Sen. Susan Collins appears to be leaning toward approval of Brett Kavanaugh as a Supreme Court justice. I wonder about Collin’s vote on that and also her vote on that unthinkable national budget that President Trump provided. Trump and Collins had a private meeting and, suddenly, Collins decided to vote for his budget. I can […]

Writer's views were offensive
This is only the second time I have ever written a letter to the editor of the Sun Journal, but I just can’t take Steve Turner’s outlook on what Jesus would do if he came down from the cross (letter, Sept. 8). I find his “Jesus” views offensive to the current medical care that is […]

A better health care system
There are a lot of inaccurate commercials on television slamming universal health care. The commercials suggest huge costs to these systems.

Wrong timing for book release
Seventeen years ago on Sept. 11, several acts of terrorism of horrific proportions was played out upon America. I take offense with the publishing house of Simon & Schuster. The offense is not in publishing Bob Woodward’s new book, “Fear: Trump in the White House,” it is with the timing of the book’s release — […]
