Re: Roman Catholic Bishop Robert Deeley’s defiance of the governor’s COVID orders (Nov. 11): His arrogance, his lack of plain common sense, make this Catholic embarrassed and angry. How in the face of rapid COVID up-tick in Maine, greatly increased numbers of people infected, can the leader of our church recommend his flock risk their […]

Letter to the editor: Without truth and facts, democracy sickens and dies
It was a brisk, cold morning in November, and the clocks were all striking 13. A paraphrase from Orwell’s opening sentence of his novel “1984,” the most frightening book I have ever read. Apologies to Stephen King. I never believed we would see it in the U.S., but I thank Donald Trump and his willfully […]

Letter to the editor: Portland rent, wage initiatives assume adversarial relationships
The People First Portland initiative campaign is unnecessarily confrontational, and assumes that a landlord-tenant relationship is antagonistic, versus a partnership. I am a landlord, with a mutually respectful relationship with my tenants. I charge fair rent and maintain my properties well. I will not evict my tenants or increase rent during a pandemic. Normally, I […]

Letter to the editor: Republican Party complicit in Trump’s failure to fight COVID
I commend Susan Collins for acknowledging the obvious in that President-elect Joe Biden has won.

Susan Collins was a Republican Party leader. I call on her to get up in front of the Senate and refute this claim. I also call […]

Letter to the editor: If we make sacrifices now, we can stop COVID
Forgoing the chance to introduce grandparents to their new great-grandson is painful. But holiday celebrations that don’t put anyone’s health at risk will be more enjoyable.

Letter to the editor: Watching the collapse of a dynasty built on sand
He sits at the Resolute Desk, wearing a red MAGA hat, as Fox News drones on in the background substituting for all the intelligence briefings shoved to a far corner of the desk. He’s planning a Rose Garden update on the COVID-19 virus, where he’ll again proclaim greatness in leadership while lashing out at “fake […]

Letter to the editor: Anti-Trump coverage ensured win for Biden
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 […]
