What is going on in this country? I heard on the news Feb. 15 that at least two congresspeople are being censured by their home GOP for voting for Mr. Trump’s conviction. That is outrageous. Again, it shows the leadership of the party putting the party over the country. A congressperson should have the right […]

Androscoggin County Commissioner Noel Madore was right in his Feb. 12 guest column in saying that “the caliber of people we elect to all offices is important.” The residents of Androscoggin County have three commissioners who clearly are not up to the task. They are wasting taxpayer money grandstanding, when they should be focused on […]

Oh, the high drama that came from the prosecution in the Trump impeachment hearings. The case is over, but the hypocrisy will last forever. The prosecutors maintained that our democracy was at risk unless Trump was impeached. I sooner fear the billionaire backers of the mainstream news rather than another Trump. Huge lawsuits filed against […]

Here are some facts that never got entered into the record at Donald Trump’s impeachment trial. 1. Mitch McConnell, Charles Grassley and Lindsey Graham voted to convict Bill Clinton for lying to a federal grand jury about having sex in the White House with a woman other than his wife. They voted to acquit Donald […]

Anyone still needing proof that there was no “stolen election” need look no further than former President Trump’s impeachment “defense” team’s legal arguments. They are not even mentioning “The Steal,” despite it being the entire basis for the events of Jan. 6, because it was an indefensible lie from the start and it still is. […]

Tobacco companies have never wanted people to know the truth. They use every trick in the book to hide the truth.

Social media use powerful techniques to lure unsuspecting users down a train of […]

The Republican Party has been working very hard to convince us that it is the party of reason and responsibility, that the citizens of this country and their reunification are its main, driving force. We have seen how nearly half the population is willing to ignore verifiable evidence and swallow daily platefuls of falsehoods thanks […]

It isn’t easy for most people to understand the entanglement of technology and unintentional outcomes. They only see the benefits to their lives that technology brings, and they don’t think about anything beyond that. To get from technological concept to a profitable outcome is a complicated step-by-step engineering process. In each step there can be […]

Health organizations have an ethical, moral, and possibly legal duty to inform the public of potential risks in any medical procedure, including the COVID vaccine. I could find no mention of potential adverse effects beyond a sore arm, elevated temperature, and fatigue even after perusing all the latest information provided by Maine Health and Center […]

I have ancestors who came from Maine, and read the Jan. 20 Sun Journal article: “Lewiston-born twins find their father after decades-long search.” When I first started reading the article, I figured it would be a case of two twin girls in their 30s searching for possibly a “sperm-donor dad.” I am pleased that was […]
