See you soon Aroostook County!!

Honesty matters. You know that old saying about substance over style? I've never been a politician who hides. You might not always like how I say things, but you will know exactly where I stand. I don't hide. I take the heat. I make tough choices and I fight tirelessly for people, because people fought for me. Mainers deserve someone in D.C. who has a backbone. Maine people work hard. They speak straight. And they expect results. You will ALWAYS get that from me. #MEpolitics

@gue86502 @Headshok1962 That last sentence is absolutely correct. That doesn't necessarily mean college though. What schooling does is basically teach you the basics and the big thing: teach you how to get answers on your own or basically study and research. At least that's what it did for me.

🚨🚨Tomorrow morning 🚨🚨 I’ll be on the George Hale & Ric Tyler Show tomorrow morning talking about how we will fix our ⚡️⚡️energy crisis⚡️⚡️ I will: 1. End hidden subsidies that drive bills up. 2. Open the field to hydro and advanced nuclear. 3. Modernize our grid so storms don’t knock us out. It’s time for reliable, affordable power that puts Maine people first. 🇺🇸⚡️⚡️🇺🇸 📻 Tune in: WVOM 101.3 & 103.9 FM | 6–9 AM |

@unquirer Time for the fcc to break up these monopolies!

Keep it going #Maine

INCREDIBLE: The Press Herald has DELETED an article from Monday talking about how great Maine's economy is, and today is running a sponsored post about how bad Maine's economy is 🤣

@Namara18Mc Harvest time at the Chinese grow house near you!

@TheMaineWire Isn't everyone who's licensed by Maine breaking federal law? Starting to sound like MSM!

@TheMaineWire So how much of a tax increase will they vote for to pay for the task force?

@Robert_Wessels The problem with net energy is with the big companies that put up solar farms. The private homeowner needs the summer credits to make it through the winter to get their return on investment back!

New England residential electricity price increases from May 2024 to May 2025: -Rhode Island: 3.1% -Massachusetts: 4.2% -New Hampshire: 4.4% -Vermont: 7.3% -Connecticut: 18.4% -Maine: 36.3% (Via Axios)

Just another reminder how wrong it is that politicians are ok with handing out OUR money to those that aren’t entitled to it!! A woman dies at age 65 before collecting one benefit check. She and her employer paid into the system for almost 50 years and she collected NOTHING. Keep in mind all the working people that die every year who were paying into the system and got nothing. And these governmental morons mismanaged the money and stole from the system, so that it's now going broke. BEAUTIFUL! And they have the audacity to call today's seniors "vultures" in an attempt to cover their ineptitude. DISGRACEFUL! The real reason for renaming our Social Security payments is so the government can claim that all those social security recipients are receiving entitlements thus putting them in the same category as welfare, and food stamp recipients. THIS IS WORTH THE FEW MINUTES IT TAKES TO READ AND DIGEST! F.Y.I. By changing the name of SS contributions, it gives them a means to refute this program in the future. It's free money for the government to spend under this guise. The Social Security check is now (or soon will be) referred to as a Federal Benefit Payment ? I'll be part of the one percent to forward this. I am forwarding it because it touches a nerve in me, and I hope it will in you. Please keep passing it on until everyone in our country has read it. The government is now referring to our Social Security checks as a "Federal Benefit Payment." This is NOT a benefit. It is OUR money , paid out of our earned income! Not only did we all contribute to Social Security but our employers did too ! It totaled 15% of our income before taxes.(This should be enough for you to forward this message, If not read on.) If you averaged $30K per year over your working life, that's close to $180,000 invested in Social Security. If you calculate the future value of your monthly investment in social security ($375/month, including both you and your employers contributions) at a meager 1% interest rate compounded monthly, after 40 years of working you'd have more than $1.3+ million dollars saved. This is your personal investment. Upon retirement, if you took out only 3% per year, you'd receive $39,318 per year, or $3,277 per month. That's almost three times more than today's average Social Security benefit of $1,230 per month, according to the Social Security Administration. (Google it – it's a fact). And your retirement fund would last more than 33 years (until you're 98 if you retire at age 65)! I can only imagine how much better most average-income people could live in retirement if our government had just invested our money in low-risk interest-earning accounts. Instead, the folks in Washington pulled off a bigger Ponzi scheme than Bernie Madoff ever did (or Lyndon Johnson). They took our money and used it elsewhere. They "forgot"(oh yes, they knew) that it was OUR money they were taking. They didn't have a referendum to ask us if we wanted to lend the money to them ... and they didn't pay interest on the debt they assumed. And recently they've told us that the money won't support us for very much longer. (Isn't it funny that they NEVER say this about welfare payments?) But is it our fault they misused our investments? And now, to add insult to injury, they're calling it a benefit, as if we never worked to earn every penny of it. This is stealing! Just because they borrowed the money, doesn't mean that our investments were for charity! Let's take a stand. We have earned our right to Social Security and Medicare. Demand that our legislators bring some sense into our government. Find a way to keep Social Security and Medicare going for the sake of the 92% of our population who need it. Then call it what it is: Our Earned Retirement Income . 90% of people won't forward this.

The Democrats in Maine have basically said "F you" to the low income middle class tax payers who need housing and have constantly put illegals and asylum seekers first. Mainers really need to stop voting for Maine last Democrats. #Maine #mepolitics

An affordable housing unit is being built in Portland specifically for "immigrant and refugee" families. The facility is being built by nonprofit Prosperity Maine, which received $3.6 million in government grants in the most recent fiscal year.

@jaimewolfME @Robert_Wessels Actually there are companies that will come in and install rooftop solar. Then your stuck paying them for your electricity instead of versant or cmp. I'm sure if you trace the money with these companies, you'll eventually find a trail back to your legislators!
