The Dinner Table, a grassroots PAC created by Maine State Representative Laurel Libby (R-Auburn/ Minot) and activist Alex Titcomb, celebrates a tremendous Election Day victory. It did not involve a candidate but a petition initiative that has been the focus of The Dinner Table for nearly a year. The petition requests the placement of a … Read more
President Trump will cut off all federal support for offshore Wind on day one. There will be no more prop-ups, price supports, federal incentives, discounts, or grants. The Executive Branch will stop writing blank checks to Big Wind with your money. What does that mean for projects in the pipeline? What about all those leases … Read more
Maine is one of the dysfunctional states that uses ranked-choice voting, but that may be about to change. The incumbent Congressional Democrat in District Two didn’t win outright. The Secretary of State—the same one that tried to kick Trump off the ballot—says Jared Golden failed to get over 50% of the vote, and Ranked-Choice Voting … Read more
Much time and no amount of treasure will follow the steamrolling of wind farms into the (fragile) Gulf of Maine. The progressive whiners want what they want. And while there are many environmental reasons to slow down or stop, the biggest problem is … Well, this. I managed to take [Dr. Shahrar Ali] to task … Read more
In a little over a week, one of the development projects is being strong-armed and fast-tracked at the hands of New Hampshire’s ‘Developer Class,” and the politicians who aid and abet has its final meeting before the lease sale. The Gulf of Main Wind project. It is a ruling class bucket list project advocates want … Read more
The 18 lives lost in Lewiston, Maine, can’t be returned, but the political arguments never die. And while we mourn any needless loss of life, the world that took it is not an accident. Some people did something to borrow from the illustrious Ilhan Omar. Deliberate legal, social, and cultural choices made over years and … Read more
I’d never heard of this loser until today. His name is Misah Pride (sounds made up to me). He is the mayor of South Portland. It’s across the Fore River from North Portland. It is safer than the way Joyce Craig left Manchester, NH (most cities are), is mostly white, picked Biden over Trump in … Read more
I’m not sure if Bangor, Maine, has a Haitian population or an unusual number of homeless who heard the news in Springfield and decided to give it a try, but twenty domesticated house cats have gone missing, sixteen in just the last two months. Animal Control Officer for the Bangor Police Department Trisha Bruen told … Read more
The Biden Administration is in a mad rush to get offshore wind leases sold just in case Klimate Kamala blows it, loses in November, and the violent uprisings that would follow that don’t result in a change they can believe in. BOEM, the Bureau of Ocean and Energy Management, has announced the sale of leases … Read more
Today is my 1,400th article published and consecutive day writing, and I wish I had something more upbeat to opine on. Unfortunately, in these crazy upside-down times, we have much to be upset about, and positive stories are yearned for. The Chinese cartel illegal marijuana enterprise continues to evolve, and the two newest elements should … Read more
Former Democrat State Senator Jeff Woodburn has been back in the news for trying to dodge a 30-day stint in stir. That was not (it seems) enough drama for him. He took a little trip to Maine, where he coincidentally found himself within shouting distance of his former fiancé. The woman whose arm he bit, … Read more
Forty years ago, give or take, the State of Maine created a program whose purpose was to create a slush fund to provide legal services to people who could not afford them. Interest earned on Lawyer’s Trust fund accounts (IOLTA) is pooled, and the fund is dispersed to pay for lawyers fees. The Maine Justice … Read more
I was reviewing the headlines of the Maine newspapers this week, and two of them leaped off the screen at me because they were proof that the politicians in charge do not know what is happening. One detailed the millions of dollars Governor Mills was planning to spend to promote job opportunities to attract “racial, … Read more
I may be the only 70-year-old guy in America who has never taken an illegal drug. I remember when Bill Clinton proudly proclaimed he had never inhaled a joint, and I thought big deal, Bill, I have never even held one. I am not bragging or trying to put myself on a pedestal for never … Read more
Who will stand up for the people and the oceans? Who will show up for us? There is not enough data on what will become of our fragile Gulf of Maine if this is allowed. From the lobsters to the endangered Right Whales, it must be addressed, and it is not. All reps and senate … Read more
The NH commission on offshore wind meeting, before the federal BOEM takes over our Gulf of Maine, was inexplicably canceled when its chair, Sen. Watters, got wind, pun intended, that fishermen and concerned citizens would show up to voice their concerns.
Progressive politicians have taken over Maine and are making the most of their time in power. These people, who live on the extreme left of society, know that the clock is ticking, and they must initiate as much change as they can before the people realize they were wrong, giving these people the wheel and … Read more
Despite the collapse of the market, rising costs and prices, and the threat to wildlife, the powers that be are moving forward with offshore wind development off the coast of New Hampshire and Maine.
If you missed it, mostly-rural-Maine has succumbed to the electoral weight of its cities and Left a majority of Democrats running the political store. They assume this means they should advance every nutty progressive thing in case the people come ot their senses. And so they have, no matter what the cost.
LD227 would permit the state of Maine to hold those in other states liable for violating it; violating what? The law allows human trafficking and protects adults from charges of kidnapping and transporting minors across state lines for gender surgeries. Tennessee pushed back, but not just against the unconstitutionality of LD227.
