Searsmont has a "new" E42 pumper truck, thanks to the spirit of "brotherhood, sisterhood and mutual aid" of the commissioners, officers and firefighters of the North Thompsonville Fire Department in Enfield, Connecticut.

One day after ISO announces that wind’s winter peak capacity went from 65% down to 10%, this article magically appears. Guess what’s not mentioned in it?

So far, at least 23 governors have agreed to set up Fostering the Future Accounts for children in their respective states. Janet Mills is not one of them. Maine’s children should be elevated above politics. The states that have opted in so far include Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, and West Virginia. Qualifying children born between 2025 and 2028 get a one-time $1,000 seed deposit from the Treasury Department. Matching contributions can also be made by employers, private donors, and state funds. Foster children will have access to the money, which is automatically invested in the stock market. They can then access it at age 18 to pay for schooling, buy a home, or start a business. With no contributions made after the $1,000, the funds will grow to roughly $5,800 by 18, according to White House estimates. Maximum contributions of $5,000 yearly would grow the account to between $162,000 and $730,000.

Happy Sunday!

Today is the final day the PUC can accept bids for generators for the Northern Maine transmission project. This is a fitting day to remember that ISO-New England just slashed onshore wind’s winter peak capacity value from 65% to 10%. What that means is that Maine’s entire energy policy is built on a lie. If they continue pressing forward with this project, you know this was never about reliability or affordability. Read more here: open.substack.com/pub/landow…

🚨Maine education rankings keep sliding and teachers unions keep profiting. A bombshell new watchdog report reveals that teachers' unions have blown BILLIONS of teachers' forced membership dues on exorbitant six-figure salaries for hundreds of their own bureaucrats and staff. While classroom teachers struggle with stagnant pay and overcrowded classrooms, union insiders are living large on teachers' paychecks. The NEA and AFT — America's biggest teachers' unions - are the main ones behind this racket.

As you go to the polls today, consider what the majority party has done and will continue to do to our state. Highest property taxes, highest energy costs…and Nazi tattoos. Enough is enough.

Tomorrow is Election Day, and I’m proudly voting for Bobby Charles for Governor. I’ve been Team Bobby since Day One because I believe Maine doesn’t need more of the same. The status quo won’t save our state. We don’t need another carefully scripted candidate who is afraid to make waves, afraid to challenge the political establishment, or afraid to think for themselves. We need real leadership. Maine is facing rising costs, growing crime, economic stagnation, and a government that too often seems more interested in excuses than results. The answer isn’t another middle-of-the-road politician who tells people what they want to hear. The answer is someone with the courage to say what needs to be said and do what needs to be done. Bobby Charles has spent his career fighting criminals, exposing corruption, and delivering results. He knows what he believes, why he believes it, and he doesn’t need a consultant, campaign manager, party insider, or legacy politicians telling him what to think. Cut Crime. Cut Taxes. No Nonsense. That’s more than a slogan—it’s a plan to get Maine back on track. Tomorrow, Mainers have a choice. We can accept the status quo, or we can choose bold leadership and real change. Join me in voting for Bobby Charles and send a message that the future of Maine will be decided by Maine voters—not party insiders, political dynasties, or billionaire donors. Let’s get Maine back on track.
