According to the New York Times, the FBI opened an inquiry into whether President Donald Trump was secretly working on behalf of Russia. That was in 2017, shortly after the president fired James Comey. In a direct response to a question from MSNBC’s Kristen Welker, Trump denied having worked for Russian interests. That comes from […]

Nightmare on Pennsylvania Ave.
Halloween is rapidly approaching. Ghosts, ghouls, goblins and witches have nothing on the Trump administration. People should read “Fire and Fury” by Michael Wolff, “Fear: Trump in the White House” by Bob Woodward and “The Fifth Risk” by Michael Lewis. Then they can be afraid, very afraid.

Trump and his sycophants
After the death of Sen. John McCain, it took the American Legion and the VFW to force the commander in chief to lower the U.S. flag over the White House. What a contest between a hero and a non-hero. Sixty years ago, “The Adventures of Superman” aired on television. He was faster than a speeding […]

Trump simply can't tell the truth
My dictionary defines “collusion” as a secret agreement between two or more persons for a deceitful or fraudulent purpose. The public may never learn what was discussed in Helsinki and that sure reeks of collusion. President Donald Trump has repeatedly called the Mueller investigation a “witch hunt,” but a lot of Russian warlocks were indicted. […]

Make it a blue tsunami
Abraham Lincoln once said that upon the death of a corrupt lawyer it wouldn’t be necessary to dig a hole to inter him. He was so crooked, he could just be screwed into the ground. I wonder what Honest Abe would think about today’s Republican Party. Since President Trump took office, he has lied more […]

Make America great again
Donald Trump berated Joe Biden for verbally attacking him. What hypocrisy from someone who has attacked everyone. Trump has more nerve than a bum tooth. Trump recently said that he would have rushed into a live-shooting situation, even if unarmed. However, he didn’t have the intestinal fortitude to face Rex Tillerson or H.R. McMaster when […]

How’s this for a wall?
Here is a stupid idea — let’s build a 30-foot wall around Mexico, Maine. All we have to do is negotiate land easement rights with Roxbury, Carthage, Dixfield, Peru and Rumford. Of course, it would be necessary to cross Routes 2, 142, 17 and 120. A bigger challenge would be the construction of the wall […]

President unfit for office?
Amendment XXV to the Constitution of the United States defines the process for replacing a president who is unfit for that office. Are Donald Trump’s mental faculties in a state of irreversible deterioration? If so, what will it take for member of his inner circle, the sycophants in the West Wing or his followers in […]

Hopeful for investigation
President Donald Trump vowed to drain the swamp in Washington, D.C. Instead, within a span of four months, he has brought a fetid stench to the nation’s capitol. More damage has been done to the White House recently than since the War of 1812, when the British burned it. If Watergate taught the country anything, […]

Nation deserves better
I agree with the sentiments expressed in letters by Ellen Field, Eileen Fair and Carole Richards (March 11). Michael Flynn is exposed as a foreign agent, pocketing $530,000 for his lobbying efforts. Ben Carson, President Trump’s HUD secretary, claims that slaves came to America as immigrants seeking a better life. Jeff Sessions and Trump’s son-in-law […]
