Who are you going to believe, Gov. Maura Healey or your lying eyes and ears?

Perhaps you’ve noticed – monthly, in your skyrocketing utility bills – that Massachusetts wholesale natural gas prices are 239% of the national average.

Or that our average electricity rates here are 72% higher than in the other 49 states, maybe because 80% of our electricity comes from that prohibitively expensive natural gas.

Whose fault is this economic catastrophe? Could these ruinous costs have anything to do with the fact that we don’t have nearly enough natural-gas pipelines?

Let’s go straight to the audio. This is then Attorney General Maura Healey on National Panhandler Radio on April 27, 2022, bragging about her role in the impending disaster. All dialogue guaranteed verbatim:

“I stopped two natural gas pipelines from coming into this state, remember?… I also went to the Supreme Judicial Court to make sure those obsolete, soon-to-be-obsolete pipeline infrastructure wasn’t going to be built here on the backs of the ratepayers.”

Thanks, Maura.

But that was then and this is now. Her new gag is blaming you-know-who for her own self-created devastation of Massachusetts taxpayers.

She now demands that President Trump bail her out by sending millions more in handouts, after bragging in 2022 how she had, you’ll pardon the expression, licked the problem.

When asked Wednesday if she bore any of the blame for these ruinous utility bills thanks to her own proud, admitted stopping of two new pipelines, this is what Healey said.

Again, all dialogue guaranteed verbatim:

“We — first of all I didn’t do that.”

So, we are left with a very simple question.

Was Maura Healey lying on April 27, 2022, when she bragged about stopping new pipelines?

Or was she lying Nov. 19, 2025, when she denied doing exactly what she bragged about doing in 2022?

Regime-controlled media in Boston are giving this flip-flop a good leaving-alone, because it reflects so badly on The Party, not just the crackpot public policy, but also on Healey’s breathtaking lies about what she did or didn’t do.

To lie that brazenly, with the contrary evidence so clear, she must be very afraid, even in a one-party state with no visible GOP opposition left.

I’ve been asking my radio listeners to text me about their crushing utility bills.

From 508 area code: “Last year my gas budget plan was $115 for 11 months. This year it’s $210 for 11 months.”

From 978: “I used to pay around $260 a month. Now it’s $480, electricity only.”

From Craig: “Last August I paid National Grid $847. For one month.”

What is Healey’s solution, other than lying about whose fault this largely is?

She now demands that the companies she has starved of new supplies “slash” unnecessary charges. She offers a $50 rebate – “crumbs,” as Nancy Pelosi would say.

Let’s go back to her 2022 bragging on WBUR, a 24/7 source of Democrat agitprop, back when she was running for governor. She couldn’t stop talking about what she’d done to the evil utility companies.

“I think I’ve shown my willingness to stand up to the fossil-fuel industry and also to oppose new gas infrastructure in this state. We absolutely need to do that as we move — as we say we say we gotta rev up renewables.”

Rev up renewables indeed. You mean, renewables like the wind turbine blade in Plymouth that collapsed into a cranberry bog two weeks ago?

Or the Vineyard Wind turbine that tumbled into the Atlantic Ocean last year and all the fiberglass and foam debris washed up onto the beaches of Nantucket at the height of the summer tourist season?

Is that the type of renewable energy you’re talking about, Maura?

The Fiscal Alliance Foundation recently issued a report about the cost of this climate-cult nonsense to state ratepayers — $4.4 billion a year.

These scams include such very, very important initiatives as the Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS), the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) and, my favorite, Mass Saves, also known as Mass Steals.

Mass Steals was the vehicle by which two Stoneham cops named Ponzo stole $43 million, supposedly for their “conservation” work.

Maura Healey was the attorney general for most of the Ponzo crime wave. She didn’t see a thing. As a sleuth, Maura makes Inspector Clouseau look like Sherlock Holmes.

Democrats just shovel money at these green grifters, and the grifters kick back, with campaign contributions. It’s all legal, which is the problem. It was the same thing on the national level when Dementia Joe Biden’s caregivers were trying to wreck the economy.

After they were rejected at the polls, Democrats funneled $20 billion to the same kind of con men and Democrat bundlers who are driving Massachusetts ratepayers to the poorhouse.

Remember “Gov.” Stacey Abrams of Georgia. In the Biden lame duck period, two of her “non-profits” got $2 billion in handouts. At the time, Sen. John Kennedy said, Abrams’ start-ups had “only 100 bucks in the bank.”

If you only have $100, no bank is giving you two grand, let alone $2 billion. EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin compared the Democrats’ insane green spending on green boondoggles to “tossing gold bars off the Titanic.”

The Biden-era insanity has been halted at the federal level, but Maura Healey just keeps dragging the gold bars up onto the deck of the SS Taxachusetts. She and her crew of greed-crazed gals just can’t help themselves.

But she never thought any of this would come back to haunt her. Maura dreamed she’d be in Washington by now as the first-ever-openly-lesbian AG after being the first-ever-openly blah blah blah.

Identity politics uber alles. Whoever could speak out against her? How dare you say anything about LaMar Cook, Plaza Gate, the $4 billion foreign freeloader flophouse fiasco, appointing her elderly ex-gal pal to the SJC etc. etc.

You must be homophobic.

She sues Trump over and over, and now goes begging to him. Please, pretty please, Mr. President, I made a little boo-boo here….

As another of my listeners texted:

“This is the Democrat m.o. They break it, then demand you vote for them to fix it.”

How’s this one-party state working out for you?
