If Donald Trump is charged with and convicted of a serious crime, which is allowed under the Constitution after the impeachment trial is concluded one way or another, how about banishment, a legal punishment? England used it often (it was known as “transportation”), and Napoleon was banished/exiled twice. The devil is in the details, of […]

I think the Portland Press Herald should be ashamed of publishing letters that state something as fact, when any well-informed editor knows it is not (“Trump backer accepts Biden, ponders future,” by Ralph Wallace, Jan. 19, Page A10). To state as fact that the Democrats will now control all three branches of government is absolutely, […]

Sen. Angus King wrongly asserts that Republicans have “divided the country“; it is Big Government that is divisive. An expanding Code of Federal Regulations, written by unelected bureaucrats, seeps into our lives and commanders our resources – there is too much at stake for various factions not to be intensely concerned how the “boot” or […]

Thanks to columnist Bill Nemitz for calling out Sen. Susan Collins once again on her cowardice (“Long in the making, a moment of truth for Susan Collins,” Jan. 15). She lost her moral compass and courage a long time ago, and it’s shameful that she has not at least spoken out against the rampage that […]

Terrorists bludgeoned a policeman to death inside the United States Capitol. You’d expect those who proclaim “Blue Lives Matter” would be screaming in horror, rage and grief. Instead, the response has been eerily subdued. Could this strange silence be because they mostly value “Blue Lives” for their use in oppressing “Black Lives”? When white supremacists […]

There were many other flags representing the disgusting views of far-right militia and white supremacists. One flag, in particular, caught my attention because I see it twice on my way to work from […]

You don’t have to know George Colby to be outraged – at the influence of the left. Colby is a selectman from New Gloucester who is accused of racism. A petition to recall him is underway. After the Pledge of Allegiance at a town meeting on Dec. 3, Colby stated: “Liberty and justice for all, […]

I find it perplexing to see some, like Walter J. Eno (“Letter to the editor: Addressing fraud at the polls is not voter suppression,” Jan. 12), are still caught in the obsession with widespread voter fraud. I don’t use the term lightly, but how else can the fanatical need to find something that no one […]
