To the best of my knowledge, Christian values, regardless of any denomination, do not include being unfaithful to one’s wife, do not include being a dishonest businessman, do not include being selfish and not respecting thy neighbor. They include being kind, selfless and generous to the community. That’s why I don’t understand how Christians support […]

Joe Voisine: Beware of Bidenomics
With all the technology at our doorsteps, one would think that life would be easier. Well, it’s just the opposite. Our politicians have failed us. Porous borders, asylum seekers, drug addicts, homelessness, to name a few. Limiting career politicians — including judges — to no more than a four-year term would be a good start. […]
Mary Ann Norcross: Harmon cares about Auburn and its residents
The first time I saw Jeff Harmon was at a sign-the-petition drive to Protect Lake Auburn at the Subaru building on Center Street in Auburn. Jeff calmly explained the petition and answered questions that citizens asked. The next time I saw Jeff, he was speaking at a City Council meeting. Again I saw he was […]
Rudolph Ziehm: Trump is Putin’s ‘greatest American fan’
Guess who wants to cut aid to Ukraine? Why, it’s Vladimir Putin’s greatest American fan, our own former president, Donald J. Trump. What a shock. I mean, just because he asked Russia for help to get elected, called Vlad a genius, refused his own intelligence about North Korea’s nuclear testing, and said he didn’t see […]
Paul Baribault: Christians should think hard about supporting Trump
I often pass by a house that has statues of Joseph and Mary on the front steps, a depiction of the nativity in their living room window — and a prominent Trump 2024 sticker on the back window of their vehicle. The correspondence of the visuals makes me wonder if these fellow Christians experience the […]
In rebuttal: William LaRochelle: Don’t lump Trump and Biden together
“Donald Trump and Joe Biden are reflections of what is wrong in contemporary culture,” Cal Thomas stated in a recent column (“Shame on us for electing bad leaders,” Aug. 2). But lumping Trump and Biden together as twin deplorables is one whale of an assertion. Let me see: Last time I looked, Biden wasn’t a […]
David Peck: Where are the tears?
A July 19 article in the Sun Journal reporting on the signing, by Gov. Janet Mills, of the recently passed expanded abortion rights legislation featured a photograph of smiling pro-choice supporters, obviously pleased with their victory. Where are the tears? It appears pro-choice advocates have but two expressions: either smiling in delight when abortion rights […]
Nathan Wadsworth: Maine must expand broadband infrastructure for all residents
Expanding broadband infrastructure is a critical initiative for ensuring that all Maine residents have access to the online resources that allow them to live prosperously. We are fortunate to have federal and state funding aimed at this initiative, but to make this goal a reality our state must prioritize broadband funding for projects in areas […]
Tim and Karen Simpson: Harmon is the positive change Auburn needs
Jeff Harmon as mayor of Auburn would bring positive changes to Auburn. He would bring commitment, transparency and honesty, and respect everyone as Auburn’s mayor. He is intelligent, listens to people, and focuses on bringing people together to find the best solutions to today’s challenging problems. Jeff is committed to meeting as many people as […]
Carole Richards: Media gives Trump too much airtime
Once again we see day after day the media promoting their guy, the twice-impeached former president Donald Trump. Every day in the news they televise the projectile nonsense coming out of his mouth; we hear the lies and his whiny denial of not doing anything wrong. A narcissistic personality dies a slow death if attention […]
