Remember where we started 250 years ago DEAR EDITOR: After 250 years, what is your contribution? Let me ask, how old are you? When is your next birthday? Ask yourself, “Looking back across all my birthdays, what have I accomplished?” Our country has 250 birthdays to look back on. Wow … 250 years! How many books would be needed to list every single accomplishment made by our country? How many people have made up the total population of this special land since its very beginning? Whatever number is the answer, each person who has ever lived or is living in our country has ...

Parents in the Brentwood Boulevard area of Niles have no concern with their young kids riding their bikes in the middle of the road. People drive out of control in this area speeding, and law enforcement does nothing. These kids swerve in and out of driveways and do not look for cars. It is going to happen, then parents will be screaming at the drivers. They need to be teaching their kids the proper way to ride. — Niles Unfortunately, former Ohio Health Director Dr. Amy Acton must set up a rumor control page on her website, just like FEMA did during Hurricane Helene to dispel all ...

Is Islam really a religion of peace? DEAR EDITOR: Is Islam a religion of peace, as the media often claims, or is it also a political system that can be used to challenge or overtake an existing free and open society? If Islam is truly a peaceful religion, why do some Islamist extremists promote terrorist activity, and why do Muslim leaders fail to condemn such activity publicly and forcefully when it occurs in our country and around the world? How many Catholics or Christians in the past 50 to 100 years have bombed, destroyed, or killed large numbers of people in the name of Jesus ...

There are 1,300-1,500 babies born to illegals in Springfield, Ohio. Now eligible for Trump Accounts. End birthright citizenship or we will have many more babies there. Ohio taxpayers deserve the same benefits as the illegals. DeWine is lying when he says that they are helping the Ohio economy. They are taking more than giving. — Hubbard In 1898, President McKinley annexed the Kingdom of Hawaii, at that time a republic. The citizens had no vote! McKinley was from Niles. It rubbed off on Niles, which doesn’t ask the citizens of a township if they want to be part of the city. They ...

Some sobering and sad thoughts to consider DEAR EDITOR: I find it incredibly sad to know that: Not only is racism rampant in our country and accepted by so many, but that it is led first and foremost by our president. That this administration is working to erase black history and replace it with lies. Almost 7,000 immigrant children are in detention centers right now. The number of children killed in these latest wars numbers in the thousands. Immigrants are being rounded up, thrown to the ground and beaten by thugs who would never let that happen to their own family ...

Democratic Party, get to know this woman, Darializa Avila Chevalier, of New York, endorsed by Mayor Mamdani. She is one of three communists who won an election as a nominee for the 13th Congressional District. She posted this, which is now deleted, “I forgot to get napkins so I just wiped my hands on the American flag behind me.” This is now your Democratic Party? Disgraceful! As for digging up info on Bernie Sanders from 40 years ago, this is now the norm for this party. — Niles The thing that bothers me the most about the radical left is how they refuse to believe Trump is our ...
