Congress: Stop aiding the genocide by Israel

DEAR EDITOR: Some years ago, I was watching a World War II documentary with a family member. On screen, emaciated German Jews were being beaten and driven like cattle by their Nazi captors. This family member turned to me and asked “How can human beings treat each other like that?” I just shook my head, but my unspoken thought was that we are not so far removed from history, that many people today would not only look the other way but actively participate in such atrocities, that such cruelty is latent in human nature and must be consciously guarded against. The great Irish ...

Sound off!

The letter writer from Burghill on Aug. 23 was absolutely correct in stating that hydrilla and other aquatic plant life in Mosquito Reservoir do provide good cover and oxygen to numerous fish in the lake. This enables the fish to hide, breed, grow and multiply. Yet, it is important to note that as the aquatic plants die off, the decomposition of them uses up oxygen levels in the water resulting in numerous fish dying or a “fish kill” as it’s called. — Cortland Kudos to David Plattt, Burghill for his Letter to the Editor, Tribune Chronicle, August 23, 2025 for providing a ...

Trump-Hitler comparisons are inaccurate and lazy

DEAR EDITOR: To those who compare President Trump to Adolf Hitler, I urge you to reconsider. While stationed in Germany, I visited Dachau Concentration Camp and saw firsthand the evidence of Hitler’s atrocities. He was responsible for the systematic murder of millions of civilians. To equate that level of evil with any American president is not only historically inaccurate but also diminishes the memory of those who suffered and died u nder true tyranny. Ask the Jewish families who fled Europe during and after World War II whether they see a similarity. For them, the Holocaust ...

William Shakespeare absolutely said it best

DEAR EDITOR: From Macbeth, Act 5 Scene 5: “And all our yesterdays have lighted fools The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle! Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player That struts and frets his hour upon the stage And then is heard no more: it is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing.” J.P. WAS Warren

Commissioners, stay in your lanes on Mosquito Lake

DEAR EDITOR: An open letter to Trumbull county Commissioners Denny Malloy, Rick Hernandez, Tony Bernard: As an avid sportsman who has been fishing Mosquito Lake since I relocated here in 1995, I feel strongly that I can no longer watch the hypocrisy that I have been viewing through various media outlets through the sidelines and keep quiet. To understand the growth of the Hydrilla, and various other aquatic plants you must first understand the very basics of an aquatic ecosystem from the beginning and continued sustainability. Over the years, we have witnessed Mosquito Lake greatly ...

Trump administration appears to mock religion

DEAR EDITOR: Administration 47 is rather alarming in, well, its administration. It defies biblical teachings, but many serving in this administration wear crosses. I am not a biblical scholar or a religious zealot, but the following actions are disturbing: Jesus would not treat undocumented immigrants as they are currently being treated. See Matthew 25:35 as to how you treat others that are strangers. If one believes that God created Earth, then should not His children be allowed to live anywhere created by God? Correct me if I am wrong, but I do not think that the United States ...
