Useless guy in the green shirt is far left principal Matt Haney of Mount Desert Island HS in Bar Harbor (@MDItrojans ). Haney stood by and did nothing here as a biological male trans student viciously beat an actual female student. My sources tell me that Haney then sent an email ordering students to delete this video. In addition to allowing girls to be beaten by men, Haney also violates his students First Amendment rights.

A disturbing wave of cats suddenly vanishing without a trace has been reported in Bangor, Maine, leaving distraught residents at a loss as to what the reason could be. Authorities said the search for the missing cats has not uncovered any remains, adding more depth to the mystery. The incidents first occurred in August, when 6 cats were reported missing over the course of a month. However, that number increased over time. “There was never this kind of spike of this kind of activity,” Matt Morgan, the owner of missing feline Eloise, told WCSH-TV, “And the animals that disappeared were...

Residents in Bangor, Maine have reported 16 recent incidents in which pet cats have suddenly gone missing. Catholic Charities in Maine reported about 100 migrants from 11 countries were sent to Bangor in fiscal year 2024. The new arrivals came from Syria, Venezuela, Nicaragua, and Afghanistan. And Haiti. Residents in Springfield, Ohio, which has seen 20,000 Haitian migrants arrive in their town, also reported missing pets. “Is it wild animals or wild migrants? Nobody knows, because nothing has been properly investigated,” Revolver News noted. ABC News is already quick to dismiss the Bangor story. “How do they know that so...

Mass illegal migration has been tough on the finances of small cities and towns throughout the U.S. So, many of these towns are raising property taxes -- through the roof. South Portland, Maine, which has seen a mass influx of illegals flown in by the Harris-Biden administration, has raised its property taxes for residents 25% in the last five years as a result. Some have seen hikes as high as 60%. Spending for illegals and their NGO "services" keeps piling up, always going higher than the previously promised budget for them.

16 pet cats have suddenly disappeared in Bangor, Maine. No remains were found. Experts don't believe an animal did this. Bangor just had an influx of Haitians.

In a city that has raised taxes by almost 25% over the past half-decade, the mayor has made the obvious suggestion: use your home's equity to hand over your wealth to keep the city's gravy train going. You will own nothing and be happy. ⚡South Portland Mayor Misha Pride tells seniors to take out a reverse mortgage to afford the city's sharp increase in property taxes. pic.twitter.com/auJK1pzAdt— The Maine Wire (@TheMaineWire) September 23, 2024It's a brilliant solution if you think about it.

TOP MAINE DEMOCRAT acknowledged on Thursday that there’s likely not enough time to change the state’s Electoral College rules before the election to counterbalance Nebraska Republicans trying to alter their own state’s rules to benefit Donald Trump

PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — A bill introduced after a mass shooting in Maine would require the Army to use state crisis intervention laws to remove the weapons of a service member who is deemed to be a serious threat to themselves or others, U.S. Sen. Susan Collins, the bill’s sponsor, said Monday.... It requires the military to participate in state crisis actions, including so-called red flag or yellow flag laws aimed at removing weapons from someone who’s experiencing a psychiatric emergency.... The Sagadahoc County Sheriff’s Office was asked to go to Card’s home and check on his well-being after he’d...

Typically, items stowed away in your attic are either Christmas decorations or maybe some old suitcases. Well, an unsuspecting attic in Camden, Maine, was recently found to contain a painting potentially created by the beloved Netherlands artist Rembrandt. Despite being shrouded in mystery and uncertainty, many art collectors viewed the painting as an authentic work when it went under the hammer on August 24th. The last known Rembrandt portraits in private collections were sold off by Christie’s Auction House last year, therefore, this newly uncovered piece in Maine provided a rare opportunity for collectors to get their hands on one...

Former Sen. Pat Toomey (R), who represented the key state of Pennsylvania for 12 years in the Senate, says he won’t vote for former President Trump or Vice President Harris in November’s election. Toomey noted during an interview on CNBC that he voted for Trump in 2016 and 2020 but can’t bring himself to support Trump again because of his efforts to overturn the results of the last presidential election. “When you lose an election and you try to overturn the results so that you can stay in power, you lose me. You lose me at that point,” Toomey said...

A scathing obituary about a malignant Maine mother went viral Saturday, for both its brutal honesty and savage delivery. Florence “Flo” Harrelson, 65, died back in February, but her obituary wasn’t published by the Kennebec Journal and Morning Sentinel until Thursday. That’s because Harrelson’s daughter, Christina Novak, who wrote the abrasive obituary, said she only learned her mom was dead this month. Novak noted in the obit that her mother, a former U.S. Marine who served as a Maine prison guard, died “on Feb. 22, 2024, without family by her side due to burnt bridges and a wake of destruction...

he top abortion provider in northern New England claimed in a virtual press conference last week that a projected deficit in revenue will require “significant financial support to continue offering its lifesaving health care services.” Planned Parenthood of Northern New England (PPNNE), which provides abortions and contraceptives in Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont, painted a grim picture of its financial status, explaining in an accompanying press release that the organization is “facing a projected financial deficit of $8.6 million over the next three years,” a situation that may require it to “change how and where it offers services.” PPNNE’s spokespersons...

A Maine congresswoman who told Americans to wear hand-me-downs to fight climate change has clocked in over 100,000 miles traveling the globe in the lap of luxury. Chellie Pingree, 69, expensed over $100,000 in business class flights, luxury hotels and dining while her and her team clocked in over 130,000 miles around the globe. According to an investigation by the Maine Wire, Pingree, who prides herself on fighting climate change, was responsible for roughly 15.98 metric tons of emissions. The outlet uncovered that since 2016, 21 taxpayer-funded trips by air across the globe have related to her work as a...

An anonymous local hero was able to get a Portland city employee a parking ticket after reminding the city’s parking control officer that Maine is, in fact, “not a communist state.” On Thursday, a disgruntled Portland resident posted to the city’s 311 SeeClickFix portal, an online tool for residents to report quality of life issues, such as discarded hypodermic needles, trash, homeless camps and parking violations.The anonymous user shared a picture of a Nissan Rogue — that they claimed belongs to a Portland city employee — parked illegally in a “no parking any time” zone on Oak Street.“I have to...

PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — Three Army Reserve officers were disciplined for dereliction of duty following a rampage in which a reservist killed 18 people in Maine, according to an Army report that cited communication failures within the chain of command and between military and civilian hospitals, among other shortcomings. The report released Tuesday unearthed “a series of failures by unit leadership,” said Lt. Gen. Jody Daniels, chief of the Army Reserves, and administrative actions taken against the officers could prevent their further military advancement. The officers weren't identified. Survivors and victims’ family members have been critical over missed opportunities to...

Leftists reach voters a new way. Ways to sponsor the news on a local level. Get the facts: Verifying claims made in videos at the Republican National Convention on the economy Local news spewing national lies about the Republican convention. A new way to reach local voters. I have not this before. This is a very left slanting local Maine station.

Mainers are going to decide in November whether to adopt a new flag, but the state needs to settle on a design first. Anyone can submit a design proposal as long as it's based on the state's original flag, which featured a simple pine tree and blue star against an off-white background. Secretary of State Shenna Bellows announced the flag contest Friday. The deadline is July 19.

As Twitchy reported earlier, Sen. John Kennedy broke out the puppets and crayons to explain the difference between boys and girls to his Democratic colleagues. Kennedy's work wasn't done yet. He called out Biden appointee Judge Julia M. Lipez over her categorization of a convicted child molester as having "a lot of good in him." A monster molested 4- and 9-year-old girls. Lipez called him “a person who has a lot of good in him” and suspended half of his jail sentence, giving him only 6 years behind bars. Pres. Biden wants to put Lipez on the court of appeals...

The Government of Maine has really big plans for floating wind, a floating net zero fantasy, in fact. Since floating wind power is the next big green thing, it is worth taking a close look at this ruinous vision. Floating wind is a fad, not an established technology. It has yet to be built at utility scale or tested in a hurricane. The world’s biggest grid-connected system is a tiny 50 MW and just came online off Scotland. The cost of floating wind is necessarily much greater than fixed wind. A fixed wind tower sits on a simple monopile, while...
