Strange times Dear Editor, I wanted to comment on the tense situation in the Middle East. As a nation we have experienced one war after another in that part of the world; negotiations take place, peace treaties are signed and within days death and destruction return. However, this time things feel strangely different. There’s a sense of finality; of events gearing up and winding down at the same time. A month ago I wrote concerning a prophecy in the book of Daniel in the Old Testament. It describes a war in the Middle East which eventually leads to the Second Coming of Jesus ...

Restore Liberty Street or lose Dear Editor, I care about public spaces because they remind us that we belong to each other. Here in Warren, we have the bones of something real — something that can bring people together. Liberty Street isn’t just a road. It’s a corridor full of history, life, and possibility. But if we want it to matter again, we have to be honest: the renovation of Liberty Street buildings isn’t optional. It’s critical. When buildings are restored, something comes alive in the street. Windows glow, doors open, and the street speaks again. People slow ...

Rally signs Dear Editor, Most Saturdays I can be found from noon to 1 o’clock standing outside the Warren Courthouse holding a sign. I have been told by many — liberal as well as conservative — that it is a waste of time. I don’t agree. I now hear that the signs have stupid messages. Again, I disagree. I find many of them witty as well as meaningful. I cannot speak for others, but I will share the messages on my signs and explain why I wrote them. 1. Everyone is Entitled to Due Process Under the Law. Everyone. Including immigrants. Including illegal immigrants. That ...

More than hypocrisy Dear Editor, A recent article stated that hypocrisy is a symptom of Trump Derangement syndrome. That most definitely is correct. But hypocrisy is not the sole symptom, it is joined by hate, intentional blindness, and jealousy. Everything that Trump is currently doing has been done by previous presidents including the most recent three Democrats in Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, and Joe Biden even though Biden didn’t and still doesn’t know he did! Some of the actions are, but not limited to, bombing of other countries without Congressional approval, ...

Persistence for victims Dear Editor, For several years now, I have been troubled by the Jeffrey Epstein story — not because it was sensational, but because it never truly felt resolved. Too many questions were left unanswered. Too much silence followed. That is why the recent work of the United Nations, through independent experts appointed by the UN Human Rights Council, matters. Earlier this month, they began examining the Epstein files in a way that finally takes the scope of the harm seriously. What these experts describe confirms what many have long suspected: this was not ...

Losing our faith Dear Editor, I want to comment on the present situation in our country. Rather than experiencing a “new golden age,” things continue to deteriorate. In terms of our leaders in Washington, the temptations of power and wealth seem far too seductive! We’ve always had corrupt politicians, but the situation now appears to have reached a whole new level — and I’m referring to both parties! I keep pondering the question that Abraham addressed in the Bible; “Are there 10 righteous men in Sodom?” With the partial release of the Epstein files we are given a ...
