Interview with Jerry Leeman: Today we bring you a story about a handful of fishermen rallying against a billion-dollar green industrial project, shady foreign corporations, and our own federal and state government. All are conspiring to generate a cash cow for…
Our founding fathers are a genius or had insight into the future of America not wanting to repeat history of persecution and no freedom of Europe. They seem to know back 250 years ago how wicked government and Democrats and Marxism can be. So to prevent this they…
In “Useful Idiots”, Michael Ozga makes a disingenuous argument, misuses the term, and misses the point. Perhaps Mr. Ozga could tell us, first, what political agenda is not “tax & spend”? Taxing and spending is what governments do. Ozga…
Dear Editor: As Argentina’s new government administration moves to reverse a debilitating history of progressive socialism by means of populist policy changes, could America be headed in the opposite direction? Growing revelations of foreign exploitation of our open…
Dear Editor: Many persons of liberal persuasion seem to relish condemning America for its historical experience with slavery. Their virtuous posture fails to recognize a corresponding present-day reality of reliance on others to perform lower-paying tasks demeaned by…

While these letters are meant for Maine, in general they may have value elsewhere, across the late United States of America, perhaps beyond. The intended purpose is to post educational, or at minimum, entertaining “letters” that have been written as part…
There are no more New Worlds. Consider the original “Brexit,” if you will, conceived and executed back in the mid-to-late 18th century. The United States of America, in a revolution born from the chaos of desperation and reaction, effectively severed ties with her…
The last two weeks, I and many others have participated in our democracy with numerous visits to our State Capitol in Augusta. The purpose was to lobby against LD 1619. The hope and prayers of making a difference and possibly changing at least one Democrat’s…
“Birds of a feather flock together.” Are human beings supposed to be any different? All Americans have the same rights, one of which is the freedom to satisfy their preferences. Isn’t that why many big cities have Chinatowns, French Quarters, Black…
What can be done to overcome the divisiveness of incompatible political party platforms and posturing? The answer lies is growing public awareness that one or the other is not working to the benefit of most Americans. Our exemplary 247-year tradition as a civilized…
