I am very concerned about the direction this nation is going. There is Donald Trump, threatening to prosecute and jail Hillary Clinton because of mishandling emails. The only damage from them seems to be embarrassment to her. No intentional wrong-doing has been demonstrated. Trump should be tried and prosecuted for sedition. He is encouraging a […]

Yes to Trump, Poliquin
By not indicting Hillary Clinton, the Justice Department broke or waived many rules of ethical conduct, just to keep her on the ballot. Lies, misdealings, fumbles, an illegal private server to avoid FOIA requests were all meant to keep Americans from the truth about her four damaging and lackluster years. Her words and actions disqualify […]

A puppet president
A basic question in this year’s presidential campaign is whether the American people are going to let a foreign power (Russia, through WikiLeaks) determine who will lead the country. During this presidential campaign, all “leaks” have been directed against Hillary Clinton; nothing has been released against Donald Trump. All evidence points to Russia. Do we […]

FT. LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Hillary Clinton is pressing into reliably Republican Arizona as she tries to steal a state away from Donald Trump.

In the past 150 years, in only three elections have states deliberately divvied up their electors rather than handing all of them over to the presidential candidate who attracts the most votes. It has never […]

Trump speech held many good ideas
A short time ago, Donald Trump delivered a speech in Gettysburg, Pa., that he should have given much earlier in the campaign, minus the usual threats against women who have accused him of sexual assault. The speech, which was probably written for him because “deep” and “thinker” are likely not the first two words that […]

Trump triumphant in Lisbon
LISBON — Unless the pollsters are botching it big time, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump faces long odds of pulling off an upset to claim the White House — or even putting Maine in his win column. But on a rainy Friday, there’s no doubt he had much of Lisbon in his pocket. Taking the […]

Live Video: Weather delays Trump but doesn’t dampen spirits in Lisbon

Lisbon looks forward to Donald Trump rally
LISBON — Growing up, David Garnett lived in a white house at the corner of Gartley and Lisbon streets. Out back there were woods and a pretty good vegetable garden, which almost everyone had in those days. They would fill scores of canning jars with beans and more each fall to help them get through […]
