here's what we don't understand @ReeseOnTheRadio
how could multiple databases somehow mix up just one single record and nothing else? how's that possible?
why can't anyone in an official capacity explain that?
and why did @NedLamont say he never heard of her?
This is what a Pd monitor generally return from the NCIS/Collect system. This makes me think that all the information in the warrant is actually accurate and the more information that comes out the more I think there’s no 2nd person who has same name and DOB in New Britain.
@CTCentinal@DHSgov If there isn’t any type of official clarification after tomorrow’s court appearance then I believe the @FBI and @FBIDirectorKash along with @DHSgov will need to get briefed on what is going on here. Something tells me that this is only the beginning of this situation!!
@CTIronman@RealLToddWood I think the only reason Stamford is being talked about is because the car was registered to the business she owned and it’s located in Stamford. The DL# in the warrant is the same DL# on the voter registration card from New Britain.
An illegal alien KILLED A COP in Danbury, Connecticut.
Melissa Esperanza Ramirez Romero is facing charges including two counts of second degree manslaughter after she struck and killed Officer Cooper Whiteside and his girlfriend.
Connecticut sanctuary politicians must cooperate with @ICEgov and commit to NOT RELEASING this killer back onto our streets.

🔴🇺🇸 CONNECTICUT: Petty Politics Over Patriotism: Connecticut Democrats Snub America’s 250th — and the Heroes, Innovators, and Traditions That Define Us
In a display of small-minded political spite, Connecticut’s Democratic leadership, including Governor Ned Lamont, refused to fund and then rejected a generous private offer to fully underwrite a proper Connecticut booth or pavilion at the Great American State Fair on the National Mall. This 16-day event, running through mid-July 2026, is a centerpiece of the nation’s 250th anniversary celebrations.
Officials cited “resources” and costs estimated at $100,000 or more for staffing a multi-week exhibition. When retired businessman RP Scelzo organized $100,000 in private donations from 10 anonymous donors to cover every penny, the administration’s response was blunt: “It’s a genuinely kind offer, but it’s too late.” Too late to celebrate what, exactly?
Connecticut, the once great Constitution State, has one of the richest and most diverse legacies in American history. We are the state that gave birth to the very idea of written constitutional government with the Fundamental Orders of Connecticut in 1639, a direct forerunner to our national founding documents. Connecticut delegates, including Roger Sherman of New Haven, were central to the creation of the U.S. Constitution itself, helping craft the Great Compromise that saved the Constitutional Convention and shaped the Senate we still have today.
We gave the Revolution one of its most iconic martyrs: Nathan Hale, born in Coventry, Connecticut. The young schoolteacher turned spy for George Washington famously declared before his execution by the British in 1776: “I only regret that I have but one life to lose for my country.” His courage and sacrifice remain a symbol of selfless patriotism.
Connecticut also became the cradle of American innovation and industry. Eli Whitney, who studied at Yale in New Haven, pioneered the system of interchangeable parts at his armory in Hamden, Connecticut, laying the foundation for modern mass production that powered America’s industrial rise. Samuel Colt, born in Hartford, revolutionized firearms with his revolving-cylinder pistol and built one of the nation’s great industrial empires right here in Connecticut, employing thousands and helping define the American System of manufacturing.
In aviation, Igor Sikorsky established his company in Stratford and developed the world’s first practical helicopters in Connecticut. Technology that transformed both military power and civilian life.
Connecticut’s maritime and defense contributions run deep. The U.S. Coast Guard Academy has called New London home since 1932, training generations of officers who protect our shores and enforce maritime law around the world. Just across the river in Groton, Electric Boat has built submarines for the U.S. Navy for more than a century, including the world’s first nuclear-powered submarine, the USS *Nautilus*. Groton proudly calls itself the “Submarine Capital of the World,” and Connecticut workers have helped keep America safe beneath the seas for generations.
In the struggle for civil rights and equality, Connecticut has long been ahead of its time. In the 1830s, Prudence Crandall courageously opened a school for Black girls in Canterbury, Connecticut, defying violent mobs, legal persecution, and the prejudices of her era. She became one of America’s earliest and bravest champions of integrated education.
More than a century later, in the summer of 1944, a 15-year-old Martin Luther King Jr., then a student at Morehouse College, worked harvesting tobacco on a farm in Simsbury, Connecticut, alongside fellow students. In his autobiography, King later wrote that experiencing the lack of segregation in Connecticut’s churches, restaurants, and public life, a stark contrast to the Jim Crow South, deeply influenced his decision to enter the ministry and dedicate his life to the fight for civil rights.
Connecticut has also produced trailblazing leaders. Ella Grasso, elected governor in 1974, became the first woman in American history elected governor in her own right — a milestone that broke barriers for women in politics nationwide.
Even in everyday American culture, Connecticut has left an indelible mark. New Haven is widely recognized as the birthplace of American pizza as we know it. In 1925, Frank Pepe opened what would become Frank Pepe Pizzeria Napoletana on Wooster Street, introducing coal-fired, thin-crust “apizza” that helped make New Haven-style pizza one of the most beloved regional foods in the country. Generations of families have made pilgrimages to Pepe’s, Sally’s Apizza, Modern Apizza, and other legendary spots, turning Connecticut pizza into a delicious source of state pride that has influenced pizzerias across America.
These are not minor footnotes. They are the living legacy of a state that helped forge the nation, from the Revolutionary era through the Industrial Revolution, technological breakthroughs, naval defense, civil rights, political firsts, and even the simple joy of a perfect slice of pizza.
A Connecticut booth at the Great American State Fair could have proudly showcased Nathan Hale’s story; Eli Whitney’s manufacturing revolution; Samuel Colt’s industrial legacy; Igor Sikorsky’s helicopters; the U.S. Coast Guard Academy and Groton’s submarine heritage; Prudence Crandall’s courage; Martin Luther King Jr.’s formative experience in Simsbury; Ella Grasso’s historic governorship; New Haven’s pizza legacy; the Fundamental Orders; and so much more.
Instead, Lamont’s team chose to sit it out.
The official excuse was money. But when private citizens removed that obstacle entirely, the door was still slammed shut. This was never really about budgets. It was about politics. Democrats' reflexive refusal to participate in a national celebration associated with the current Republican president, even when it meant honoring Connecticut’s own heroes, innovators, pioneers, and cultural traditions.
While the state government stayed home, private initiatives have attempted to fill part of the void. Radio host Reese On The Radio, conservative outlets like Connecticut Centinal and local independent journalists like Tony DeAngelo and Bob Swick have encouraged Republicans to set up a presence anyway, drawing attention to the embarrassing absence of official representation. Citizen journalists and everyday Nutmeggers expressed their frustration loudly: Connecticut had the chance to wave the flag for all of these stories and chose not to.
The 250th anniversary comes only once. Connecticut has given America extraordinary figures, breakthroughs, and even delicious traditions worth celebrating on the National Mall. By rejecting both public and private support for a proper booth, Connecticut’s Democratic leaders didn’t just skip an event. They turned their backs on the very heritage that makes this state worth being proud of. The people of Connecticut, and the heroes who came before us, deserved far better.
🚨 UPDATE: BRIDGEPORT, CONNECTICUT ELECTION FRAUD CASES
"All seven defendants made brief court appearances Tuesday before Judge Tracy Lee Dayton, and all had their cases continued to August 13."
Democrat Canvasser Josephine Edmonds, who is facing 4 "Felony charges including witness tampering and illegal possession of absentee ballots from the 2019 election" is expected to plead guilty as part of a plea agreement at her next court date."
Sitting Democrat Bridgeport Councilwoman "Jazmarie Melendez, also is negotiating a plea with the Chief State’s Attorney’s office and will meet prosecutors next week."
She is facing 6 Felony counts over the 2023 election.
Deputy Chief State Attorney Lisa D’Angelo has now taken over these cases due to Kevin Lawlor's retirement.
"The five other defendants are city council members Maria Pereira and Alfredo Castillo, Margaret Joyce, Nilsa Heredia and Wanda Geter-Pataky. All had their cases continued until August 13."
The @ctdems have gone from ‘there is no voter fraud’ to there is ‘very little voter fraud’ to ‘there isn’t enough fraud to change an election.’ What’s more amazing is that despite controlling most of CT and local government, nearly every case of fraud is in their party…
