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.

They say it costs millions to put a criminal to death. Today's paper mentions Rainey Bethea was publicly hung in 1936 for a crime committed in 1936. Yesterday Tennessee put a criminal to sleep 41 years after his crime. Oklahoma did the same after 23 years. Ohio's finest Danny Lee Hill is also on year 41. Let's celebrate by not setting any new records. We were way more efficient in 1936. How much does 41 years of toilet paper cost us?

The national news media refers to the battle to control the Democratic Party as a fight between moderates and progressives. This is misleading.It is a fight between liberal Democrats and Socialists. There is only one moderate Democrat and his name is John Fetterman.

The same people that complain about paying $4 a gallon for gasoline will pay $5 for a bag of chips. You can make potato chips in your kitchen. Try refining oil in your kitchen. Did you really think you would be paying $2.50 a gallon for gas the rest of your life?

There must be millions of illegal aliens who have committed serious crimes, but how come none have ever been convicted in a court of law. Why are those who enter the United States without a valid immigration status not be treated with the same legal representation that long time citizens have. We are all immigrants somewhere in our past.

Sherrod Brown runs commercials comparing a factory worker's pay to the pay of a CEO. He evidently does not understand the CEO has far more responsibilities.A CEO is responsible for billions of dollars in assets, hundreds of thousands of employees and hundreds of millions of dollars in payroll. A CEO is responsible for the future of that business.

I hope Donald Trump delivers a surprise prime time speech every month. His most recent rant was a nothing burger with chaos sauce and parasitic lettuce that revealed what a rotted tossed salad of paranoia, racism, misogyny, ignorant economic policy, empathy and fact-free chest thumping his administration embraces. Remember it as you consider your vote. Remember, too, that every GOP member of Congress enables him and hopes to pour enough oil and vinegar to cover their complicity in the corruption.

In less than three years, our government has been diminished to BRAT government. Big (bilions & trillions) of your taxes wasted. Republican (collaborating congressional wimps). Asinine (see Trump – wars, tariff taxes, speeches, narcissism, despot loving, Cabinet meetings, diplomacy, failures, grifting). Tragic (it's now and getting worse). Your poverty, illness, lack of housing, education, and total denial of civil, constitutional rights are its goals. VOTE and deny any phony Trump "emergency" attempt to deny your right.

Hegseth and Trump (fake spurs) started this war: NO APPROVAL of Congress and NO COMMUNICATION with allies! Both are responsible for IGNORED consequences. Expert negotiators, NOT son-in-law and Realtor, are essential for peace talks WITHOUT 47's THREATS. Hegseth preached movie scripts to military then required testosterone testing, now denied poor sanitary conditions on the Lincoln. 47 claimed nine months at sea NOT long enough! Many allies suffered attacks and now criticized 47's failures: inconsistencies, incompetence, threats, and poor negotiations. Their TRUST in U.S. and relations now questioned!

A front-page article in this weekend edition of The Vindicator was about affordability and Social Security and Medicaid. These programs are being stretched to the limit because under the Biden administration, illegal immigrants were allowed on these programs. They have no right to get these benefits. If you want these programs to survive, let it be given to the citizens who earned it. Also if people can't afford food and utilities, why are all the restaurants and stores filled?

Where were you? Where were you when Williams, Smith, Brungard, Isaac,Tidwell, Strollo, Delagianis & Wilkins all made playoff history? The goal line stand against Marshall? Were you there when one of the best teams in the country with the best QB in the country faced Yale? Watching the Buckeyes? Where were you? No where! Football town? Support your hometown team ! See you in the fall, fair weather fans! Never mind, those that should be reading this don't get the Vindy.

I've needed to go to the Mahoning County Courthouse recently. Kudos to the staff there. I've been in the recorder's office and the auditor's also. They are so professional and helpful to those of us that don't have knowledge of the forms and information needed. Even the police at the scanner had a "Good morning." Thanks to all
