I’m sad for our country these days. We have a president who I believe has no morals, no sense of caring for people’s well-being. He is taking away all our rights as Americans. He causes hate and division among people. I think there’s no love in this man’s heart. I pray for a new day […]

It bears questioning, in light of the support the new president received in our recent election, by Evangelical Christians especially, if any experienced discomfort when they learned that Donald Trump wouldn’t place his hand on the Bible at his inauguration. His vice president, JD Vance, did, as is expected of elected officials to the highest […]

As I’ve stated before in this forum, I’ve never believed President Donald Trump is a true Christian. But if he were, I should think his hardest cross to bear would be knowing there’s no possibility of ever being adopted as the fourth person of the Godhead. But at least the man enjoys the delusional belief […]

My thanks to retired teacher Michael Bernier for giving Lewiston residents an uncensored look at our current school system. A system that is failing our children and financially affecting many of our struggling residents (“Retired Lewiston teacher’s viral video sparks conversations about struggles,” Jan. 18). How can the Lewiston public expect its children to get […]

In God we trust. In government we distrust. President Biden’s policies have failed the American people. Politicians acting like celebrities trying to put on a good show, when all else fails, tend to camouflage themselves. But the majority of voters have spoken. Whether we like President Trump or not, we must admit that he made […]

Some harbor troubling nostalgia for a savage world where chauvinism reigns, women’s rights are trampled, and power thrives on deception and manipulation. Donald Trump’s political philosophy resonates with such a vision, seemingly dragging America back to an era of Medieval darkness. Under Trump, the U.S. risks embracing a Republican dictatorship prioritizing power consolidation over democracy. […]

A letter in the Jan. 16 Advertiser Democrat suggested that people who are upset about school closings in School Administrative District 17 should “look in the mirror.” I did. I have supported the SAD 17 budget every year. I had expected that the district was maintaining our schools. Too much to ask? The district assured […]

As a former member of the Ladies Auxiliary of the VFW Post 9150 here in Lewiston, I couldn’t agree more with Kathleen Case Keene and her letter “Muhammad Ali statue is being disrespectfully placed,” published Jan. 18. The site chosen for this statue shows very poor thought and planning by someone. What a punch in […]

I write in response to Kathleen Case Keene “Muhammad Ali statue is being disrespectfully placed,” Jan. 18). As a 16-year-old teenager, I met Muhammad Ali during his visit to Maine for his championship fight. He was still named Cassius Clay and had not yet made his intentions known to the world about his conversion to […]

The media should take most of the blame for the protesting we saw in Washington before President Trump’s inauguration. The constant false reporting being spewed has been unrelenting. Even conservative stations are not helping whatsoever. One example of this has been using the word “insurrection” instead of “riot” for Jan. 6, 2021. The FBI has […]
