Abraham Lincoln once said that upon the death of a corrupt lawyer it wouldn’t be necessary to dig a hole to inter him. He was so crooked, he could just be screwed into the ground. I wonder what Honest Abe would think about today’s Republican Party. Since President Trump took office, he has lied more […]

Destroying the Constitution
President Trump seeks out alliances with the enemies of freedom while insulting and alienating America’s longtime allies. He cozies up to Russia (which I see as perpetrating an act of war since Russia infiltrated the foundation of this nation — free elections), China, North Korea, Saudi Arabia and Syria. He has openly expresses admiration for […]

U.S. is no longer home of the free
The current immigration scene is not what the U.S. is all about. This country was created by immigrants. No one, including the heinous, benighted president, is without an immigrant in his or her background; even Native Americans are descended from Asian immigrants. A recent headline claimed that President Trump and the GOP lawmakers were working […]

Leading the way with RCV
I want to congratulate the volunteers and voters of Maine who make the state’s motto, “Dirigo,” a reality. Maine truly leads the way in helping people realize the true meaning of the word democracy — a representative government for all people. Ranked-choice voting is far from a liberal “conspiracy” or “a secret agreement to carry […]

Laws are there for a reason
Is the United States a country of laws? If I, as an American citizen, would have taken my two children, when they were younger, on a crime spree and broke into someone’s home, stole food, took money from draws and got arrested, I would have been put in jail. My children would have been taken […]

Collins mistaken about Sessions
I find it interesting that Sen. Susan Collins decries the practice of separating children from their parents as these families flee horrors in their homelands and struggle to find a new life here. Collins is responsible for this program. She voted Jeff Sessions into the job as attorney general. She testified at Sessions’ confirmation hearing. […]

Important to be honest
I don’t know who the person was who took my nice wooden box with handles Tuesday, June 19, at the Great Falls Auburn Post Office. I am dismayed at their actions. I called the Post Office within 8-10 minutes after I forgot it and left it there, but it was gone. It would have taken […]

Fear is a mighty enemy
What a sad day when school officials cancel all planned field trips because of one tragic accident. It has impacted everyone — family, friends, school mates, etc. — but why add to the anxiety level of students/parents by going that route? Is the lesson taught here by the superintendent that students should now be afraid […]

Illegal immigration
Illegal immigration has become an emotional issue in the media. If America is a nation of laws, citizens should obey them. If they are not good laws, they should be changed. Many regulations and rules have the force of law. Several cities and states call themselves sanctuaries. That means officials arrest illegals who perform criminal […]

'Let them meet my wall'
Children along Mexico’s border are being torn from their parents’ arms and housed in detention centers, some with cages or cells. I have two children, whose well-being I care for deeply, as many other parents do, as well. How many people, if living in a dangerous country where their sons were constantly being approached by […]
