In a review of 2025, let us look at a history of governance and leadership by our best and brightest elected officials, all of whom are Democrats, or were hired by a Democrat.

• January 1, 2025: The New Orleans Bourbon Street massacre unfolded tragically. Police Chief Anne Kirkpatrick was completely blindsided, unaware of the barriers that should have been in place. This incompetence allowed a truck to plow through the crowd, resulting in fifteen deaths and ISIS flags being waved. The city council demanded her resignation, but Kilpatrick did not care. She even admitted that she was unaware that the barriers even existed. And she continues in her ostensible non-job of police employment to this day.

• January 8, 2025: Los Angeles wildfires raged out of control. Mayor Karen Bass fumbled the response with botched evacuations and delayed aid as she jetted off to Africa. Elon Musk tweeted to millions calling her "utterly incompetent." Homes turned to ash and lives were scorched, while Bass dodged questions and blamed the wind. A negligence lawsuit is now on the horizon. And she continues as Mayor to this day as virtually no damaged homes have been rebuilt in the region.

• August 20, 2025: Rhode Island's "Drunk AG Girl" incident caused a major meltdown. The Assistant Attorney General (Connecticut Native Devon Flannagan Hogan),while heavily intoxicated, trespassed at a fancy restaurant. She berated police officers on Nationally seen body cam footage in a horrific spectacle, demanding, "Do you know who I am?" Despite a zero-tolerance policy, she was only placed on leave and was given an ostensible break by her work colleagues in her sentencing.

• November 29, 2025: Governor Tim Walz's Somali fraud fiasco erupted in Minnesota. Billions in Medicaid funds were swindled under his clueless and hopeless watch, with half potentially fraudulent. Somali refugee programs were implicated in laundering cash. Donald Trump blasted the state as a "fraud hub." Walz downplayed the issue, leaving taxpayers to bear the financial burden. Great public outcry is also leveled at Minnesota Congresswoman Ilian Omar, who continues to smile, take no responsibility for the scandal and somehow attributes this financial and governance rape to Donald Trump.

• December 13, 2025: A Brown University shooting of multiple studying students turned into a nightmare. A gunman went on the loose, with suspected links to other institutions. Security measures failed colossally, and the manhunt was botched. Inane and embarrassing press conferences featuring leaders of questionable qualifications and blatant agendas droned on for days spewing politico-babble as the good people of Providence walked in fear. At last count, all people who participated in this farce remain employed leaving the same good people of Providence and all of Brown University under daily jeopardy.

(Note: “Drunk Girl” Devon Flanagan worked under Peter Neronha, the Attorney General of the State of Rhode Island. With the suspected shooter found dead this past Tuesday, the good people of Providence are now breathing a sigh of relief )

• December 10, 2025: Waterbury, Connecticut faced a second, larger water main break leaving 60,000 residents without water for days. Healthcare facilities and schools were crippled by the outage.  Waterbury's decrepit infrastructure finally crumbled under neglect, leading to finger-pointing among officials. Residents described the situation as "horrible," with restoration efforts moving slowly amid escalating blame.

Of course, if you are a skillful Democrat incompetent, you must be very skillful in deflecting your personal responsibility towards any disaster that you, yourself, are responsible for. Waterbury is no exception: “Working together, there is nothing we cannot achieve. Waterbury's best days are ahead of us.” — Democrat Mayor Paul K. Pernerewski, Jr., 47th Mayor of the City of Waterbury.

However, clean water may not be one of those areas that Waterbury can achieve.

“The catastrophic failure of a high-pressure line in Waterbury’s aging water system left Connecticut’s fifth-largest city, and most of two suburbs—Wolcott and Watertown—without water Saturday, forcing a scramble to keep two hospitals open and bring in water by tankers and truckloads of bottles.

City officials said an earlier failure of a 10-inch water line installed in 1901 undermined a 42-inch, 55-year-old transmission main that burst with explosive force late Friday night on Thomaston Avenue by Waterville Park, launching pavement into the air and shattering windows.”

Needless to say, the public water situation in Waterbury will continue to be precarious, at best. You cannot drink the water, nor would most people want to bathe in it. One may also question why a Democrat-run city’s infrastructure for something as critical as water is still relying on a 124-year-old pipe along with a 55-year-old transmission line to supply the city. Of course, no previous Democrats in Waterbury over the past 20 years have ever been proactive about this situation as well. And ostensibly, Waterbury pays employees quite well via tax dollars that are charged with the responsibility of the city water system. Waterbury’s annual budget exceeds $446 million. A closer look shows that employee benefits, including pensions and health insurance, total over $114 million. Pensions and retiree health benefits alone account for more than $86 million. Combined, these costs exceed $200 million annually—almost 45% of the city’s total budget.

The city also receives substantial aid from the State of Connecticut. Waterbury is a Connecticut example of a cash faucet city with no results and incompetence in governing, even though officials claim they are attempting to upgrade the water system. In private business, this type of crisis would not be tolerated and those responsible would be fired, but in government it has somehow become expected and the persons responsible never are removed.

And then we move to Providence and Brown University. Providence, Rhode Island will forever be enshrined in the Hall-of-Fame of political incompetency in its obtuse and fumbling efforts to locate a criminal who killed two students and wounded nine others at Brown University. What went on with Brown truly boggles the mind. A gunman just walks in to set up a killing machine. Security reportedly became lax, with camera monitors turned off, non-functioning or otherwise nonexistent in addition to other security failures. As a result, innocent students studying in a classroom were murdered in cold blood. And many students and their parents are now counting the cost of their woke ideologies and their hatred of police and law and order. For they are now learning a bitter and costly lesson. Neither incompetence, nor being woke, stops a bullet.

Police have been defunded in many parts of the country, while crime, contrary to false statistics presented in places such as Washington, D.C., continues to rise. Consider the daily antisemitic attacks occurring in Democrat-controlled New York City. For what reason? Have we become a lawless society? In many cities and states, it increasingly appears to be so. And what will the cost of this lawlessness be? How will those of a liberal mindset feel about being victimized and attacked? For they too will find out that neither incompetence, nor being woke, can ever stop a bullet.

One must also ask what would happen if a prominent Democrat became the victim of a crime, particularly at the hands of a repeat offender. How quickly would the narrative change? Or would President Trump somehow be blamed—as he seemingly is for everything since the nation’s founding? Regardless, they too as well, will find out that neither incompetence, nor being woke, stops a bullet.

Sadly, political incompetence takes many forms not necessarily dealing with immediate attacks of hostile violence. There is a form of incompetence which is much more subtle (and far more devastating) than any one incident. It is the destruction of an entire state economy leading to confirmation of its defeat as a welfare state. In that connection, Governor Ned Lamont of Connecticut has now officially given his state the economic last rites by condemning it to perpetual beggar-welfare status as other states are aggressively availing themselves and using the incredible economic provisions of the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” to create economic opportunity and to empower its citizens.  Lamont and his ilk and minions never seem to ask themselves why their states have so many poor and so many needing help and never try to fix things. They simply hand out more of your tax money and blame Donald Trump more frequently.  

My friend and colleague Tony De Angelo did a terrific job on his December 18 THIRTY WITH TONY show describing this very subject. It is a sad situation, and in my opinion Republicans do a very poor job in not making this critical point clear and evident for all.

Accountability is in short supply today. Competence is even more scarce. Too many people shrug and look the other way when crimes are committed, whether shoplifting that raises costs for consumers or cold-blooded murder that wastes innocent lives while offering little justice for victims. Even more are silent at gross acts of political malfeasance to where Republicans, especially in Connecticut, never complain about Democrat incompetence such as the economic destruction of the state. Many Americans have had enough of the incompetence of government—elected officials, un-elected officials, and a legal system that often protects criminals over victims—along with the endless nonsensical fixation on President Trump.

Incompetence in governing has become the norm in our country. It must end, or we risk ceasing to be a country at all.
