leave all medical evidence collected in Connecticut open for dispute - placing a larger burden on the Judicial Branch.  The National Association of Medical Examiners found four major deficiencies and 15  smaller deficiencies that must be corrected by September -- or Connecticut will no longer have any accrediation from the national organization.  With cuts in funding and loss of accrediation a large burden is being placed back on municipalities -- another unfunded mandate stemming from the Malloy Administration.   Linda McMahon the Right Choice for SBA! Former Republican Senate candidate and former CEO of World Wrestling Entertainment Linda McMahon, was confirmed as the head of the Small Business Association in a 81-19 vote on Tuesday. President Trump’s cabinet appointees have dealt with constant obstruction from Democrat senators throughout the confirmation process making McMahon’s bipartisan affirmation a tremendous victory.  Senators praised her experience and unquestionable record as a champion for small businesses and women alike. McMahon is poised to bring prosperity to small business owners in the face of a system previously run by partisan bureaucrats during the Obama administration. Facebook Twitter Website
