Maine is on the New England grid, so they’re as screwed as the rest of us. Like the rest of us, their so-called leaders believe sending someone a few hundred dollars to pay a bill solves a problem they or their ideological ancestors created.
A Maine School Counselor ‘Transitioned’ a 13-Yo W/Out Parental Knowledge and More! – Stack of Stuff #34
I am having a private conversation with a mental health specialist who declared that part of their practice deals in this issue (we do not see eye to eye). I sent that person this story and am awaiting the response. I, however, believe that this makes the case, along with the hundreds of other “news … Read more
Maine Legislature Leaves Gov. Mills’ Winter “Relief” Scheme Out in the Cold
Most of our readers understand how this works. The government screws something up, deliberately in most cases, and then pretends to help with the downside of its policy priorities. When that fails, you blame your opponents while regular people suffer.
Culture War: A Moment of Sanity in Maine
A Maine School Board had its toes on the ledge. They were going to vote on a policy to allow teachers and coaches to hide a student’s mental health issues from parents. But the board “transitioned away” and put the new policy on hold after parents made a stand.
Biden’s to Serve Climate Killing Beef and Banned Maine Lobster at First State Dinner
In the left-Wing tradition of hyper-hypocrisy, President* Biden is serving climate-killing beef and banned Maine lobster to the Macron’s this evening at his first State Dinner. You read that right.

Four days ago, I introduced GrokPAC, GraniteGrok’s more politically active offshoot with its registration “description” of “No better friend, no worse energy.”
If a $500 Mill Religious Exemption Settlement is a Wake-Up Call to Employers, How About States Like Maine?
Maine passed a law abrogating religious exemptions for childhood immunizations. Passed before the Chinese Flu Plandemic, it became effective in 2021 and has since cut the number of exemption requests in half. We’ve posited that this is an unconstitutional violation, and now we may have some backup.
Maine Prohibited Religious or Philosophical Objections to “Immunization”
So much happens that it is easy to miss things. Like a new Maine law signed in 2019 that removed Religious or Philosophical Objections to “Immunization.” This predated COVID, but after experiencing how the “government” handled that, is anyone else concerned?
Maine is No Longer The Pine Tree State
For years, Maine has been called the Pine Tree State. As you drive around this beautiful state today, you will quickly understand why the Pine Tree has been replaced by the marijuana leaf on the state flag. Okay, that did not .really happen, but with the number of pot shops springing up in every city and town, it makes one wonder where we are heading.
SCOTUS: “Maine Cannot Exclude Religious Schools from Tuition-Assistance Program”
Democrats are pissed. The US Supreme Court has broken out that constitution-thingy and rained on their education monopoly parade. How so? It has been a long-standing policy for states to exclude religious schools from their tuitioning programs, but this has been ruled unconstitutional.
AG Indicts Maine Man Who Threatened a NH Judge to Influence a Ruling – So, It is Against the Law?

“Political Leaders*” in Maine Talking About More Gun Control After Texas Shooting
Politicians are supposed to be temps, so calling them leaders is misleading. Whatever they are, temp or career, the longer they remain, the less able they are to follow their oaths of office. And nothing exposes this failure as a mass shooting.
Why They Are Still Wearing Masks in Maine.
The CDC changed its mask mandate guidance a few days before a letter to Biden from his Pollster became public. The letter said that mandates were bad for Dems re-election chances and how to spin the abrupt change in tactics.
California Green Group Targets Maine’s Lobster Industry
The Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch in California claims the mantle of sustainable seafood watchdog. If they red flag an operation, buyers like Disney and Whole Foods won’t touch them, and they’ve set their sights on Maine’s lobster industry.
FDA Hearing is Not for Another 5 Days and Maine Is Already Preparing to Jab Your Babies
If you missed it, the Bidenistas all but begged Pfizer to request approval to Jab your babies. The FDA has a hearing on that request next Tuesday (2-15-22). And Maine has announced that it is greasing the bureaucratic skids to make sure this can happen the moment the FDA says go!
Maine’s Bumper Potato Crop Sets Records – We Should Blame Global Warming™
One of the go-to whines for Democrats is to say that Global Warming™ – they call it Climate Change now – will seriously impact [insert name of local revenue stream here]. In NH, it’s Leaf-peeping, Skiing (tourism), Maple Syrup, and people of color. In Maine, it’s probably potatoes and lobsters.
Wake Up and Laugh – John Pinette Goes Camping in Maine
John Pinetta is (IMO) hilarious. I remember him from the ’80s and on, and while I never got to see him live, YouTube eventually made that a moot point.
Maine Does Nothing to Protect Health Care Workers from Termination – Has to Call up National Guard to “Replace” Them
Maine has a public health crisis. Well, it’s a health care worker crisis. A Public-private partnership crisis? Elected officials did nothing to protect unvaccinated health care workers from vaccine discrimination by employers, and now there is a shortage. The governor has ordered the National Guard up to help.
Maine Issues COVID Disinformation Warning to Health Care Professionals – Local Doc Throws It Back in Their Faces
We saw this sort of bullying early on in the political pandemic. Bureaucrats and politicians were coming between you and your doctor—executive orders and rulings from boards threatening licenses to practice. Maine is doing it again, and at least one physician is pushing back.
Richest Lithium Deposit on the Planet Discovered in Maine but Environmental Laws Prohibit Mining It
The Left’s utopian energy future would be a lot more attainable with nuclear, but that’s verboten. Another requirement is lithium, but the only way to get that is open-pit mining, also verboten.
