After reading the recent editorial outlining the shortage of coaches and game officials and the reasons for it (“Our View: Loudmouths take joy out of high school sports,” Sept. 2), I wonder if there would be a change in game goers’ behavior if, after some bout of abuse, officials would all walk off the field, […]

I watched in amazement as President Biden, through executive order, decided to pay off up to $20,000 in student college loans for everyone earning less than $125,000. Has he screwed up our economy so badly with his dive into socialism that the offer of loan paybacks will save him at the polls? In December 2020, […]

Some weeks ago, in a May letter to the Press Herald, I wrote: “I have no idea what is the Democratic Party’s central message.” Little has changed in the last few months. There are few mentions of President Biden’s successes and mostly tactics-level efforts. We’ve left it to the Republicans to define the Democratic Party […]

The missing man was no longer the center of attention; Bruce Akers became the center of attention. No expense was spared to ensure his […]

Many older Americans are writing of their pride in paying their own way through college. They know that college costs were less when they attended. Do they wonder why? Before the 1980s, most state college and university costs were subsidized by states, with federal government education funds covering 15 percent and students paying another 20 […]

Like the cowardly attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, President Biden’s incendiary and divisive midterm campaign speech – advertised as non-political – defaming me and tens of millions of patriotic Americans who didn’t vote for him as enemies of democracy, will also go down in infamy. I have lived through the administrations of 16 presidents, […]
