White supremacists are a stain on America DEAR EDITOR: I have a question for the 400 white supremacists who marched through Washington D.C., on July 4. What kind of a man needs to wear a mask, a hat and sunglasses and march onto a metro train and surround a young black girl sitting by herself? The answer is — a coward. I wonder where their bravado came from. What was this young girl supposed to do? Go home, pack and leave the country so only the superior white people could live here? Menacing people of color the way you did was not only criminal, but shameful! You do know ...

Well, it has been a long time coming and the Western Reserve Road widening project appears to be nearly completed. What a relief after all the detours and traffic issues. But has anyone noticed the railroad crossing near Southern Boulevard? What the heck? Did someone not realize that the crossing gate needed to be moved? The gate is right in the middle of the new lane and traffic is being directed around it. This project has been going on for years, and this was not addressed? Unbelievable! — Poland Wake up, America! Are you aware that the REPUBLICANS in the U.S. Congress voted ...

Youngstown can help heal today’s society DEAR EDITOR: Fifty years ago, on the bicentennial of the U.S., in 1976, the late Howard Aley published a book, “A Heritage to Share” giving a complete history of the Youngstown area from prehistoric times until July 4, 1976. He grew up on the South Side, graduated from South High School and YSU, was the editor of the Jambar and Trinity Chimes and was a teacher at Wilson High School for years. He referenced much of his book from Joseph Butler, the founder of the Butler Art museum. Joseph Butler was also a historian of Youngstown, writing ...

I apologize for not realizing that a President shows how much he cares for the average citizen by how much their retirement account earns. It’s not if people can’t afford housing, food, medication or gasoline. It’s not that the president has enriched himself by over $2 billion while in office. It’s not that the president pardoned 1,500 thugs who attacked our Capitol. I’m sure the millions of people who have NO retirement accounts are very happy that you earned $63,000 in yours. Congrats to you! — Youngstown Last year DJT made $2.2 billion off of being the president. About ...

Some sobering and sad thoughts to consider DEAR EDITOR: I find it incredibly sad to know that: Not only is racism rampant in our country and accepted by so many, but that it is led first and foremost by our president. That this administration is working to erase black history and replace it with lies. Almost 7,000 immigrant children are in detention centers right now. The number of children killed in these latest wars numbers in the thousands. Immigrants are being rounded up, thrown to the ground and beaten by thugs who would never let that happen to their own family ...

Congratulations to “Boardman” for chastising “Canfield” for his disgraceful rhetoric concerning our president. I am one of many who find “Canfield” disgusting and I wonder why he deserves so much weekly space in The Vindicator. Only in America! — Struthers The thing that bothers me the most about the radical left is how they refuse to believe Trump is our one true God. He knows more than all of the experts combined. He ran many businesses and he is very, very rich. And why do we need allies if He can stop all wars in 1 day? We don’t need to worry about the Supreme Court ...
