Recently, I had a lucky encounter with bikers. I am an elderly man living in Phillips and although I can drive, I have to use a walker. As I prepared to go pick up mail at the Post Office, I noticed that one tire on my vehicle looked a bit low. The Post Office is […]

I am writing to express appreciation for the hard work members of the Lewiston Little League put in during the Maine State Little League Tournament, which they hosted. They did an outstanding job. A small army of volunteers gave countless hours, making the week a very special experience for teams of kids from across Maine. […]

Recently, President Donald Trump took a tongue-lashing from the media when he tweeted that four Democratic Congresswomen were saying things that were anti-American and that they should return to the country of their origin. The media again reacted when the president mentioned the name of one of the four at a rally at which he […]

How did we get here? During the past few days, the news about the treatment of four Democratic women in Congress has been demoralizing. I have just finished reading a book about the war between the north and the south — “The Yankee Widow,” by Linda Lael Miller. Words from her book inspire me to […]

Within weeks of launching the new 501(c)(4) “Maine Momentum” and its subsidiary, the 16 Counties Coalition, attacks on Sen. Susan Collins have begun. Supposedly an “educational campaign” (which is legally prohibited from endorsing or opposing a political candidate), Maine Momentum is a thinly-veiled cover being used by Democrats to attack Sen. Collins. In a guest […]

Well, I have finally seen the light. I want to thank President Trump for showing me the way and making me realize my faulty thinking. Throughout my life, I have always considered myself to be an American and was proud to say so. How wrong I was. As a veteran, I always had a job, […]

To say that all Democrats are socialists is as wrong as saying all Republicans are racists. To say all racists, anti-semites and bigots support President Donald Trump and Republicans is more correct. Trump has shown his racists tendencies from his comments about Mexicans while announcing his candidacy; comments about the white supremacists in Charlottesville; saying […]

As a government founded and based on Christian values, socialist values are a slap in the face to an almighty and sovereign God. Left-wing liberalism is its own worst enemy. This country may have various so-called religions and they, too, will have their just rewards. I can see why Jesus wept. It is heartbreaking that […]

As a member of the Committee on Health Coverage, Insurance and Financial Services, I understand the challenges Maine faces in providing quality care at affordable costs. Surprise medical billing — when a patient receives out-of-network care and is later hit with excessive bills for the costs not covered by their insurance — is a problem […]

It’s disappointing that Paul Liebow spread such demonstrable falsehoods in his recent letter to the editor (July 21) distorting Sen. Susan Collins’ record. In reality, Sen. Collins has been a steadfast champion of defending individuals with pre-existing conditions such as diabetes, cystic fibrosis, asthma, cancer, arthritis and heart disease. In 2017, she was one of […]
