To the Special Commission Regarding Mandating Electric Vehicles (EV’s) In Maine.

March 11, 2025August 23, 2023 Howard Coffman

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. This issue is so critical that not even the governor or legislature should make the final decision. This issue deserves to be … Read more

Ohio And Maine Should Be Wake-up Calls For Republicans

July 16, 2024August 15, 2023 Ray Cardello

My concern for the 2024 Election is not whether we can get the right candidates up and down the ballot but whether we can beat the Election laws, media bias, and big money. Long gone are the days when the best candidate with the best grasp of the issues has the highest odds of winning.

The Excessive Rain in Maine Stays Mainly on the … Drought!

July 16, 2024July 19, 2023 Steve MacDonald

I find it amusing that the Bangor Daily News – in the middle of what feels like monsoon season across New England and successive days of news about flooding – felt the need to run a public interest piece on drought and the state’s drought task force.

Maine Robs Parents of Their Rights – “Kids” can Get Gender Drugs Without Parental Consent

July 16, 2024July 17, 2023 Steve MacDonald

Given the Democrat party’s affinity for incrementalism, what appears to be a gimme to teenagers struggling with gender dysphoria is more likely the threshold to denying parental rights to younger children.

Maine Joins Legion Of Anti-Birth States

July 16, 2024June 25, 2023 Ray Cardello

Let’s stipulate that the Left is passionate about writing laws that make it easier to kill unwanted babies up to the point of birth and beyond. The reason for the termination is immaterial.

Maine Ballot Initiative Socializes the State’s Electric Utilities

July 16, 2024June 22, 2023 Steve MacDonald

In what looks like another example of the government breaking it so it can pretend to fix it, Maine has a ballot initiative set for November “launched by a citizens group called Our Power.”

Maine Democrat Proves “Gun Free Zones” Don’t Work

July 16, 2024June 15, 2023 Steve MacDonald

Here’s something fun to chew on at lunchtime. It’s lunchtime here; feel free to chew on it wherever you are. A Democrat member of the Maine House of Representatives tried to explain why they needed extra security at the State House.

Maine’s Democrat Legislature Kills Proposed 72-Hour Waiting Period for Firearms

July 16, 2024June 14, 2023 Steve MacDonald

Maine has made a habit of following Vermont down the progressive bilge-hole, but in a surprise move, its Democrat majority legislature narrowly defeated a bill to impose a 72-hour waiting period to buy a gun.

What’s the Carbon Footprint Of Maine’s 19-Page Container Redemption Modernization Law?

July 16, 2024June 8, 2023 Steve MacDonald

The internet machine coughed up a letter to the editor of the Bangor daily news. The law would update how the state pretends recycling is good for Maine or the planet. My first thought? How much carbon will they emit before it’s over?

Is Maine Where Religious Tests Go to Die

July 16, 2024May 26, 2023 Steve MacDonald

Maine won’t have to change their state motto, but it might need to clarify its nuance. It is “Dirigo,” Latin for I direct, or I lead, and they are leading and directing … religious groups to sue them for violating their First Amendment Rights.

Maine Considers Law Ensuring Citizens Know What Chemicals are … on Trains (No, Not COVID Vaccines)

July 16, 2024May 21, 2023 Steve MacDonald

Train derailments are a lot more common than we knew. However, after the mishandling of the chemical spill in East Palestine, Ohio, people with an itch to look relevant have been thinking about capitalizing on the tragedy for political points.

Vermont Gloats Over Its Gun-Grabbing as Maine Tries to Keep Up

July 16, 2024May 21, 2023 Steve MacDonald

The super-majority Democrat legislature in Vermont can have whatever it wants and it has. From terrible energy policy to denying residents of their second amendment rights, Vermont Dems are pushing as hard as they can to take away your liberties.

Is Maine Building a ‘Budding’ Weed Cartel?

July 16, 2024May 9, 2023 Steve MacDonald

Maine’s got a marijuana crisis, as in too much of it. The price has collapsed. Combined with the rising cost of electricity, growers can’t afford to operate. The result is a mass exodus of “individuals registered with the state to supply medical-use marijuana for patients.”

Mao Would Be Proud: Maine School’s Student “Civil Rights Team” More Like “Rainbow Guard”

July 16, 2024March 19, 2023 Steve MacDonald

One of the features of Mao’s communist cultural revolution was student zealots (Reg Guard) willing to rat out anyone from teachers to neighbors to their own parents. Anyone who dares to contradict Mao or his tenets. Modern America has that too.

Seafood Watch Red-Listed Maine Lobster – Maine Lobster is Suing them for Defamation

Seafood Watch Red-Listed Maine Lobster Maine Lobster is Suing them for Defamation

Enviro-whackos in California, with way too much green street cred, decided to blame right whale deaths on Maine’s lobster industry (it’s actually offshore wind). Everyone was upset except those Biden’s who served it at their first State Dinner.

Scary Gulf or Maine “Second Warmest Year on Record” Headline Is Out of Context Fearmongering

August 4, 2025February 17, 2023 Steve MacDonald

Maine is getting colder. It’s a fact. There’s been no warming in the past decade. They’ve recently experienced record-setting cold, which won’t help the trend, but hey, stop that. Warming! Look at the Gulf of Maine! The Portland Press Herald just had the journalist equivalent of unprotected sex with the Climate Cult narrative. “Last year … Read more

NPR Reports Record Setting Cold in Maine Without Mentioning Global Warming (!)

July 16, 2024February 5, 2023 Steve MacDonald

New England got a severe blast of arctic air this weekend. Wind chills dragged already cold temps into dangerous territory. It got so cold that parts of Maine expected temperatures not reached in forty years.

Maine Socialists Are So White and Straight They Have To Scrap Their Diversity Quotas

July 16, 2024January 22, 2023 Steve MacDonald

The Democrat Socialists of America chapter in Maine has a problem. They wrote a diversity quota requirement into their by-laws because that’s what cultural Marxists do. So what’s the problem? There aren’t enough commies in Maine who are not white and straight.

The Maine Climate Science Dashboard

July 16, 2024January 12, 2023 Steve MacDonald

The State of Maine has a climate science dashboard. An official repository for climate fearmongers and their water carriers. I stumbled on it after reading a story about scallops endangered by rising sea-water temperatures.

Massachusetts and Maine Embrace More Potemkin Energy

July 16, 2024January 6, 2023 Steve MacDonald

Grigory Potemkin is famous for allegedly erecting fake towns that appeared accurate when viewed from a distance. As the new governor of Crimea, he wanted to please his empress (with whom he was intimately engaged). Fast forward about 140 years, and we find ourselves with something similar.
