You haven’t reprinted George Will’s column from The Washington Post lately, and I’ve wondered why. Although I confess to being a liberal, who suffers from the disorder called bleeding heart (as did Jesus, by the way), I enjoy reading Mr. Will and other conservative columnists, like your own Jim Fossel. They provide stimulation and present […]

This November is the most important election of our lifetime, as freedom and our children’s futures are on the ballot. Gubernatorial candidate Paul LePage and Republicans up and down the ticket in Maine are offering real solutions to historic inflation, President Biden’s border crisis and an opioid epidemic that is out of control.

“Whazzat?” This was me in 2017. My patient wife suggested an audiologist appointment. The result? Yes, I had significant hearing loss. The fee for the recommended hearing aids: $1,750 each – $3,500 for both – and that was with the $750 each that my generous (at that time) insurance would cover. We couldn’t afford them. […]

Janet Mills wants to give asylum seekers handouts, financed by Maine taxpayers. By so doing, Mills effectively robs taxpayers […]

As a property owner and summer resident in Raymond, I can attest from personal experience that Democratic Rep. Jessica Fay has a deep interest and involvement in resolving issues that matter to folks living in her district as well as throughout the state of Maine. She takes the time to listen carefully to our concerns […]

I’m confused. I’m thinking that if the Taliban were traversing our country, attempting to stage a coup, that someone would intervene. That if an enemy army were taking up arms, we would stop them. Why, then, are we allowing Donald Trump and the Make America Great Again believers to do exactly that and no one […]
