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 ...

Lying should not be a good look for a US president DEAR EDITOR: All politicians lie. That’s not a new concept, and whether it is true or not doesn’t matter when too many people accept it as fact. The Trump era has brought us to a tipping point: Since lying is ubiquitous, it must not be wrong. This is dangerous territory for a democracy. I’ve known hundreds of politicians, and I’m sure some, maybe even many, lied. Sometimes, I could tell if they were lying; sometimes I figured it out later through fact checking. But I never knew anyone who lied the way President Trump does. ...

High gas prices and inflation. Iran will never negotiate in good faith. Taking out Kharg Island, and bombing Tehran, if necessary, might eliminate the fanatical leaders. Only when they are gone will there be peace and will the Strait of Hormuz be open for free travel. If gas prices stay high, the Dems will win the midterms and impeach 47. Iran and their proxies will then continue their terror with nuclear enhancement. — Columbiana While Trump and the Republicans have cut billions of dollars in taxes for the ultra-rich, they signed into law in July 2025 a 10% reduction of hundreds of ...

Haworth’s analogy about immigrants was wrong DEAR EDITOR: I really have to disagree with Ian Haworth’s editorial printed on Monday, July 6, regarding the Supreme Court’s decision to uphold birthright citizenship. He uses a very poor and purposely slanted analogy of he and his wife breaking into a neighbor’s home, having a baby in the home and then forcing the parents in that home to raise the child. In the analogy, he also mentions that he and his wife are “rifling through your fridge.” The majority of immigrants into the US want to raise their own families and contrary ...

Why do we see endless outrage directed at immigrants from Haiti, Venezuela and Somalia, while Ukrainians get a free pass? Is it really that simple — they just happen to be white and Christian? Besides, who do they expect to rebuild and fix that country after the war when Ukraine is left as a deserted island? — Salem At the point when a million-dollar mistake was made and checks started to bounce, Ciccone should have been fired. It’s time for him to resign. Taxpayers deserve more than incompetence. — Niles I am absolutely appalled by the new ultimatum issued to residents at ...
