In his column July 7, Marc Thiessen was right about the national anthem protests by Colin Kaepernick and Megan Rapinoe. That they find the national anthem of the country they claim citizenship in (the latter a player for a team representing that nation on the world state) offensive to them sets them far below the […]

As a Maine voting citizen, I am very disappointed in the present disorder and meanness that is presented daily by members of the three branches of the national government. As Americans, the public must press elected representatives to work together at the national government level to solve the problems of this nation for the benefit […]

This past July 4, I proudly displayed an American flag outside my residence, as many Americans do. My flag was found in a dumpster at some point after that. I brought it home and washed it several times. What emerged was a beautiful, mint-condition symbol of this nation, roughly 5 feet by 10 feet in […]

I thank the Sun Journal for its recent coverage of the University of Southern Maine’s plans to strengthen its presence in Lewiston-Auburn. As the July 7 story outlines, USM is both exploring the relocation of the Lewiston-Auburn campus to downtown Lewiston, as well as looking to expand its academic offerings. We believe the right space […]

I write in response to the article “Baldacci: CMP should reconcile with customers” (Sun Journal, June 29). How is it that ex-Gov. John Baldacci winds up on the board for CMP’s parent company, Avangrid.? That is the same company trying to put a power corridor through Maine. How long has Baldacci been on that board? […]

If Democrats in the U.S. Senate would have done something about the immigrants crossing at the southern border, the situation wouldn’t be like it is now. All Democrats think about is trying to impeach the president. If Democrats want those immigrants in this country so badly, they should take them in and care for them. […]

The Lewiston Democratic Party is excited to announce its endorsement of Safiya Khalid for City Council in Ward 1. A graduate of Lewiston High School and the University of Southern Maine, Khalid serves on the Lewiston Library Board of Trustees, the Maine Democratic Party executive committee, and as vice chair of the Lewiston Democratic Party. […]

As a public service, here is what steady Fox News viewers aren’t hearing about the president, or, at least, hearing in abbreviated, glossed-over form: Some 10,800 times, Trump has lied or misrepresented things, according to a Washington Post fact-checker, including blaming Obama for taking children from asylum seekers at the border. More than 1,000 former […]

More and more I witness discouragement, even disgust, in many Maine people as Sen. Susan Collins fails to represent their desires and welfare. She is being described as “spineless” in her apparent inability to vote or speak forcefully against the will of her party and Sen. Mitch McConnell. In the past, Collins succeeded in convincing […]

Does anybody remember when President Trump was accused of creating a manufactured crisis at the southern border by Rep. Nancy Pelosi, Sen. Chuck Schumer and social media? The reality is that he was denied the funds needed to help with that very real crisis. Now, all of a sudden it is all his fault. Those […]
