The attempt by an out-of-state dreamer to start a new version of Maine’s once-popular liberal weekly has apparently gone up in smoke. “This fundraiser is no longer accepting donations,” David Lide announced on his GoFundMe campaign page. Lide had tried to relaunch the former weekly newspaper by incorporating the venture not in Maine but in
There’s a bill slithering through Augusta that reveals — unintentionally — why Gov. Janet Mills and her cabinet of Democrat Party loyalists have allowed Maine’s procurement process to become an unsupervised, non-competitive, non-transparent free-for-all. In case you’ve missed it, State Auditor Matt Dunlap has revealed in his 2024 audit report that Maine’s procurement process—that is
“Truly I say to you, today you shall be with Me in Paradise.” — Luke 23:43 Recent news flashes about convicted murderers in Maine prisons seeking special accommodations for their transgender needs play to a broader theme in both state and national news, but they also miss an important point. April, the month when Christians
A female surgeon who proudly helped shatter the military glass ceiling did so while surreptitiously closeting gay women such as herself. But that concealed part of the Owls Head physician’s life is conveniently missing from a whitewashed new Smithsonian magazine takeout on the “progressive” medical doctor. The real tale of Barbara Stimson M.D., the “brave”
Maine’s Office of New Americans is a state sanctioned cabal of non-governmental organization gate keepers and Diversity, Equity and Inclusion radicals. The Office was created under Hannah Pingree by order of Governor Janet Mills. Gov. Mills appointed its first Director, Tarlan Ahmadov, an Azeri nationalist who had all the trappings of an unregistered foreign agent.
Could Maine become the site of a radical uptick in black market tobacco sales? If the experience of a nearby state that got regulation wrong is any example, it certainly could. In addition to that, increased Maine taxes on tobacco products will likely drive sales across state lines, and hurt local businesses. The Massachusetts Multi-Agency
Maine is once again in the national spotlight – and not in a good way. Just as Alabama’s Democratic Gov. George C. Wallace made headlines in June of 1963 for standing in the schoolhouse door to defy orders from a federal judge to desegregate the all-white University of Alabama, our own Democratic Gov. Janet Mills
Not long ago, the Maine State Legislature’s Education Committee called on the Department of Education to explain declining performance of our state’s schools. When asked to characterize our back of the pack ranking on the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) scorecard for last year, one official told us the scores “were neither good nor
The New York Times, the official media organ for the Democratic National Committee and diehard Democratic voters, is sounding the alarm over internal chaos at ActBlue, the political fundraising juggernaut that has helped left-wing candidates and committees raise billions of dollars since its founding in 2004. According to the bombshell report released Wednesday, the powerhouse
Robinhood’s merry band of men took from the rich and gave to the poor, any extra time spent on archery. Maine’s Democrats take from the poor and give to China – extra time just spinning. Seriously, Governor Mills and Augusta Democrats must think we are stupid, and just aren’t paying attention.Having increased and nearly doubled
Maine’s Democrat Governor is, it seems, a demagogue. Why? Demagogues make dramatic, untrue statements for personal gain, knowing what they say is untrue. Gov. Mills is that person, raising money for a Senate bid by attacking Trump for defending the law, Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, and Maine girls. Is it not
When your city has a “sustainability director” on the payroll, you can only guess what comes next. How about a ban on gas leaf blowers? In this case, it was South Portland, Maine, where a taxpayer backlash to the proposal finally killed it. In the face of widespread resident opposition, the council reversed its planned
Before Vice President JD Vance took the stage at the Munich Security Conference, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was taking a beating by the commentariat for his own remarks in Europe before the Ukraine Contact Group. “We must start by recognizing that returning to Ukraine’s pre-2014 borders is simply unrealistic,” Secretary Hegseth told the shocked assembly
Democrats Are Wrong on Title IX – Girls Matter“Facts are stubborn things,” said Ronald Reagan, quoting his early predecessor John Adams. Maine Democrats and activists in the former Biden Administration are simply wrong about sex and gender. This is not a value statement. While the Bible and history corroborate facts, it is pure biology. When
By choosing the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) as its first target for demolition, Elon Musk’s DOGE made a savvy political decision. While the federal government’s gravy train of spending largesse usually has a beneficiary somewhere in America, USAID doesn’t — the foreign aid bureaus clients are mainly a group of “Beltway bandits,” or
In 2014, I moved my family from the heart of Washington, D.C. to Falmouth, Maine. I grew up in Portland throughout much of the 1970s and 1980s but had not lived full-time in Maine since 1989. The reasons for coming back were simple: safe communities, low cost of living, and strong public schools for my
