Hillary Clinton asked how low political discourse could go. The question arose as a result of the Democratic National Committee’s exploitation of Mr. and Mrs. Khizr Khan, whose heroic son, Humayun Khan was killed fighting for his country in Iraq. The DNC took advantage of the family’s obvious grief for sole purpose of launching a […]

What’s with repeat offenders?
I have seen and been reading about how more and more people are going to jail, and it seems like for any reason at all. I don’t know the percentage of those who are repeat offenders, but from what I see and read, none of them really want to go back to prison. So, knowing […]

Which one is less corrupt?
I checked out the movie trailer of “Hillary’s America” and was shocked to discover how corrupt the government is. The biased social media never tell the public. As for Donald Trump’s faux pas regarding the Army captain killed in Iraq — I believe he owes Capt. Khan’s family, veterans and the country a sincere apology. […]

Keep Trump out of the White House
Though no fan of Hillary Clinton, I intend to vote for her in November in order to do my bit in keeping that barking hairball on stilts, Donald Trump, out of the White House. Before HBO’s Bill Maher said it, I thought it: Trump best compares to actor/comedian Andrew Dice Clay — though I’ll admit […]

What is good for Maine folks
Gov. Paul LePage has always bragged that he is not a politician, that he is a businessman. One of his political peeves mentioned in the story (July 28) concerning his recent forum in Paris was the minimum wage referendum. He claimed that the increase to $12 per hour by 2020 would put Marden’s and other […]

Make the distinction
This is in response to Cornelius Swanton’s letter, “Clinton voters are uninformed” (July 29). What needs to be made clear is that the person most uninformed today is not so much the voters, it is, far more critically, Donald Trump himself. As example, when asked a question on an issue of which he has little […]

Trump faces tough adversary
Donald Trump decimated all 15 of his foes during the GOP primaries; however, he now faces a much bigger adversary — the elitist-controlled mainstream media and all of the shills controlled by the elitists. The primary cabal of the elitists is the Bilderberg Group. However, another powerful player making United States’ policy is the Israeli/Jewish […]

Brakey surpassed expectations
Maine state Sen. Eric Brakey has been a breath of fresh air in the Maine Legislature. He is principled, honest and an incredibly hard worker. In 2014, I cast my vote for him and expected great things, but he has surpassed even my expectations during the past two years. From welfare reform, to holding government […]

Ranked-choice voting will work
Ongoing presidential campaign drama obscures other election issues important to our democracy. One issue up for a vote in November is referendum Question 5, which would return majority rule to the election of Maine’s governor, state and federal legislators. Referendum Question 5, An Act to Establish Ranked-choice Voting, addresses a current weakness in those election […]

Water agreement good for Rumford
As a Poland Spring employee and Rumford native, I wanted to personally respond to Jon Starr’s letter (July 6). Like Starr, I want what is best for Rumford. I grew up in Rumford. I will always care about my hometown and the folks who live there. Poland Spring has been a wonderful company to work […]
