I get so tired of the chicken hawks on parade. These frauds found a thousand excuses from entering into military service, with its associated hardships and risks, when they were eligible. When they get some authority and power, they act like the most bellicose and belligerent of people, never seeing a potential conflict they can’t […]
Letters to the Editor
Letters to the editor of the Kennebec Journal and Morning Sentinel.
Mainers must speak out against ICE | Letter
The administration’s attempt to describe how and why Renee Good was shot by the ICE agent, before any of the evidence had been thoroughly examined, is another demonstration of the corrupt way in which this administration attempts to hide behind lies and deceit. There is a belief that if lies are repeated enough times, eventually […]
Remember Renee Good | Letter
Remember Renee Nicole Good, and all the other victims of wanton authoritarian violence in our country. Sadly, we can not undo the tragedy of Renee’s untimely death. We can carry her memory forward in our hearts and we can be motivated and determined to strive for the goals of justice and change in her name. […]
‘Moderate’ Collins resurfaces with Venezuela vote | Letter
Despite her recent support of the War Powers Act, Maine’s senior senator continues to back the administration.
Don’t drink Trump’s global warming Kool-Aid | Letter
This is regarding Gary Steinberg’s Jan. 11 letter, “Dense fuels rule, something Trump understands.” The second sentence in Mr. Steinberg’s letter says it all: “The fake global warming narrative, which was based on subsidy money (our money) feeding the pockets of power shysters and corrupt politicians from a past era, should be allowed to dissolve […]
Voters must be on guard for upcoming midterms | Letter
Anyone concerned about the direction the country is taking needs to prepare for the midterm elections. The Trump administration’s manifesto, Project 2025, seeks to station guards at voting sites to create fear and decrease voter participation. The Heritage Foundation document attempts to preclude the obvious arguments against this proposal by claiming it could strengthen faith […]
We should be willing to give the Trump administration its due | Letter
It’s been a fine year for America.
Two plus two does not equal five, Sec. Noem | Letter
No matter how many times members of the Trump administration try to convince us that it’s true, it isn’t.
Maine Democrats don’t care about affordability | Letter
I find it hard to believe Democrats in the Maine Legislature really care about affordability. After all, these are the same people who introduced and passed new taxes of streaming services that started on Jan. 1, 2026 (and also increased existing taxes on cigarettes and marijuana). Last January, we saw the introduction of new payroll […]
Struck by images of eerie dance partners | Letter
In the Jan. 7 edition of the Press Herald, a photo appears of President Trump dancing after his illegal operation in Venezuela above the lines: “Trump says his voters loved his attack on Venezuela … here’s what they think.” I am reminded of a propaganda photo of Adolf Hitler dancing a jig after the surrender […]
