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...

In this episode of the Pastor’s Office Podcast, Travis sits down with Pastor Corey Kilgus — founder of Gospel South America — for one of the most remarkable testimonies of God’s grace you’ll ever hear. Corey grew up in a home shattered by heroin and methamphetamine addiction, ran away starving at 11, and at 14
It was only a matter of time before Graham’s exes started telling tales out of school – including the pie-plate caper. “You’ll be shocked to learn that Graham Platner’s ex-lovers are now coming out of the woodwork,” said Steve Robinson, editor in chief of The Maine Wire For instance: “I very briefly was talking to
5/31/26Graham Platner & Shenna Bellows RallyDeering Oaks, Portland, Maine. I was operating on home turf. Deering Oaks is trying very hard to remain neutral. Ducks glide across the pond, a jogger sprints in the distance, unaware of the political shift about to occur. I step into the perimeter. Staff clocks me immediately. A staffer shakes
The top two Boston sports radio nets are taking out all the stops to try to attract ratings. It’s an eclectic mix, for sure. On the one hand is 98.5’s host Christopher Gasper reporting on having prostate cancer. On the other is 93.7’s Meghan Ottolini complaining about the price of gas on her way to
Seven in ten of the state’s “liberals” just unapologetically voted for a guy who: √ Has a Nazi tattoo √ Called cops bastards√ Said black people don’t tip √ Deacribed rural Mainers as stupid √ Suggested rape victims get what they deserve √ Accused a soldier of stupidity by surviving gunfire √ Sexted women online
AUGUSTA, Maine – As Maine’s June 9 primary comes to a close, campaign signs have once again become a familiar part of the political landscape. They are posted along roadsides, clustered at intersections, planted in front yards, and lined up near polling locations. For voters, the signs can feel like little more than political wallpaper.
A pair of socialist candidate recruiters had their eyes on an alternative to Graham Platner when they began looking for a good suspect to run against five-term U.S. GOP Sen. Susan Collins. Yale Law School grad Daniel Moraff and his fiancé, Leanne Fan, an academic with stints at Harvard and the proudly radical University of
In this episode of the Pastor’s Office Podcast, Travis sits down with elder and ministry leader Jordan Cross (Chief of Staff, Great Commission Ministries) to tackle one of the most urgent problems facing the modern church: the rise of consumer Christianity, church shopping, and a generation that’s deeply resistant to spiritual authority. Jordan opens up
By Jon Fetherston There was a time in American politics when character mattered. Not perfection. Not ideological purity. Not whether someone made mistakes in life. Americans have always believed in redemption. But voters also once believed there were certain lines that could not be crossed by people seeking high office. Today, apparently, even those lines
Maine’s embattled presumptive Democrat nominee for U.S. Senate discussed buying cocaine in Reddit posts and admitted drug use while backpacking during paid military leave, Washington Free Beacon reports. Graham Platner, in since-deleted posts from 2020, recalled his travels through Europe just before leaving the Marine Corps in 2008. “I was making a pretty penny doing
By Timothy Reiniger As a former elected Chairperson of the Cape Elizabeth Town Council, I am pleased to support Jonathan Bush in the Republican primary to become the next Governor of Maine. My endorsement is grounded not in party loyalty but in a clear-eyed assessment of what Maine’s Medicaid (MaineCare) crisis demands — and in
A Miss Portland Diner customer shockingly found a surveillance camera in the eatery run by the top dog at Maine’s largest newspaper. Cheyenne Farrell says she found the cam hidden in the women’s bathroom, according to WGME-TV. Portland Police are investigating the creepy discovery in the diner owned by Stefanie Manning. Manning runs the diner
PORTLAND, Maine — In case you missed it, Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Graham Platner is not just having a bad week. He is having the kind of campaign meltdown that makes even seasoned political operatives reach for the exits. Platner, the progressive oyster farmer and military veteran trying to unseat U.S. Sen. Susan Collins, has
Maine Wire editor-in-chief Steve Robinson says the sexy texts won’t amount to a hill of beans for the Democrat golden boy who can do no wrong in the eyes of his sycophants. The wife of the leading Democrat in the U.S. Senate primary found sexual texts to women on his phone, according to a report
Editor’s note: My apologies for not posting this on Memorial Day, but remembrance and thanks to those who “paid the ultimate price” is timeless.
By Jon Fetherston Shenna Bellows wants to be governor of Maine. That ambition carries a simple question: Why should Maine people trust her with even more power? Is it because she respects voters? Because she values fairness? Because she believes ordinary Mainers deserve a voice in the decisions that affect their families, schools and daughters?
Mike Vrabel skated through what was supposed to be a full-blown news conference Wednesday as not one alleged reporter asked one tough question. Podcaster Tony Farmer, who has been leading the nation’s media in aggressively covering Vrabel’s affair with ex-NFL reporter Dianna Russini, wasn’t surprised by the pathetic lack of journalistic curiosity. Farmer arguably is
By Neil Harper of the Maine Wire I drive into the Fighting Oligarchy Tour at Thompson’s Point featuring Bernie Sanders, Graham Platner, and Troy Jackson. I park next to a man in a truck I had seen before at a previous Graham rally. He’s eating a sandwich. Meat and mustard fall from his mouth into
Two peas in a pod, as they say. In one corner, U.S. Senate Democrat candidate Graham Platner, who once said some women invite rape. In the same corner, U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-VT, who once publicly fantasized about rape. Platner invited Sanders on Sunday to headline a political rally for him in Bangor. “On our
The state’s leading northern-Maine paper’s annual report shows an anemic following – far behind The Maine Wire – despite an advantage in legacy and workforce size. Graham Pollard, who is The Maine Wire’s digital media editor, compared Bangor Daily News’ readership to the Wire’s. Pollard’s source for Bangor’s following comes from its so-called 2025-2026 “Impact
Hannah Pingree apparently just woke up and suddenly realized she’s about to lose the Democrat primary for governor. Pingree on Saturday came out smoking – but not against her Democrat opponents. No, she came out with a Facebook post attacking Bobby Charles, the leading GOP primary candidate. “This guy’s bigotry has no place in Maine
Janet Mills leaving her name on the ballot while pretending to quit the race is the oldest dirty trick in the world. Democrat Gov. Janet Mills is having her cake and eating it too. To wit, even though Mills claimed recently to be quitting her U.S. Senate primary bid, it’s just an act. Mills intentionally
After two weeks and more than 10,000 votes, Boston.com readers have crowned New England’s top suntanning enclave in its Battle of New England Beach Towns bracket – Ogunquit, Maine. “From an original bracket of 32 towns spanning five states, the contest ultimately ended in a Maine battle between Ogunquit and Bar Harbor during the championship
Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows, who couldn’t even manage a plate rollout, has announced her new political bedfellow – public-bathroom masturbator-in-chief Graham Platner. “So glad to have Graham on my team!” the Democrat gubernatorial hopeful says on Facebook. “Together we’re going to usher in a new chapter for a progressive and affordable Maine!” Notwithstanding
Graham Platner wants to be a United States Senator. That alone should require judgment, discipline, character, and basic moral fitness. Instead, Maine voters are being asked to ignore a growing list of disturbing controversies, obscene comments, bizarre behavior, and disqualifying lapses in judgment, all because the radical socialist arm of today’s Democratic Party has decided
If we continue as we have been, the prospect of our children living shorter, less healthy lives than we do is a real possibility.
Democrat U.S. Senate candidate Graham Platner’s father paid for him and his wife to receive fertility treatments in Norway, according to a new report. When Platner and wife Amy Gertner did a campaign commercial six months ago saying they were going to Norway for affordable reproductive treatments, they never disclosed they weren’t paying for them.
Nirav Shah has just begun running a campaign commercial advising Maine residents to worry about a pandemic 7,000 miles away. The obvious question is what does this have to do with … Maine? The obvious answer is absolutely nothing. Maybe Shah is trying to bring attention to his wholly incompetent management of a pandemic in
The Portland Press Herald, which over 165 years built a dominance to become Maine’s media king, may now be on the road to no return. The Maine Wire has not only overtaken the state’s largest newspaper in a critical audience metric – it has built an unstoppable lead while the Press Herald hemorrhages money, lays
The atmosphere at a youth ball game is usually a soundtrack of summer: the crack of the bat, the enthusiastic chants of the players, and the calming hum of the crowd enjoying their day off as the warm breeze blows the black flies away just enough to bearably watch the children play. But, when you
By Lisa Keim – Oxford County Commissioner, District 2 Like many of you, I look around Maine today and barely recognize parts of it. The change hasn’t been subtle—it’s been sweeping. And for many of us, it hasn’t just been economic or political; it’s been personal. The fallout from heavy-handed COVID mandates still lingers, leaving
“Help out, Mainers! What’s the BEST lobster roll for @VP? JD Vance wants to know where to get the best lobster roll.” That’s the challenge Rep. Laurel Libby, R-Auburn, posted Thursday on X looking for a good roll to feed Vice President Vance during his Maine visit. Some of the recommendations: √ “Bayley’s lobster pound
“We the People.” Those are not just the first three words of the United States Constitution. They are the foundation of the American experiment. They are a declaration that power in this country does not flow from a king, a ruling class, a bureaucracy, or a political machine. It flows from us. That is the
The Republican vice president ventured into Maine’s purple congressional district Thursday at an embarrassing cost to the state’s liberal “journalists.” “We’ve got biased reporters in all states. It’s OK. Trust me, I can handle it,” J.D. Vance told a pro-GOP crowd as they shouted down ‘alleged’ questions from a TV guy. During a trip to
Vice President JD Vance, welcome to Maine. Thank you for coming! Thank you for acknowledging what too many elected officials, bureaucrats, and legacy media outlets have tried to ignore: Maine has a fraud problem, and it is not small. For years, taxpayers have been forced to fund a broken system while politically protected operators, questionable
BANGOR, Maine – As Maine’s 2026 governor’s race heats up, one issue continues to loom over Augusta: MaineCare fraud, improper payments, overbilling, weak oversight, and whether taxpayer dollars are being protected. On Friday, WVOM’S The Maine’s Morning News with Ric Tyler and Paul Wolfe asked why Democratic candidates for governor are not being pressed harder
When Theo Von recently opened his Bible on his podcast and read John 5 — Jesus asking the lame man, “Do you want to be healed?” — he admitted on camera, “I think I want a new story.” In this episode, Pastor Travis and his wife Maddi react to that clip and respond with their
The Portland Press Herald actually thinks it’s in the news business. With a blaring headline Wednesday night the paper wrote: “Susan Collins discloses medical condition“ Talk about the obvious. The paper was so proud of itself it boasted that Collins “said in a statement to the Press Herald Wednesday evening” she has a tremor. The
Barney Frank, reprimanded as a congressman after hiring and then living with a male prostitute, now is giving Democrats advice? A terminally-ill formerly sanctioned Massachusetts congressman and first openly-gay federal lawmaker is now scolding fellow Maine liberals for picking the wrong U.S. Senate candidate. “I am concerned that some of my party have chosen the
By Neil Harper I was walking off a small ceremony shoot on a beach in Wells, Maine, photographing a young bride and groom eager to begin their lives together. And as soon as they were out of sight, I began to dart— I hurtled myself toward that parking lot, throwing myself into my car.Camera landing
The Democrat Party of late has found a convenient excuse for losing – senility. The leftists did it with Biden and they’re now doing it with Janet Mills. But in reality it’s not old age that killed Biden and Maine’s two-term governor. It’s their policies. Age is just a cheap distraction from open borders, crime,
Maine-born Jordon Hudson has captured top honors from her latest cheerleading contest, cheered on by ‘WAG’ Bill Belichick. Downeast-Maine’s Hudson, 25, is still young enough to flex into the most-challenging cheerleading contorts, while ex-Pats coach Bill 74, can only dream… Belichick was there by her side, however old his gal-pal’s flexible follies made him feel.
“Welcome thy stranger.” “Love thy neighbor.” Those are the words Maine Democrats like to repeat, until the person asking questions works for The Maine Wire. That is the reality of Maine politics in 2026. This reporter has been removed from or blocked at so many Democratic events that it has become difficult to keep count.
Angus King III proved during the first key statewide Democrat primary pivotal televised debate he doesn’t have Daddy’s killer instincts. Unfortunately the younger King needed a moment – one that could have reaped him huge headlines as well as proving he’s no Mama’s boy but as smart as Daddy, he being U.S. Sen. Angus King
You can hold off for just so long, but as Peter with his finger in the dike learned, the dam, responding to the laws of physics, will slowly erode and eventually give way. Similarly, Ayn Rand often liked to say, “Reality is the final arbiter.” Recent events suggest we may be witnessing this manifestation among
After Portland Press Herald writer Steve Collins admitted earlier this week he had lied about fellow Democrat Janet Mills, he’s got gall complaining about The Maine Wire. Collins in his latest creative-writing exercise calls the news outlet beating him like a drum “the state’s leading farm of racist and discriminatory content.” At least it has
When Charlie Kirk was assassinated on September 10, something began happening across America that nobody planned and nobody saw coming. Pastors who set out to host simple memorial services watched them turn into revivals. In one city, a church baptized 600 people in the fountain outside city hall. Young people who had never set foot
Not sure Graham Platner meant to say what he did by trying to praise Janet Mills as she exited stage left. “We both got into this race because we knew how critical defeating Susan Collins is,” Platner said in his campaign statement. “And her decision today reflects that commitment.” So it’s thank you Janet for
Outgoing Maine Gov. Janet Mills, who threw in the towel Thursday on her U.S. Senate dream, is looking for a sale on, aptly, towels. To wit, Janet said in her withdrawal statement she’s going to Reny’s. “While I am suspending active campaigning, I look forward to seeing you at a Reny’s,” Mills posted on her
The Maine governor’s political bedfellow over at the state’s largest paper just stuck a shiv in his good pal. Columnist Steve Collins, despite showering praise on Janet Mills as “courageous and compassionate,” offers his own albeit late confessional on what he really thinks of the woman who just quit her Senate campaign. Or more accurately
