In response to “Is Donald Trump a narcissist?” (March 8), Ronald Melendy, a licensed clinical social worker, poignantly describes the nine criteria of the American Psychiatric Association for diagnosing narcissist behavior. What is fascinating about the article, is the singling out of Donald Trump. Being vehemently disliked by many Republicans and Democrats alike is not […]

Following the Golden Rule
The Founding Fathers based the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution on the Biblical ideas of Judeo-Christian laws. This nation has been a Christian nation since its founding. Those fundamental documents were agreed upon and ratified and thus became the law of the land probably because the majority of U.S. citizens were moral individuals. […]

H-1B visa policy flawed
Donald Trump, in addition to the controversy over building a wall on the border with Mexico, caused another controversy recently when, according to a report by Fox News on March 3, he changed his position on H-1B visas during a debate. H-1B visas allow foreign workers with bachelor degrees in “specialty” occupations to work in […]

Ranked choice voting is the better way
Ranked-choice voting will be on the ballot in November. Voters are asked to approve a process to elect state officials by majority vote (more than 50 percent). The dictionary says that democracy is “government by the people; especially: rule of the majority.” It once was that way in the Maine Constitution for state Representatives, Senators […]

Party officials aren’t listening
The Republican Party has lost its way. No wonder Donald Trump is winning in the polls. The American people are speaking. Both parties should listen. Republican Party puppeteers hiding in the shadows pulled the strings and Mitt Romney danced. The same Mitt Romney who accepted campaign contributions from Donald Trump, who even had Trump make […]

Two of a kind
So, Gov. Paul LePage is backing Donald Trump. That is not a big surprise. They are two of a kind — big foul-mouthed blowhards. Trump thinks that he is never wrong and LePage will rarely admit that he might be wrong. People say that Washington, D.C., is broken. There is no doubt about it being […]

I have had it
All my life, I have followed presidential election races. The current one takes the cake. I have never seen such childish behavior coming from adults. The last debate was so outrageous that I finally came to the conclusion that I would no longer watch this year’s race. I no longer care to watch adults make […]

Applause for Unified Basketball
I have thoroughly enjoyed the coverage of the Unified Basketball League in the area high schools. I haven’t attended any games, but I have seen the photos in the Sun Journal and I have followed the results. I have a great appreciation for the efforts of these athletes, their partners, coaches, and for the schools […]

Stop the childish behavior
Why is this country divided and angry? Conservatives’ fear of change grew when a black president was elected. They saw that the number of non-white Americans is steadily growing and that white men may eventually lose some of their power. Religious fundamentalists fear atheists and all “different” religions. Fearful Americans obsess about other people’s private […]

Kudos to Kalle
I loved the article, “No Joke: Lewiston is cradle of champs!” by Kalle Oakes (March 7). His words are important and he articulated what many Lewiston natives feel. I had the honor of being a parent on the ice. As he wrote: “… tiptoed the slippery surface without a care in the world”… snapping pictures […]
