People need to stop listening to their ideological talking heads on television and seriously look at the facts regarding what is happening with President Trump’s impeachment. The Republican talking points — calling the process unconstitutional and a brazen attempt to overturn the results of the 2016 election — are already factually weak, but they are […]

Rich Lowry: Mitch McConnell is the master of the Senate
Every hostile nickname that Mitch McConnell gets is further confirmation of his effectiveness. The latest is “Midnight Mitch,” a reaction to his resolution setting out the road map for the Senate impeachment trial. The measure stipulated that House impeachment managers could make their case over two days of 12-hour sessions, possibly pushing the presentations into […]
Donald Dubuc: Acts of cowardice revealed
My applause goes out to residents of the town of Sabattus, who had the intestinal fortitude to let Michelle Malkin speak at their town hall. So many people wanted to hear what she had to say that the town hall had to turn away some of the crowd. The Franco Heritage Center and Martindale Country […]
Mary Jane Newell: Liberals’ childish actions
I recently read that conservative talk show host Michelle Malkin came to Maine to speak and three venues canceled on her, due to protestors, before she finally found a welcoming crowd in Sabattus. I am appalled that Maine citizens are acting like that. That is what communist countries do — they refuse to listen to […]
Sheila Leavitt: The reality of Michelle Malkin
This is what I would like to say to the roomful of “red-blooded Americans” (Sun Journal article, Jan. 18) which erupted in sustained applause upon the entrance of Michelle Malkin (thus perhaps giving some clue that they might have been a hand-picked and friendly crew). People of Sabattus should know that those folks swarming and […]
Clem Bechard: Did President Trump break the law?
I am afraid I have been wrong all along. The president of the United States did break a huge law. Everyone should have seen this a long time ago. As a matter of fact, this law was broken way back in 2016. It happened right in front of our eyes. The big law the president […]
Gabrielle DeMoras: Coping with Puerto Rico earthquakes
Concerning the earthquakes in Puerto Rico — retired U.S. Navy ships should be refurbished as hotels for the stranded people whose lives are at risk. Ships on the ocean would be better than tent cities that leave people exposed to the elements. That is no way to live normal lives. People seeking to live along […]
Thomas Dean: Auburn should explore the possibilities
The article on sports tourism (Jan. 16) was a great highlight of exciting things going on with sports in the area. I coach softball at the Ingersoll Arena Turf Facility, where we have 210-plus girls playing softball on Saturday afternoons this winter, which is awesome. One season, girls were from 17 different towns from as […]
Thomas Standard: Claims are impossible to verify
It is disappointing to see such a misleading article as “Fever chart: 2010 marked as hottest decade on record” (Jan. 16). Such a claim is ridiculous and not reasonably supported by the information claimed by the article. The article claims “records” have been maintained for 140 years. It also claims that the average temperature of […]
Patrick Eisenhart: Promises made, promises broken
Whatever happened to Sen. Susan Collins’ campaign promise to stay in office for no more than two terms? I guess it is, once again, politician promises made — promises broken. Patrick Eisenhart, Lewiston
