Let President Trump do his job
When I read the letter to the editor from Mary Jane Newell of Oxford (Jan. 24), I knew there’d be some backlash. Sure enough, Kevin Kimble from Lisbon responded with some sarcasm (Jan. 28), but also with great wit. He has my respect, and I thank him for his service. However, while Newell may have […]

U.S. showing lack of compassion
I am saddened and disheartened after reading the front-page article (“Pain, despair in Somali community,” Jan. 31) about Somali community members who are devastated by President Donald Trump’s despicable travel ban on refugees from seven predominately Muslim countries.

Somebody has to be out at all hours of the night grooming the trails. Somebody has to maintain the groomers. Somebody has to see that […]

What does Rep. Bruce Poliquin say?
Both of Maine’s senators have spoken out against the executive order blocking people from seven predominantly Muslim nations from entering the United States. But where is Rep. Bruce Poliquin? Supposedly, he represents the Lewiston Somali community, along with the rest of the Second District, but so far he has failed to step up and oppose […]

Survival as a nation in question
In 10 short days following the inauguration, the United States has relinquished its position as a world leader. While the Republican-controlled Congress sits idly by, this nation is slipping from a democracy to an autocracy, kleptocracy and oligarchy.
