Letters to the Editor

Why Trump is the only safe choice

To the editor: It is essential for the future of our country that we pull ourselves out of the Biden corrupt, incompetent and vitriolic morass. My dozen compelling reasons why Trump is the only logical option, are as follows: • No. 1: He doesn’t need the money and can’t be corrupted — none of his kids are on the board on any company in Ukraine. • No. 2: He is a businessman and knows how to manage a budget. For example, he has implemented tariffs to safeguard our industries — look at the demise of our steel valley after the Democrats failed to protect us or look ...

Vote no on Issue 1

To the editor: There has been a great deal of confusion about what issue one does and doesn’t do. Let me help. What it does do is to create a bureaucratic commission that is completely unaccountable to taxpayers which eliminates voter influence over redistricting in Ohio — a tradition that has existed since our state’s founding. It also undoes anti-gerrymandering provision that overwhelming majorities of Ohio voters approved in 2015 and 2018. Issue 1 would allow retired politicians to handpick their friends and political cronies to serve on this commission and leave voters ...

Save America from evil

To the editor: I don’t live in a garbage can country — it’s a great country, and always has been, but will it continue to be so? Although there is some trash needing thrown out, it’s stale. Its been eight years of this trash talk and it needs to end. We all have been warned of false prophets. Paul makes it clear in Acts when he says to Bar-Jesus, a false prophet, “Then Paul filled with the Holy Spirit, “You son of the devil, full of every sort of trickery and villainy, enemy of all that is good, will you never end your opposition to the Lord.” All I want is for ...

Democracy or dictatorship?

To the editor: There is no situation that former President Donald Trump won’t use to discredit the Biden/Harris administration to provoke his followers against the Democrats. He’s a pathological liar. In the tragic circumstances of Hurricane Helene, Trump made up lies about the current administration. He was with the Rev. Franklin Graham and the Samaritans help group in Georgia. He announced that President Biden never contacted Gov. Brian Kemp, like implying Biden didn’t care about helping. And he said that Vice President Kamala Harris was out campaigning and trying to make ...

Issue 1 campaign underhanded

To the editor: I just got another one today — that makes at least four fliers from the group Citizens Not Politicians assuring me that a “citizens commission” will end gerrymandering. These Citizens Not Politicians promise to ban current and former politicians (fellow citizens whom we elect to serve and can vote out of office if we wish) and to operate under an open and independent process. What they don’t say is that I would have to give up my constitutional rights to hold them accountable if their process isn’t quite as fair and open as they promise, and that I’ll pay an ...

Right is right, wrong is wrong

To the editor: Republicans keep asking Kamala Harris why she isn’t doing now what she’s promising to do if elected president. Maybe it’s because the Republican-controlled Senate is more interested in winning elections than solving problems. For example, the absence of border legislation during Joe Biden’s presidency can be traced to the GOP’s inaction. Driven by Donald Trump’s influence, Republicans effectively sabotaged a bill they initially coauthored, aiming to create the narrative that Biden neglected the “immigration mess.” However, the situation’s more ...
