The Florida governor evidently believes the path to a Republican presidential nomination requires appeasing the right-wing nuts who recently booed even Donald Trump when the former president urged people to get their shots.
Taxpayers should know that they are paying for this idiocy and vote accordingly.
Biden not only surrendered to terrorists spouting bombastic threats, but he also capitulated to the revived murderous and culturally misogynistic regime that gave al-Qaida terrorists a base to plot the September 11, 2001, attacks that killed 2,977 Americans and injured over 6,000.
At its Aug. 18 meeting, the Auburn School Committee voted to no longer require masks in schools, leaving our students and faculty at risk of sickness and death. This display of moral cowardice is disgusting. With the exception of two committee members, they elected to ignore the advice of experts, parents and the community. The […]
Our so-called president is a global disgrace of epic proportion. His Middle East policies are an open door welcome mat for another terrorist attack on America. Has America forgotten 9/11? Biden is following Obama’s agenda to a tee. The mess Biden put us in now in Afghanistan should have never happened. He has no exit […]
Since 1972 I have spent a significant part of each year on Richardson Lake. I have found it to be a quiet, pristine habitat for all the flora and fauna that is treasured in Maine.

I’ve seen people riding bicycles on the left hand side of the road, snowmobiles and ATVs driven on the left shoulder, and people walking on the right side of the road versus the left. Snowmobiles and ATVs are vehicles, just like cars and trucks. But they aren’t […]
[California Gov. Gavin Newsom] wouldn’t face a recall if it weren’t for his instantly notorious dinner at French Laundry. This isn’t the most significant of his lapses, but breaking his own coronavirus rules at one of the finest restaurants in the country — the wine bill reportedly came to $12,000 — was going to engender a fierce reaction. Especially after Newsom ordered far-reaching and extensive lockdowns that were arbitrary (no outdoor dining — except for people making movies!) and economically damaging.
