It’s too bad that our country is going downhill with Joe Biden. I will not call him my president. I think he is a liar and a thief. He doesn’t want to help America. As soon as he was president he shut down the Keystone XL pipeline, and gas prices and other expenses have gone […]

I supported Gov. Janet Mills in her run for office. When I read that she had vetoed a bill that would have given farmworkers the right to unionize, I fully agreed with those who said her veto was “fundamentally immoral” and “an absolute disgrace.” The bill, LD 151, sponsored by Rep. Thom Harnett (D-Gardiner), was […]

Before his treasonous Jan. 6, 2021 speech before the Senate was interrupted by an invading mob, Sen. Rafael “Ted” Cruz (R-Texas) was in the process of explaining the rationale for his dereliction of duty by contesting certification of the electoral votes that would have declared Joe Biden the winner. This traitorous-interruptus homily will forever be […]

Article V of the U.S. Constitution gives states the power to call a convention of states to propose amendments. It takes 34 states to call the convention, as well as 38 to ratify any proposed amendments. A Convention of States Action resolution would allow states to discuss amendments that “limit the power and jurisdiction of […]

People should encourage the good stewardship of our legislators in Congress to legislate for privacy across all platforms. As our stewards, may they legalize default privacy across the internet. Individuals can then set the terms of agreement to suit their interests. Susan Dorman, Bryant Pond

Another Collins disappointment. It’s been more than saddening to watch Susan Collins, the U.S. Senate’s “most bipartisan senator,” attack the voting rights bill currently under consideration. At this time when democracy in the United States has never been more threatened and endangered, her statements that voter suppression in our country is nonexistent is very telling. […]

Last Thursday night around 10, we discovered an astonishing disaster unfolding in front of our home. A water main had broken on the road, and the vast majority of water gushing out of the pipe ended up in our yard and basement. There was nearly five feet of water, and rising fast. Many folks responded. […]

Obeisance is the French word for “obey.” In a way it carries even more weight in that category than its English peer. So regarding the immediate speeches of Republican leaders to the events in our Capitol last year, the word hovers over their follow-up actions since then, and in nearly all cases to their “corrective” […]

Recent polls have shown that both sides of the political spectrum fear for the future of our country. Thank heaven there is one thing that both sides agree on: fear. But the nature of our fear helps reveal the deep polarization of our citizens. One side says it fears that the country is headed toward […]

There is much todo in the press these days about “voting rights” and “voter suppression,” ad infinitum, for which the “evil Republicans” are (of course) entirely responsible. The solution — at the time of this writing it is Jan. 7, there are 297 days between now and the end of October, and the mid-terms are […]
