Why does anyone vote for a candidate from the Democratic Party anymore? Do people really believe the Democratic Party is by and for the people? Nothing could be further from the truth. All people have to do is look at one issue and it explains everything — the Democratic Party does not trust it own […]

Make America great again?
“Nellie the Circus Elephant packed her trunk and said goodbye to the circus. Off she went with a trumpety trump, trump trump trump.” That’s from a children’s song by Mandy Miller. I can’t think of a more appropriate theme song for Donald Trump’s campaign circus, especially since it is a child’s song, and the Trumpster’s […]

Support education spending
I have heard and read that the Maine Department of Education might be providing less funding for schools this year. Why is that? Education is very important today. Industrial technology is changing so fast that today’s students need all the education they can get. What do state officials want? To go back to one-room schoolhouses […]

Is Donald Trump a narcissist?
Donald Trump has become a fascinating political figure and, indeed, may become the next president. He is apparently “loved” and adored by some, hated and reviled by others. It appears that he is an anathema to many Republicans and Democrats alike. The DSM-IV Diagnostic Criteria of the American Psychiatric Association discusses the categories of mental […]

Establishment picking on Trump
I am so ashamed of the Republican Party and its nasty tactics trying to defame Donald Trump. Members of the old guard are very scared of losing control. They are getting so desperate and they are acting like spoiled, nasty brats. Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio and Mitt Romney are the party’s attack dogs. The old […]

Re-invigorating Lewiston’s downtown
As I sit in my office and look out at Michael Lachance’s “onion” (Sun Journal, March 1), I imagine the new life that Bates Mill No. 5 will take on when completed. After all, the building was designed to employ hundreds, back in the day, and, by all appearances, Tom Platz’s new development will do […]

We need a visionary candidate
It is true that Washington is broken, but America needs to take a deep breath. During the past seven years, the U.S. Constitution has been under siege by President Obama. Much has been said about his refusal to act appropriately on crime, tax policy, downsizing government, support for the military, support for law enforcement, well-paying […]

Hillary Clinton doesn’t tell the truth
I find it incredibly ironic that Dave Griffiths, in his letter to the editor (March 2), disparages one of the GOP candidates for president as a serial liar, while inferring my support for that candidate. I don’t presume to know to whom he is referring, but I do know who is the actual serial liar […]

Bates Mill comments insulting
This is in response to the article on Bates Mill No. 5 (March 1). The comments from Lewiston officials, “… this building was born ugly…” and “… an onion …” that smells? Really? What about all the jobs folks were given back then, making the bricks, and all the folks working in that mill? Lewiston […]

Racial belligerence everywhere
It is clear to me that Gov. Paul LePage is a racist. Having said that, may I add that so am I and so, probably, is anyone reading this. It is almost impossible to grow up in America without absorbing the atmosphere of racism that is all around us. However, I am a repentant racist. […]
