If Sens. Susan Collins and Mitt Romney really care about governing to address our country’s problems, they would make deals to caucus with the Democrats. Their votes would give the Democrats Senate control. In exchange they could extract promises not to pack the Supreme Court; not to add states; not to scrimp on contracts sent […]

Letter to the editor: Congratulations to Collins for standing up to a bully
There was an apolitical emotion in play which, I believe, partially explains Susan Collins’ victory. Everyone knew someone like Sara Gideon in high school and they didn’t like them then, either. Seemingly sweet and lovely on the outside, vicious on the inside. Ms. Gideon’s campaign ads brought forth this buried recollection in many voters. The […]

Letter to the editor: Voters saw through Democrats’ plan to unseat Collins
As the old Scottish poem says, the best-laid plans often go astray. That’s exactly what happened to the Democrat Party here in Maine on Election Day. The party had what they thought was the plan to unseat Susan Collins. They poured in millions of dollars in out-of-state money to lead a dirty ad campaign that […]

He rambles on (Donald Trump style) about how great a conservative president he is to support his thesis: “Trump’s […]

Letter to the editor: Women, girls need compassion during unintended pregnancy
Ruth Bader Ginsburg spent her life on the Supreme Court working for women’s rights. Donald Trump wasted no time in nominating Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court to take her place, someone expected to vote to repeal Roe v. Wade. It is well known that conservative religions agreed to support Trump’s re-election for his […]

Letter to the editor: Step up and protect the medical community
It is our turn to be the heroes. For the last eight months we have leaned very heavily on the medical community. Maybe now we need to let them lean on us. If COVID cases surge, they will be the ones directly affected. We are the ones who can flatten the curve. Wear your masks, […]

Letter to the editor: Only complete vote count will yield validly elected president
As a U.S. citizen, I’m putting this on record. In the U.S., 160 million voters were expected to vote in this election. By saying Wednesday that he wants even the initial vote counting to stop, Donald Trump has declared himself a would-be tyrant. One of my ancestors took a musket ball to the forehead at […]
