Joe Biden’s victory was not due to him. He stayed in the basement five days a week. The media did his work for him. NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN – all anti-Trump coverage 24/7. All newspapers – large and small – including USA Today and the beloved Press Herald – as liberal and leftist as you […]

There may be ways to meet the People First Portland goals with fewer unintended side effects: • State-level hazard pay would protect small businesses and nonprofits and the jobs and services they supply. • Expanding rental assistance and first-time homebuyer programs would help keep Portland affordable and protect socioeconomic diversity. • The establishment of a […]

One of the hats that I have worn in my 90 years of life is election warden for the town, now city of Sanford. In this period of pillorying the election process, calling it rigged, I want to attest to why we should be proud as Americans that we have devised a system that guarantees […]
