Where did all the primary politicians go?

DEAR EDITOR: PRIMARY POLITICIANS ARE MISSING! Where have they gone? Rumor has it that some of our elected leaders are mysteriously disappearing, those character-lite leaders who denigrate America’s time-honored democratic values of representative democracy, rule of law, and election integrity. Where have all these size “irregular” leaders gone? Rumors on Google-gossip state that Haitian immigrants are stealing and eating Northeastern Ohio’s integrity-impaired political leaders. Rumor proselytizes that Haitians from Springfield, Ohio, have re-migrated to the ...

Focus on responsibility for Alcohol Awareness Month

DEAR EDITOR: April is Alcohol Awareness Month, a time to reflect on your alcohol consumption. For adults who choose to drink, the new 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans emphasizes moderation, advises that drinking less is better for overall health than drinking more, and notes that some people should not drink at all. The scientific report that informed these recommendations defines moderate drinking as up to one drink per day for women and up to two per day for men. Examples of one drink include 12 oz. beer, 5 oz. wine, or 1.5 oz. distilled spirits. Each contains the same ...

Natural gas is the bedrock of Ohio’s energy future

DEAR EDITOR: Ohio is facing an unprecedented surge in energy demand, and as our state grows, the pressure on our electrical grid intensifies. It is critical that we rely on proven and affordable power sources to keep our communities safe and our economy moving. We cannot afford to gamble on intermittent energy, and natural gas plays a key role in ensuring our grid remains strong. Unlike other sources that fluctuate with the weather, natural gas provides the “baseload” power necessary to ensure our grid remains stable. This stability is what keeps energy reliable and affordable ...

Donald Trump’s threats to Iran are war crimes

DEAR EDITOR: On Easter Sunday morning, the president of the United States announced his intention to commit war crimes. That’s not hyperbole or partisan rhetoric. Legal scholars citing the laws of armed conflict, using the same framework American military commanders are trained on, confirm that deliberately targeting civilian power plants and bridges constitutes a war crime. Causing excessive suffering to civilian populations clears that bar. We called it a war crime after World War II. The label hasn’t changed. On April 6, The Vindicator ran the headline: “President ...

Sound off!

If 8 million people protesting “No Kings” thought it was going to overthrow our government, they should think again. They crowned Obama when he was in office too and said, “No Kings.” We ignored them and are ignoring you now! To get people over 100 years old to protest, that must have been the most exercise they have gotten in years. Shame on these organizers on social media! — Niles The never-ending saga of Danny Lee Hill rears its ugly head again! The ongoing farce of appeal after appeal is ludicrous. He has been found guilty time and again, and appeal after appeal has ...

Sound off!

After the LTTE heading: “Don’t be fooled by Trump’s tax numbers,” the submitter then wrote: “When will taxpayers realize that getting a refund is only getting back the money that they overpaid to the IRS?” I’d much rather get my own money back than have it go to some recipient of a wasteful government entitlement. — Hubbard AI data centers consume huge amounts of electricity compared to residential and small business needs. In addition, that need demands electrical infrastructure expansion that residents should not pay for. Here’s an example. When Copperweld Steel ...
