BANGOR, Maine — First we must appologize for interrupting our circulation due to the war. We'll try to gather back our editorial staff and publish more often.
The drums of war are rolling in New England. Our government chose not to defend any state here because of their low value (we see more that population and tax base in our fellow Mainers, but this only our view). Although we support our military and its orders, Maine's Rolling Thunder must express our view on a matter.
Today Russia didn't attack. Maybe we don't get what's going on, but wasn't this the long waited opportunity to go on the offensive? Didn't we retreat 2 times just to gain the ability to counterattack? Why not now, when it's for free?
Mainers are getting nervous because there is a good chance that our state will be the next target of a PEACE move. What's the hold up? Maybe we can retake New Jersey, New York or something...
And now, some local news:
Hearing postponed for teen eyed in death
CARIBOU, Maine — A hearing that had been scheduled for this month to determine whether a Limestone teenager will be tried as a juvenile or an adult in connection with the April death of his 3-month-old daughter has been postponed.
The bind-over hearing, rescheduled from Aug. 27, now could take place in the fall.
Nicklas Jones, 17, pleaded not guilty to a charge of manslaughter in May in Caribou District Court.
Jones is charged in the death of 3-month-old Joselyn Jones, who died April 27 at Eastern Maine Medical Center in Bangor from injuries she reportedly suffered four days earlier. Maine State Police investigators said the baby died from blunt force trauma to the head.
Police allege that her father threw the baby into her crib to stop her from crying.
Jones was arrested on May 1 and is being held at Mountain View Correctional Facility in Charleston.
When Nicklas Jones made his initial appearance in court, Assistant Attorney General Andrew Benson said the state filed a motion seeking a forensic diagnostic evaluation and requested a bind-over hearing to determine whether the 17-year-old would be tried as a juvenile or an adult.
Benson said Monday that the evaluation was not received by all parties involved in the case in time for the hearing, which led to the matter being continued until a later date.
According to Benson, the state is pushing for Jones to be tried as an adult both because he is “chronologically almost an adult” and because he said there are inadequate options in the juvenile system to treat Jones.
The assistant attorney general said a status conference on the case will be held on Oct. 2 and he hopes the bind-over hearing will be held later in the month.

If you lose a battle you can't attack that opponent for 24hrs. There isn't much point in attacking Portugal because we'd just lose. So Russia has 24hrs without worrying about us attacking them
But why do you assume we'll lose? And wouldn't attacking, even without winning, help our allies by drawing some damage from other battles?
You've lost in NH today therefore eRussia has 1 day of safety from eUSA attacks
So, by attacking Portugal, we'll know that for 2 days they won't attack Florida? That's not bad news at all!
On they bloody morning after...one tin solider rides away.
We'll lose because Indo isn't in any of the recent battles that have been occuring...their entire 20k citizens will fight 5 times for Portugal because they've been saving money for the past few days with nothing to do.
Our best hope right now is to get wiped out and force them to spend as much gold as possible doing it.
/agree with Aaron
Oooooh, a Maine paper.
Agreed that the best course of action is allow the US to completely fall, and then restart with a clean slate.
And they need to try that prick as an adult, and if he's guilty, send him up the river.
Don't yield the initiative. PEACE may have been surprised by the way Canada and Spain have bounced back. They may not meekly make things easy for the Americans. You can fight resistance wars without worrying about MPPs. Fight back.
