President Trump’s U.S. Border Patrol commander in Chicago, Gregory Bovino, has stated that lakes and rivers are borders by U.S. law. The U.S. Border Patrol has the legal right to operate within 100 miles of our borders. Lake Michigan is surrounded by four states: Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana and Michigan. Lake Michigan is connected to Lake […]

Rick Bennett is the best choice for Maine’s next governor | Letter
As indicated by the ongoing government shutdown, we need leadership that will bring the parties together. I’ve seen Sen. Rick Bennett do this over and over. He is not party-specific and won’t get bogged down with partisanship. He does the right thing for Mainers. Biannual budgets should be bipartisan, especially in a state that is […]

Trump’s destruction of the East Wing is simply vulgar | Letter
I was outraged to see the images of demolition being carried out on the East Wing of the White House. That is our house, belonging to the people of the United States of America. It is not Mr. Trump’s house, and he has several houses he can tear up as he sees fit. While renovation […]

Graham Platner’s owning of past wrongs is refreshing | Letter
If we’re all being honest with ourselves, we can look back on our younger years and find something that we regret saying. Sometimes this is out of anger; other times it is due to simply being misinformed. The great thing about being human is that our thoughts and philosophies have the ability to grow and […]

We’ve […]

Make health care an American right | Letter
Democrats extend the shutdown to force Republicans to restore health care and health insurance tax credits. Republicans cry foul, falsely claiming undocumented workers will get coverage under Democrat demands. Meanwhile, tens of thousands of Mainers will lose their health care coverage or watch their premiums increase dramatically, unless a compromise is reached. We should not […]

Wildlife will pay the price for our population explosion | Letter
In their reporting on the careers of Jane Goodall and David Attenborough, CNN, NPR and PBS all skipped mention of their many statements warning of dire consequences for wildlife, their habitats and us if we don’t find ways to cork the population-growth genie — and soon. It may be significant that most such warnings come […]

Appalled by USDA website messaging on shutdown | Letter
I’m fuming. I went on the USDA website and found the following message: “Due to the Radical Left Democrat (sic) shutdown, this government website will not be updated during the funding lapse. President Trump has made it clear he wants to keep the government open and support those who feed, fuel and clothe the American […]
