Letter: Collins deserves Maine’s support
Among recent disheartening events, the campaign against Susan Collins is one. Continuing Maine’s tradition of bipartisan senators, Susan Collins upholds that honored line. The Lugar Center’s bipartisan index clearly demonstrates Susan is the most bipartisan senator and cooperation is paramount. Previously represented by senators from each party, George Mitchell and William Cohen, I was proud […]

Letter: Biden accuser’s character smeared, listen to her story
I believe Tara Reade. Regarding the opinions by Edgar Allen Beem (“Do we really have to believe all women? May 20) and letter writer Barbara Doughty, they repeat myths that we have heard for years on this topic. “Why did she wait so long?” Well, why did victims of priests wait so long to come […]

Letter: Collins’ Kavanaugh vote set stage for polarized Supreme Court
Lost in the reporting on protests related to police brutality was an ominous sign from the Supreme Court set into motion by Susan Collins’ flawed judgment in voting to confirm Bret Kavanaugh to the court. Collins went out of her way to lecture Americans on jurisprudence before voting for Kavanaugh, convinced of his exemplary qualifications. […]

Letter: President proves he is ‘Beloved Leader Trump’
I’m tired of Edgar Allen Beem attacking Donald Trump. Recent events, particularly the president’s heroically bursting from the bunker to show us his Good Book and subsequently warn us of the existential threat antifa, have left no doubt that Donald Trump is indeed our Beloved Leader: Beloved Leader Trump, or as we fondly refer to […]

Letter: Maine senators shouldn’t support ‘heroes’ bailout
One trillion. A thousand billion. Ten thousand million. An almost incomprehensible number. Light travels at 186,000 miles per second or 5.88 trillion miles in a year. To analogize with money, you would have to spend $186,000 per second to burn through $5.88 trillion in a year. But our government is poised to do just that. […]
