So Trump completely caved to the North Koreans and promised to end all training exercises on the Korean Peninsula. What did we get in return? Nothing!
This summit meeting between Trump and Kim accomplished nothing, unless you think it’s an accomplishment to cozy up to the world’s worst tyrant, someone who has ordered the execution of his own family members and keeps his countrymen in poverty and misery.
Portage Mayor James Snyder and his legal team have reached the absurd level. They are comparing his case to that of President Trump’s Attorney Michael Cohen now. Sure, flatter yourself while you waste money delaying your inevitable sentence.
When are uninformed, “educated” Trump supporters going to do research prior to writing to Quickly? In 2017, the U.S. exported $673.9 billion dollars to Canada, providing the U.S. $8.4 billion surplus. So far in 2018, $98 billion dollars in goods have been exported to Canada.

Why aren’t actors and comedians allowed to have those same first amendment rights to speak their opinions? Why don’t people get as outraged when our president makes juvenile or vulgar rants? Why are some people held to a different standard?
The American Medical Association is opposed to physician assisted suicide. Anyone that has watched their loved ones suffer from long, painful, debilitating diseases, know that the patient is not their primary concern. Money has always been the motivating factor in prolonging life, by whatever means.
