Sad facts: If ever there is a restated/redefined Republican Party that wants any chance of winning under new parameters, it has to (advocate for): (1) Understand we compete against other states and lose bigly. Your average legislator has the economic sense of an ant. Time to lead. Restate the tax system to simple. low, and broad (and try to eliminate it), and not thrust your chest out at the wimpy/jokey type-plan that the @CTGOP and #ryanfazio proposed. 2) Advocate for the complete torching of @CTDECD and the state funding of NFPs, UNLESS you waive confidentiality and keep a real time dashboard on YOUR nickel, if you want any money. And this goes with making all of your records retroactively public for view. Has any politician ever asked or pursued what the hell goes on in @Advance_CT or the @UconnFoundation? 3) Call for 15% reductions in every department, (the Bob Swick @SwickSpeak plan) and a 15% pay cut for every incoming Commissioner. 4) No voting without Photo ID. Finito. Push hard to get back to "Election Day" which was stupidly cajoled away with mail ballots in 2020 which all but one @CTSenateGOP member agreed to as an "temporary accommodation", with no idea where all of this lead, (even after being screamed at). I, was one of the screamers. (Right, Lenny Fasano?) 5) Strip Citizens elections (and at least 10 other things). Its a money tree for the clowns, failures, consultants, and wannabes. 6) And scrap the bipartisanship crap. Not for today. Call them Commies and Marxists and embarrass them with their destruction. If you can't do any of that, having Abraham Lincoln as your chair will not make a difference. If the Chair can't pursue those bright lines, this is a useless exercise. And a party that won't due that needs to go the way of the Dodo Bird.

This is a formal request for Susie Wiles and James Blair to stop harassing me with texts and calls. If there is a factual inaccuracy in what I said, send it to me in writing and I will vigorously correct and apologize for any misstatements. I will note that everything I said is substantiated by other senior officials. If you want to file a lawsuit and get into discovery of whether it’s provably true that Ballard and Continental had an undue influence on the White House policy process, do it. I believe we are in an existential moment for the country, and Americans were owed an honest accounting of the past two years so we identify the problems we need to move on from.

@GrowingUpRetro Rendezvous Inn (The Vous), College Park, Maryland...Very early 80's. Pitchers of beer, paper cups, loud music...and no cell phones. I Ioved this place.

I suspect Susie Wiles WANTS to head back to Florida to cash in on the political patronage she showered on the new governor over the course of his campaign.

Hoping the new administration will protect Jonathan Dickinson State Park in Hobe Sound from golf course developers.

@hartfordcourant @nhregister @rep_am @thedayct @CTCentinal @WTNH @WFSBnews @GovNedLamont @CTDems @CTGOP HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Best State AG in the Country!!! And Connecticut gets Tahoe Billy Tong!!!

@hartfordcourant @nhregister @misterrepublic @thedayct @WTNH @WFSBnews @CTDems @CTGOP Meanwhile….in The People’s Democratic Republic of Connecticut… The Nedster™ Illegally clear-cut 180+ trees (and thousands of bushes) in protected wetlands behind his Greenwich home to open up a better view of a pond. Ned awarded multimillion-dollar no-bid COVID testing contracts to Sema4, a company in which his wife Annie’s venture firm Oak HC/FT was a significant investor. He also personally signed off on a $250,000 no-bid consulting contract to former Education Commissioner/U.S. Education Secretary Miguel Cardona’s firm to do the work of a commission Cardona HIMSELF was appointed to chair as an “unpaid volunteer." Ned maintained a VERY cozy texting relationship with Eversource CEO Joe Nolan (who urged Ned to “intervene” on a ~$1B storm-cost fight and has described Lamont as a friend). Electricity rates remain among the nation’s highest; EIA data shows roughly a 38% RISE IN RESIDENTIAL ELECTRIC RATES since NED took office. Ned locked down the ENTIRE STATE for years under emergency powers, kept schools closed WAY longer than many peer Governors, delayed businesses re-opening, and botched a high-profile plan to deliver hundreds of thousands of at-home COVID tests over the holidays. Under Ned's watch the State Pier offshore-wind project ballooned from a $93M estimate to well over $300M; +222% (with major state bailouts or the project approved by the Bond Commission NED chairs) Ned's former deputy budget director Kosta Diamantis was convicted on 20+ federal bribery/extortion charges involving school construction contracts; his former chief of staff was found to have chronically misused a state vehicle for personal use (including reckless speeds) Connecticut continues to see net domestic out-migration as residents and income leave for lower-tax states. But hey...Ned's got MOJO!

@hartfordcourant @nhregister @rep_am @thedayct @CTCentinal @WTNH @WFSBnews @GovNedLamont @CTDems @CTGOP Connecticut ranked the #46 State for Tax Competitiveness in 2027. And #BoobusNutmegus just re-elected the team that put the State at the bottom of the ranking. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Oh...and you're not hearing this from @benproto59 because???? x.com/RonDeSantis/status/211…

2027...The Year of War US v Iran (Air + Ground + Cyber) Russia v Ukraine NATO v Russia China v Taiwan At some point in the 2027 war escalation the US WILL re-instate the military draft. Initial draft age range will be 19 - 25....Men AND Women.

To (just about) anyone wearing a Republican uniform in 2026. Your Grand Mal TDS @POTUS Derangement syndrome, and your inability or unwillingness, (more than likely) to sift the good from what you did not like with standing policies and advocate that, has caused this wretch @SenWarren to chair the Senate Banking Committee in 2027. Look forward to hearings, subpoenas, declining market and 401(k)s and 403(b)s, and a no-growth or declining economy. I said this as far back as September. I told you this was coming. No one got it. Happy? You should be. And take a bow. You all earned it. @gop @SenateGOP @HouseGOP @CTGOP @CTSenateGOP @cthousegop @ryanfazio wsj.com/politics/policy/eliz…

Yo Connecticut... #BoobusNutmegus and The Idiots in Hartford™ are gonna go FULL FASCIST on y'all. GTFO!

WATCH #TENWITHTONY STARVE THEM ALL OUT ON @YOUTUBE youtu.be/G0eHKwfiwLE

I suspect Susie Wiles will leave DC. No idea how her departure will be characterized. There's a new Florida Guv who owes Susie BIG TIME and Susie + Ballard partners would be crazy not to cash in on that.

Word...

And did anyone press him for details on his accomplishments?

@benproto59 claims..."We've accomplished a lot..." No. You’ve accomplished nothing that matters...and less than nothing relative to the job. Your sole deliverable as @CTGOP Chair is to increase Republican power in Connecticut. By every measurable standard...seats, statewide wins, competitive strength...you have FAILED MISERABLY!!! Under your tenure the party has gone from competitive to near extinction in the Senate and in the House. Democrats now hold veto-proof supermajorities with no real Republican counterweight. Connecticut has become a one-party state on your watch. You have lost the results, the credibility, and the referent authority to remain in the position. Resign. x.com/CammJA203/status/21183…
