I don’t think we should so much be focusing on how evil Nicolás Maduro is/was as much as we should be looking at the precedent President Trump’s action in Venezuela sets. Given the administration’s reasoning, what is now to stop China from invading Taiwan? Taiwan is a heck of a lot closer to China than […]
Letters to the Editor
Letters to the editor of the Kennebec Journal and Morning Sentinel.
Venezuela operation shows a president out of control | Letter
This lawlessness must be stopped.
We must stand up to American tyranny | Letter
In 1776, taxation without representation was called tyranny. In 20th century Germany, the detention, incarceration and murder of Jews was called tyranny. In 21st century America, tyranny is the kidnapping of immigrants off the streets by armed unidentified masked agents and their incarceration in ICE prisons. This is done without the due process of law, […]
Welcome reading on the good our armed forces do | Letter
Robert Klose’s Jan. 2 op-ed, “I was there for one of the Navy’s finest hours. Today, I despair,” was welcome reading. Please continue to publish pieces showing that our armed forces have done, and will continue to do, wonderful humanitarian work, and not be tarred by the Hegseth brush. Chalmers HardenberghFreeport
Seeking a Waterville bakery’s new location | Letter
Several years ago there was a small bakery in Waterville, I believe on Union Street. The gentleman made fine breads, but the shop was closed as the building was to be destroyed, and recently was. The baker left a sign on the closed building indicating he would seek an alternative location. Would anyone know if […]
Criticism of Gov. Mills’ education record was unfair | Letter
The governor has done a lot for Maine’s schools.
The Nobel Peace Prize recognizes something Trump does not have | Letter
As a Norwegian American, I felt compelled to write to the Nobel Peace Prize committee last year after President Trump begged for the prize because of all the wars he said he had ended. He didn’t know that the Norwegian public detests begging and boasting because of a principal called janteloven, which our ancestors unwittingly […]
How can Trump break bread with Netanyahu? | Letter
Israel has found another way to murder Palestinian babies. So far they’ve shot, blown apart, burned and starved them. But with the onslaught of winter, they are now blocking aid organizations that are carrying blankets and warm clothing, and many infants have frozen to death. Altogether something like 40,000 infants have been deliberately killed by […]
Maine needs experienced political candidates | Letter
I am writing in response to the recent letter to the editor regarding the irresponsible coverage by the Maine Trust for Local News of Graham Platner’s candidacy (“Paper’s love of Platner is irresponsible,” Jan. 1). I agree with the author regarding the preferential publicity given to this senatorial candidate by the recent coverage, but am […]
The Trump administration is trying to suppress evidence of climate change | Letter
Although it may seem inconsequential to many, we all should be alarmed at the termination of The Earth Observer, a NASA publication with a 37-year history of reporting on the salient observations of NASA’s space effort to understand the makeup and evolution of planet Earth. Unfortunately, the impacts of human habitation of planet Earth […]
