Why Trump isn’t worried about midterms DEAR EDITOR: When Donald Trump proclaims to all of us he is not worried about the midterms, I believe him. He may be the dirtiest and most prolific liar ever displayed by a President of the United States, but on this point he is telling the truth. The reason he has not a care in the world doing the most confounding things like endorsing the criminal Ken Paxton in Texas, suing E.Jean Carroll, prolonging the war in Iran, holding gas prices at such high levels to the detriment of all Americans is because he will proclaim a national emergency and ...

Again almost a full column in the Sunday Vindicator penned by a writer from Canfield preaching to all how the sky is falling, what politicians should say and how to run their campaigns. With all that wisdom one would think he would pick an office, run a campaign and get elected so he could change the world. There is more than one political view, and most people figure it out and keep it to themselves. TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome) is real. — Salem War-time gas prices: Who said, “What goes up must come down”? Thank you, Donald Trump. — Hubbard Each Saturday when I read ...

Poland residents work to beautify the village DEAR EDITOR: In June 2025, I stopped to talk with a woman tending the flowers on the bridge over Yellow Creek along South Main Street in Poland. During our conversation, I learned that for many years two dedicated volunteers — both named Laura — have quietly created and maintained the beautiful flower boxes that greet residents and visitors crossing our bridges. A few days later, I met Hugh Braham while he was walking across the same bridge. We began discussing ways to enhance the beauty of Poland Village in preparation for ...

Attention Canfield Cornball: After WWII America was deemed “ripe” for communism. The Democrat Party began turning more and more left. Progressives, socialists, Democrats are all considered “fellow travelers” on the road to full communism. Those who support these ideologies without fully understanding this goal are considered “useful idiots” by the world communist movement. Cradle to grave, womb to tomb government control of your lives. Classic Marxism, “From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs.” — Boardman If Graham Platner’s tattoos ...

Protein, protein, protein … just stop DEAR EDITOR: Most fads are stupid, not the least of which is the excess consumption of unnecessary protein, and this fad has gone on long enough. Everywhere I turn protein this protein that, stop stop stop with this ridiculous protein craze. I am no scientist or dietitian (so they tell me) but my reliable instincts told me the average American overconsumes protein and this was demonstrably true per studies by Harvard and Johns Hopkins by 20-50 percent; so now, in case my unimpeachable instincts were not sufficient evidence for my argument, there ...

I want to set the record straight. It is a lie that Democrats who dislike Trump hate our country. It is precisely because we love the USA that we detest Trump. We see him as destroying our democracy and our nation’s standing in the world. Another lie is that our beliefs are influenced by the media. All we have to do is listen to his hateful words and actions to know that his concern is not for this country but for himself! — Canfield Iran war = higher fuel costs = higher shipping costs = higher fertilizer costs = higher food costs = higher travel costs = higher anxiety for common ...
