President Trump is demanding that the Joe Biden campaign have more than the three scheduled debates. Presumably, this is to get Biden out of his basement more often and exposed to the voters, like the president does when he is playing golf outdoors. I believe it is time for the Biden campaign to make two […]

Marc Thiessen (column, July 24) has stooped to a new low, writing about how Donald Trump should be gentle with Joe Biden’s mental competence, when it was Trump’s appalling mental disarray before which even Chris Wallace was speechless. The fact that this incredibly unstable non-genius is in the driver’s seat would be frightening at any […]

With a staggering number of Americans still unable to work and filing for unemployment ,it is inexcusable that Mitch McConnell sent the Senate home leaving the HEROES Act, the next coronavirus economic relief package, not even debated. And now, as the virus wreaks havoc across the country, peaking and continuing to spread in a majority […]

Contrary to the Sun Journal’s misleading headline, “Poll: Anxiety props up Biden; Trump voters enthusiastic” (July 28), I am enthusiastic about Joe Biden’s candidacy for president, as are many others in Maine and around the country. We’re enthusiastically supporting his candidacy because of his decency and compassion, his deep and wide experience in helping run […]

I have known Katey Branch for nearly 30 years and I can’t think of anyone who is better suited to represent the people of Maine Senate District 19. Her tireless efforts to launch the Alan Day Community Garden, her work on behalf of the Fare Share food co-op, and her volunteer efforts with so many […]

As challenges to the removal of the Confederate flag and statues of its generals continue in this season of the distinctly Honorable John Lewis’s passing, a question, which should be asked of their supporters (and must have been asked somewhere before, I just haven’t seen it) is: What if the Confederacy had won the Civil […]

I make no excuses about my love of sports, but that love has been greatly diminished. Not because of the current outbreak of the coronavirus among Miami Marlins players, but because I feel a little misled about how pro games were to be played, with social distancing when possible. I haven’t seen a lot of […]

More hunters stalking Maine’s wildlife with crossbows is no reason to celebrate (“Outdoors in Maine: Highlighting changes in crossbow rules,” by V. Paul Reynolds, Sun Journal, July 26). A member of the Maine Bowhunters Association found that for every deer killed outright by a bowhunter, one more was only wounded and escaped to suffer and […]

Republicans like it all ways. Having gotten into the CARES Act items like a $170 billion tax windfall for real estate developers, they are ready to fight to the death to protect their plutocratic benefactors from liabilities pursuant to the COVID-19 epidemic. It may be an oversimplification to say that “the business of America is […]

In his column (July 23) Cal Thomas bemoaned the “folly” of increasing the national debt, arguing that “Americans should regularly consult the real-time debt clock and ponder the future.” One can only imagine that many Americans would welcome the luxury of pondering the future from a nationally syndicated perch rather than from the unemployment line.
