Should Greenwich Be Given Back To The Indians?

The Greenwich Time raises the question, sort of: Should we give Greenwich back to the Indians?

“If Hartford is the seat of Connecticut politics, Greenwich may just well be the throne.

“Home to Richard Blumenthal, Linda McMahon, Ned Lamont, Tom Foley and Jim Himes, the town of 61,101 known for bankrolling candidates is buying domestic in 2010.”

And then too, rising above all these midgets (see below), is the eminence of Lowell Weicker, who springboarded into state politics from Greenwich. Weicker is the father of Connecticut’s income tax. Connecticut’s legislature, controlled by Democrats, will not be kind to Greenwich as the state works its way through a mini depression towards insolvency. The spendthrift Democrats plan to dun the millionaires clustered in Greenwich and elsewhere in golden pockets across the state. Weicker, after he had saddled the state with his income tax, quickly moved out the range of fire – to fair Virginia.

But now he's back.

Richard Blumenthal."

Nice to have all this attention paid to Christ so near to Easter.

Did Chris Murphy Engage in Private Diplomacy?

Murphy after Zarif blowup -- Getty Images Connecticut U.S. Senator Chris Murphy, up for reelection this year, had “a secret meeting with Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif during the Munich Security Conference” in February 2020, according to a posting written by Mollie Hemingway , the Editor-in-Chief of The Federalist. Was Murphy commissioned by proper authorities to participate in the meeting, or was he freelancing? If the former, there is no problem. If the latter, Murphy was courting political disaster. “Such a meeting,” Hemingway wrote at the time, “would mean Murphy had done the type of secret coordination with foreign leaders to potentially undermine the U.S. government that he accused Trump officials of doing as they prepared for Trump’s administration. In February 2017, Murphy demanded investigations of National Security Advisor Mike Flynn because he had a phone call with his counterpart-to-be in Russia. “’Any effort to undermine our nation’s foreign policy – e
