Everyone knows from the last four and one half years of my being active with #RESIST Central Maine that I am no supporter of Sen. Susan Collins. However, this time I have to commend and thank her for voting with her conscience, and the Constitution.    Trump has obviously stepped over many lines and many […]

Where has our moral compass gone? Leadership is lacking in politics, our schools, and in our corporate boardrooms. There’s no responsibility in our media that creates the narrative, and social media which amplifies it. As a result, our children are growing up confused and looking for direction anywhere they can find it. Isolation and mental […]

We have had at least five years of a constant barrage of Trump, Trump, Trump. It is no longer necessary for the media to hang onto his every word and report every idiotic action. We have had enough. Let him sink deep into his self-imposed swamp with his pardoned buddies. The news networks should follow […]

We the people have now fully witnessed a past president truly ignore commanding officers, as well as any public officials, his oath of office to uphold our Constitution and laws that provide for the safety and well-being of all. Through the Senate impeachment proceedings, we the people have been provided a historical documentation of a […]

Having read the resolution presented to the Androscoggin County Commission, I am stunned by the animus it has generated. We are told to rely on the science. Is anyone seriously looking at the science, or just believing the narrative the “the sky is falling’” because it is being repeated hourly? I will gladly wear a […]

This letter regards Sen. Collins’ remarks on the Senate floor after the acquittal of private citizen Trump. Sen. Collins said she found him guilty, not by any single word he spoke, but by his failure to uphold the oath he had taken as president. Hypocrisy at its finest. The oath that Sen. Collins took was […]

Jamie Toohey is vibrant, creative, and caring. I’m thrilled that she is a candidate for the Waterford Select Board. Her energy and enthusiasm will bring a fresh perspective, while at the same time she will work collaboratively to build a healthier community. Her leadership skills in education, finance and communication give her the background to […]

I am deeply saddened by the insurrection in our nation’s Capitol that occurred Jan. 6. I am angered by the violent mob of protesters, who, at the incitement of former President Trump, used a variety of weapons to break down barriers, smash windows, ransack offices and assault police officers. Officers were assigned to secure the […]

The second impeachment trial is over. Mitch McConnell said Trump was “morally responsible” and his action was “a disgraceful dereliction of duty” pertaining to the attempted insurrection. Unfortunately, he and 42 other Republican senators did not have the courage to stand in support of the Constitution. Their faulty reasoning is that Trump was no longer […]

In his column “The Trump trial is bad drama,” Cal Thomas claims former President Donald Trump’s impeachment trial occurred because of Trump’s fervency to drain the swamp. Oh, what hyperbole and hokum. Criminaldefenselawyer.com notes that certain speech or acts receive little or no First Amendment protections: obscenity, child pornography, threats of violence, and speech that […]
