Letter: Beem needs to be replaced to balance Balentine
First, I am very sorry Edgar Allan Beem is no longer writing for The Forecaster. I am hopeful you will find someone to counter the adolescence writings of John Balentine. His latest column was particularly disturbing, as it reflects the Trump-like thinking that has caused the deaths of over 200,000 people. Do we really want […]

I’m voting for Nick McGee for Scarborough Town Council and I hope you will, too.

Letter: Balentine’s pugnacious letter ‘P’ column draws reader response
I greatly enjoyed John Balentine’s recent “P’s” column. He’s right that “Hidin’” Biden could not compare to “the tireless and fearless President Trump” even before our pulchritudinous president was pumped full of psychosis promoting pharmaceuticals. I first became aware of POTUS’ phenomenalness while living in New York in the ’70s. Multitudes were aware of his […]

Letter: Reader: What is wrong with The Forecaster?
Mr. Balentine’s column (“Mind your P’s this election season,” Oct. 2), states ” … while the tireless and fearless President Trump rallies in a different city each night (without a mask or utilizing social distancing) … each embody different ways to handle a crisis – (Trump) facing it head-on or (Biden) withdrawing from (the pandemic).” […]
