Time is Running Out for the Gulf of Maine!Urgent!

by Op-Ed

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 members should be attending or send a rep for them. Our gulf is too important.

The Facts Show The Impact Of Progressives On Maine

by Ray Cardello

Progressive politicians have taken over Maine and are making the most of their time in power.

by Steve MacDonald

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.

While Maine Works to Protect Child Traffickers, Tennessee Moves to Punish Them

by Steve MacDonald

LD227 would permit the state of Maine to hold those in other states liable for violating it; violating what?

Tennessee pushed back, but not just against the unconstitutionality of LD227.

Maine Follows Vermont Down Another Disarmament Rabbit Hole

by Steve MacDonald

State Governments top heavy with progressive thinkers have been looking for excuses to pass laws banning “militias.” Vermont, to my geographic and ideological left, used a gun range with a few unpermitted buildings to ban Militias statewide, and Vermont only exists because of a militia. Maine just followed suit.

Wake Up Maine Democrats, This Is Not Your Parent’s Party

by Ray Cardello

It is not easy, and it may be very uncomfortable, to change your political affiliation because you finally realize that it is not you who is leaving the Party, but the Party has left you. I grew up in Massachusetts, where everyone joined the Democrat Party at birth. Those many years ago, John Kennedy personified the Democrat Party.

Trump is Back on the Ballot in Maine – Was Never Really Off it. Not Yet.

by Steve MacDonald

Maine is in the news again after its secretary of state – a Trump-hating-partisan Democrat decided she had the authority to tell the Republican party (a private corporation) who could be on their primary ballot. That was the big news. Shenna Bellows. Trump kicked off Maine Ballot. Or, is he? No, he’s not!

Bear Pond Conservative Chronicles: A Look At The Mess That Is Maine Politics

by Ray Cardello

I am a Granite Stater to the bone, but I have fallen in love with Maine over the last few years. My partner and I have deep roots in the Pine Tree State as she was born in Maine and spent much of her childhood in Central Maine. I enjoyed many vacations camping along the rocky coast, and three years ago, we found our summer home on Bear Pond.

Maine Won’t Put Chris Christie on Its 2024 Republican Primary Ballot

by Steve MacDonald

Twenty days ago, we reported on a muck-up in Maine (that’s muck, with an ‘m’). Team Christie, or so the State claimed, had failed to provide 2000 in-state signatures (of certified registered voters) as required by law. The campaign appealed, and the State Supreme Court has ruled.

Night Cap: Two More Pieces Of Maine Pot Puzzle

by Ray Cardello

I want to write an article about the Chinese Cartel Pot Farm situation in Maine and report the steps taken to rectify the matter. I want to say the State and Federal Governments were working in unison to get these 200 illegal operations that have popped up in Central Maine shut down.

by Ray Cardello

Merrick Garland is the United States Attorney General and heads up our Justice Department, which includes 115,000 employees. Garland is obviously a very busy man working with Joe Biden and Christopher Wray to find ways to target and harass people with a Conservative ideology.

ICYMI – Maine Says Chris Christie Didn’t Qualify to Be on Its GOP Presidential Primary Ballot

by Steve MacDonald

For all the talk amongst the never-Trumpers about keeping The Donald off state ballots, perhaps someone should have spent more time trying to get his challenger on them. Maine has announced that Chris Christie lacked the signatures needed to appear on its ballot, and so he will not.

Maine Is Growing Up And It’s Not Pretty

by Ray Cardello

Maine is like the quiet kid that nobody notices. He sits alone, has no friends, doesn’t excel at anything, and flies under the radar until he does something horrific, and everyone is shocked. How could this monster have been among us, and nobody took notice? Well, that is now what we are saying about Maine.

China Owns Illegal Marijuana Grows All Across Maine

by Ed Mosca

Maine legalized recreational marijuana in 2020. In response, Chinese nationals have bought properties all across Maine to grow marijuana. China has been using Tik Tok to brainwash America’s youth and now literally, not figuratively, are also using “recreational drugs” to also help turn them into zombies.

Lessons from Lewiston Maine

by Steve MacDonald

Rick Moran, writing at PJ Media, thinks it is time to do something about mental illness and observes correctly that we’ve gotten away from institutionalizing people who need it. That Lewiston shooter Robert Card’s red flags should have ended with him disarmed and in a facility.

The Bangor Daily News (BDN) reports that Soros-funded non-profits were not funded to buy 22 Maine Newspapers in one fell swoop. They admit to supporting the group but claim they don’t tell them how to spend the money.

WalletHub Ranked Maine Dead Last for Climate Disasters – I Guess They Didn’t Consider the Rising Tide of Democrat Control

by Steve MacDonald

Maine is a beautiful state, but as it leans increasingly left (politically) before long, “pretty” might be the only thing it has going. That, and they don’t appear to suffer from a lot of natural disasters (again, assuming increased Democrat control of government does not qualify).

First, let me say that this is not a decision for an unelected body. This is a decision to be made by the citizens of the state of Maine in a state-wide referendum.
