USAID : YOUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK

 That damn Elon Musk, the nerve of him to be exposing waste in our Government. This is something that is long overdue. This is exactly the type of common sense the US People voted for when they brought Donald J. Trump back for a second term. And how does America benefit from almost 100% of these ridiculous expenditures, and how does $32,000 for a transgender comic book in  Peru  make lives better for Americans?

$2.5 million for electric vehicles in Vietnam?  $2million for sex changes in Guatemala, are you kidding me? More programs are listed below as to where  your tax dollars are being wasted, at the same time we have homeless veterans sleeping  on the Streets, while at the. same time we can fun $2million for   "LGBT Activism" in Guatemala. How much housing could that obtain for homeless on our Country's  streets? Do the US taxpayers have to solve the problems of every Country on Earth? 

How much money has been sent to the United States after the Sothern Hurricanes this year or to help rebuild, or after the Cailfornia wild fires to rebuild, or even after the Hawaii fires last year. I will go out on a limb here and say -0- dollars

This is just a partial list of some of the extremely questionable grants, but just keep paying those taxes. 

• $1.5 million to “advance diversity equity and inclusion in Serbia’s workplaces and business communities”
• $70,000 for production of a “DEI musical” in Ireland
• $2.5 million for electric vehicles for Vietnam
• $47,000 for a “transgender opera” in Colombia
• $32,000 for a “transgender comic book” in Peru
• $2 million for sex changes and “LGBT activism” in Guatemala
• $6 million to fund tourism in Egypt
• Hundreds of thousands of dollars for a non-profit linked to designated terrorist organizations — even AFTER an inspector general launched an investigation
• Millions to EcoHealth Alliance — which was involved in research at the Wuhan lab
• “Hundreds of thousands of meals that went to al Qaeda-affiliated fighters in Syria”
• Funding to print “personalized” contraceptives birth control devices in developing countries
• Hundreds of millions of dollars to fund “irrigation canals, farming equipment, and even fertilizer used to support the unprecedented poppy cultivation and heroin production in Afghanistan,” benefiting the Taliban
• Thank  you Elon, keep going.

KILLING A POLICE OFFICER SHOULD BE AN AUTOMATIC DEATH PENALTY CRIME

 

There aren't any crimes that I can think of worse than murdering a Police Officer in the performance of their Duty. Our Legislature in their "infinite wisdom" abolished the Death Penalty for the murder of a Police Officer. You would think that they would have at the very least, passed Legislation mandating Life in prison with no possibility of Parole. Anyone with a shred of common sense might ask "what is the deterrent to murdering a Police Officer or Correction Officer if you are already facing life in Prison. The answer is simple, even to a Brain-Dead Legislator, NONE.

Astonishingly, the murderer of Trooper Russel Bagshaw, Duane Johnson is up for Parole. Johnson  was in the middle of a Burglary on June 5, 1991 at a  gun store in Windham, when Trooper Bagshaw in the performance of his regular patrol came across the parasite on the community who shot and killed Trooper Bagshaw, ending the life of a promising Connecticut State Trooper.

This release should never be allowed to stand by the Parole Board. You can voice your concern by sending a letter or an e-mail to the Connecticut Parole Board by January 29th at BPP@ Ct.gov, or by mail at Board of Pardons and Parole, 55 West main Street, Waterbury, CT,  06702.

Parole hearing regarding inmate Duane Johnson, Inmate number 205961. Please note that in your correspondence as well as your objection to this potential travesty

WHERE D.E.I. GOES TO D.I.E.

 

                                                             The White House

It seems somewhat ironic that President Donald J. Trump was inaugurated as America's 47th President on January 20, 2025, a day also celebrated as the birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King jr..

It also seems ironic, that by an Executive Order signed by President Trump shortly after his swearing in, he may have granted one of MLK's wishes. 

In a Civil Rights speech delivered by Dr. King in Washington D.C. on August 28, 1963, he is quoted as saying the following;

 "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character."

President Donald J Trump is quite possibly making Kings dream a reality through one of his first Executive Orders that he enacted. President Trump suspended immediately all DEI (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion) in the Federal Government. This is part of President Trump's campaign pledge to return common sense to the US Government. All Federal DEI offices and employees were furloughed as of 5:00PM on January 22, 2025

This will probably turn out to be a hot button issue for the Trump Administration, but anyone who has taken a breath in the past ten years will know that President Trump does not shy away from his principles or character.

It is encouraging that we will now get back to hiring and promoting employees on the Federal Level based upon their character and  merit, rather than by race, gender or sexual preference or identity. All as Dr King wished in 1963.

Happy Birthday Doctor King.

HMEA UNION PRESIDENT REMOVED FOR ALLEGED FINANCIAL IMPROPRIETIES

According to a Hartford City Hall whistleblower, the President of the Hartford Municipal Employees Association, (HMEA) has been removed after action   was taken by the Unions Board of Directors. Sean Antoine, the HMEA Union President was removed after allegations of misuse  of the Unions Debit Card were brought to light by another Union Member. Allegations were that over a thousand dollars were made by Antoine during a trip to Dubai. Since that revelation, other allegations have been made that Antoine may have forged the Union Treasurers signature on checks.  That allegation is currently under investigation.

Antoine was also employed by the City of Hartford in the City Treasurers Office. According to an e-mail  obtained by  "WE THE PEOPLE", Antoine was placed on Administrative leave from City employment as of August 23rd. Subsequently, Antoine submitted his resignation/retirement  effective as of August 26, 2024.

According to the e-mail obtained, City Treasurer Carmen Sierra is expected to use an outside  Auditor to conduct a review of Antoine's activities while employed in the Treasurers Office.

It is unclear at this point if Antoine's actions will be referred  to the Hartford Police Department regarding the alleged Union financial improprieties

THE TESLA DOESN'T LIE

 

This is another one from the " You can't make this stuff up" file.

Normally an Officer Involved Shooting  (OIS) is an all hands on deck type of situation. Apparently, according to several sources, one Hartford Police Officer had different ideas.

On October 16, 2023 at approximately 1:54PM On October 16, 2023 at approximately 1:54 p.m., Hartford Police Officer Brian Sulliman, who was on routine patrol operating a marked Harford Police cruiser, atempted to stop a motor vehicle on Westland Street. The vehicle, a grey-colored four-door Honda Accord bearing Florida registration 49DJXP, stopped on Westland Street near the intersection with Barbour Street. As soon as the vehicle came to a stop, a person, later identified as Jamie Grant, exited the front passenger door and walked to the rear of the vehicle. Officer Sulliman exited his police vehicle and approached the Honda. The Honda Accord then drove from the scene.

Grant was holding what appeared to be a firearm in his left hand. He raised his arm in the direction of Officer Sulliman. In response, Officer Sulliman then discharged his firearm multiple times striking Grant. Grant fell in the middle of the intersection of Westland Street and Barbour Street. Grant was later pronounced dead.

At about the same time another Hartford Police Officer who was working a private duty job in the area apparently passed the area in his private vehicle at the time of the shooting. The Officer, who I am not naming at this time, is reportedly a 12 year veteran of HPD. He most likely would have still been in his HPD uniform at this point as he was apparently directing traffic at a road job. Sources are telling me that much of this was captured on various cameras in the area. The officer was captured on video in his Tesla passing through the area at the same time. Rather than stop to render assistance, and also as a witness to an Officer Involved Shooting, he mad a U-Turn and left the area. This is inexcusable.

Also when questioned about it, he apparently claimed that his department issued firearm was in the trunk of his Tesla, and that is why he didn't stop. He also claimed he put his weapon in the trunk of the Tesla because he didn't want it on his leather seats.

The other interesting point is that, according to Tesla, the vehicles come equipped with 9 cameras throughout and around the vehicle recording video with high definition , crystal clear video. If the gun and gun belt were actually in the trunk, that would most likely be captured on video. I also have confirmed that HPD Policy requires Officers to be armed while they are in the City and in uniform.

I have to ask , what kind of Police Officer would not stop to render assistance to a fellow officer just involved in a traumatic incident, and how could any other officer have any confidence in someone exhibiting a cowardly act like this.

This is unacceptable, and when all the facts are in, it requires quick and severe action by Chief Thody up to and including termination for cowardice.

The following information details the in car cameras on Tesla vehicles:

The front cameras are located at the top of the windshield. They consist of a camera with a typical lens, a wide-angle lens, and a telephoto lens. The telephoto camera can see up to 250 meters ahead according to Tesla, ideal for high-speed Autopilot use, while the main lens covers 150 meters. In addition, the wide-angle lens gives a panoramic-like view for navigation at complex intersections and tight curves.

Rear View Camera

The rearview camera is positioned above the license plate. It provides a view of up to 50 meters behind the vehicle, assisting with parking, reverse driving and reverse automatic emergency braking.

Fender Cameras

Teslas contain a camera on each fender that points toward the rear of the vehicle at about a 45° angle. This allows the vehicle to see vehicles to its side and help monitor the vehicle's blind spots.

These cameras can also be viewed by the driver when using Tesla's blind spot monitor feature, or by enabling the side cameras while in reverse, which displays the reverse camera feed, along with the fender or 'repeater' cameras.

B-Pillar Cameras

Tesla vehicles also include two other side cameras that are found on the B-pillar. Instead of aiming backward like the repeater cameras, these cameras are aimed toward the front of the vehicle. This allows them to capture areas in the front half of the vehicle. These cameras aid with intersections, parking and more. Unfortunately, the video from these cameras can only be viewed while the vehicle is parked and by going to Controls > Service and tapping on 'Preview Cameras'.

Cabin Camera

All current Tesla models include a cabin camera. The camera is located above the rearview mirror and monitors driver attentiveness, especially when Autopilot is in use. You can view the cabin camera onscreen by navigating to Controls > Service > Preview Cabin Camera. You can also view it through the Tesla app if Sentry Mode is enabled and Sentry Mode Live Access is available in your region.

Future Bumper Camera

Looking ahead, newer Tesla models are expected to feature a bumper camera, as seen in the Cybertruck prototypes. Additionally, with hardware 4.0, the cameras have a higher resolution and an anti-glare coating for enhanced visibility.

Functionality Unveiled: The Multifaceted Uses of Tesla's Cameras

Tesla's cameras play a vital role in the advanced features the vehicles are known for. Their primary use is for the Autopilot system and active safety features like Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB). Furthermore, Sentry Mode and Dashcam features use cameras to record potential threats when parked and on the road. In newer models, the cabin camera monitors driver attentiveness to ensure safety during Autopilot use.

View, Access and Calibrate

Tesla now lets you preview all cameras included in your vehicle

Simon

While driving, you can access the rear and fender cameras through the center display. To test or preview other cameras, you can navigate to Controls > Service > Preview Cameras, and then select the camera you'd like to preview at the top of the screen. In addition, through the Tesla app, remote viewing capabilities are available for five of the vehicle's cameras, including the front-facing camera, fender cameras, rear camera, and cabin camera.

If you're noticing issues with your vehicle's cameras, Tesla provides the ability to calibrate them. It's a simple process initiated from the vehicle's touchscreen, although certain features like Autopilot will be unavailable until the process completes.

Confidentiality in Focus: Tesla's Data Privacy Measures

Tesla takes data privacy seriously. For example, the cabin camera doesn't save or transmit data unless data sharing is enabled in your car's settings. For Sentry Mode and Dashcam footage, data is stored locally and can be accessed only by the owner.

Tesla's advanced camera systems play an integral role in enhancing vehicle safety, providing driver-assist features, and creating a robust security layer. However, understanding the function and usage of these cameras is essential for maximizing the benefits. With Tesla continuously innovating, exciting enhancements, like bumper cameras and upgraded hardware, lie on the horizon, promising to take vehicular safety and autonomy to the next level.
