Maura Healey Having a Mass. Gas Attack and Seems to Have Wiped Her Two Memory Chips
| October 02, 2026

Never underestimate the power of a progressive to reverse direction at the drop of a hat, and, even more impressively, insist that 'to the rear' was where they had been going the entire time.

The propensity for convenient, complete, and shameless amnesia is one of the Democratic progressive/socialist political breed's most maddening characteristics.

All it takes is them asserting a thing is so, and voila - years of evidence and battles to the contrary are gone, just like that.

They never existed.

This is what is happening in that bastion of Leftist lunacy, Massachusetts, right now.

The state's risible, AWFL governor Maura Healey, a dyed-in-the-green grifting wool climate cultist to her very bones, is finding herself in a position she's not been in before - up against a pretty aggressive and increasingly popular Republican challenger for the governor's chair.

Democratic Gov. Maura Healey remains favored for reelection in the November general election, but not as comfortably as in past surveys as Republican gubernatorial candidate Mike Minogue closes the gap, according to the latest poll of Massachusetts voters.

The UNH Survey Center poll, released Thursday, recorded 54% of respondents indicating they would vote to re-elect Healey in November, compared to 38% in favor of Minogue. That marks a six-point jump for Minogue over the 32% he acquired in August, while Healey remained at steady 54%. The remaining 8% of respondents were either neutral or unsure.

She seems to have lost some of that know-it-all AWFL luster.

The poll also recorded what it describes as a “so-so” approval rating for Healey, who has struggled in numerous polls to record an approval rating above 60% in a matter of months.

...In this latest survey, Healey came out with just a 52% approval rating compared to a whopping 47% disapproval rating.

...When looking at the 47% of respondents who disapprove of Healey’s performance, 29% said they “strongly disapprove,” 9% said they “somewhat disapprove,” and another 9% “lean towards disapproving.”
Part of what has her disapproval rating in the toilet is the cost of living in Massachusetts. This 'affordability' issue is something that Healey is directly responsible for thanks to her cultish devotion to being anti-fossil fuels and selling her state's residents' energy security out to the renewable energy lobby.

MA electricity rates are 70-80% higher than the national average, and much of that cost is driven by the natural gas that keeps the power plants New England does have operational and working.

MA is especially vulnerable to fluctuations in natgas prices because Gov Healey has restricted any new pipelines being built...

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.
How are they going to get a pipeline to do any good when New York has banned them, effectively cutting New England off from the Marcellus and Utica natural gas fields?

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Obviously, that is not Hochul's fault.  It is Trump's fault.
