Trump’s parade is a waste of time, money

DEAR EDITOR: Happy Birthday America’s Army! 250 years young on June 14. Let’s have a parade … for the Constitution, Liberty and the U.S. Army only! Rumor has it that the President plans to glom on to your parade for his 79th birthday, dimming your glory like a small moon eclipsing your solar radiance. The price may be $45 million or more. Paradoxically, in these days of economic instability, uncertainty, and tariff-mania, the President is asking children to embrace austerity, suggesting they only buy “five pencils” for school and for the girls to be gifted only ...

Trump’s plan for America is working

DEAR EDITOR: Democrats are in mourning today after Trump’s bill passed in the House. The tax breaks Trump gave you in his first administration will stay in place. Even Joe Biden knew enough to keep them. Medicare, and Social Security will be secure. Thousands of illegal aliens have Social Security now, like the 24-year-old in Perrysburg, Ohio posing as a 17-year-old, has a drivers license and Social Security card. Medicaid is safe for working families and single women with children. If you are able bodied you must work to get Medicaid. If you choose to stay in the basement playing ...

Why are we importing white South Africans?

DEAR EDITOR: How about a follow-up on the 49 white South Africans brought to the U.S. by a private charter plane? Who is paying? What will their status be? Where are they located? What benefits are they entitled to? What relations are they to Elon Musk, or are they just another distraction by Trump and Musk so they can continue destroying America while they continue to make private profits for themselves all over the world? Make what is going on front-page news instead of burying it where most people don’t ever read it. Start doing your job to protect us by providing the facts ...

Sound off!

Crybabies keep crying about President Trump. We put up with the Democrats destroying our country piecemeal, but now have a president who is trying to save America from becoming a Third-World country. You can’t fix in a few months what has taken decades to get us here. People bash Trump rather than stop wasteful spending and illegal aliens. Harris and Walz would have finished destroying this country had they been elected. Trump is more than qualified to run this country, so stop crying. He’s the president for the next four years. — Warren Ohio Rep. Dave Joyce voted to cut ...

Where did Trumbull’s general funds go?

DEAR EDITOR: I feel compelled to speak out following the revelations from this week’s workshop. Commissioner Tony Bernard raised an issue that many of us have quietly wondered about: Was there a misuse of ARPA funds, and were those funds used for political gain? Commissioner Bernard’s comments pointed to troubling possibilities regarding how ARPA money was handled specifically hinting that Commissioner Malloy may have used the funds to play politics instead of prioritizing the county’s true needs. If this is even partially accurate, we deserve answers. During the time ARPA ...

Water safety tips from the Coast Guard

DEAR EDITOR: Summer is a great time to enjoy local waters. Whether you’re a boater, angler, or water sports enthusiast, remember to be responsible around the water. May 17-23 was National Safe Boating Week. The Safe Boating Campaign, led by the National Safe Boating Council, offers safety tips: 1. Wear a life jacket. No matter what activity you have planned on the water, always remember to wear a life jacket every time. Accidents can happen much too fast to reach and put on a stowed life jacket. 2. Make sure your life jacket is U.S. Coast Guard-approved, appropriate for your water ...
