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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
