“ ‘Troubled’ by Maine Capitol Police chief’s social media posts, Mills calls for review,” so reads the Jan. 15 headline on the Press Herald’s website. I hope that, in fact, our governor, Janet Mills, was more than just “troubled” by the revelation that Chief Russell Gauvin embraced and promoted the delusionally seditious and public health-corrosive […]

Well, a phone number for making an appointment to get a COVID vaccine has become available. (Those 70 and older can call for an appointment at 877-780-7545.) I’m 83, so, I am in the 1B category. But just try to get through on that phone number! Busy, busy, busy, and then they automatically end the […]

The public needs to hear from Sen. Susan Collins that the presidential election of Nov. 3, 2020, was fair. It was not rigged. She needs to explain to the public that Donald Trump lost the election fair and square. Joe Biden is the new president. Trump’s sick behavior in failing to accept loss has split […]

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?

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 […]
