Each day brings another outrageous executive order, false accusation or blatant lie from Donald Trump. He calls Barack Obama and his Department of Justice “scum,” obfuscates about his involvement with the late Jeffrey Epstein, attempts to bully and humiliate Fed Chair Jerome Powell, defies the rule of law in his immigration policies, refuses to stop […]

Angus King’s voting mistakes are adding up | Letter
The Aug. 1 letter by Leigh Bullion (“An error in judgment by Angus King“), urging Sen. Angus King to retire for King’s admitted “mistake” in voting along with every Republican senator (with zero Democrats and independents, except King himself) to confirm ultra-conservative and anti-abortion Josh Divine to a lifetime federal judgeship is right on the […]

Don’t politicize the Red Sox | Letter
This is in response to Jim Fossel’s column in the Aug. 3 Sunday Telegram (“Like the Red Sox, Maine Republicans seem content to coast“). Fossel should leave the Red Sox out of his partisan, political column. Daniel Turgeon Saco

Flags at Casco Days left black mark on celebration | Letter
I noticed that the July 28 paper published an article about the 90th anniversary of Casco Days. I am a resident of Casco, with two small children. This year I had to skip Casco Days with my kids and I am very upset about what happened. The Casco Days parade included a pickup truck flying […]

Trump’s Christian advisors are failing him | Letter
Shame on President Trump’s Christian advisors for telling him what he wants to hear, not what the Bible says. I question their biblical knowledge. If Trump continues listening to them he will not receive eternal life. They’re not challenging his despicable actions that are not godly. The Bible says love God and love your neighbor. […]

I joined the military at 17, returned home after serving and, like a lot of Mainers, eventually left again for college and career. I’ve always wanted to move back. […]
