It is just natural for parents to want to protect their children from harm. We take medicine in order to protect ourselves from certain ailments and diseases. Horses are given protection by being corralled to keep them from straying. A house is built with walls and a roof to protect its inhabitants from the elements. […]

The real issue is hate
For 20 years, I promoted February as Black History Month and held dozens of civil rights rallies with the children I worked with through the inner-city ministry The Jesus Party. I must say, though, that all the promotion of Black Lives Matter really gets under my skin — and I am not talking about my […]

Hillary warrants reprimand
Hillary Clinton likely to be cleared of wrongdoing in passing classified information via her personal server while Secretary of State? If that happens, it insults every veteran and service member of the military branches ever tasked as custodian of their unit’s classified material and being responsible for its security and leaves the level of the […]

Soon, employers did not have enough income to pay workers the wages and benefits the workers demanded, plus buy needed materials to keep the companies productive. As a result, many […]

Want another recession?
When Donald Trump announced he was running for president, the two things I heard the most was, first, that he was using his own money. I now hear that he is asking for donations, so that isn’t his own money. The second thing I heard the most was that the reason people are voting for […]

Brakey is my choice

I have been waiting for legislators to enact laws that will make a real change. Sen. Eric Brakey did what he promised, successfully passing real […]

Support Stand Up For Children
I taught for 28 wonderful years and have been retired for 26 years. I am asking for a “yes” vote on Question 2, Stand Up For Children on Nov. 8. The state of Maine school subsidy has never met the 55 percent level that was voted for many years ago. It is time that the […]

The evidence was there against Hillary
The Constitution says we are all equal under the law. It is apparent that some are more equal than others. A legal opinion by attorney Ben Shapiro follows: Under 18 U.S. Code 793 grossly negligent handling of classified material is a criminal offense. “The law does not require intent. However, a level of intent required […]
