There are scarier things than socialists DEAR EDITOR: A recent screed in The Vindicator op/eds surprised me for its lengthy attempt to tar Democrats as socialists and communists based on elected and nominated officials. The writer could have had an easier job of it by reviewing the “accomplishments” of the Trump administration and its collaborators in Congress. The writer’s anxiety over “… 250 elected offices …” held by what he deems are socialists is less scary when you realize there are more than 500,000 elected officials holding office, so about .0005% of elected ...

Sound off!

It’s funny how our current regime is busy buying up shares of big companies. That’s SOCIALISM! LOL! How ironic and revealing to anyone with half a brain. And it’s funny how our current leader falsely curses Democrats as Communists when he, himself, embraces pure Communist dictators Putin and Kim Jong Un. Ha ha, again, very funny. Wake up, America! I’m addressing YOU out there, at least, who’re left with an HONEST semi-lucid, intelligent brain. OMG! I’ll repeat, WAKE UP AMERICA! — Boardman A recent Vindy article asks that we restore the death penalty. Of the 8,500 death ...

Where did our parents’ Democratic Party go? DEAR EDITOR: I have not read the paper all summer and as I return to it, I see all the same names that have been afflicted with Trump Derangement Syndrome. Trump is responsible for all things bad, and the sound off writers are worse. Do these people still believe in the Democrat Party? That party has been hijacked by the Democrat Socialists of America, and they are spreading faster than cyclospora. They currently hold more than 250 elected offices and many more are running for office in the midterms. The DSA are against everything that ...

Sound off!

I am disappointed that The Vindicator would publish such a bigoted article as that written by Victor Hanson on 8/22/26. He ignores Jim Crow, red-lining, last hired first fired, the education gap, poor health care, the war on drugs, poor schools’ vs. rich schools, infantile mortality, etc. Boardman students will score higher than Youngstown school students on the SAT because of their wealth and where they live, not the color of their skin or gender. The Vindy can do better than this. — Campbell As the Capitol and the White House sit at higher elevations than the Lincoln Memorial ...

Prepare for the constant noise of data centers DEAR EDITOR: The transformation of voters into cicadas. Our future life in an industrial park. This is what the wealthy have planned for America, while they themselves leisure hundreds of thousands of miles away. America shall be humming away, literally. Data center noise typically remains audible within a 0.5- to 2.5-mile radius, a continuous hum of 55 to 85 dBA. Prolonged exposure to noise over 70 dBA can cause permanent hearing damage. Something like the 7-year itch of a cicada, with their loud buzzing sound, only opposite with a ...

Sound off!

Another disgusting executive order by 47, ignorant of the subject matter. With no consideration for consequences, he reduced the number of immunizations necessary to prevent disease in children AND he stated that the MMR vaccine for measles, mumps, and Rubella should be separated into three separate injections. That multiplies the number of injections at unknown intervals and multiplies doctor visits while taking health insurance from millions. Is IGNORANT! There is NO MEDICAL reason to divide this safe, decades-proven, effective vaccine. — Canfield They say it costs millions to put ...
