I find it very peculiar that, in the beginning of the election processes, the media claimed that Donald Trump was nothing but a media hog, showoff and a big mouth. The media were wrong because the man went on to be a candidate for president. Then the media said that Trump had no substance and […]

Democrats, get over it
I have never seen such a bunch of crybabies as those Democrats who refused to attend President Donald Trump’s inauguration. They just can’t get over the beating they took. Well, the working people voted and Trump won. Get over it. I think President Trump will help this country more than the last three presidents did. […]

Trump’s predictions accurate
Donald Trump is more prophetic than most people realize. He is similar to Winston Churchill in that regard. He sees a threat that nobody else has the courage to talk about. Trump sees it with radical Islam; he sees it with the soaring national debt; and he sees it in America’s tinderbox of the inner […]

Trump sold out the nation
It was 1980 and I was stationed on an aircraft carrier in the Mediterranean. It was a time when military members were treated with scorn and disrespect by many Americans. I often wondered why I had even bothered to enlist when all it got me was low pay, sneers and belittlement. One day I took […]

No data to support claims
The Associated Press article, “2016 Hottest Year on Record” (Sun Journal, Jan. 19), was highly misleading. The article stated that NOAA claimed the average temperature in 2016 exceeded the previous year by 0.07 degrees; NASA, with equal confidence, claimed the difference is 0.22 degrees. Their claims for accuracy are unbelievable. The only way to extrapolate […]

Forget about a merger
The consolidation of Lewiston-Auburn — what is the real catalyst behind this endeavor, once again? Since the late 1800s, a certain group of folks have had that dream. They would strip away the identity as two vibrant, yet very different cities and make it one. Those people in favor of the merger say it is […]

ACA important to my health
The Affordable Care Act is in danger in Washington. The ACA isn’t perfect, but some provisions are life-saving for Mainers, who would otherwise be without health insurance and those with pre-existing conditions. The ACA is important to my health and my future coverage. I’m under 26; the ACA allows me to stay on my parents’ […]

Childhood lead poisoning
It is great news that the U.S Department of Housing and Urban Development has adopted a new rule lowering the acceptable blood level of lead poisoning in children who reside in federally owned or assisted housing. HUD had allowed an antiquated standard that was four times the level now recommended by the Center for Disease […]

Thank you, President Obama
I am writing to share how I feel about former President Barack Obama. I think that he is a good and decent man. He has always done his best to work across party lines for the interests of all Americans and this country. It is too bad that, from the start, Republicans refused to work […]

Democrats have lost credibility
It is almost too much to believe — the disrespect and hatred that Democrats are showing to this nation’s new president, Donald Trump. The Russians did it? I cannot imagine the outrage had people demonstrated one iota of such angst against President Barack Obama when he was elected. Democrats are hypocrites. They are hateful, mean, […]
