Kudos to the Tribune editorial staff for questioning Judge Campbell’s light sentence given to Anthony Marble-Salem for causing the vehicular homicide of Nick Stoian. Campbell’s pronouncement should be vacated, and the guilty party should be retried. It is ridiculous that taking a man’s life was punished by such a paltry sentence. Mr. Stoian not only lost his life, but the lives of his family (wife and three young children) will forever be altered. Remember this at the next election!

Again this week I laughed as I read Sound Off. The usual writers from Canfield and Campbell write letters filled with the latest Democrats’ words of the day about President Trump. What do these people do all day? just watch CNN or MSNBC? I can’t imagine having so much hate for one person. President Trump won the election. Instead of bashing him, contact your Democrat politicians to come up with policies that the American people will embrace because right now their messaging is falling on deaf ears.

What a buffoon. Our leader just handed over control of his world leadership power to China, Russia and India. How much longer are the cowards in the House and Senate of the Republican Party going to stand by and watch this self-pro-claimed genius ruin our country? Will it be past the point of return? Come on man, it’s time to grow a pair, stand up for what makes this country great and send this guy and his misguided policies packing.

Trump says: “I am highly educated; I know words, the best words.” Analysts claim he reads and talks at a sixth-grade level. 47 says he has the best temperament, most respect for women, reads the Bible more than anyone, greatest jobs president, most humble celebrity, done more for the disabled, knows more than anyone on foreign policy, “They call me President of Europe,” will also bring down gas and food prices. IS THIS ALL TRUE?

President Trump has announced that the administration is taking an ownership interest in chipmaker Intel. Where is the outrage? Where is the hue and cry from conservatives who espouse free markets and free trade? Socialism and communism impose government control of industries, not the United States of America, a capitalist economy. Why the silence from freedom-loving America First?

It is disappointing that the Tribune is an aspiring rag newspaper. It shows newspaper bias by the local political guest columnists giving their biased opinion. In addition, they were granted free name recognition publicity. All Tribune readers count on facts in evidence, not the spin on current state, local and national politics. Tribune subscribers are wider than MAGA readers. Please be fair.

If you are more bothered by a company changing its logo than you are by another school shooting, you should re-evaluate your values. Thoughts and prayers don’t seem to be slowing down massacres.

The raid on Trump’s house was because he took papers and then wouldn’t return them when ordered by the government. The raid on Bolton’s house was because Trump didn’t like what Bolton was saying about him. Difference?

The president’s assault on scum in dangerous inner-city neighborhoods should be a welcomed move. It might be appropriate to apply sports team nicknames in the form of singular-sounding collective nouns to major U.S. cities and their lawlessness. The former Cleveland Crunch indoor soccer team and the WNBA’s Indiana Fever and Minnesota Lynx are examples of respectable nicknames. Three cities qualifying for the hall of shame would be the D.C. Crime, Chicago Shot and L.A. Loot. Trump’s plan has merit; now let’s hope it works.

While answering a question at the Canfield Fair about Insight-Steward Hospital issues, U.S. Sen. Bernie Moreno stated, “I think that in the next thirty days, we’re gonna see a big announcement.” It’s the same old story. We have been hearing about a “big announcement” for months. How will that hospital open without physicians, nurses, support staff, equipment, etc? How can we trust the incoming group? We continue to be in trouble, folks.

Let’s start making America great again by going back to the 1960s, when John F. Kennedy assured the nation that he would be a president who is Catholic, not a Catholic president. And when parents who wanted their children to have a religious education sent them to a parochial school (and they paid the tuition, not the taxpayers who may be of a different religion or no religion at all).
