In rebuttal: Rudolph Ziehm: Biden has accomplished more than Trump
I’m responding to Tom Hart (“Biden is ruining America, bring back Trump,” March 15). He should remember that when Donald Trump left office things were not so great. Mostly due to his lies, mishandling and, in my opinion, being the biggest spreader of the virus we know of. President Biden did what? Lowered drug prices, […]

Stephen Austin: Rep. Libby fights for liberty in Maine
I recently heard Rep. Laurel Libby say that before she got involved in grassroots advocacy she thought she was doing her patriotic duty by just voting. That is my story as well. I stayed away from political action. I was too busy with other important things: work, family and life in general. I now know […]

Clarence Page: Immigration is on Americans’ minds. And politicians are seizing the opportunity

Rich Lowry: No, undocumented immigrants didn’t build America
It’s true that illegal immigrants overwhelmingly work once they get here; it’s why they come in the first place, after all. But the idea that a fraction of all immigrants, whose numbers have only drastically increased in the past couple of decades, “built the country” is a ridiculous fabrication and a profound insult to American workers, past and present.

Cal Thomas: Red lines or victory?
This business about “red lines” seems to be limited in its application to Israel and its supposed “ally,” the United States. Each time Israel is attacked the U.S. initially supports the Jewish state, but if the conflict is prolonged, that support weakens as the media and other nations pressure Israel to stop short of victory, thus ensuring the inevitability of more wars.

Jeffrey Adams: Maine workers deserve minimum wage increase
Last year the Legislature voted to raise the minimum wage in Maine, but Mainers are still waiting for that raise. Growing up with a single mom who struggled to make ends meet, I saw up close and personal the harmful impacts of low wages and income inequality. Those impacts pass from one generation to the […]
