Chair's Corner

After yesterday and today’s Supreme Court rulings let’s talk a little bit about Donald Trump’s track record of defeat

Marriage? Two divorces equals two losses

Crime-solving? Nice job on the Central Park Five, Donald. One big loss.

Running Casinos? Six Bankruptcies. Six huge losses.

Winning a majority of the vote? Three times a majority of voters supported someone else

Winning the popular vote? Two times he didn’t even get the most votes.

Not being able to see your reflection in the reflecting pool after telling people it’s fixed? You guessed it, another loss.

War in Iran? The Islamic Republic of Iran is now stronger than it’s ever been. That’s an L.

This is 16 defeats and I’m only doing a 60 second video.

At this point, Trump is like the kid who gets a participation ribbon. America can’t afford participation trophies. We can’t afford more losing.

Vote Democratic.

BEDFORD, Ohio — Bedford Municipal Court Clerk and Court Administrator Thomas E. Day Jr. will retire at the end of this week after a nearly four-decade career in public service, court officials announced Tuesday.

Day, who spent more than 38 years with the Bedford Municipal Court, oversaw key operational changes during his tenure, including the court’s transition to its current facility and the modernization of its management systems.

Court officials said Brian P. Downey, a longtime magistrate and chief magistrate, will step into the role of clerk and court administrator following Day’s retirement. Downey has served the court for more than 14 years.

And what better way is there to celebrate July 4th? We’ll be standing up for democracy on our country’s birthday!

Please join us as we gather each week from noon to 2:00 pm in front of Tesla Motors, 5180 Mayfield Rd, Lyndhurst.

What began as a protest against Elon Musk when he worked with/for Trump last year has expanded to a protest against the administration's domestic and foreign policies. The Tesla Motors site is a high visibility location for protest because of the number of cars passing by on Saturdays.
