Maybe if the president wants to also deport who he personally feels are violent Americans from our country, he should start with all the violent folks who he pardoned for the Capitol riot, people who actually went through the court process and were convicted and sentenced. Maybe he should model some leadership and do as […]

Maine farmers rely on government to compete | Letter
On April 6, the Sun Journal reported that the U.S. Department of Agriculture canceled the Local Food for Schools program, along with almost $3 million in funds to Maine. This (likely illegal) action will hurt Maine’s farmers, schools and kids. But why do Maine farmers need government help to sell their products competitively? The fact […]

Where were President Trump, Maine delegates, on April 5? | Letter
Following the April 5 rallies across the U.S., I read comments on social media questioning whether any of the millions of attendees had jobs. I don’t know the employment status of the people who turned out, but I suspect each person had some other obligation or activity that they gave up in order to voice […]

Rep. Libby’s censure was appropriate | Letter
I think we are missing the point on this issue. The censuring of Rep. Laurel Libby was based on her publicly posting a picture of a minor. This is a serious issue. We do not use our youth to create sensationalism or make our point. Posting a picture of a youth without their knowledge is […]

Maine needs to protect women’s rights | Letter
Justice Clarence Thomas mused about revisiting the right to contraception, granted by the Supreme Court decades ago. President Trump declared that he’ll defund Planned Parenthood, condemning “DEI,” of course. And, some in Maine have joined the party. Planned Parenthood is the nation’s leading provider of quality, affordable sexual and reproductive health care, and sex education. […]
