Attention parents: Did you show livestock as a kid? Has your kid benefitted from the Big Bend Livestock Show? We are asking for your help. Big Bend Livestock show is a great weekend in January, but it is also a year round volunteer board run by those in our community. As with any volunteer-based program, it takes a lot of people and time to run an organization smoothly. Last year alone we had roughly 80 kids through our sale, and gave back $275,000 to the kids.

Joe Biden says 80 million Americans unvaccinated for COVID, with no exceptions for natural immunity or any other good reason, are irresponsible and threaten the vaccinated, yet he makes exceptions for Congress, federal judges and their staffs, postal workers, and illegitimate migrants from around the world. Was his vaccine mandate a Freudian slip about the true worth of COVID vaccines, or was it just an intended insult to the Americans who won’t bow down to his dictatorial Democrat regime?

Medical fitness Masking is for raccoons and bank robbers, not children. Let’s talk fitness.

As I watched the Afghanistan debacle unfold it brought back memories of another time. A time when the U.S. government and the American media lied to the American people for years as young soldiers were killed and maimed, both physically and mentally. The Afghanistan desertion is a repeat of the Vietnam disgrace.

We wish to thank all of our family and friends for your thoughts, prayers, and acts of kindness during our time of sorrow due to the loss of our wonderful mother, Frances P. Jimenez. We also want to thank all those who helped to make Mom’s funeral service so uplifting. Among those, Fr. Pablo Matta for leading the Mass and his heartfelt sermon, the Spanish choir for providing the inspiring music, our dear Tia Olga for leading us in the Rosary, all who served as pallbearers, all who sent the beautiful flowers, and last but not least we wish to thank our cousin Cecelia for hosting many of the out of town family members.
