In response to my letter of Nov. 6, Ellen Field wrote a letter on Nov. 10 containing errors and misconceptions. She manufactured the term “wonderful” businessman, which I did not use for President Trump. She cited many failed business entities with Trump’s name. Business people make these trials. Informed people know that Trump has successful […]

Recently, I was watching television and heard that Congressman Adam Schiff will not allow any of the Republican choices to testify. Last I heard, if impeachment is legitimate, both sides have to be heard. I am wondering, at this point, if anyone else is noticing that? If Schiff thinks it’s a sham or not, they […]

It is good to see our tax dollars for bond issues work. What a beautiful job workers are doing on the Bernard Lown Peace Bridge in New Auburn. It is absolutely beautiful and clean. Good job. Keep it up. Connie Lessard, Auburn

What is President Trump hiding? It began before the 2016 election. Candidate Trump said he was willing to release his tax returns, as predecessors had done since the 1960s. Then he claimed IRS audits mandated secrecy.  The IRS said taxpayers under audit may release their own returns. Now Trump is fighting tooth and nail in […]

During the recent legislative session, Maine lawmakers passed a bill (LD 1104), with bipartisan support, that will guarantee that retired public school teachers and state employees receive their full benefits.

Possessed, he claims, of “a very, very large brain,” President Trump is “like, really smart” — a genius, in fact, gifted with “great and unmatched wisdom.” He is “the greatest president God ever created,” he once announced. People came out and voted for him “like they’ve never seen before,” and his inauguration was “the biggest […]

In response to Thomas Shields’ letter (Nov. 6) praising Donald Trump’s abilities as a wonderful businessman, I would like to mention that Trump Airlines failed, as did Trump Beverages, Trump Mortgage Company, Trump Steaks and Trump’s travel site “Go Trump.com.” Trump Tower Tampa went to bankruptcy court, Trump Vodka went out of business by 2011, […]

With the Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives seemingly committed to bring impeachment proceedings against President Trump, it seems as though the rest of the country hasn’t even noticed. Profits and middle-class wages are still rising; and unemployment rates are near historic lows — there are more jobs out there than there are qualified […]

President Donald Trump and his White House cronies reached a new low recently with their absolutely discouraging comments about Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman. Col. Vindman is a decorated war hero, awarded the Purple Heart. He is still carrying shrapnel in his body that he received protecting our democracy in Iraq. As usual, Trump has called […]
