As a dog lover and owner, I feel compelled to write regarding the “Jaxx” Maine Veterinary Medical Center quandary. As with most situations, the truth here is somewhere in the middle. Vitriol spewing from social media and threatening voicemails are simply wrong and uncivilized. However, something is very off here. That an anonymous “somebody” so […]

Maine’s most recent primary election in Falmouth was foul. I am an enrolled Republican voter in Falmouth. On Election Day, I presented to the Election Clerk. I received a Falmouth municipal ballot and a state Republican primary ballot. My state Republican primary ballot was deficient, failing to provide me with an option to write-in a […]

An AR-15 is a long-range offensive weapon, effective at killing people hundreds of yards away. That’s offensive, not defensive.

I had the privilege recently to be with my grandchildren at a baseball game – their first – and after the final out there was an opportunity for them, and hundreds of other children, to run the bases inside the stadium. We adults lined up with them and there was no impatience, no cutting in […]

They took God out of our schools and let the Devil in. He locked the door behind him and there is no locksmith on duty. He slaughtered innocent, precious little children and adults, and the spineless weasels of our government do nothing to stop this carnage. Like that old saying, if something stinks or isn’t […]
