The Kavanaugh confirmation hearing by the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee was described by Sen. John Kennedy, R-Louisiana, as an “Intergalactic freak show.” Good description for what people have seen so far. Some Democratic members were shameful and showed how low they will go to prevent a constitutionalist judge from being confirmed to serve on the […]

An end to student debt?
I write in response to a Sun Journal story (May 12) about Bates students protesting about student debt. Their call for an end to student debt is hard to understand or accept. I was disappointed in both the shallowness of their thoughts and the limits of the article. A college education is a commodity to […]

Shameful attitude toward president
The hatred expressed toward President Donald Trump, displayed so viciously by so many pundits, leftists and the media, is very alarming. It is shameful, and it is very divisive. President Trump, himself, has provided many reasons to dislike him. Dislike is one thing, but vicious hate and assassination talk are quite another. It all started […]

Trump did the right thing
The hysteria from the left as a result of President Trump exiting the Paris climate accord is absurd. Everything they say is anti-Trump and hardly a word in support of the agreement. President Trump took the U.S. out of the accord because: • The American taxpayers would have been on the hook for $3 trillion […]

Trump presidency means job growth
The winner of the first presidential debate is America. While neither candidate was able to sway voters, according to polls and focus groups, Donald Trump was able to hang in there and did not implode (in spite of moderator Lester Holt’s inappropriate questions and comments). Trump probably cemented the support of many of his “deplorables”and […]

Democrats’ knee-jerk reaction
It was a sorry, sorry spectacle to see more than 200 members of Congress (all Democrats) conducting a “sit-in” to protest Republicans’ non-support of gun control measures. The Democrats’ hypocrisy in blaming guns instead of terrorists after every shooting is predictable. They are not trying to save lives or provide solutions. They will continue to […]

In rebuttal: Support for Planned Parenthood misplaced
?The guest column (Oct. 11) by Sen. Dawn Hill and Rep. Sara Gideon was not very accurate and left a lot unsaid about Planned Parenthood. First off, abortion for health reasons or for birth control is one thing. Partial birth abortions and harvesting post-abortion baby parts for sale is quite another. Opposing the latter horribly […]

H. Kenney: There is a price to be paid
George Jones misses much in his letter to the editor (June 30). Republican governors are also running deficits. Gov. Bobby Jindal (a GOP presidential hopeful) has made a colossal mess of his state’s budget and, as a result, Louisiana may run its largest deficit in history. Former Gov. Rick Perry of Texas (also a GOP […]

G. Jones: A corrupt government
“Is there anybody here who can play this game??” asked Casey Stengel, manager of the New York Mets some years ago after a dismal losing streak. Today, Stengel’s question would be “Is there anybody in our government who can do their job?” Consider some of the recent crises and examples of corruption: • The CDC’s […]

G. Jones: Obamacare a disaster
Douglas Rooks’ column (Aug. 10) praising the ACA (Obamacare), saying it exceeded expectations, was a great example of how people form opinions and try to influence others using only information that supports their agenda.? The ACA is a well known disaster and it is really disappointing that Rooks would use the increase in number of […]
