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?

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.

I am absolutely appalled by the new ultimatum issued to residents at Poland Village Assisted Living. They are stopping the provision of basic necessities like toilet paper, Kleenex, paper towels and trash bags. How are the elderly individuals who cannot fully care for themselves supposed to handle this burden? Is this entirely driven by corporate profit? Our vulnerable seniors deserve basic dignity and support, not to be nickel-and-dimed for essential everyday supplies.

While his Iran war and his tariffs continue to drive up costs for everyday American's, DJT is focused on punishing an American Olympian and firing his most loyal supporter Jeanine Pirro over the Olympian touching a torn piece of the poorly installed DC reflecting pool. At the same time, he wants to reward the J6 rioters who defecated in the Capitol, beat policemen for hours, caused the death of four officers and caused $2.7 billion in damages that we paid for.

As I turn down what used to be a nice street the first thing I see is a swimming pool in a front yard. It is not a small children's blowup pool. It is a decent size. I can't believe that this is allowed. It looks terrible. This isn't the hills of West Virginia! Then in other areas of the neighborhood we have the ones that sit out on their porch all evening smoking weed. It might be legal, but should everyone around you have to smell it? I don't think so!

Retiring GOP senators are not heroically stopping Trump's slush fund. They're doing what comes naturally to congressmen. They're making certain they have lifeboats to escape the ship of state as it sinks under the weight of the most corrupt administration in the history of our country.

Watching the veterinarian tote around the red-scare bindle is just adorable. Of all the -isms tossed around these days about who we may become, his preferred operating principles have the strongest claim to the label "communism." The president must be free from Congress, free from audits, free to reward his allies, free to confabulate, free to reject a factual correction, free to jolt our energy markets, free to demean journalists and free to have taxpayers finance the entire arrangement.

A Sound Off writer from Canfield opined on how the Constitution "clearly designates only states will determine their election procedures." The writer obviously has not read Article 1, Section 4, which specifically authorizes that "Congress may at any time make or alter" state procedures.

Bernie Moreno is an embarrassment. In yesterday's formal Senate hearing, he used crude, vulgar language to express his arrogant indignation that Dr. Fauci wanted masks, social distancing and remote learning. Compared to Dr. Fauci's years of dedicated service to global health, Moreno has accomplished little in his career and time in the Senate. Shouldn't he have been angry that people were advised to drink bleach, swallow Ivermectin or Hydrdchloroquine, or use light to get rid of COVID?

Hey seniors, buckle up. Big changes are coming in 2027 to your Medicare prescription drug coverage (Part D). The "wannabe dictator" must not like people on fixed incomes getting discounted prescriptions so he's going to make a change and let his rich pharmaceutical buddies set the prices for your meds but shhh ... he doesn't want people to know because the midterms are coming. You would think by now these Kool-Aid drinkers would know a "deceiver" when they see one.

Trump's proposed ridiculous arc (de Trump) is to be 250 feet tall. The Lincoln Memorial is 99 feet tall. A 20-story building is anywhere from 200 to 300 feet tall. Giant Sequoia trees can reach 250-300 feet. This arc will dwarf the Lincoln Memorial and block views of Arlington Cemetery. It is another cost to the American people. Cooler heads must prevail in preventing this monstrosity.

"Former Warren G. Harding head coach remembers former student athlete who died in officer-involved shooting" says 21 News. NO, this should read "Local athlete died while SHOOTING and WOUNDING two POLICE OFFICERS THAT RETURNED FIRE." Don't do this, kids!

Sherrod Brown says he will make data centers pay for the electricity they use. Brown left office Jan. 3, 2025, and did nothing about data center electrical problems when he was in office. They have been building data centers long before 2007, when Brown entered the Senate.

Trump's SAVE Act requires a copy of the voter's birth certificate in order to vote by mail or in person. Black baby boomers are 3 times as likely as whites to not have a birth certificate because white hospitals refused to service them in the Deep South. Some of these same states require appearing in person in order to get a copy. It costs hundreds of dollars to fly south or is too difficult for the elderly poor to go by car.
