So that’s why the city of Columbiana is growing

Letters to the Editor

DEAR EDITOR: Thanks to The Vindy’s guest columnist section, we see the Youngstown/Warren Regional Chamber’s CEO loves his white people. “Columbiana is inspirational.” Yes, we know Columbiana is the last remaining city with a white population of over 99.5% in Ohio! This is verified with official sources. It doesn’t get any more clear why Columbiana is growing by leaps and bounds. Once you read through the data, Columbiana is attracting white people from high-tax suburban areas between Cleveland and Pittsburgh. Don’t call me a racist as I am only interpreting the data ...

Natural gas is the bedrock of Ohio’s energy future

Letters to the Editor

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 ...

Trump is seriously out of his mind

Editorials

On Easter morning, President Donald Trump posted: "Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!! "Open the F----n' Strait, you crazy b-----ds, or you'll be living in Hell - JUST WATCH!" he continued, adding, "Praise be to Allah." Now, I ask you: If you were in the Iranian regime, would you be: (1) frightened by this post or (2) relieved that you were finally causing Trump to melt down? I'd guess (2). You'd see his post and figure that Trump —- posting on Easter Sunday — has finally gone utterly and definitively ...

Pope Leo’s flawed war doctrine

Editorials

Pope Leo XIV used part of his Palm Sunday message to castigate the United States for attempting to stop Iran from becoming a nuclear power and threatening the world with mass destruction. In doing so, the “American Pope” confused the real enemy in the war. Addressing thousands in St. Peter’s Square, the Pope claimed God rejects the prayers of leaders who wage war. He called the Iran war “atrocious” violence that cannot be justified by faith. He further said that God doesn’t hear the prayers of people whose “hands (are) full of blood.” Does he not include Iran’s ...

Hanni’s judgment in signs, billboards is abominable

Letters to the Editor

DEAR EDITOR: If these blatant, in-your-face actions demonstrate in any measure Judge Mark Hanni’s character and reprehensible display of judgment he certainly is beneath the honor of a seat as judge. If you have not yet seen the absolute abominable campaign signs and billboards you certainly have heard about them. Democrat turned wannabe Republican Judge Mark Hanni’s sickening display of graphics used sacrilegiously is highly offensive to all, regardless of religious affiliation or its absence. The depth of expressed disdain and indifference to those of faith, let alone to the ...

Did you really think Trump would lower prices?

Editorials

President Donald Trump’s assault on our democratic institutions did not stop voters from giving him a second term. The top reason they cited for reelecting him was the economy, notably their unhappiness over high prices. During the campaign, Trump promised to “bring prices down, starting on Day One.” How he would do this was left to our imagination. It seemed something along the lines of using his awesome powers to freeze prices and even make some melt. That and a pack of lies. Two days back in office, Trump issued a “Fact Sheet” headlined “President Donald J. Trump ...
