Letter to the Editor, Political machines of major parties In this country under the façade of Presidential candidates of the two major parties, machines are stalking the voters. The voters don’t know what to do because these Presidential candidates are after them. And no one can help the voters except for a few obscure candidates known as Third-Party Candidates, sent to protect the voters who have been targeted for detonation and termination. Voters:  How can the two major party candidates for President keep on getting up after so many falls? Third-Party Candidates: They’re not human, they’re machines; she’s Clinton the Detonator and he’s Trump the Terminator.

Third-Party Candidates: We came to fight them for the good of the country and all its citizens. Voters

Del Rio participates in the National Day of Remembrance for Aborted Children   On September 10 at 3:00 p.m. the Del Rio Christian faith community came together to participate in the National Day of Remembrance for Aborted Children to honor the gravesites and memorials of our Unborn Brothers and Sisters.

Those present were blessed with an overcast sky which provided cover from the otherwise sweltering September sun and a cool and refreshing breeze swept throughout the area producing a comfortable environment for th
