Maine’s shameless Democrat Governor, Janet Mills – and her uncontrollable party – act like they own Maine, are a “force unto themselves,” entitled, unstoppable, unaccountable to anyone. They inflict increasing pain on average Mainers, taking us into a new kind of darkness, personal insecurity, fear among kids and seniors, intolerably high property, sales, and income taxes, health care crisis, infrastructure collapse, and educational outcomes in freefall. They are cocky for The Wrong.
Democrats in “blue states” – led by shockingly cobalt Maine, once a peaceful, safe, hardworking, low-tax, highly affordable, and educated, personally conservative state – have concluded this is the time to seize power irreversibly, turn Maine into California, and make it a model for dystopia.
What do I mean? Flying their anti-Trump flags high, Democrats push lawlessness and protests, attempt to disenfranchise half the voters, undermine law enforcement with overregulation and underfunding, soft-pedal felonies, block mandatory minimum sentences for major drug traffickers, attempt to legalize voting by illegal aliens, end bail, and perpetuate drug addiction with weak, ineffective, non-responsive programs that keep addictions alive, rather than ending this horror.
They have ignored, punished and mocked whistleblowers – pointing out clear, egregious Democrat corruption – in many Maine agencies, from DFAS (Department of Administrative and Financial Services) and DHHS (Health and Human Services) to the politically-obsessed Attorney General’s Office, from the Center for Disease Control and corrupt, unprotecting Child and Family Services to the Comptroller’s Office, Corrections and Democrat non-profit formation to push MaineCare for illegals (while registering voters) to Economic and Community Development, Governor’s Office of Energy (up by 1000 percent), to the DEP (Department of Environmental Protection), replacing merit hires with DEI and Democrat favoritism in agencies from Forestry to Education. Dead wrong.
Even now, with the writing on the wall – the highest property taxes in America, effectively kicking older Mainers out of homes owned for generations and assuring young Mainers never buy a home, they keep pushing the falsehood that things are better., They are not.
Maine has schools ranked by one survey 50 of 50, another 41 of 50 – yet once first in the country. Seventy percent of our 4th graders cannot read or read at the level they should, while nearly that percentage of 8th graders cannot do basic, simple math. How do they prosper in life without reading or math?
Another credible, national survey just listed Maine worst in the nation – dead last – for infrastructure – bridges, roads, energy production, transmission lines, transformers all past their lifetimes, in desperate need of repair, yet left largely unattended by a Governor and her top staff – including two Democrat candidates for governor – who raised the budget and taxes by more than 60 percent in six years, but somehow did nothing to end Maine’s infrastructure death spiral. Cocky for The Wrong.
Then take this pending voter ID measure, a clear effort by concerned Mainers to get integrity back into the voting process, battered by proven allegations of double voter cards, illegals with driver’s licenses and permits, and a Democrat push to import tens of thousands of illegal aliens, increasingly involved in drug crime, violent and property crimes, and fatal traffic accidents.
The Democrat reigning governor, her indifferent attorney general, appointed Democrat judges– including majority activists on Maine’s Supreme Court – just let the cabal’s secretary of state dirty up the 2026 referendum, which aimed to assure Maine gets an ID law, making it now unclear.
That referendum is intended to make the Maine voting process more honest, less prone to fraud, yet the very process of trying to correct potential fraud has been fraudulently interfered with by the shameless Mills Mafia, including the two Democrat contenders to follow her, Bellows and Pingree.
If all this were not snake pit enough, a sure sign that Maine is in dangerous waters, corruption everywhere, more shark infested than waters off Harpswell, Popham, Old Orchard, or Scarborough, the kicker is Mills gloats, cocky for The Wrong.
But here is a spoiler alert: what these cocky, left-lurching Democrats never get, people feel the pain they inflict. People connect the dots. They see who caused it – and when cocky hits the ground, it makes a sound; when arrogance is called on the carpet, bad leaders are swept out, everything changes. In Maine, that day is coming.
