Don’t be distracted by foreign policy

DEAR EDITOR: I hope my fellow Americans are not fooled by the distraction of what Trump is doing in the rest of the world. Pay attention to the destruction and devastation he is causing in the United States. We have to fight back and put a stop to this before there is nothing left to fight for and no one left to care. DONNA NASSER Sharon, Pa.

Sound off!

One thousand people protested at the local No Kings rally. What a coincidence, That’s about how many people voted for Kamala Harris from Trumbull County in the election. One should not confuse a president completing campaign promises with a monarch. After four years of watching Sleepy Joe hide for weeks on end, they are just not used to it, I guess. — Warren Last Saturday was the No Kings protest on Courthouse Square. It was a complete success! Sunday we woke up and didn’t have a king. But wait — we didn’t have one Saturday, either. — Warren Laughable. Trump is jealous ...

When winning hides what’s really wrong

DEAR EDITOR: The scoreboard says 49-0. The crowd’s roaring, the band’s playing and the town’s undefeated team is basking in another easy victory. It looks perfect, another chapter in a picture-postcard season. But perfection can be deceiving. Because behind the chants, behind the helmets and highlight reels, there’s another story playing out, the quiet politics of high school football. It’s not about the kids who score touchdowns. It’s about the ones who’ve earned the right to and never get the chance. You see it every Friday night across America. A senior who’s ...

Keep Natasha Natale as municipal judge

DEAR EDITOR: I am writing today to urge the residents of Warren to retain Judge Natasha Natale as our municipal court judge. We truly have a chance to keep a judge who is not only highly qualified and experienced, but who also goes above and beyond to serve our community. Before becoming a judge for our city, Judge Natale was the senior assistant attorney general for the state of Ohio where she worked with attorneys, experts and law enforcement officers across the state to lead prosecutions and pursue justice for our most vulnerable victims, young children. Her background demonstrates ...

City was correct to reopen Dana Street

DEAR EDITOR: As a Warren resident committed to government transparency, I urge City Council to stand by its responsibility to the public and its reopening of Dana Street. The original promise made by Auto ParkIt owner Chris Allan included the creation of thousands of manufacturing jobs for our city, a pledge that remains unfulfilled after nearly a decade. Despite claims of investment and security concerns, the tangible benefit to Warren has not matched the scale of the closed-road disruption or the expectations raised in 2015. The closure has inconvenienced many and redirected local ...

When will Judge Napolitano get it right?

DEAR EDITOR: Judge Andrew Napolitano’s weekly (“weakly”) argued opinion in the Vindicator’s Sept. 27-28 edition again presented an articulation of erroneous procedural facts and substantive mischaracterization of the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in a recent Immigration case. He correctly characterizes the Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, to prohibit an unreasonable governmental search of a person’s papers, but accuracy ends there. First: He demonstrates lack of understanding of the case he apparently references (Noem vs Perdomo) decided by the U.S. Supreme Court ...
