Stansbury votes against human rights, sides with bloodthirsty communist Cuban regime

4 Comments / National, New Mexico, News, Politics / By

On Thursday, far-left Rep. Melanie Stansbury (D-NM-01) voted against a bipartisan resolution standing in solidarity with the Cuban people who are fighting for their freedom against their communist dictatorship. 

Human Rights Watch found that the communist Cuban regime “systematically engaged in arbitrary detention, ill-treatment of detainees, and abuse-ridden criminal prosecutions in response to overwhelmingly peaceful anti-government protests in July 2021.”

The House passed the resolution in a 382-40 vote, “with all 40 votes against it coming from Democrats,” according to The Hill.

The resolution said it was focused on “expressing solidarity with Cuban citizens demonstrating peacefully for fundamental freedoms, condemning the Cuban regime’s acts of repression, and calling for the immediate release of arbitrarily detained Cuban citizens.”

But for Stansbury, a far-left extremist, who votes along the same vein as “Squad” members Alexandria Ocasio Cortez (D-NY) and Ilhan Omar (D-MN), the commonsense resolution of solidarity opposing a bloodthirsty communist failed state’s treatment of citizens, was not something she could support.

Stansbury has been known for racist statements toward minorities, specifically Dinè people. She told displaced Navajo energy workers to go “sell your art or your wool” instead of having good-paying energy jobs. 

Stansbury already has one Republican 2022 challenger, Michelle Garcia Holmes, and more candidates may emerge following Stansbury’s extreme votes. During the special election which put Stansbury in Congress, her statements in support of anti-police groups like “Black Lives Matter” were front-and-center.

Far-left legislator compares police to the KKK, calls gun owners ‘thugs’

4 Comments / New Mexico, News, Politics / By

Over the past few days, far-left state Rep. Liz Thomson (D-Bernalillo) has been quite active on Twitter, showing her outrage toward Republicans and police officers, including sharing some very inappropriate content, some of which is incredibly demeaning to fellow citizens.

This week, Democrat legislators voted behind closed doors to ban New Mexicans from exercising their Second Amendment rights in the Roundhouse in Santa Fe, with only very few restrictions. The dark-room deal effectively banned all citizens and legislators from carrying firearms in the building without the express consent of the Speaker of the House, Brian Egolf (D-Santa Fe). 

In celebrating this anti-gun measure, Thomson shared Albuquerque radio producer Katie Stone’s tweet, which called gun owners “thugs.” Stone wrote, “I really appreciate the gun ban at the @NMLegislature. It’s been scary to be in crowded hearing chambers with armed thugs around. I’ve feared for my personal safety in the tense environment of the legislature when these men playing GI Joe show up. Thanks @senatorwirth.”

Thomson shared another post, this time from a Mike Bloomberg-funded “Moms Demand Action” gun-grabbing activist who claimed, “Often our @MomsDemand volunteers were intimidated by gun toting extremists at the NM Roundhouse. I would not take my daughter,” in an apparent attempt at stoking fear upon others. The endorsement of Thomson by sharing the post shows that she, too, believes legal gun owners are “gun-toting extremists.”

On another day, Thomson also shared hate speech against the police, comparing them to the Ku Klux Klan. The tweet Thomson shared came in response to news that New York police officers would be calling out following orders for their forcible inoculation, or else they would lose their jobs. This appears to be the regard Thomson has for law enforcers who work each day to protect communities — she compares them to the KKK.

She also called Republicans “racists” for opposing Critical Race Theory.

Thomson has long been known for her nasty and personal attacks against fellow New Mexicans, demeaning them as “uneducated” for asking questions about the virus jab and claiming in one rant, “Anyone who continues to back the orange traitor (apparently referring to President Donald Trump) after the terrorist attack, is forever branded with a scarlet S for seditionist.” 

She also called concerned parents asking questions about the jab for their kids “low iq voters.” Then, Thomson snitched on fellow citizens to the attorney general regarding pandemic mandates.

Soros-funded group wants to replace NM’s Citizen Legislature with salaried career politicians

4 Comments / New Mexico, News, Politics / By

Despite New Mexico being a small state and not requiring a full-time legislature, a far-left dark money group, Common Cause New Mexico, funded by none other than billionaire George Soros, wants to disassemble the state’s Citizen Legislature and replace it with a full-time, salaried body that will meet all year round. 

Legislators from the Democrat Party and the extreme “moderate” wing of the Republican Party have repeatedly whined about not getting paid, despite them getting daily per diem and a hefty pension once they complete a decade of service to the state. These cries come despite knowing full-well that the Legislature was a body designed for THE PEOPLE and at the time of running for office knowing it was a part-time, unpaid gig.

Socialist Rep. Angelica Rubio (D-Doña Ana) claimed in 2019 while sponsoring a bill to pay legislators a salary, that the current system has people “being left out of the system.”   

Sen. Bill Soules (D-Doña Ana), who has been in the New Mexico Senate since 2013, tweeted a picture of a dollar bill, writing, “#nmleg. ‘Another day another ………’. Oh wait.  That’s right.  The New Mexico Legislature is unpaid.  The only unpaid legislature in the country.” 

Sen. Antoinette Sedillo Lopez (D-Bernalillo), who failed in her attempt to win a special election for the U.S. House in District One, is already complaining about the Legislature not paying members a traditional salary, chiming in on Soules’ conversation, writing, “Being unpaid and part-time makes this branch of government weak.” 

“Moderate” Rep. Alonzo Baldonado (R-Valencia), while defending Rep. Kelly Fajardo’s (R-Valencia) vote in favor of Democrat Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham’s “mini” Green New Deal, wrote, “For all of you out there that think making votes and not getting paid to do it is easy….I say you go do it.” In 2022, many conservative Republicans will do it and some of these Republicans will be surprised that primary challengers who want to work for THE PEOPLE will step up and run.

Despite all the misinformation from ungrateful supposed “public servants,” legislators in New Mexico do get reimbursed through a daily per diem for their work, which is $184 a day and 58 cents a mile. They also get a hefty pension for their service. After ten years, it amounts to $10,824.00. 

But Common Cause New Mexico wants to destroy New Mexico’s system, which has worked for over one hundred years and install career politicians in place, which will not only be another cost to the taxpayers, such as the need for full-time staffers, but it will keep representatives and senators away from the constituencies they represent. 

The dark money organization contends, “Elected officials are limited in their abilities to understand complex issues and cannot serve their constituents effectively. With a lack of trained office staff, legislators are left to rely on the expertise of professional lobbyists, who can then exert undue influence.” But the job of a legislator is to do the work of keeping up with these issues and serving constituents effectively. When they run for office, they should have expertise on these issues. That’s the whole job.  

Now, far-left legislators like Rep. Joy Garratt (D-Bernalillo) are lobbying for this proposal to upend the state’s current framework. Leftists are likely to claim this change must come now in the 2022 Legislative Session due to redistricting. If a resolution destroying the Legislature as it currently stands is passed, it would require the voters to approve it at the ballot box.

It is unclear if this would squeak through during the upcoming 30-day session, although scandal-ridden alleged serial groper Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham has called special sessions for non-pertinent issues such as legalizing recreational marijuana.

Teresa Leger Fernandez added to NRCC’s 2022 target list

Leave a Comment / New Mexico, News, Politics / By

On Wednesday, following sweeping Republican victories nationwide, everywhere from Buffalo, New York, to Virginia, the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) has listed 13 new names on its target list for 2022, including New Mexico’s Third District, represented by first-term Democrat Rep. Teresa Leger Fernandez.

“In a cycle like this, no Democrat is safe,” said NRCC Chairman Tom Emmer (R-Minn.). “Voters are rejecting Democrat policies that have caused massive price increases, opened our borders and spurred a nationwide crime wave.”

Due to redistricting, which may result in Leger Fernandez’s district shifting from solid blue to light blue, with the right candidate, she could be kicked out of office in the midterms, especially with help from the NRCC and national figures.

Also included on the target list are Reps. Greg Stanton, (D-AZ), Ed Perlmutter (D-CO), Joe Courtney (D-CT), Darren Soto (D-FL), Sanford Bishop (D-GA), Frank Mrvan (D-IN), David Trone (D-MD), G.K. Butterfield (D-NC), Annie Kuster (D-NH), Madeleine Dean (D-PA), Jim Cooper (D-TN), and Jennifer Wexton (D-VA).

“Democrats should immediately abandon their $3.5 trillion reckless tax and spending spree. Last night made it crystal clear that the American people are rejecting Democrats’ radical socialist agenda,” said NRCC spokesman Mike Berg

.The red wave in the 2021 elections, including in New Mexico with many GOP pickups, Republicans are likely to score many more victories in New Mexico and nationwide, including in the 3rd Congressional District, which covers northern New Mexico.

The news comes also as Leger Fernandez has been raising cash to help Texas women get abortions in New Mexico. Many New Mexicans are pro-life, especially in the Third District, which has many pro-life Catholic communities.

GOP makes sweeping gains in local NM elections, MLG-endorsed candidates crushed

5 Comments / New Mexico, News, Politics / By

On Tuesday, voters of New Mexico came out to the polls as a referendum on the far-left, taking control of local school board, city council and commission, mayoral, judicial, and other offices, while defeating extreme bond issues.

In Albuquerque, massive gains were made at the current 6-3 Democrat City Council and APS Board, with leftist Michelle Lujan Grisham-endorsed Councilor Lan Sena being defeated by conservative Democrat Louie Sanchez. (not the same Louie Sanchez running as a Republican for governor). Lujan Grisham-endorsed Cynthia Borrego, who currently is the councilor for District 5 was defeated by Dan Lewis, a former city councilor, flipping that seat conservative. Two conservatives are facing runoff elections in Districts 7 and 9, with Lori Robertson and Renee Grout giving citizens an opportunity for a change of power on the City Council.

Conservative Chrystal Tapia-Romero crushed her opponents to become the new school board member for District 5 with 53% of the vote. Conservative Courtney Jackson led her opponents in District 7 with 48% of the vote. Conservative Danielle Marie Gonzales led Planned Parenthood-endorsed Jinx Baskerville 42% to 39%. 

Embattled Democrat Albuquerque Mayor Tim Keller won a sizeable victory, which will not require a runoff election, as his two challengers from the right split up the conservative vote — handing a win to Keller. 

The gross receipts tax bond in Albuquerque for a $50,000,000 taxpayer-funded soccer stadium crashed and burned, with 65% of voters resoundingly rejecting the measure, another win in the city.  

Michelle Lujan Grisham’s endorsed candidate for mayor of Aztec, Victor Snover, was soundly defeated, with Colby King defeating Snover 68% to 21%, and another candidate, Joe Hubbard garnering 11%. 

In Alamogordo, extreme far-left mayoral candidate Nadia Sikes was defeated by conservative Susan Payne by a margin of 64% to Sikes’ 36%. Alamogordo School Board Member Angie Cadwallader won a decisive reelection victory, with 74% of the vote share. 

In deep-blue Santa Fe, conservative Lee Garcia won a shocking victory, ousting incumbent liberal City Councilor Roman Abeyta, taking a commanding 53% lead over the incumbent. 

In Lovington, conservatives won both school board races by a landslide, with conservative Andrea Lynn Gonzales winning 79% of the vote in District 4 and Bradley Bishop winning 81% of the vote in District 5.

These along with other wins across the state are showing a growing conservative momentum on the horizon for the 2022 election, with scandal-ridden alleged serial groper Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham on the ballot and the New Mexico House of Representatives ripe for Republicans to flip. On Wednesday, Lujan Grisham sent out a fundraising ask on her social media, admitting the defeat of many of her candidates. She wrote, “Last night taught us one thing. We can’t take anything for granted and the road to 2022 starts now.”

Nationwide, places like Virginia saw a red wave, with Republican Glenn Youngkin clinching the governorship in the state, with Republican Winsom Sears winning the lieutenant governorship, and Jason Miyares winning the attorney general race. Republicans also took back Virginia’s House of Delegates. In deep-blue New Jersey, Republican Jack Ciattarelli could win the governorship from incumbent Democrat Gov. Phil Murphy, with the race still close to call.

Dems ram through near-total firearm ban at the Roundhouse during closed-door meeting

3 Comments / New Mexico, News, Politics / By

On Monday, the Legislative Council, made up of majority Democrat members of the New Mexico House and the Senate, voted for a near-total ban of guns at the Roundhouse.

According to the Legislative Council’s Raúl Burciaga, the new policy will take effect on December 6, the opening of the special session to approve redistricting maps.

During the meeting, Republicans’ questions went unanswered about the policy while Democrats attempted to ram it through without debate. 

That led Republicans to ask each other questions about the proposed policy and attempt to add amendments to it.

On only one of their amendments regarding “permittees” to have an ability to carry concealed in the Roundhouse, for bipartisan support from Sen. George Muñoz (D-Gallup), although the amendment still died on a vote of 7-6.

“I think your idea of capitol security is valid and we should address it, but we should not address it in this matter,” Rep. James Townsend said. “We should do it with forethought and it should be for capitol security, not for someone to take a shot at the Second Amendment.”

“The New Mexico State Capitol is the people’s building and we should have the right to bear arms and have weapons to protect ourselves,” Rep. Rebecca Dow said. “It’s just another example of the people in power having no understanding of the Constitution, no regard to our process, or any understanding of what the everyday New Mexican does and lives and believes.”

At one point, Speaker Brian Egolf (D-Santa Fe) attempted to claim he supports Second Amendment rights, while Senate Majority Leader Peter Wirth (D-Santa Fe) agreed, although they supported the radical anti-gun measure to strip most guns from law-abiding citizens and legislators. 

Then, Egolf claimed “no rights are absolute,” in a strange tangent. 

The policy will also add metal detectors and other measures to the Capitol’s security plan, in the apparent attempt at quelling First Amendment rights and keeping conservatives from the premises of the Roundhouse, despite New Mexico not having gun issues whatsoever in previous sessions.

After the Legislative Council service rammed the policy through in the closed-door process with absolutely no public comment, anti-police Rep. Liz Thomson (D-Bernalillo), who does not sit on the committee, retweeted a post about police officers retiring in New York, which read, “Something good came out of” the pandemic.

Rep Stefani Lord (R-Tijeras) wrote following the vote, “And just like that…. You just lost your Second Amendment right to carry a firearm in the roundhouse, even with a concealed carry permit.”

Leftist editorial board blasts NM parents’ concerns over CRT as ‘fake outrage’

3 Comments / New Mexico, News, Politics / By

On Monday, the Santa Fe New Mexican editorial board blasted New Mexico parents seeking to have a seat at the table regarding their children’s education, invoking the nail-biter gubernatorial election in Virginia, which has kept parental rights at the forefront.

The editorial board noted how the Republican nominee, Glenn Youngkin, featured a mother in his television ad who did not want her son to be forced to read a graphic book called “Beloved.” But the New Mexican board defended the book, writing, “It is a challenging book that describes the realities of slavery, but nothing beyond what an AP class can handle.” 

According to parents who read the book, it “contains incest, rape, pedophilia, graphic sex, extreme violence, sexual abuse, physical/emotional abuse, infanticide, and an extensive amount of profanity including lots of the F word.” 

But the New Mexican board claims Youngkin’s focus on parents after his Democrat opponent, Terry McAuliffe said parents should not tell schools what to teach, is just the GOP using education as a “wedge issue.” 

“From mobs opposing mask mandates in schools to irate crowds demanding ‘critical race theory’ not be taught, the goal is to make and keep parents angry. There is not a critical race theory curriculum in K-12 education. There is, however, a greater willingness to tackle tough subjects and teach fact instead of myth,” claims the board.

“In New Mexico, where we thankfully have been spared much of this fake outrage, the proposed new social studies standards are being attacked as part of a so-called liberal indoctrination of students. One victim of a concerted campaign against the standards is an in-person hearing,” added the editorial board. 

“Fake outrage” is now apparently what liberals are calling pleas from truly concerned parents, guardians, and community members who want to have a seat at the table regarding their child’s education. 

Regarding New Mexico’s proposed updated standards to the social studies curriculum released by embattled alleged sexual predator Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham’s administration, Critical Race Theory and other extreme anti-American measures are being proposed. A hearing will take place on November 12, but concerned community members are encouraged to reach out to the New Mexico Public Education Department (NMPED). Find out more on the NMPED website.

Lujan Grisham, admin. officials jet off to Scotland while NM suffers through multiple crises

10 Comments / New Mexico, News, Politics / By

On Monday, scandal-ridden alleged serial groper Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham tweeted from Scotland of her participation in the globalist “climate change” summit being held in Glasgow, which is features elites from other countries who no doubt flew there in CO2-consuming jets, just like the embattled Governor.

Lujan Grisham wrote on Twitter, “I’m honored to be at @COP26 this week, the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Glasgow, Scotland, representing New Mexico and the work we’ve done to achieve climate solutions on the world stage.”

“I am so proud of the work we have done in under three years, including nationally leading emissions reductions rules for the oil and gas industry, requiring 100% clean electricity by 2045, implementing new energy-efficient building codes, and so much more.” This is referring to Lujan Grisham’s Green New Deal, also known as the “Energy Transition Act,” which aims to completely wipe out the oil and gas industry by 2045.

Lujan Grisham added, “But I know that we – as a state, as a nation, as a planet – must go further by pursuing bold, equitable and just climate solutions. I am looking forward to this significant opportunity for collaboration and action at the global level.”

The Governor then wrote that she would be having talks with billionaire Mike Bloomberg, a failed Democrat presidential candidate, and Joe Biden’s “climate advisor” Gina McCarthy. 

It is unclear why the Governor must travel thousands of miles on the taxpayers’ dime to wine and dine with other elitists over a supposed “climate crisis,” while many Americans are still forced to communicate with their global colleagues over Zoom meetings in the supposed attempt to “stop the spread” of the Chinese-born virus.

New Mexico Environment Department Sec. James Kenney also joined Lujan Grisham, writing on Twitter that he had “just landed” in Glasgow for the event.

But many New Mexicans were not exactly thrilled with the Governor’s climate excursion, or with the purpose of the event. 

Lujan Grisham’s attendance at the elite event comes as multiple crises are exploding in New Mexico, including a crime epidemic in Albuquerque, one of the highest positive virus testing rates in the nation, one of the highest unemployment rates in the nation, and a pivotal November 2 municipal election right around the corner. The Governor’s extreme pandemic orders still remain in place, including forcibly masking children at school and requiring masks at all times indoors, except when eating or drinking.

She joins other far-left elected leaders at the summit, including her campaign donor, Democrat Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker, who gave $20,800 to her reelection campaign.

It now appears that Lt. Gov. Howie Morales is in charge as Lujan Grisham has fled the country.

Poll that interviewed 536 people says most ABQ voters back authoritarian ‘vaccine’ mandates

8 Comments / New Mexico, News, Politics / By

According to an Albuquerque Journal poll done by pollster Brian Sanderoff, most Albuquerque voters support authoritarian “vaccine” mandates. “Do you support or oppose a mandate that requires employees to be vaccinated for COVID-19 or be tested weekly if not vaccinated?” the poll asked.

“Overall, 63% of voters surveyed said they support COVID-19 vaccine mandates, while 32% expressed opposition. The remaining respondents were unsure or had mixed feelings,” the Journal writes. The “unsure” category was about 1%, while those that answered “it depends” made up 4%. 

“By party affiliation, 85% of registered Democrats said they supported requiring employees to be vaccinated, while just 10% said they were opposed. In contrast, 29% of registered Republican voters said they supported the vaccine requirements and 69% expressed opposition,” the report noted.

In another question, the poll asked on a five-point scale how safe Albuquerque voters felt doing activities. Over 60% responded they felt very safe or safe going to large outdoor events, 61% said they feel very safe or safe dining at indoor restaurants, with 45% saying they felt very safe or safe at indoor entertainment venues, with 21% saying it felt moderate, and 32% saying it felt unsafe or very unsafe.

The poll, which was conducted from October 15 through the 21st “is based on a scientific, citywide sample of 536 likely regular local election voters, including those who voted in the 2017 and/or 2019 local elections, and a small sample of newly registered voters likely to vote in 2021.”

The poll comes out ahead of the Nov. 2 election, where the control of the Albuquerque City Council and mayorship will be in the hands of voters. Incumbent Mayor Tim Keller is a proponent of extreme mask and vaccine mandates, while both of his challengers are not. 

Lujan Grisham admin. to begin jabbing kids with COVID injection as early as next week

7 Comments / New Mexico, News, Politics / By

On Saturday, it was reported that once the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention gives the state the go-ahead, New Mexico will begin jabbing kids 5-11 with the COVID-19 injection, despite it having multiple serious side effects, some leading to death. 

“The state Department of Health expects to have 60,000 doses for kids ready to go out to pharmacies and doctors as soon as the authorization process is complete. Kids would need to wait 21 days after a first dose to receive the second shot,” according to the Santa Fe New Mexican.

“There are still multiple steps involved here,” Department of Health spokesman David Morgan said. “We expect to be able to start vaccinating kids next week sometime. … Once we get the CDC go-ahead, it’s historically a quick turnaround.”

Leftist Santa Fe Public Schools superintendent Hilario “Larry” Chavez said, “I think, first and foremost, this has the potential to save additional lives.” He added, “Not just for the age group of 12 and under but also adults.”

State Public Education Department spokeswoman Judy Robinson called the jab for kids as young as 5 a “game-changer.”

Despite children 5-11 only being 6% of positive COVID-19 cases, only 1% of kids with the virus requiring hospitalization, and a 99.997% survival rate, the state is pushing inoculation of kids. 

There have been more deaths reported in VAERS after COVID-19 vaccination than there have been deaths reported from all other vaccines combined for a period of 15 years, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. 

According to the National Vaccine Information Center, many previously healthy 13-year-olds died after taking the jab due to heart problems. “Two fifteen-year-olds who died after COVID-19 vaccination both died of heart failure (VAERS ID 1187918 and 1242573) [6, 7]. A 16-year-old who died after COVID-19 vaccination (VAERS ID 1225942) had a pulmonary embolism (blot clots in the lungs),” reports Asking Healthy Questions.

As for children 5-11, the negative effects of the COVID-19 inoculation are not yet known.
