We have a generational choice in the presidential election on Nov. 5 between two very different ways to live in the world as our society inevitably evolves and new problems arise. Problems with inflation, industrial job loss and immigration are societal problems we all need to tackle together, rather than blaming the other political party. […]

JD Vance is right when he said we need to be listening to common-sense wisdom instead of the experts during the debate. We don’t need experts to tell us that to grow the U.S. economy the last president we want is someone who filed bankruptcy six times during his business career, failed to pay taxes […]

I’ve lived most of a century without fear of being burned as a witch for disagreeing openly with anyone, and I’d like to keep it that way. Free speech allows us a historically rare opportunity to live fully human, responsible lives, believing what makes sense, building dreams, and acting on them. Our grandchildren should know […]

I respect every American’s right to voice their opinions at lawful demonstrations and venues. What I don’t respect are people using their elected positions as vehicles to air their personal perspectives and agendas that have absolutely nothing to do with their elected positions.

Trump poses a religious dilemma for Christians. Consider Matthew 7:20: “…by their fruits ye shall know them.” Trump is anti-abortion, a major deal, and he courts evangelicals. But he rarely attends church, and he’s said he doesn’t ask God to forgive his sins. He never admits to being wrong. We’ve seen him mocking people with […]

My commitment to my wife: 40 years, four kids, four states, 12 moves, 14 jobs between us. That’s commitment. Holly Stover exemplifies public service commitment. At DHHS, she fought for the people of Maine – Fort Kent to Fryeburg, Acadia to York, rich, poor, housed, unhoused, young, old – and wept when former Gov. Paul […]
