In her June 9 letter, Mary Jane Newell frets about what is wrong with America and adopts the Trumpian approach of vague generalities and outright untruths: She says a “course in civics doesn’t appear to be available; world history is a joke.” Fact: Maine mandates education in four social studies disciplines — civics and government, […]

Clintons are above the law
Martha Stewart went to jail for lying to the FBI, like many others. It is a felony to lie to the FBI. When Hillary Clinton testified before the FBI, she was not put under oath. I have to wonder, why? The director of the FBI, in sworn testimony, said Clinton was extremely careless in the […]

What has happened to America?
What has happened to this country and the education of the young people? I have my own theory, and I have watched many things happen through the past 20 years. It is called the dumbing down of American school children. Planned or unplanned, it has happened. The youth of today don’t seem to have any […]

Trump thinks like us
Why are the liberals and the establishment Republicans so very scared of Donald Trump? They are demonizing him in the press, trying to railroad his campaign and accusing him of inciting riots. They are scared because Trump will not bow down to their demands. He will not follow their stupid, politically-correct agenda — an agenda […]

Establishment picking on Trump
I am so ashamed of the Republican Party and its nasty tactics trying to defame Donald Trump. Members of the old guard are very scared of losing control. They are getting so desperate and they are acting like spoiled, nasty brats. Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio and Mitt Romney are the party’s attack dogs. The old […]

Liberals should get over it
This is in response to Barry Allen (Jan. 24) who responded to my letter of Jan. 17. It seems he took offense at my defense of Gov. Paul LePage. At no time in my letter did I say that liberals should shut up. I was criticizing liberal legislators for their attempt to impeach the governor […]

About that First Amendment
I thank the Sun Journal for publishing another installment of the entertaining comedic stylings of local political humorist Mary Jane Newell (Jan. 17). In case anyone missed it, I will summarize it in a manner even her fan base can understand. Her argument was that the First Amendment guaranteed Gov. Paul LePage the right to […]

LePage has a right to speak up
I am so sick of the crybaby Democrats who lost the past two elections for governor of Maine. It seems it really stick in their craw and they can’t get beyond the fact that the voters elected Paul LePage twice. Now they want to impeach him. Democrats did the same thing to Sarah Palin in […]

Some liberals nasty and hateful
In recent letters to the editor, I have been raked over the coals by two very vocal liberals. I seldom write a letter to the editor where I am not vilified afterward by liberals. I often get nasty phone calls after a letter to the editor. I have had to change my phone number several […]
