There are dark and odious clouds of lies hovering over the Donald Trump White House. Prayerfully, Robert Mueller has flashlights and plenty of batteries to help see through the muck and mire that has become the daily norm. In light of the recent National Day of Prayer: How many more of the Ten Commandments and […]

President is an embarrassment
The word “Trumpian” is now in our lexicon, whether we like it or not. For little more than a year, we continue to hear the president use campaign phrases when speaking through Twitter or in person. It is easy to predict his simpleton vocabulary, and one can complete his sentences without effort because he makes […]

Why are people so riled up?
All this First Amendment brouhaha about professional and non-professional sports players kneeling, standing with hand on heart, has me wondering. Will genuflecting, making the sign of the Cross, removing hats, wearing an ash mark on one’s forehead, pinning a colored ribbon on clothing, flying the rainbow and U.S flag, pointing up to the sky in […]

LePage's foot-in-mouth act
Here we go again — the governor can always be counted on to put his foot in his mouth. Some things in a safe, sane and cautious society must be regulated, that is what laws are for. I am sure that Gov. Paul LePage, regardless of being “tired of regulations” on society, did not realize […]

Shame on us
Regarding the handcuffing and detention of a black Bates College student, along with the current hatred for correct political reporting — shame on us as a nation. We are witnessing a steady decline in our collective conscience. In the 1980s, former First Lady Rosalynn Carter commented on “60 Minutes” that the then current Reagan administration […]

Shame on Gov. LePage
The Sun Journal had two stories March 29 that appear to be both draconian and schizophrenic. In one, Gov. Paul LePage was joking while “stiffing” waiters and waitresses out of one-half of their tip, asking them to beg for the other half. In the second story, LePage sought to “lock tougher welfare rules.” Is the […]

Remember Humpty Dumpty?
Things are not “fantastic,” or “great,” as our supreme leader would wish America to become. No single individual (except Jesus and perhaps Buddha) can make them so. Say this lie long enough and people will believe. Recently, I was able to speak about current events with two elderly women while at the grocery store. I […]

Start acting presidential
Now that Donald Trump is about to sit in the chair and take over the most powerful position in the world, I have to wonder if — regardless of his tweets, his gilded three-story apartment and the organized victory rally side-show caravan — does he understand the word compromise? So far it has been his […]

Words do matter
The recent diatribe surrounding the filthy, moronic and abhorrent words that seem to pour out of the mouths of the political candidates is not “only words.” It is more than that — it is crazy and shows how shallow American culture has become. Last time I checked, words are how most humans communicate. Please, if […]

A petulant child
This is in response to a front page story, “Democrats blast way LePage finds funding for bills” (June 28). Gov. Paul LePage seems to view himself as the decider when, in fact, he acts as if he were a petulant child — stomping his feet and wailing about how evil his adversaries are. His “my […]
