Does it seriously come down to threats? That if the people do not re-elect the present administration, we are all doomed to a life of misery and poverty? Serious minds think otherwise. I refuse to kiss the ring of my benefactor — the stable genius who says he was sent from above. False leadership is […]

This is in response to Mary Jane Newell’s letter, “Bottom line: Elect Republicans” (Aug. 16). Through crocodile tears, Newell laments the slings and arrows suffered by insults foisted upon her — such as bigot, nationalist, white supremacist, racist, fascist, generally-not-nice-person. And she is correct to call them out as ludicrous. Those words carry serious consequences […]

I write in response to a story in the Sun Journal (Aug. 17). With all due respect,  if the situation of racism at Edward Little High School is so out of hand, it was a newsworthy story for the Boston Globe to quote Auburn School Superintendent Katy Grondin, “There is room for improvement.” If Grondin […]

The column states the agreement includes provisions that “requires between 40% and 45%  of each vehicle be produced by workers earning a minimum of $16 per hour,” including the right to strike; “the […]

The outcry of the socialist liberal and the media like CNN, MSNBC are out of control. The rising hatred and blaming the president for the shooting is crazy. Mental illness is a big problem in America, not guns. The socialist, far-left liberals, like all the congresswomen and men like Cory Booker and Bernie Sanders calling […]

On behalf of many of Maine sheriffs, police chiefs and prosecutors, I would like to send kudos to Senators Susan Collins and Angus King following their recent announcement that Franklin, Oxford and Cumberland Counties will receive $9 million in Head Start funding. As a member of Fight Crime: Invest in Kids, I know this funding […]
