Marc Thiessen’s column (Sun Journal, July 19) notes that USMCA (United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement or NAFTA.2) will bring auto jobs back to America. The column states the agreement includes provisions that “requires between 40% and 45%  of each vehicle be produced by workers earning a minimum of $16 per hour,” including the right to strike; “the […]

The outcry of the socialist liberal and the media like CNN, MSNBC are out of control. The rising hatred and blaming the president for the shooting is crazy. Mental illness is a big problem in America, not guns. The socialist, far-left liberals, like all the congresswomen and men like Cory Booker and Bernie Sanders calling […]

On behalf of many of Maine sheriffs, police chiefs and prosecutors, I would like to send kudos to Senators Susan Collins and Angus King following their recent announcement that Franklin, Oxford and Cumberland Counties will receive $9 million in Head Start funding. As a member of Fight Crime: Invest in Kids, I know this funding […]

This letter is in response to Carolyn Davis’ letter Aug. 6, 2019. President Trump is not the one that wants to divide this country. It is the radical left that is trying to destroy this country. It has been a known fact for many years that Baltimore has been plagued with drugs and rats. In […]

Here’s the second installment of what loyal Sean Hannity and Tucker Carlson viewers on Fox (Carlson actually called claims of rising white supremacy a “hoax” despite FBI statistics to the contrary) aren’t hearing. Conservative columnist Russ Douthat cites Trump’s “obvious moral vacuum, the profound spiritual black hole, that lies beneath his persona and career.” That […]

I wanted to take a moment to applaud Gov. Janet Mills for her bold and firm stance to address the climate crisis surrounding us. The governor recently signed the “Act to Promote Clean Energy Jobs and to Establish the Maine Climate Council.” The legislation finally acknowledges climate change is an issue that must be urgently […]

My manifesto of hope: • Immediately prohibit sales of all assault style weapons (let the FBI define which guns qualify) and large capacity magazines; • Immediately initiate the buyback of existing assault-style weapons, as defined by the FBI, as was done in Australia; • Pass laws criminalizing any attempts to alter any weapon to make it […]

After looking at the 20-or-so democratic wannabes and then at the current occupant of the White House, I am reminded of a movie titled ‘The American President’ from the mid 1990s. In  the movie, President Andrew Shepherd, ably portrayed by Michael Douglas, gives a speech in which he (twice) utters the immortal phrase: “We have serious […]

I think I know why all the shootings are going on in this country. It’s all the negative news you see day in and day out on the news media. This is in print, television and the internet. Never any good news shown, oh maybe a 30-second bump at the end. What do you think […]
