Congressman Bruce Poliquin is a first-class individual. He has worked tirelessly to serve the people of the Second Congressional District. His opponent, Emily Cain, identifies with the tax-and-spend liberal Democrat party. Her ads against Rep. Poliquin are false and misleading. When Poliquin was state treasurer in 2010, he and Gov. Paul LePage found a large, […]

The evidence was there against Hillary
The Constitution says we are all equal under the law. It is apparent that some are more equal than others. A legal opinion by attorney Ben Shapiro follows: Under 18 U.S. Code 793 grossly negligent handling of classified material is a criminal offense. “The law does not require intent. However, a level of intent required […]

Let us not forget
D-Day, the 6th of June, 1944 — there are fewer of us now who actually remember that day. Subsequently, it was depicted in the motion pictures “The Longest Day” and “Saving Private Ryan.” America paid a heavy price for success that day. The European campaign in World War II has received much review and notice […]

Should public law be changed?
Apart from the stew about “discrimination” versus “religious freedom” in dealing with the LGBT crowd, there is a separate issue of bathroom use — a function from which none of us can escape. Transgendered people have the same rights as the rest of us. Should they be given the additional legal right to use any […]

Obamacare is a broken system
This is a response to David Marquis’ letter (March 24) which disputed my claim (March 19) of the failure of the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare). The concept started during the Clinton presidency when Hillary Clinton tried to formulate a national health program (a public policy) behind locked doors and omitted practicing doctors from the planning.

Conservative propaganda
Once again, Thomas Shields is spreading propaganda touting the virtues of conservative politics (March 19). Americans don’t support welfare as a way of life. Certainly fraud shouldn’t be tolerated. What conservatives and liberals disagree on is how to fix it. According to usgovernmentspending.com, welfare is 6 percent of the 2016 Maine budget and 7 percent […]

Step forward, conservatives
Accountability — an important element in Maine’s welfare benefits. It seems the Maine Democrats have suddenly discovered it and are claiming authorship of new legislation. The question is, since Democrats had voted against its implementation in the past, why do they now accept it? Recent Sun Journal and other newspaper articles noted Republicans suspected that […]

Qualities the next president needs
In view of the current times, everyone should evaluate the presidential candidates carefully. What I look for in a candidate is one who is willing to enforce the laws of the United States and who will defend the United States with necessary force. I want a president who deals with terrorists severely. I favor a […]

Some facts for Dr. Shields
This is in reply to the letter from Thomas Shields (Nov. 22), “Republicans deal in facts.” He was responding to Nancy Willard’s letter (Nov. 13) which labeled him and other conservatives as having “extreme political views” and that Shields did not substantiate the “horrific” things he said the Democrats do. Shields indicated that he could […]

Facts contradict Shields’ opinions
It was comical to read Thomas Shields’ letter (Nov. 22) claiming Republicans “deal in facts.” I have made a part-time career rebutting letters he sends because of his lack of fact-based claims. Shields’ “opinion” is that the “Affordable Care Act” is a poorly structured program. I have spent years trying to teach him opinions are […]
