After President Donald Trump’s embarrassing press conference Wednesday, it brought to mind a couple of pivotal scenes from the movie, “The Godfather.” Trump pointed out candidates who did not want “the embrace” — similar to when people filed in to see Don Corleone and kissed his ring as a sign of submission. However, in reality, […]

Wake up before it is too late
Where are the Republicans and Democrats with a backbone? The silence from them is deafening. After Paul Manafort’s and Michael Cohen’s court appearances, I was hoping someone, anyone, would have the courage to tell it like it is.

I am suffering from Donald Trump fatigue. It seems not a day goes by that he says or does something stupid. Guess he never heard the saying “loose lips sink ships.” What a blabbermouth. If there isn’t any recording equipment in Trump’s office, maybe it should be installed so the public can know what he’s […]

Good riddance
Gov. Paul Lepage said on a radio interview that the tax surcharge on the wealthy would force him to move out of the state. I say, good riddance! He has been nothing but an embarrassment to this state and has accomplished nothing. Gail Beaucage, Lewiston
