Maine has announced that it will be giving vaccine recipients a card. No, it’s not a thank you card, nor a gift card. It’s a card that tells you that you got the shot. It also has a reminder on it. You need to show up so they can do it again.
Maine Superior Court Rejects Move to Extend Ballot Counting Past Election Day
The Alliance for Retired Americans sounds like a sweet bunch just looking out for retirees. Why else would they petition the state to extend voting in Maine well past Election Day, November 3rd? Well, it could be that they are an AFL-CIO Unionfron group looking to increase the likelihood of election fraud, and they are!
Democrat Party mouthpiece LWVME sent me a text. They WANT me to vote absentee. But I don’t live in Maine?
If I was Joe Biden, no one would blink an eye if I called NH Maine or NH Vermont. That’s just how the MSM rolls (while the rest of us just roll our eyes). But “Harry” decided to send me a text:
University in Maine asks ‘Community’ to Sign “BLM Antiracism Pledge” (So they Can Make a List of Who did Not)
Colleges and Universities are creating lists. No, not the one my title infers, the one that is created from the names of those who do not sign their Black Lives Matter Statement and Antiracism Pledge.
Confirmed – Victim Killed by Great White Shark off the Coast of Maine
It is Maine’s first-ever recorded death by Shark attack. The victim has been identified as 63-year old Julie Dimperio Holowach. A seasonal resident who lived in New York City. She was attacked in the water off Bailey Island.
Woman Dead in Maine from Apparent Shark Attack (Unless She Tests Positive for COVID19)
We have some tragic news out of Bailey Island, Maine. “A woman was killed in what investigators believe was a shark attack off the coast of Maine’s Bailey Island, located in the Casco Bay.”
Protesters Demand Maine Reopen as GOP Calls for End to Emergency Powers for Dem Gov.
Protesters in Maine, much like New Hampshire, gathered in their state capitol on Saturday. Their governor (like ours) isn’t opening the state fast enough.
Health and Liquor Licenses Pulled after Maine Restaurant Defies State Lockdown Orders
Hundreds of people lined up outside Sunday River Brewing Co on Friday. They were there to enjoy a sit down meal and support owner Rick Savage for defying Maine’s lockdown order. But the State of Maine was not happy, so it pulled his operating licenses.
Maine’s Franklin County Sheriff Scott Nichols – “We Will not Be Setting up a Police State”
We’ve lived for years with Cities, Counties, and States using the euphemism “Sanctuary” for this or that. Like, to proclaim they are “welcoming” and “inclusive” of people who want a better life for themselves and their families.
Maine Democrat Bre Kidman’s Campaign logo (She’s Running for US Senate) is a Guillotine
I am not at all offended by the campaign logo of US Senate candidate (from Maine) Bre Kidman. I find it refreshing. The logo for the Democrat challenger for the seat currently held by Part-Time Republican Susan Collins is a guillotine.
Now Maine has Doubts About the Transportation Climate Initiative (TCI)
We won’t take credit for much but when the Transportation Climate Initiate reared its ugly head, we took a baseball bat to it. New Hampshire Dems wanted it, and are prepared to change State law so we can get it. We took them and it to the rhetorical woodshed.
ICYMI – Maine Said “No” to Giving Up Its Sovereignty
The National Popular vote would erase the votes, voices, and the relevance of state like New Hampshire. That hasn’t kept our Democrats from trying to do that. The same is true for other states, including our neighbors in Maine.
Maine State Senate Decides To Give Its Voters No Voice in Presidential Elections
The Maine State Senate must not like their voters very much. They just chose to join the National Popular Vote, which would erase Maine by turning it into a meaningless (if not incredibly large) county of New York State.
NH and Maine Democrats Are Pushing the Exact Same Loony Left Agenda (And What it Means)
From my inbox: Anyone else find it funny that NH’s loony-left bills mirror Maine’s almost exactly? For the sake of perspective, does anyone else find it funny that Maine’s loony left bills mirror New Hampshire’s almost exactly?
There’s a reason why NH ranks much higher than Maine
Reformatted, emphasis mine:
“…The compilation data is stunning.
In many of the selected reports, Maine lagged far behind New Hampshire for competitiveness for new industry, tax burden, cost of doing business, workforce education, infrastructure, regulatory environment and labor supply. New Hampshire came in, nationally, as the 15th best state in terms of business climate and taxation — the best in New England, by a long shot. Maine’s average score designated our state the 34th best for business climate, trailing every other New England state except Connecticut.
But the rub becomes apparent when one studies the data.
Maine’s Embrace of Broad Based Taxes vs. New Hampshire NOT Doing That.
Our good friend Michael Graham, writing at NH Journal, has an article titled “Study: Maine Vs. N.H. Shows “More Government Means More Poverty.”
The annual Family Prosperity Index is out and, while New Hampshire didn’t make the Top 10 (it’s ranked #16), the study’s authors did use the Granite State to make their case for more economic liberty vs. reliance on government. They used the case study of New Hampshire and its neighbor, Maine (FPI ranking: #39).
The result of Maine’s dancing with the tax devil in the “blue” moon light? More government, a shrinking private sector, and one of the highest dependency cultures in the nation.
Maine Democrats Block Effort to Make FGM Illegal
The New Hampshire legislature passed legislation last week prohibiting Female Genital Mutilation of a minor in the Granite State. Governor Sununu is expected to sign it. Maine’s majority Democrat House decided not to support similar legislation.
This week, Maine House Democrats sent a clear message that female genital mutilation (FGM) performed on young girls should not be a crime in their state. So much for child abuse prevention.
Will FGM advocates in New Hampshire be taking day trips to The Pine Tree State? Not legally.
The “Value and Vision” of Maine Democrats is to laugh at white men committing suicide
It is clear that that the Democrat Party has lost a lot of white men as voter in the last few elections as they have moved to identity group politics where white men are at the bottom of their totem pole (if not totally removed with a dull chainsaw just to make it hurt worse). … Read more
Maine Added Work Provision for Food Stamps – Guess What Happened?
(Daily Signal) In response to the growth in food stamp dependence, Maine’s governor, Paul LePage, recently established work requirements on recipients who are without dependents and able-bodied. In Maine, all able-bodied adults without dependents in the food stamp program are now required to take a job, participate in training, or perform community service. Job openings … Read more
Don’t Like NH’s Property Taxes? Then Move to Maine
Source: WalletHub This is an Interactive map!
Skip took some time to fisk a letter to the Concord Monitor in which someone named John Andrews complains about the high property taxes in New Hampshire. He notes that across the border in Maine, he’d be paying a lot less in property taxes.
Skip does a great job exposing the fallacies upon which Andrews makes his case, and rightly points out that Maine has lots of other taxes that John never mentions. But he doesn’t have space to show how vast the chasm of the overall tax burden is between Maine and New Hampshire.
It’s Yuge.
