Letter to the Editor, Iconic or iconoclastic The statues of Amistoso Águila Real and Friendly Bald Eagle are atop Presa la Amistad/Amistad Dam that serves as an international bridge which crosses the Rio Bravo/Rio Grande that connects the Mexico – United States border cities of Ciudad Acuña, Coahuila and Del Rio, Texas. Friendly : Have you heard some people want our statues to be removed? Amistoso : Why would they want our statues to be removed? We have proudly and patriotically greeted visitors from both sides of the border. Friendly: Well, now it seems that lamentably things are different. Things have changed. The times have changed regrettably not for the better. Amistoso: Some people think that it is best that we eradicate all the statues erected during the deplorable and despicable past. Because now eagles are considered politically incorrect patriarchal symbols that represent an ancient time of antiquity.   Friendly:   We represent

Letter to the Editor, Tex-Mex Tale-a-mundo Ranita Radiante is serenely sitting on the south shore of the Rio Bravo contemplating why people think it’s such an insult to say that ‘you have to kiss a lot of frogs before you find your prince’.  “I would rather kiss a lot of frogs than find a prince. What good is a prince? He’ll probably eat my frog legs and think it is a most magnificent meal. But I need my frog legs to hippity-hop around the river looking for a most handsome frog.” Froggy Finedude is happily hoppity-hipping all around the Rio Grande when he comes across the most beautiful sight he’s ever seen. He quickly makes his way to sit alongside her.  He gallantly introduces himself, “Hello to the fairest frog on this river or any river in the world. What do my eyes behold but the most beautiful creature that God has placed in His good earth? It is an honor and a privilege to make your acquaintance. I’m Froggy Finedude at your service,” he dashingly say

Letter to the Editor, October: Down Syndrome Awareness Month President Ronald Reagan was the first president to officially designate October as “National Down Syndrome Month” in 1984 by signing a resolution to that effect.   President Barack Obama, having been a radically pro-abortion president, unfortunately did not officially give recognition to Down Syndrome Awareness Month.  President Donald Trump continued the highly commendable tradition set by President Reagan by recognizing Down Syndrome Awareness Month in an official statement declaring, “During Down Syndrome Awareness Month, we celebrate the significant contributions that people with Down syndrome make to their families, to their communities, and to our Nation.  We also salute the family members, caregivers, medical professionals, and advocates who have dedicated themselves to ensuring that these extraordinary people enjoy lives filled with love and increasing opportunity.” His statement continued to

Letter to the Editor, Critical or cruise-control thinker Hello my name is Polly Parrott and I am proud to proclaim that I am a Main Stream Media Muppet (MSMM).  I proudly carry the label of Main Stream Media Muppet because all I ever do is merely regurgitate everything the mainstream media puts forth as facts and truth. Don’t tell me it is merely their opinion, because if it is their opinion then it instantaneously becomes my opinion also. I do not have a single, solitary thought of my own.
