As you probably all remember the “experts” declared that Hillary Clinton would beat Donald Trump handily. We all know how that worked out. Now the “experts” keep talking about which candidate could beat President Trump in 2020. Please do not think this way. What kind of person do you want as our president? I want […]

Several war powers resolutions are circling the House and Senate to rein in a crazy man in the White House. The U.S. had no business assassinating Qassem Soleimani. This is a war crime. Being a “nation of laws” where we have “trial by jury,” and “innocent until proven guilty,” there is never a justification to […]

Maine has waited long enough. For years now, America has famously had the world’s highest health care costs among developed nations – yet has the lowest health care quality. Why?

A recent New York Times story, “After ICE raids, a reckoning in Mississippi chicken country” (Dec. 28), reports that when U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids removed hundreds of illegal immigrants last summer from the Koch Foods plant in Morton, Mississippi, blacks got the jobs. No surprise. Whenever ICE raids have happened at chicken plants, […]

I recently watched Amazon’s “The Report.” While Adam Driver’s portrayal of Senate Select Intelligence Committee staffer Daniel Jones is nothing short of compelling, what really stuck with me from the movie was utter shame in my home country. The film details the extensive FBI investigation of CIA torture methods forced on suspected terrorists within black […]
