Five Pinocchio’s for Denny Malloy

Shame on Commissioner Malloy for mailing a false political card to county Republican residents accusing under the watch of Trustee Mike Hovis “80,000 of Stolen Funds” caused by security breach that Hovis had NO INVOLVEMENT. Trumbull County Common Pleas Court and 11th District Court of Appeals ruled Trumbull County Auditor Martha Yoder was fully responsible for transferring Bazetta Township funds to an illegal account. Yoder transferred funds to a noncertified bank not licensed in Ohio. VOTE HOVIS FOR COMMISSIONER

It’s time to address the proverbial “elephant in the room” — Denny Malloy. FIRED from ODNR due to his poor work ethic. WASTED millions and millions of dollars in ARP funds. VOUCHED for the 3C Foot Spa. PROMOTED additional sales taxes. RAISED our utility fees. FAILED to address failing infrastructure throughout the county. BROKEN promise after broken promise. Is that really a conservative elephant, or simply a donkey in disguise? Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi would be proud.

There were 1.76 million votes cast in the 2020 Ohio primary election that Vivek Ramaswamy seems to believe didn’t happen. Vote Amy Acton, a life-long resident of Ohio and planet Earth.

Jimmy Kimmel’s remark about Melania Trump went beyond his usual feeble attempts at comedy. His so-called “joke” was vile and beneath all standards of even the most questionable late-night comedic shows. If ABC and Disney have any remnants of decency, he will be fired and banned from all TV, including cable. This isn’t an attack on free speech; it’s an attack on hurtful and disgusting rhetoric in the guise of comedy.

The Justice Department has adopted firing squads as a permitted method of executions! Now what feeble excuse will Gov. DeWine use for “temporarily” halting death penalty verdicts? DeWine has maintained that “reliable” chemicals for lethal injections were difficult to find (even though other states had no problem). Now there is no excuse. Let’s get on with the business of executing the worst of the worst, which includes Danny Lee Hill. Guns up!

Why is it OK for our President to fall asleep or doze during national functions? Why is it OK for our President to go off the rails every night on his so called Truth Social and nobody bats an eye? There is a word called decorum that President Trump nor anyone in his Cabinet has heard of. If this was any other administration heads on spikes would be demanded.

Why the double standard? I guess I just can’t understand or stomach a country that put this megalomaniac back in power. The stupidity is terrifying. And before you tell me to move to another country, this is MY America first.

Well political ad season has begun. We are reminded that no one ever cast a vote for Amy Acton. But wait a minute. No one ever cast a vote for Vivek Ramaswamy either. Vivek may want to get a new ad writer.

As a multi decade Republican, I am fed up with candidates who constantly photograph themselves holding guns as though we are single issue voters. I am tired of those candidates whose fundraisers always center around guns. How about volunteering your time to educate the public on gun safety instead? BTW…no candidate loses my support faster than one who is clamoring for Trump’s endorsement. Campaign on your own values and beliefs. Tell me who you are and how you can improve our community.

Shelley Pratt is the only candidate I trust to be Probate judge. People like her opponent Tom Campbell are trying to attack her for wanting yet another layer of protection for seniors. I don’t care how many hotlines or investigators we have — I just want seniors and the vulnerable protected. Good for you, Shelley Pratt, for being willing to do the right thing and help our seniors. I will be voting for you.

Pope Leo, if you want to pray for peace around the world, I agree. To give an opinion on politics is wrong. I am Catholic and I do not want my priest to give me his opinion. I have never read or heard any pope say anything about any particular war, just prayers for peace. Iran has killed over 42,000 of its own people. Lenin, Stalin, Mussolini, Hitler, Hirohito, Pol Pot, Mao Zedong, Idi Amin and Saddam Hussein. Too many over centuries. Read about them, the cruelest and most evil men.
