Trumpism is what is too old. Way too old. Joe Biden has done an excellent job as president. His primary job in 2020 was to get Donald Trump out. It would have been nice if times had remained calm and he could have been a caretaker of the office while both major parties regrouped and […]

Letter: Media focusing on Biden’s age but not Trump’s lies
I have been a longtime subscriber to your paper and I am seriously considering dropping it. I am so sick of the coverage, or lack of, that you give President Biden. Do I see any articles about how good the economy is, how he is fighting for people like me (not millionaires)? I could go […]
Letter: Biden’s delusion of winning second term is misguided
I voted for Biden in the primary because his was the only name on the ballot. I wished then that we had someone else, someone younger. Now I desperately wish it. The vote for Biden in the primary was not a choice, and I resent that he says he is staying in for those voters. […]
Letter: Golden is not a true Democrat
The 2nd District congressman can’t be counted on to support issues valued by Democrats.
Letter: There are better alternatives to the Gorham Connector

His physical injury was minor; sadly, a supporter died. The emotional traumas of this day are harder to know, but they will likely run […]
Letter: Medical neutrality is killing Gazans
The American medical community must take a stand against the ongoing annihilation of Gaza.
Letter: Anthem seems more concerned with profits than patients
Regarding the July 9 opinion piece, “Maine hospitals are getting a $60 million cash infusion. They must share the wealth.” This, in my opinion, is corporate whining. Maine’s compensation for COVID and other new health care requirements are necessary. The problem for Anthem is that it cannot stand that it is not getting a part […]
Letter: Biden is the best and the only choice
Of course President Biden should stay in the race. Why are we even having this discussion? He has gotten a ton of important stuff done in his first term: he has brought respect back to the office, he has greatly improved our standing in the rest of the world; and has proven to be a […]
