“The way I’ve been trained to shoot the chest or the head, I was going to go for the head shot, but then I decided, ‘No, I don’t want to take this guy’s life’, so I shot him in the shoulder” (story, March 9). How incredibly refreshing to read Trevor Whitney’s thought processes while under […]

Shedding some light
Donald Trump is a bully, an uninformed dictator and, oh, the president. Are Americans so unconscious they don’t hear or see what he is doing? He is creating a dictatorship, just like his good friend Vladimir Putin. If you do not compliment him, it is off with your head — you’re fired. Trump has surrounded […]

What's wrong with this picture?
If you were president of the United States, would you: Skip intelligence briefings, but go ahead and approve a raid on Yemen? Absent yourself from the situation room while that raid was ongoing? Settle a lawsuit for $25 million and consider yourself innocent? Deny major news networks access to your press conferences? Turn your back […]

Secure the economy
Main Street’s bailout of Wall Street occurred less than one decade ago. Remember when investment bankers bundled sub-prime housing loans that were erroneously rated as AAA solid investments? Remember when it all came crashing down in 2008? Remember when so many people lost jobs, retirement funds or faced foreclosure when the variable rates kicked in? […]

Stop the hysteria
People of this free country are sick of their elected representatives not working together.

It is crazy that liberals’ love of power is so deep in their heads that they are out of control and […]

Representatives addicted to power
It is a very sad day when the realization hits home that Sens. Susan Collins and Angus King, along with Reps. Bruce Poliquin and Chellie Pingree and their fellow princes and princesses in their Washinton fiefdom, really believe that they are serving the best interests of “we the people.” The proof is in the results, […]
