Since Joe Biden has said that he wouldn’t pardon his son for his transgressions, America has reelected a convicted felon as its president. A guy who ran on a “platform” that included “revenge and retribution” against his many enemies, which certainly would include Hunter Biden, and to this end, he tried to appoint a totally […]

Letter: A quick fix for USM building demolition
I’m wondering if the University of Southern Maine has considered using controlled implosion to take down the old law school building on campus. After preliminary asbestos removal, and explosives placement, it could be taken down in 30 seconds. Then haul away the rubble. It’s hard to imagine that would cost millions. Maybe they could sell […]
Letter: Collins’ critical choice on health care
The senator needs to prioritize Mainers’ health and safety over Trump’s unqualified nominees.
Letter: Propaganda’s played a role in Trump’s election
Like so many of us, I am still trying to understand how Donald Trump, with all that has been revealed to us all about him, has been elected to return to the presidency.

Within a one-year period, Maine taxpayers have funded $60 million for the January 2024 coastal storm damage and $20 million for the 2023 summer and Dec. 18 rainstorm damage to the western Maine roads.

Letter: Rabbis’ outrage is misdirected
I am a Jewish male, 90-plus years old, who served four years in the U.S. Marine Corps in the 1950s. I understand and appreciate the position and concerns that the rabbis recently expressed in the Press Herald (“More than 100 rabbis call for Portland boycott,” Nov. 26). However, I feel stronger that the rabbis should […]
