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.
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.
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.
In New Hampshire the RINO problem is spelled S-U-N-U-N-U. In Texas it’s spelled B-U-S-H. Here’s Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s Impeachment-Lawyer torching the Bushies. If you don’t want to watch the entire video, start at 1:15.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.”
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 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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.”
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.
