In rebuttal to Mr. Joe Voisine of Florida (Nov. 10, “‘No malarkey’ that Biden is wrong leader for America“). Malarkey you say? That robust economy that Biden inherited was crippled by a deadly epidemic that caused everything from supply problems to economic problems, not just here, but internationally. Despite inflation, with rises in both employment […]

Marilyn Burgess: Loyal to the pocketbook, not people
I have become resigned to the fact that team owners and executives are only loyal to the pocketbook, but they better produce a result in that effort. Chaim Bloom has not done that with the Red Sox. He took a pennant winning team to a last place team in short order. He made lousy personnel […]
Terence McManus: Blatant admission about our elections
“Yevgheny Prigozhin admitted Friday that he had interfered in U.S. elections and would continue to do so.” I’m shocked! (Sarc alert) This is the way of the world — they spy on us, they mess with our elections, and we spy on them and we try to mess with their elections(?), such as they are. […]
Denis Mailhot: Give thanks as an indivisible nation on Veterans Day
Since my honorable discharge from a tour of duty serving in the U.S. Navy, between 1969-72, each Veterans Day I take a moment to pause and remember the sacrifices of the men and women who served in our nation’s military service. This calls to mind those who fought and perished for our freedom since the […]
Ellen Field: Republican Party plagued by MAGA movement
It’s puzzling that Donald Trump’s MAGA Republicans adore a man who cares nothing about them and who promoted two of the biggest lies ever, that he didn’t lose the election (yes, he did) and that the attack on our government Jan. 6, 2021 was acceptable (no, it was horrifying and shameful). Trump received a huge […]
Joe Voisine: ‘No malarkey’ that Biden is wrong leader for America
From the very beginning, President Joe Biden told the American people that he would be president for all people and fix the mess that former President Donald Trump had created. Although I did not vote for Trump, I do recall a much better world we had before Biden took office. A robust economy, low gas […]
Patricia D. Tibbetts: This is what ‘good sportsmanship’ looks like
I am writing regarding a photo by Russ Dillingham that appeared in the Oct. 30 edition of the Lewiston Sun Journal in the Sports section. The heading of the photo: “Rivals clash in Auburn.” The photo shows two high school soccer players: Abduljabaar Abbi of Lewiston High School and Abdihakim Daud of Edward Little High […]
Ben Lounsbury: Trump wasn’t fouled, stop ruining the game
I am a football fan. The game is exquisitely designed to keep a viewer interested until close to the end, sometimes right up to the final seconds. I watch several games per week. When I was growing up, there was no video review. Sometimes a game did not end “as it should have” because a […]
Marc Jalbert: Honesty ‘has taken a hit’ in political advertising
It just seems to me that the political advertising from this cycle should have had laws applied to it. The blatant and unadulterated lying and innuendo needs to be curbed. Period. How can voters even begin to sift through all the garbage that has been put out to us; it only attacks our intelligence. To […]
Craig Saddlemire: Kudos to city clerks
Voting in Maine is easy and accessible for our citizens. We have hardworking people like Kathy Montejo, Lewiston city clerk, and the staff in her department to thank for administering a clear, simple, and transparent voting system. We can vote early by absentee ballot through the mail or at city hall, or we can vote […]
