“I explain the essentials of propaganda to the press conference yet again. Fritzsche is often too literary for my taste. He fails to properly understand the value of repetition in propaganda. One must constantly be repeating the same thing in different forms. The public… must be thoroughly saturated with our views by constant repetition. Until […]

To the Editor: As we get closer to Election Day, the number and intensity of attack ads continues to grow. Unfortunately, I continue to see political ads that mention AARP and imply a candidate’s endorsement here in Maine. I want to be clear on this: AARP is entirely nonpartisan. We do NOT endorse or oppose […]

Last week Americans had a chance to plumb the depths of constitutional ignorance prevalent among America’s left-leaning senators. Pat Leahy (D., Vt.) asked whether a president must obey a court order. Judge Barrett replied, “The Supreme Court can’t control what the president obeys.” Mazie Hirono (D., Hawaii) asked whether Barrett had ever sexually assaulted anyone. […]

October 10 is the day patriots and humanitarians celebrate the Bolivian Army’s execution of Che Guevara. People who find themselves disappointed with the year 2020 can console themselves with this thought, that Argentinian psycho wasn’t around to kill anyone this year or any other year.

Before addressing the subject of this column, I wish to express an opinion on an issue which appeared in the recent grammar school brawl laughingly called a “presidential debate.” Good Ol’ Joe Biden followed his party’s strategy of denouncing Donald Trump as a crypto-fascist. He seized on the president’s failure to condemn the Proud Boys […]

To the Editor: The Board of the Tri-Town Food Cupboard met recently to discuss post-summer plans for food distribution. Because of the on-going Covid 19 epidemic, some changes were made only after serious deliberations. It was recommended that due to the many unknowns, this year there will be no traditional Thanksgiving baskets for the community. […]

To the Editor: It goes without saying that we live in very difficult times. One of the tragedies of our times is the devaluation of public service and public servants. Recently, at least at the national level, we are left to fend for ourselves. Fortunately, we have people who can rise to these occasions, and […]

A month ago I gave a former GOP State Committee chairman a $2,000 check to take to the Collins headquarter. My original motive was to repay her for the two thousand dollars she contributed to my congressional campaign. I didn’t feel free to criticize the woman while I was in her debt. Susan’s vote supporting […]

On September 17, 1787 our Constitution was signed by 39 delegates at the Constitutional Contention and sent to the states for ratification. Last week’s Constitution Day marks the 233rd anniversary of the foundation of the United States. We might also celebrate the 34th anniversary of Justice Scalia’s unanimous confirmation on that day. Readers might want […]
