Arguably, President Trump is the most corrupt president in U.S. history. He certainly is the most corrupt president in my 74 years. In addition to his sale of White House memorabilia, his cryptocurrency corruption, his “reallocation” of $1.25 billion of our money for his Board of Peace, the “pay to play” oligarchs who surround him, […]

Why is Sen. Susan Collins so silent? President Trump has established an unconstitutional slush fund to pay supporters; he takes gifts from Qataris and others; he has enriched himself by $4 billion; he enables his sons and son-in-law to profit on government contracts; he obstructs the release of the full Epstein file trove as required by […]

Mr. Burzlaff references three of our founders — Gerda Schild Haas, Cantor Kurt Messerschmidt and his wife Sonja Messerschmidt — describing their journeys from the concentration camps to Maine, where […]

I have been thinking about Jonathan Bush’s comment during the Republican debate and his remark, in one of his ads, where he condemns “wokeness.” I associate “wokeness” with anti-DEI.
