Letters to the Editor

Trump supporters just aren’t thinking

DEAR EDITOR: Time for a simple lesson that needs retaught because of the times. People need to think for themselves better. I say that because of the outward physical manifestation that has been going on for far too long with Trump and his confused supporters. They are confused because they were never taught to think for themselves and Trump is the evidence. Trump’s evil think ways have caught up with him and he is desperate. That is why he released the Epstein files. Trump has cleaned the files for the last 10 months as best as he could. His falling in the polls scares him so much ...

Framing the ACA debate correctly

DEAR EDITOR: I watched Sen. John Barrasso on a Sunday news interview, claim ACA premiums for Americans will skyrocket if his party OKs continuing payment of that program. I don’t think he framed his argument correctly, thus creating the false impression that what ACA recipients will pay are unacceptable increases resulting from the program. The premium he’s worrying about is the portion paid by government funding, yes, all of us, that might endanger billionaire tax cuts. The portion paid by individuals using ACA will increase by a much more manageable amount that is the users ...

Back in the bad old days in Chicago

DEAR EDITOR: Birds of a feather flock together. There is an old prison quiz among cell mates. What bird can’t fly? The usual response would be “a Yard-bird.” When caught by the law, their wings are clipped. Al Capone is often cited as the most famous gangster in history, due to his rise to power as the boss of the Chicago outfit during the Prohibition era, where he built an empire through illegal activities like gambling, bootlegging and bribery. Quotes by Al Capone include: “Hell must be a pretty swell spot, because the guys that invented religion have been trying hard to ...

Why all the division in the United States?

DEAR EDITOR: Division in the country, just because we disagree with an opponent’s way of thinking and this leads to murder (Charlie Kirk); what has this country come to? To even have a Democrat run for attorney general in Virginia, who wants two bullets to his opponent’s head and his children die? The people actually voted for him and he won! Something is wrong with that way of thinking, he should have been removed from even running. Why do Democrats continue to lie, they are the ones who held the American people hostage for 43 days to shut down the government. They wanted $1.5 ...

Anti-Trump vitriol getting old, boring

DEAR EDITOR: I thought The Vindicator had a limit on how many Letters to the Editor a person can get published each year. Apparently not, because I keep seeing the same authors’ names over and over again. Especially a gentleman (I use the term loosely) from Canfield. He seems to be suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome, since his submissions nearly always find a way to attack our great president, Donald J. Trump I shake my head when I read submissions about how bad free market capitalism is, especially since the writers have made a good life in America, but now want democratic ...

Lawmakers ignoring will of voters on pot

DEAR EDITOR: There was a voter passed issue (Issue 2) on the ballot back in 2023 that legalized the recreational use of marijuana in Ohio. Ever since then, Ohio lawmakers have sought to tweak the law to suit their own interests or their own personal views about marijuana. It is OK that these lawmakers may have conflicting views about legal recreational marijuana or even the legal use of medical marijuana, but Senate Bill 56 clearly goes against the will of the citizens of Ohio. I’m sure you have heard the arguments about misleading packaging which represents marijuana as ...
