Descendants of the 12 Tribes of Israel

DEAR EDITOR: It makes no sense to debate the ethnicity of the Jews. Their history is well documented in the bible. No other group has suffered as they. They suffered 400 years in slavery under Egyptian domination. This was around 1300 B.C. After Mosses freed them, they roamed around in the wilderness for 40 years. Under David and Solomon, the little nation rose to military and commercial success. Shortly after, however, the nation split into two kingdoms and suffered at the hands of Babylon, Persia and Rome. Jesus was born during the Roman occupation. The Crusades of the 10th and 13th ...

Here’s an ode to mark Warren No Kings Day

DEAR EDITOR: Yesterday, I joined neighbors and friends for the No Kings Day celebration organized by Good Trouble Trumbull at Courthouse Square in Warren. I’m submitting my poem, “Ode to No Kings Day,” to the Tribune Chronicle as a letter to the editor. My poster contained a quote that is referenced in the poem: “Courage starts with showing up and letting ourselves be seen” (Brene Brown). I woke up this morning and heard the birds sing They rejoice that today is the day of no kings All over the country we rally today From Warren to Boston, New York to LA We join ...

We are many against Donald Trump

DEAR EDITOR: Amidst one of the most tumultuous weeks in U.S. history where we witnessed a president deploy troops to a U.S. city against the expressed demands of the state and local officials, a major escalation in the conflagration in the Middle East, and a political assassination, Trump’s big day finally arrived. What transpired can only be described as a Greek comedy. His face foretells impending dread... The parade in DC was forced to start a half hour early because of incoming weather. But the real problem wasn’t the weather— it was crowd size. As the parade began, ...

Group insurance is not what it seems

DEAR EDITOR: Here’s an alternative to a House-Senate inquiry into group health insurance that offers elected officials political cover to protect their re-election bids and future lobbying careers. Congress must appropriate the money and direct the President to instruct the Chief Actuary in the Health Care Financing Administration to embark on a special project for the benefit of the American public. The Chief Actuary is to recruit carefully selected experts in mathematics, economics, accounting, social psychology, mass media, organizational behavior, Soviet domestic policy, ...

Trump’s true believers are the problem

DEAR EDITOR: Everyone who opposes what Trump is in Trump’s nonphysical being that Trump manifests into physical reality, needs to understand that when Trump is finally gone, either physically or from political power, that the problems he created will not also be gone. Trump has followers who are very dedicated to their cause of racial superiority, dominance by physical force and coercion to manifest and impose their will into our reality. It is not like in the story “The Wizard of Oz” when once the wicked old witch was dead, all her followers came to their senses and were ...

Sound off!

MAGA is using fake news to justify Trump’s pathetic military-style attack on California. If California was a country, it would be the 4th largest economy on earth. As a rule liberal states in the U.S. have better schools, stronger economies, more diversity and lower crime rates than MAGA states. But soon true facts won’t matter, as the Trump administration is systematically eroding constitutional law across this land. — Warren I watched Warren City Council vote on the JEDD for the Kimberly Clark project, with representatives from that corporation in attendance and was shocked on ...
