In the aftermath of numerous successful attempts in assassinating law enforcement officers, I am totally convinced that there is a serious epidemic of vengeful individuals committing unjustified terrorist attacks, many of which influenced by that cancer of evilness — ISIS. The United States has become a target of terrorists. The government has yet to come […]

Maine’s bombastic governor
The bullying tactics that Gov. Paul LePage has used and the damage he has caused to his relationship to the Legislature will prevent him from accomplishing his policy goals. His bombastic leadership style has long ago alienated Democrats and even some Republicans are fed up with his high-profile antics, squandering his political capital. His decision […]

R. Lacombe: U.S. ready to slide downhill
The United States doesn’t need another President Obama. Instead, the country should elect a candidate that will realize the need to bring God back in America, which would put an end to political dishonesty. Otherwise it will be very difficult to successfully regain America’s prosperity. The need to bring God back to America to hamper political […]

R. Lacombe: Downsize the government
The U.S. government should consider downsizing, in the same fashion as banks, retail establishments and other businesses, in order to keep up with inflation and avoid shutdowns. The government should have downsized during the early years of President Obama’s administration when it became obvious that change was inevitable. What a shame for America — a […]

R. Lacombe: Clinton cannot be trusted
Hillary Rodham Clinton is a master of deception with her ability to conceal the truth. She has been in the middle of many controversies and has raised suspicions about her credibility. Her present and past unethical involvements will have a tremendous impact on the voters now that she has finally decided (after two years of […]

R. Lacombe: No peace in our time
The anger and animosity continue in Ferguson, Mo., with a cowardly attack on two police officers March 12. I have to believe that it was connected to the fatal shooting of Michael Brown in August 2014 by a white police officer. That officer was not charged with any crime, but eventually resigned from the police […]

R. Lacombe: U.S. must defeat ISIS
Needless to say, it will be difficult to defeat ISIS as it continues to recruit young men and women to join its evil ranks while it escalates aggression to dominate the Middle East, causing hideous and repulsive butchery to humanity. The U.S. cannot take ISIS for granted because something tells me that they may already […]

R. Lacombe: Immigration policy a mess
President Obama’s possibly illegal executive order concerning immigration is an unjust use of authority. If it remains in force, it will contribute to a higher level of poverty in America. I do believe that illegal immigrants who are law-abiding and who have worked and established permanent residence in America should be given the opportunity to […]

D. Griffiths: I’d give Obama a C+
Robert Lacombe gave President Barack Obama an “F” in his Nov. 16 letter. As a former teacher, I prefer grading on a curve, to wit: • President George W. Bush left office with an economy hemorrhaging 700,000 jobs a month. Since then, the unemployment rate has fallen from 9.3 percent to 5.8 percent. • Dubya […]

R. Lacombe: Obama earns an ‘F’
In looking ahead to the presidential election in 2016, I wonder if the voters will remember how President Obama dragged America to the edge of a stinkhole, unable to make significant or knowledgeable decisions. When he is pressured into making decisions, he becomes confused and decides to postpone the agony instead. The Affordable Care Act […]
