Sometime ago I was in a meeting of Catholic men. A place where God is to be praised and worshipped. During this time two of the men joked that their hope is for Donald Trump to be killed by the end of the year. I don’t know about anyone else but I find this abhorrent. This is not the Catholic faith I want any part of. To any of you who pray for this to happen, there is a special place in hell for you. Just as a side note, God again protected President Trump.

I am perplexed by the proposal to relocate the Poland Library from its present location. According to “PLYMC’s Facilities Master Plan” their recommendations are partly based on “community feedback.” The community is strongly in favor of keeping the library in its current location. The library is beloved, centrally located and provides a variety of services to Poland and the community beyond. In a recent trip to the library, I saw a line of customers at the cafe. There was a party in a meeting room. There were shoppers purchasing books in the used bookstore.

Want to keep failing this state? Vote RED. Where does Ohio rank compared to nearby states? Health care? 44th. Illinois 28th. Income? 41st. Pennsylvania 20th. School finances? 44th. Illinois 15th. Growth? 38th. New York 35th. Economy? 39th. Illinois 18th. We are failing our citizens and children. Vote Blue.

King Charles is not the head of British government. Still, his visit offers 47 a chance to observe leadership with a dignity of service that honors. Or, perhaps, the president will just learn to comb his thinning hair to allow him to look more presidential and less vain at public events. Even in foul weather as when he refused to show in honor of our fallen heroes in Normandy.

Flip flopping Lindsey Graham has proclaimed tax dollars should be used (in this time of unaffordable necessities) to pay for Trump’s ego trip ballroom. Surely, the Senator knows more about threatening government contracts or settling bogus lawsuits to extract ‘voluntary’ donations for the room than to expect his golfing buddy be so bold.

Congress has recently shown resistance to using tax dollars to complete 47’s vision of a grand ballroom. I hope they persist. In fact, I think the current hole in the ground surrounded by hurricane fence, festooned with plastic gewgaw made to look like gold is a more meaningful testament to the legacy of Trump.

WHY do we NOT have an experienced TEAM to negotiate a peace agreement with Iran? We only have a wealthy Realtor with prior history with Russia and a son-in-law, a businessman, who walked away with two billion dollars from the Saudis after 47’s first term, then disappeared until now. Neither are experienced negotiators. Consequently, the needless war of choice continues costing the U.S. taxpayers millions. America, where are the ambassadors, the expert negotiators, and the nuclear physicists or John Kerry?

Now that the law firm of Bondi, Blanche,Trump (formerly DOJ) have successfully indicted Jim Comey for posting a photo of seashells, maybe Lindsey Graham can investigate the Atlantic Ocean for tidal destruction of evidence. A wave of his Disney bubble wand may prove as effective as an evidence-free Blanche prosecution.

Bike and scooter riders, please call out to pedestrians / slower riders as you approach. A simple, “On your left” or “Two on your left” warning would be great, giving the pedestrian time to get out of the way safely. Many of the park walkers are older and have decreased hearing, but this is important safety practice for all riders. The park has a sign, but it is not working as it is rare to have someone in MCP announce their presence. Make your presence known as you approach.

Why isn’t Trump concerned or leading the charge over the investigation into his 2024 assassination attempt? Who was “locked out” of the Iran Situation Room meeting when they were trying to reinstate the terms of the Obama Iran nuclear deal ? What family will make billions over this war? Why are Catholics upset with Trump? Who pays for the illegal tariffs? Who’s suing the USA for $10 billion? Who says you can’t touch me and never will?

When you cast your vote for Amy Acton, realize that she was with Gov. Mike DeWine as the chief health adviser only until August 2020 when she quit due to “A combination of heavy public scrutiny, political pressure, and ethical commitments.” She couldn’t handle the pressure.

Regarding the White House Correspondents Dinner incident, the president said, “This is not the first time in the past couple of years that our republic has been attacked by a would-be assassin,” invoking Butler, Pennsylvania, and Palm Beach. Mr. President forgets that dozens of would-be assassins attacked the Capitol on Jan. 6, and they were all pardoned. I will never understand how January 6 wasn’t an instant deal breaker for every single American.

Big Deal Don Don, without allies or public approval or a strategic goal says he already won the war he started. He lost the Georgia redistricting fight after ordering his lackey Texas governor to gerrymander his state, so he claims the Georgia measure must be illegal. 47 never thought Hormuz could be closed. He never thought Democrats would fight in Georgia. He loses almost as easily as he whines about it because he doesn’t think. Now he’s TACO Don for another reason. He forgot to get taco shells before cooking his meat.

Tucker Carlson should stick to ballroom dancing where his missteps are obvious to even the willfully ignorant. Do you think anyone should allow him to lead? Just asking. An apology does little for the damage to stepped-on toes, though.

Dear voters, I believe it is seriously time to invoke TERM LIMITS. I appeal to each voter to replace every elected politician on the national level. It’s time to send a message that arguing and fighting need replaced with cooperation and dialogue. BLINDLY following one’s party leaders has to go. Let’s send a message that enough is enough. Maybe then our new leaders will get the message and put their constituents first, not the party.
