Oh my, you could not have written a more sensational story than the real-life saga of Letitia James. Letitia James, the outspoken, Trump-hating attorney general of New York, is going to fall hard, very hard, and every Republican is going to cheer her fall. We had to look and listen to her for months as … Read more
Growing up, Easter was always a huge celebration in our home, blending religion and tradition. I grew up in a house with multiple ethnic influences, including Germany and Scotland, and the strongest being Italy. My Italian grandparents lived upstairs from us, central to all holiday traditions. Christmas was big but could not match the solemnity … Read more
The Progressive Left supports MS 13 gang members and Tren de Aragua terrorists and are showing more concern for the civil rights of these gang members in our country illegally than the citizens of this country who these thugs put in danger. The uproar from the Left to force the Trump administration to return to … Read more
Most people understand the limitations of their homes before sending out invitations. If you have seating at the table for 10, you do not invite 16; if you only have one spare bedroom that sleeps 2, you don’t invite 8. That is basic and falls under the strained category of common sense. Unfortunately, like reading … Read more
I am just a simple guy from New Hampshire and Maine. I am retired, drive a school bus, and love to write. I love life, my sweetheart, our Border Collie, and our friends, and I am a lousy sleeper, so I get up in the middle of the night and write. You and I are … Read more
The Democrats have been considering a name change to align with their current philosophy, and I suggest they use the moniker Lemmings. Lemmings blindly follow the crowd and, void of any original thought, go about their lives based on the daily directive distributed by an unknown group of leaders. Listen to the daily sound bites … Read more
Maine is a beautiful state, blessed by God with a long and rocky shore with the Atlantic, incredible mountains for hikers and skiers, inland lakes for boaters, and a plethora of woodlands for campers. It is also a sanctuary state, not by God, but by Governor Janet Mills, in her infinite wisdom and against the … Read more
The topic of Joe Biden’s mental acuity, or lack thereof, is taking on a new life with the release of tell-all books written by White House insiders from the Biden Administration. These books should come in a series called the Hypocrisy Dialogues, as the writers are the same people who defended Biden’s mental condition for … Read more
It is very frustrating to see the protests, rallies, and news reports about President Trump and Elon Musk working hard to destroy our economy and democracy. All these activities are done by people ignorant of the facts or feeding an agenda. Either way, these people are pawns of the Left who are aiding and spreading … Read more
It sets my hair on fire when Democrats end every thought with the canned line, “So he can give tax breaks to billionaires.” It is so phony and rehearsed that I wonder if they actually believe the words themselves. As a matter of fact, with the plethora of lies emanating from their lips, can they … Read more
Not much in life comes with no effort or sacrifice. Want to get down to your ideal weight? Diet and exercise are never much fun. Want to go on a luxury vacation? Pull out the plastic and pay for years, or save for years, and hopefully, life hasn’t changed to allow your dream journey. Want … Read more
We use many catchphrases to talk about the America we conservatives want to return to. The America of Old, My Father’s America, and the Trump favorite, Make America Great Again, are a few, but what do they really mean? Before we define our America, let’s distinguish what it is not. America is not a global … Read more
Corey Booker, also known as Spartacus for his off-the-wall and dramatic orations in Congress, again put himself in the spotlight this week. Since the disgraceful exit of Bob Menendez from the Senate, Booker is now the Senior Senator from New Jersey, and there may be no more enormous ego or greater narcissism in the American … Read more
I had three other articles started for today. I began with the insanity of Rachel Maddow, then the behavior of the Democrat senators in the Intel Committee hearing, and finally, the Democrat members of Congress in their Intel hearing. But I scrapped them all. I don’t want to give the behavior of the Democrats any … Read more
On a cold, windy Sunday in March, hundreds of people, many festooned in rainbow garb, rallied on the Cumberland Commons, across the street from the Greeley Schools, in support of transgender athletes in girls’ sports. On the surface, you might say this was an impressive turnout for a worthy cause, except it is far from … Read more
When our brilliant forefathers got together nearly 250 years ago, they were a collection of the most brilliant men in the land. They not only created a document that was a blueprint for a new government and country but were able to project how that piece of paper would need to endure men and women … Read more
In Trump’s first term, the Democrats enjoyed the majority position in the House of Representatives. This advantage made holding up Donald Trump’s initiatives very straightforward. They did not have to sue him in court to slow him down. They just made up reasons to Impeach the 45th President and have him spin his wheels defending … Read more
The Democrats are now the Party of Haters and Destructors. There is nothing they stand for other than being anti-Trump. They have no policies or legislation to counter the MAGA initiative. Their stand is the opposite of whatever Trump and the Republicans push for the American people. The Trump haters do not understand a politician … Read more
Chuck Schumer began the end of his political career a week ago when he joined the Republicans to keep the government open and voted for the Continuing Resolution. It may have been the right thing to do for the country, but it is proving to be political suicide for the leader of the Democrat Party. … Read more
Like their counterparts in Washington, the Democrats in Augusta are digging themselves a hole they may not escape for years. Through bad legislation and decision-making, they have taken a budget surplus they inherited and squandered it into a significant deficit. They have moved a traditionally conservative state to the progressive Left. They abandoned the values … Read more
