McDonald residents are opposed to data centers DEAR EDITOR: As a longtime McDonald resident who attended and spoke at the 9/9/26 council meeting, I was again disappointed by the disregard the council members had for listening and engaging with the residents who spoke. Previously, we had been told that until recently, the development of a data center had not been in the works. However, that is not true. At the 9/9/26 meeting we were finally told that a company by the name of Oppidan has had a land contract since last year. The village was to hold a public meeting with Oppidan on its ...

Please help with the following requests: Get us out of the WAR in Iran, open the Strait of Hormuz, back off Canada, give U.S. the tariff $$ you promised, quit the tariff BS, submit the health-care reform plan you promised 10 years ago, fire your high-IQ department head minions, don’t meddle in our already fair elections, REGULATE AI before it’s too late, quit BS-ing us lower IQ citizens of our once proud country! Regards, us. — Boardman I love the ad criticizing Sherrod Brown for voting with other Democrats. What does every Republican do when they bow to Trump on every issue? ...

Has US fallen for Iran’s ‘rope a dope’ plan? DEAR EDITOR: The United States’ conflict with Iran reminds me of “The Rumble in the Jungle” heavyweight championship fight between Muhammad Ali and George Foreman in 1974. Foreman, the reigning champion, 25 years old, a devastating puncher and at the peak of his physical abilities, faced Ali, a former champion, 32 years old and arguably past his prime. The odds were overwhelmingly in Foreman’s favor. Ali adopted a strategy he called “rope a dope” that ultimately proved successful: He withstood his opponent’s relentless ...

With the increasing prevalence now of food recalls, some with daunting effects, it makes one wonder why this is not happening with more frequency. Let me pose a question: Has anyone ever seen a porta-potty in the picking fields? My case rests. Scrub those vegetables and produce! — Austintown I imagine any non-billionaire, MAGA-hat-wearer who believes voting for Trump will be good for them, or for America, may have over-tightened the self tapping wood screws holding their hat in place. There may be a “Liberation Day” screw driver available on 47’s merch site to help you ...

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 ...

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 ...
