Sad to say I’m done with Maine | Letter
I live in Ottawa and truly miss traveling to the U.S. two to three times per year. It’s unfortunate and sad for such a beautiful country to spread such hatred and selfishness. However, this too shall pass. I see many state officials asking Canadians to return to the U.S. Despite the fear of crossing the […]

Are we going in a direction we consider great? | Letter
President Trump claims that his falling out with Jeffery Epstein occurred because, as Trump said of Epstein, “He stole people that worked for me.” Trump considers people to be a commodity that can be stolen, he considers people to be a commodity owned. The presidential administration is full of human traffickers. They are ordering masked […]

Maine Democrats are cannibals | Letter
Democrats are cannibals. If we don’t stop preying on our own in the face of peril, we will cease to exist. Case in point? Graham Platner. Platner, a candidate who has managed to convince his deeply Republican neighbors of the threat the current administration poses to both them and the country, has suddenly gained the […]

Let Auden’s lines light the way | Letter
As I read the paper’s Sept. 1 ‘Today in History’ section, I remembered that when the history course I taught got to the beginning of the Second World War, the students and I would read aloud and discus the poem, “September 1, 1939,” by W.H. Auden. On that date, Germany invaded Poland. While the circumstances […]

Those angry about ICE forget we are a government of laws | Letter
Illegal entry into the United States is a federal crime. A non-citizen who enters or attempts to enter this country without authorization faces arrest and deportation by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). “We are a government of laws, and not of men,” noted John Adams, second president of the United States. What is it […]

Susan Collins should not seek reelection | Letter
Sen. Susan Collins is no longer her usual “concerned.” Now she’s “extremely alarmed” that President Trump and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. have fired the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention after just weeks on the job. And that led to the resignations of four other CDC officials. […]

Dismayed by arrest of immigrants in Skowhegan | Letter
This is in response to an article that appeared in the Aug. 28 edition, headlined “Erratic driving led to Skowhegan traffic stop, detaining of 14 Romanians.” Were laws broken? Yes, traffic laws, safety laws, but rather than given citations, they were arrested. Local police watched as they loaded their groceries, then proceeded to follow them […]

Trump’s trying to build a private army with tax dollars | Letter
I have watched, with disgust and anger, as the current president works at normalizing the presence of armed, anonymous agents and military forces on the streets of peaceful American cities according to his dictates. This is authoritarian action 101. The behavior of his masked ICE agents isn’t the removal of dangerous criminals and rapists; it […]
