“Overturned. Pardoned. Still Standing.”
“Years ago, my conviction was overturned by a three-judge appellate panel because serious constitutional violations occurred during the prosecution of my case. The court found that exculpatory evidence connected to the deceased individual, including evidence involving a firearm, had been withheld from the defense, and that improper jury instructions regarding intent were given during the trial.
After the appellate court overturned the conviction, the State of Connecticut later granted me a Full and Absolute Pardon, recognizing my rehabilitation and restoring my rights under the law.
That is why it is disgraceful to see political opponents and online trolls continue pushing false narratives and defamatory accusations for political gain. There is a difference between discussing public records and knowingly spreading false statements intended to damage someone’s reputation.
I’ve turned my life into service, mentoring youth, working in the trades, serving my community, and now fighting for the people of CT-5.
The establishment wants voters focused on smears and distractions because they do not want to talk about inflation, crime, open borders, failing schools, or the struggles facing working families across Connecticut.
I’m still standing because the truth matters, redemption matters, and the people of this district are tired of political gatekeepers trying to decide who deserves a voice.”

🔥 FRANCE, YOU CANNOT MOCK GOD AND EXPECT NO CONSEQUENCES! 🔥
“Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.” — Galatians 6:7 (KJV)
The world watched as the 2024 Paris Olympics opening ceremony featured a controversial performance that many Christians believed disrespected their faith.
Now look at the division, unrest, and moral confusion gripping societies across the Western world.
Let me make something perfectly clear:
✝️ JESUS CHRIST IS LORD!
Our Christian faith is not a punchline. Our sacred beliefs are not entertainment for those who wish to ridicule them. And our silence should never be mistaken for surrender.
France has a rich Christian history. Its churches, cathedrals, and centuries of religious heritage helped shape Western civilization.
We should be praying for France, not celebrating its suffering.
A NATION THAT FORGETS ITS SPIRITUAL FOUNDATIONS RISKS LOSING ITS WAY.
This is bigger than France. This is a warning to America and the entire Western world.
We must defend religious liberty, restore respect for our Christian heritage, and never be ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
🙏 PRAY FOR FRANCE. PRAY FOR AMERICA. PRAY FOR OUR CIVILIZATION.
GOD WILL NOT BE MOCKED!

WRITE IN JONATHAN DE BARROS FOR CONGRESS — CT-5!
Abraham Lincoln stood for the preservation of our Union. Frederick Douglass fought for freedom, equality, and the promise of our Constitution.
Their courage reminds us that the future of our Republic depends on Americans willing to stand for what they believe in.
I didn’t enter politics to become part of the establishment. I entered because I believe ordinary Americans deserve a voice, our constitutional freedoms deserve protection, and public servants must answer to the people.
I have faced adversity. I have challenged powerful institutions. And I have refused to surrender my convictions simply because the road became difficult.
My campaign has always been about something bigger than one election.
It’s about faith, family, freedom, accountability, and the next generation of Americans.
On November 3, Connecticut voters will have the opportunity to make their voices heard.
I AM JONATHAN DE BARROS.

No.1 reason for gun control!
What Gun control achieves!
🇺🇸 THE FORGOTTEN HISTORY OF BLACK REPUBLICANS IN AMERICA!
BLACK REPUBLICAN HISTORY IS AMERICAN HISTORY!
The roots of the Black Republican movement reach back to the 19th century, when the Republican Party emerged in 1854 in opposition to the expansion of slavery.
In 1863, Republican President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation. In 1865, the 13th Amendment abolished slavery throughout the United States.
During Reconstruction, Black Americans began exercising political power in unprecedented ways.
🇺🇸 FREDERICK DOUGLASS — The formerly enslaved abolitionist, author, and statesman became a prominent Republican who advocated equal citizenship and voting rights.
🇺🇸 HIRAM REVELS — In 1870, he became the first Black American to serve in the United States Senate, representing Mississippi as a Republican.
🇺🇸 BLANCHE K. BRUCE — In 1875, he became the first Black senator to serve a full six-year term, also representing Mississippi as a Republican.
🇺🇸 BOOKER T. WASHINGTON — The educator and founder of Tuskegee Institute maintained relationships with Republican leaders, including President Theodore Roosevelt, while advocating education and economic advancement.
🇺🇸 HARRIET TUBMAN — Although not primarily known as a Republican political leader, Tubman was a central figure in abolition, the Underground Railroad, and the struggle for freedom.
THE HISTORY DIDN’T END WITH RECONSTRUCTION.
Black Republicans continued participating in American politics through the 20th century, even as Black voting patterns shifted dramatically during the New Deal and civil rights eras.
The modern Black conservative movement includes figures such as Edward Brooke, the first Black senator elected by popular vote, and other leaders who have advanced conservative political ideas.
Black American political history is not the history of one party alone. It includes abolitionists, Republicans, Democrats, independents, civil rights activists, and generations of Americans who challenged discrimination and expanded freedom.
KNOW YOUR HISTORY. STUDY THE FACTS. THINK INDEPENDENTLY.
American history belongs to all of us.

🔥 MY BODY, MY CHOICE… BUT WHAT ABOUT WOMEN UNDER ISLAMIC EXTREMISM?
A woman demands the right to abort her unborn baby in the name of bodily autonomy, yet openly supports Islamic extremist movements that would deny women the freedom to make decisions about their own lives.
How do you reconcile those two positions?
If bodily autonomy is a fundamental human right, shouldn’t that principle also apply to women denied education, employment, freedom of movement, and control over their futures?
Supporting the rights of Muslim Americans is not the same as supporting Islamic extremism. The distinction matters.
Women’s rights shouldn’t stop at the American border, and religious extremism should never get a free pass.

🚨HOW MANY MORE ELECTION LOSSES BEFORE WE QUESTION WHERE THE TAXPAYER MONEY IS GOING?🚨🤷🏾♂️💰💵💸
Connecticut Republicans have lost four consecutive gubernatorial elections: 2010, 2014, 2018, and 2022.
The Citizens’ Election Program (CEP) provides millions in public campaign financing to qualifying candidates from both major parties.
Here’s my question:
If Republicans continue losing statewide elections this November, shouldn’t we have a serious conversation about the effectiveness of taxpayer-funded campaign grants?
Are these public dollars accomplishing their intended purpose? Are taxpayers getting transparency, accountability, and meaningful results?
And should we examine whether the current system is actually helping candidates compete?
I’m not questioning the right of candidates to run. I’m questioning whether the system deserves a closer look after decades of election results.
The CEP was designed to reduce special-interest influence and expand opportunities for candidates. But shouldn’t we regularly evaluate whether it’s achieving those goals?
WHAT DO YOU THINK, CONNECTICUT?
Should the CEP grant program be reevaluated after the November elections?

🚨 OBAMA, WHAT HAPPENED TO FLINT, MICHIGAN? 🚨
While politicians celebrate on campaign stages and ask Americans for their votes, one question still deserves an answer:
WHAT ABOUT THE PEOPLE OF FLINT?
In 2014, Flint residents were exposed to lead-contaminated drinking water. Families suffered, children were put at risk, and public trust was shattered.
The crisis began during Barack Obama’s presidency, under Michigan’s state-appointed emergency management system. Responsibility extended across multiple levels of government.
President Obama visited Flint in 2016, but the question remains:
Why did it take so long for government officials to protect these American families?
Black communities deserve more than campaign speeches, celebrity endorsements, and election-season promises.
They deserve clean drinking water, accountability, and leadership that puts American families FIRST!
FLINT DESERVED BETTER THEN. FLINT DESERVES ACCOUNTABILITY NOW.

🇺🇸 MICHIGAN IS IN THE NATIONAL SPOTLIGHT! MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
Former President Barack Obama is back in Michigan campaigning for Democrats, while Republican candidates are presenting their vision for the state’s future.
John James, Mike Rogers, and other Michigan Republicans are campaigning on issues central to the America First movement: border security, American manufacturing, energy independence, public safety, and constitutional freedoms.
THE QUESTIONS ARE BIGGER THAN PARTY LABELS!
Will Michigan strengthen its manufacturing economy? How will candidates address inflation, crime, education, and the cost of living? What will their policies mean for working families?
Every candidate deserves scrutiny. Every policy deserves debate. And every American deserves the facts.

🚨 FEDERAL JUDGE ORDERS HALT TO NONCITIZEN VOTING INVESTIGATIONS IN NINE STATES!
OCTOBER 23, 2026 — ELECTION NEWS
A federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to temporarily halt investigations into suspected noncitizen voting in nine states, including Connecticut, until polls close on November 3.
⚖️ HERE ARE THE FACTS:
* The order was issued by U.S. District Judge Araceli Martinez-Olguin.
* The judge raised concerns about unreliable voter information and potential intimidation of eligible voters.
* The Department of Homeland Security maintains that its investigations are intended to prevent unlawful voting.
* The administration has an opportunity to appeal the ruling.
THE CENTRAL LEGAL QUESTION:
How should federal authorities investigate suspected noncitizen voting while protecting eligible Americans from improper scrutiny or intimidation?
The ruling does not establish that widespread noncitizen voting occurred.
ELECTION INTEGRITY AND THE PROTECTION OF LAWFUL VOTERS ARE BOTH ESSENTIAL TO OUR CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC.

🚨 140,830 CONNECTICUT VOTERS HAD ALREADY CAST THEIR BALLOTS BEFORE THE LAMONT–FAZIO DEBATE! 🚨
Let that sink in!
Before Governor Ned Lamont and Republican challenger Ryan Fazio faced off on October 22, approximately 140,830 Connecticut voters had already voted!
📊 THE NUMBERS:
* 🔵 62,555 registered Democrats voted early
* 🔴 18,766 registered Republicans voted early
* 🟣 30,217 unaffiliated voters voted early
* ⚪ 1,439 voters from other parties voted early
These party-registration figures represent in-person early voters, not the additional 27,853 returned absentee ballots.
HERE’S THE BIG QUESTION:
How many Connecticut voters cast their ballots BEFORE hearing the candidates debate the issues affecting their families?
High electricity bills. Property taxes. The cost of living. Connecticut’s economic future.
The October 22 debate gave voters an opportunity to compare the candidates directly — but more than 140,000 ballots had already been cast.
Early voting is changing the political landscape, and Connecticut voters need to understand just how significant that is.
The numbers tell a story. The question is whether we’re paying attention.

CONNECTICUT — HAVE WE LEARNED NOTHING FROM BRIDGEPORT?
Remember Bridgeport?
In 2024, FOUR individuals were arrested in connection with an absentee ballot investigation following the city’s controversial 2023 Democratic mayoral primary.
The absentee ballot controversy was serious enough that a judge ordered a new primary!
Now fast-forward to October 2026.
📬 27,853 absentee ballots had already been returned statewide before Governor Ned Lamont and Ryan Fazio faced off in their October 22 debate!
Let that number sink in.
I’m not suggesting those 27,853 ballots were fraudulent. But Bridgeport demonstrated exactly why transparency, accountability, and election integrity matter.
THE QUESTIONS CONNECTICUT VOTERS DESERVE ANSWERED:
❓ Are absentee ballot safeguards being consistently enforced?
❓ Are allegations of ballot misconduct being thoroughly investigated?
❓ What lessons were learned from Bridgeport?
❓ How can voters be confident that every lawful ballot is counted accurately?
ELECTION INTEGRITY IS NOT A REPUBLICAN ISSUE OR A DEMOCRAT ISSUE. IT IS AN AMERICAN ISSUE!
Every legitimate vote deserves to be counted, and every Connecticut voter deserves confidence in the process.
REMEMBER BRIDGEPORT. DEMAND TRANSPARENCY. PROTECT THE VOTE.

After witnessing firsthand the political transformation of Connecticut and much of New England, I understand why the future of Texas matters so much to the future of our Constitutional Republic.
I have serious concerns about the expansion of Democratic Socialism, the threat of violent Islamic extremism, and any political ideology that undermines our constitutional freedoms, religious liberty, and American sovereignty.
As a Christian, a constitutional conservative, and a proud American, I look forward to becoming more involved in the great State of Texas, standing alongside those who believe in defending our Constitution, protecting our Christian communities, preserving our God-given liberties, and ensuring that future generations inherit a free Republic.
Religious freedom must be protected for every law-abiding American, and violent extremism must never be tolerated, regardless of its source.
I have seen what happens when citizens become politically complacent. My experience in Connecticut has only strengthened my determination to remain engaged in the fight for constitutional government and accountable leadership.
I believe Texas represents an important part of America’s constitutional heritage, and I refuse to take its future for granted.
This is bigger than political parties. It is about the Constitution, our children, our communities, our faith, and the preservation of the American Republic.

IS AMERICA’S MINORITY-PARTY REPRESENTATION SYSTEM BEING USED TO CONTROL BOTH SIDES OF CITY GOVERNMENT?
Let me explain something about how politics works in cities across America that many voters may not understand.
In many municipalities, election rules are designed to prevent one political party from controlling every seat. District-based elections, at-large seats, party-balance requirements, and minority-party protections are intended to preserve competition and create checks and balances.
But here’s the question: What happens when the political establishment finds ways to influence BOTH sides of that system?
In cities where one party dominates local elections, the minority party may hold only a limited number of seats. That makes those positions especially important. They are supposed to provide independent oversight of budgets, borrowing, contracts, ordinances, development deals, public spending, and the financial direction of city government.
There have been public allegations in some American cities that political organizations have recruited, supported, or strategically aligned with candidates running under the opposing party’s label.
If candidates change party affiliations, accept support from the opposing political establishment, or use a minority-party line primarily to gain access to office, voters have a right to ask whether they are receiving genuine independent representation.
When the majority party can influence members of the minority party, who is providing independent oversight of taxpayers’ money?
This is where labels such as RINO — Republican In Name Only — or their equivalents enter the political conversation.
The issue is not simply that one elected official disagrees with members of their own party. Political parties are not supposed to function as voting machines. The deeper concern is whether elected officials are accountable to the voters who elected them—or to the political organizations, donors, consultants, and power brokers who helped place them in office.
This raises a larger question about city politics across America.
Are voters witnessing genuine competition between political parties with different governing philosophies? Or are competing factions of the same political establishment fighting over public offices, taxpayer dollars, contracts, development decisions, and political influence?
Party registration alone cannot answer that question. Voters should examine:
• Voting records
• Campaign financing
• Endorsements and political alliances
• Donor networks
• Conflicts of interest
• Public contracts and development agreements
• Decisions involving taxpayer money
• Whether campaign promises match governing behavior
A candidate’s party label is not proof of independence. A minority-party seat is not meaningful oversight if the person holding it is controlled by the same establishment that dominates the majority.
Americans in every city deserve transparency about who their elected officials represent, regardless of the letter next to their names.
Because a two-party system means very little if both sides answer to the same political network.
FOLLOW THE MONEY. EXAMINE THE VOTING RECORDS. QUESTION THE POLITICAL ALLIANCES.

🚨🔥Connecticut's Two-Party Illusion: Two Democrat Factions, One Political Establishment🔥🚨
Let me explain something about how politics works in the City of Waterbury, Connecticut, that many voters may not understand.
Under Waterbury’s City Charter, the Board of Aldermen consists of 15 members representing five districts, with three aldermen per district. No more than two members from each district can belong to the same political party.
Because Democrats dominate Waterbury’s municipal elections, the result is generally 10 Democrats and five Republicans serving on the Board of Aldermen.
The purpose of minority-party representation is to prevent one political party from controlling every seat and to preserve a system of checks and balances.
But here’s the question: What happens when the political establishment finds ways to influence BOTH sides of that system?
There have been public allegations in Waterbury that Democratic political interests have recruited or supported Republican-registered candidates for aldermanic seats.
If politicians are changing their party affiliations or receiving support from the opposing political establishment simply to gain access to minority-party seats, that raises serious questions about whether voters are receiving the independent representation they were promised.
Remember, the Board of Aldermen makes critical decisions involving city budgets, bonding, expenditures, ordinances, and the financial direction of Waterbury.
When the majority party can influence members of the minority party, who is providing independent oversight of taxpayers’ money?
This is where the term RINO — Republican In Name Only — enters the political conversation.
The accusation isn’t simply that a Republican disagrees with another Republican. The deeper concern is whether some elected officials are more accountable to the political establishment than to the voters who elected them.
And this raises a much bigger question about Connecticut politics.
Are we witnessing genuine competition between two political parties with different governing philosophies? Or are competing factions of the same political establishment fighting over control of public offices, taxpayer dollars, and political influence?
Party registration alone cannot answer that question. Voting records, campaign financing, political alliances, and decisions involving public money deserve scrutiny.
Connecticut voters deserve transparency about who their elected officials represent, regardless of the letter next to their names.
Because a two-party system means very little if there is no meaningful independence between the people exercising political power.
