Keep up with the latest on Bobby Charles' run for Governor. From rising crime to Janet Mills' unaffordable taxes and fees, we're keeping up with it all.
Education Reform is often treated with kid gloves, tiptoed around, especially in states like Maine. Why? The collapse of public education is so complete that marginal steps seem to be all people can imagine. Think bigger. Do it all. Here is how.
God’s plan for each of us is mysterious, and the more quiet among us – not those perpetually quiet, but capable of quiet – know that, as you look back on life, you begin to see God’s hand in everything.
Having spent the better part of a week along Maine’s 611-mile Northern Border, connecting with law enforcement near crossings, my essential readout is that deterrence matters, law enforcement needs our support, officers seldom complain, but without their courage and commitment, we would be overrun.
How do we get back on track when the world throws us off track? I have an idea, and because you are reading this, it may work for you. Just read. Not news, gossip, or text messages. Just pick up a good book, find a corner with light, grab something to sip or nibble, and disappear into it. It works.
Bottom line: Lewiston needs help, focus, dramatic federal and state support, a makeover based on real consequences, hard targets, more law enforcement resources, accountable and effective treatment, and realistic infrastructure. Ugly trends do not reverse themselves; they require leadership. Maine badly needs help.
Imagine a freedom clock. Putting freedom at high noon, you have a constitutional republic, the greatest liberty for one consistent with the greatest for all. Put no freedom at the bottom, six o’clock. Go left to communism or right to fascism, you meet at the bottom, with no freedom. America is at high noon.
The people who celebrate Kirk’s death, the ideological left, are evil. They aim to undermine the Bill of Rights, Christianity, Judaism, and Western Civilization. That is why Charlie Kirk was killed – and why we must stand now. We cannot let those forces silence us. Knowing we must do this is an epiphany for some. But let us gather our strength on Charlie’s example, and take the torch forward.
Bottom line: Drug and human trafficking, plus flow-down crime, are tied to illegal immigration. Public safety is a priority. Illegals victimize Blue State citizens, including Mainers. We need to get them out. To do that, we need new leadership.
Over decades, blessed to run a company for 25 years, manage a $2 billion dollar government operation, spend ten years Naval Intelligence, time in Ronald Reagan’s White House, doing countless oversight investigations, I have stumbled – like the blind pig finding the acorn – on a few rules that work. Here they are.
Be prepared. The political left is dying slowly and publicly. Have you noticed? Those desperate to shut the rest of us down, to centralize power, are failing. As they fail, Cold Hearts rise, and violence.
Thomas Jefferson, in 1801, became America’s 3rd president. Exactly 25 years earlier, young Jefferson penned the Declaration of Independence. This week exactly – in 1776 – he was seated in the Virginia House of Delegates, age 33. He was a man of courage and friendship.
In a way not seen in recent American history, not advised by anything like historical precedent, but instead politically or ideologically obsessed, Democrats are tilting wildly at things that overwhelming precedent does not support. As Trump stabilizes, well within his legal authority to do so, Democrats destabilize. What comes next?
Sometimes, something stops you, pulls you aside, and you do not know why. On October 3, four years ago, Jerry Adler was buried at age 90, grateful to the end. Jerry was a B-52 navigator. His friend, Dan Bulli, was a B-52 pilot. Dan predeceased Jerry at age 94. These two patriots remind us of what matters, risks taken for America, and how blessed life is. They are forever linked…to Maine.
