Embrace AI’s good qualities but with several conditions DEAR EDITOR: Indictment, a useful word in the age of Trump, might have escaped my vocabulary if not for the low-end AI spell check function. Waiting to “discover,” as 47 “discovered” groceries or the “b” in dumb, would have taken longer than his baseless, punitive lawsuits. AI is noisy and dirty and sucks up water and electricity and a lot of open space. Its speed can help find cures for disease, improve travel and general safety, speed crime investigation, provide more accurate meteorological data and maybe even ...

Fact: Vivek Ramaswamy gave up on Ohio by moving his business to Texas and took $1.7B in assets to Texas He didn’t think Ohio was good enough for his business. Is this who you want as governor? Then you have Jon Husted who voted for the war, the Big Beautiful Bill, which cut Medicare and Medicaid. He voted not to release the Epstein files and took money from Epstein’s advisers as well as FirstEnergy. How is he going to help you? Vote Brown and Acton. — Youngstown Amy Acton will not agree to debate Vivek Ramaswamy for Ohio governor This implies that she is unprepared to serve ...

Be sure to keep score as Election Day approaches DEAR EDITOR: I know there is not a lot of interest in midterm elections, but there should be. I know it’s hard to pay attention to what they say and what they don’t say, which makes me have to read between the lines. Keeping score isn’t easy either. It’s harder than calling balls and strikes. Dad rule (I was right). It seems to me there is more at stake in this midterm than most. Trump knows construction: 1) pour the footer, let it cure; 2) Build the foundation 3 or 4 courses at a time. Let that cure; 3) Finish the ...

We need the truth. Husted’s ads are lies. One ad states Brown approves of sex change surgery on children. He does not. Soren is from Texas, had surgery at 19. Then a picture of a frightened child. This is deceptive! Another ad states that Husted has “character.” Would a person of “character” be associated with the worst corruption case in Ohio history? FirstEnergy gave him a million dollars for his campaign. We got higher electric bills. We need Sherrod Brown. — Poland Are you better off today than you were two years ago? The answer is no. — Hubbard I have always ...

Acton intruder should face felony charges DEAR EDITOR: It is a sad commentary when an individual in this state, with two guns and a stun gun on his person, can knock down and injure several people at a political rally as he heads toward a candidate for governor, and face only misdemeanor charges. In our climate of political violence, this is a recipe for disaster. Already some are shamefully claiming the incident was not serious. Fortunately, Gov. Mike DeWine has spoken out about such misleading and perhaps ultimately dangerous rhetoric. STEPHEN GLADSTONE Shaker Heights Did you ...

When 47 wanted to make Canada the 51st state of America, Canada fought back. As retribution, 47 levied exorbitant tariffs, up to 50%, on Canadian imports, essentially huge taxes on Americans. He claimed we do not need Canada, a lie! US gets vital minerals, auto parts, lumber, aluminum and steel from Canada. There is NO valid reason to destroy our years of friendship, relations and trade with our bordering neighbor just for ignorant spite or self-enrichment. Again, 47 has damaged relations with allies near and far. — Canfield The Kennedy Center is a MEMORIAL to JFK, a beloved ...
