Attorney General Janet Mills worked hard to protect the rights and wishes of Maine voters for the past eight years. She has fought valiantly and successfully against the governor, who wreacked havoc in his reign. He continues to deny the will of the people. If elected, Mills would see that the people’s wishes (passed by […]

Catholic Church welcomes immigrants
The Catholic Church is consistent and forthright in support of migrants and refugees, calling on all the faithful to welcome and protect them. In the Nativity story, the holy family became refugees when they fled to Egypt to escape Herod’s slaughter of the innocents. In the Book of Exodus, the tribe of Israel flees Egypt […]

Heaven help the U.S.
President Donald Trump has proven to have many frailties and fallibilities. There has been some discussion about Trump having a narcissistic personality disorder, which is described as a “pervasive pattern of grandiosity, need for admiration and lack of empathy.” It means a person with the disorder must have his own needs met before the needs […]

Support for Green Dot movement
We have recently seen violence on American streets in several communities — violence initiated by white supremacists who would like an all white nation. They are opposed to Jews, blacks and all immigrants. I was pleased to read in the Sun Journal about the “Green Dot” movement (Aug. 16). Green Dot is a nationally recognized […]

President Trump is a liar
The president’s son, son-in-law and as many as six others met with a Russian attorney in June 2016, supposedly to gather “dirt” on Hillary Clinton. When told of the meeting, Trump Jr. is reported to have said “I love it.” That would have given inappropriate and possibly illegal advantage to Donald Trump in the election. […]

Trump a flawed individual
I was watching and listening to Donald Trump at a campaign-style rally in Nashville, Tennessee, on March 15. I noticed how happy and alive he seemed in front of his adoring followers. I couldn’t help but realize how unhappy and unnatural he seems in the White House. How often he seems to prefer going to […]

A legacy of the past; a future in doubt
President Barack Obama’s legacy includes: • Reduced the unemployment rate from more than 9 percent to 4.6 percent; • Worked diligently to make progress on the environment and climate change; • Made progress on immigration as exemplified locally with immigrants from six countries at Lewiston High School who won the 2015 state soccer championship. They […]

Cain will deliver more to Maine
Emily Cain served 10 years in the Maine Legislature. She says that she saw too many of her peers leave the state to find work. She intends to change that by attracting more jobs to the state of Maine. She will deliver far more to Mainers than Bruce Poliquin’s undistinguished accomplishments during the past two […]

Trump’s personality disorder
In response to Cornelius Swanton (July 29), I am not a “bleeding heart liberal.” I am a retired licensed clinical social worker who has worked with psychiatric patients for approximately 50 years. The diagnosis of narcissistic personality disorder would seem appropriate for Donald Trump. Many others have come to the same conclusion. He has a […]
