Well, the latest anti-Amy Acton ad has a young woman tell us what 2028 will be if Acton is governor. Hey if you know so much, are we on the verge of winning the war with Iran, and what's the price of gas?

Data centers are the current bogeyman and Brown says Husted is responsible for them in Ohio, ignoring he was A SENATOR, etc., during the building of almost every data center. My prediction is, if Dems win the mid-terms OR Trump says data centers are bad, the media and Dems will suddenly find how valuable they are and be all for them (thus the moratoriums).

We need to stop thinking about right versus left and start thinking about top versus bottom. In the 1950s the tax bracket for people making over $200,000 was 91%. That was to pay for WWII and the

'50s and '60s economies were booming. Today's equivalence is $2 million and 35%. And we never paid for Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan and now the Iran war. It's time the ultra-wealthy stop whining, learn true patriotism and pay a fair share to keep our country the best damn country in the world.

AI needs an oversight organization similar to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). IAEA is the world's protector for worldwide atomic-related issues. It's three main pillars include: 1) Safety and Security -- Ensuring nuclear materials and facilities are used safely and protected from misuse; 2) Science and Technology -- Supporting peaceful applications of nuclear science, including health, agriculture, and energy; 3) Safeguards and Verification -- Monitoring nuclear programs to verify compliance with international agreements. Why is anyone against something like this for AI?

Mike Loychik was a lackluster state rep. His last failed bill was to rename beloved Mosquito Lake after Donald Trump. He was voted out for a reason. Why would Trumbull County want failed leadership for auditor? He doesn't own property or comprehend home ownership. He is the only one allowed to comment on his social media page, so he can puff up his ego. Cast your vote on behalf of ALL Trumbull County residents and not for Mike Loychik.

Dems... wipe the smile off your face, stop pointing your finger and saying I told you so. WAKE UP and get serious about finding a strong, moderate male for the top of your ticket ... otherwise continue to watch this takeover. I guarantee you will not get (5%) of male voters with a woman on the top of your ticket, I guarantee you will not win with a far-left (help those who do not even try to help themselves) on the top of the ticket. Find a strong, moderate male. Get busy.

Why won't a congressperson look Trump right in his face for all to see and hear, and call him out. Tell Trump to shut up because all he is doing is LYING!!! Whenever that stooge of a leader talks, everyone knows he is a LIAR!!!! He and his loyal fools should be in jail!!!

Politicians running for office spend millions of dollars buying those nauseating attack ads that we've been bombarded with since January. They should know that most of us have tuned out those ads months ago since they are full of lies and misinformation on both sides. What motivates these people to spend millions for a job that doesn't pay nearly that much? Power? Greed? Perks? Many Americans are struggling to pay their basic living expenses while politicians waste money that could be used for the people they claim to represent.

When will both parties recruit new, competent leaders? After all the complaints about age and term limits, Sherrod Brown is back on the ballot for U.S. Senate after a 50-year career in politics. If elected, he will be 74 years old in November. We have two unproven candidates running for governor! It's getting harder to evaluate candidates with all the noise and attack ads! I understand why competent people won't subject themselves to both parties' attack machines.

Response to Chardon Sycophant's soundoff: Woe to free speech -- ask arrested parents at school board meetings or praying pro-life groups outside abortion centers. Woe to the right to assemble -- ask Charlie Kirk. Woe to Ukraine -- ask Biden ... he funded it. Woe to rule of law -- ask illegal immigrants who kill, rape, traffic and rob Americans. Woe to science -- ask Dr Fauci. Woe to two-term president -- -ask Obama, who disdained our country and pushed to fundamentally transform it.

-- Warren

House Speaker Mike Johnson is worthless. He thinks Donald Trump's $5,000 bribe, "paid to all citizens if the Republicans keep control of Congress," is a good idea. There is no better example of the corrupt attitudes and reckless spending of government today. Of course, Trump wants his name on this so-called "Trump dividend." This term, he has no one to discourage his sometimes foolish ideas -- like this war. We need a new Congress.

In 1970, we changed to permanent Daylight Saving Time, but it didn't last long. Since parents didn't want children going to school in the dark, they went back to Standard Time during the school year. Since we don't like changing our clocks, we could stay on Eastern Standard Time permanently.
