NM Supreme Court pauses citizen grand juries against MLG’s malfeasance

10 Comments / New Mexico, News, Politics / By

According to reports, the New Mexico Supreme Court has approved scandal-ridden alleged serial groper Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham’s request for a temporary stay of at least three attempts to convene citizen-led grand juries to investigate the Governor’s botched handling of the pandemic.

The petitions filed in Eddy, Lea, and Chaves counties against Lujan Grisham and her tyrannical rule specifically target the Governor’s extreme jab coercion and mask mandates, among other measures that have led to economic destruction. 

New Mexico is one of the few states that allows citizens to petition for a grand jury with a certain threshold of the voting public. This is traditionally a tool used by prosecutors to go after criminal wrongdoing — in this case, the Lujan Grisham regime’s abuses of power during the pandemic.

“You would think at some point in time the people could be heard,” Sen. David Gallegos (R-Eunice) said. Gallegos is one of the signers on the petitions and has been advocating for them against Lujan Grisham for her “malfeasance” in office regarding the pandemic.

“Though controversial to some, the governor’s pandemic measures have been consistently upheld by the courts – including this court,” claimed Holly Agajanian, the Governor’s general counsel.

“I’d like to know why they didn’t let the process work,” Gallegos said, referring to the court.

A response letter submitted by Larry Marker, one of the filers on the petition, wrote in response, “​​The failure of the Governor and the Department of Health to adhere to the mandatory procedures for quarantine when issuing lockdown orders and limiting access to certain facilities is by law nothing short of false imprisonment and possibly abduction.”

Another passage of the response letter reads, “30-Counsel for Petitioner has failed to show the Governor or her administration would suffer irreparable harm or any specifics to [the] type of injury suffered by her with the Court acting on a constitutionally authorized mandatory action of convening a Grand Jury inquiry initiated by the Citizens.”

“The Citizens Grand Jury has been established as the Citizens checks and balances to [ensure] one branch of the Government does not have absolute authority. Petitioner has exercised her constitutionally authorized authority in a manner that has centralized absolute power with her and within the executive branch of the NM government. Through political acquiescence, lack of oversight, impasse or cowardice of the Judiciary and Legislature the instant controversy has evaded traditional means of remedy or correction.” 

Other motions filed by Lujan Grisham’s administration have attempted to suppress evidence produced by the grand juries, which is characterized by Marker as a“sneaky lawyer trick.”

According to the Journal, “In its Tuesday order preventing the citizen grand jury petitions from moving forward, the Supreme Court ordered that the grand jury proponents file responses in the case by Dec. 6.”

Fernandez, Stansbury vote for Biden’s extremist $1.9 trillion spending bill

1 Comment / New Mexico, News, Politics / By

Like clockwork, on Friday, the far-left Democrats in New Mexico’s U.S. House delegation, Reps. Teresa Leger de Fernandez (D-NM-03) and Melanie Stansbury (D-NM-01) voted with the radical Democrats for Joe Biden’s extremist spending bill, erroneously dubbed the “Build Back Better Act.”

The far-left bill, which is estimated to cost around $1.9 trillion, included $500 billion for so-called “climate change” initiatives, which are largely spent through “clean energy tax credits” to heavily subsidize failing “alternative” energy sources like wind and solar.

The bill also includes “[u]niversal preschool for all 3- and 4-year olds” and “4 weeks of federal paid parental, sick or caregiver leave,” according to CNBC among other fringe spending proposals that will cost future Americans trillions in debt.

Following the bill’s passage, far-left Sen. Ben Ray Luján, who voted for the Senate version of the bill, claimed, “With the support of Americans across this country, this historic legislation will make a difference in the lives of every community across America.” 

Rep. Yvette Herrell (R-NM-02), who did not vote for Biden’s boondoggle, wrote, “Build Back Broke will go down in history as more disastrous than ‘Too Big to Fail’ bailouts, Obamacare, and the 2016 Ghostbusters movie combined.”

Stansbury claimed on Twitter, “It’s hard to overstate how historic the BBB is for New Mexico. It will help address the climate crisis & touch every aspect of our lives from childcare to elder care, cut taxes for families, and reduce the costs of childcare, home care, education, healthcare, Rx drugs, & housing.” 

The fringe spending package, which heavily targets leftist industries, may backfire on the Democrats if it reaches final passage, just adding another feather in Republicans’ caps come election time. Democrats have already suffered electoral losses at the ballot box in 2021 and those losses are predicted to extend to 2022 and beyond.

MLG claims ‘fully vaccinated’ means ‘three vaccines’

13 Comments / New Mexico, News, Politics / By

Scandal-ridden alleged serial groper Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham is now moving the goalposts yet again, this time fear-mongering New Mexicans not only into getting the COVID-19 vaccine but claiming those who don’t have a third “booster” are not “fully vaccinated.”

Lujan Grisham said on Wednesday, “We are analyzing what we can do to create those incentives – and potentially mandates – for making sure that people are fully vaccinated, which means three vaccines.”

According to Just The News, “Grisham has blamed the unvaccinated for the ongoing pandemic but recently acknowledged that vaccinated people can also contract and spread the virus and that those who become infected have only mild symptoms that don’t require hospitalization.”

Throughout the pandemic, Lujan Grisham has belittled and mocked New Mexicans for not following her strict COVID-19 practices, despite her harmful lockdowns resulting in the 5th-highest virus infection rate in the nation. Her lockdowns have also killed at least 40% of New Mexico’s small businesses.

Despite these crises in New Mexico, Lujan Grisham spent an unknown fortune in taxpayer dollars to fly to Glasgow, Scotland for a “climate change” conspiracy theory summit and to Washington, D.C. to watch Joe Biden sign a $1.2 trillion “infrastructure” bill that only included a mere 15% of items going to infrastructure. 

Throughout the pandemic, Lujan Grisham has broken her lockdown orders to buy lavish jewelry and she spent thousands in taxpayer dollars on $200/lb Wagyu beef steaks, fine wine, and liquor. This all came as New Mexicans were forced to stand in bread lines during the holidays due to her strict 75-person capacity limit in grocery stores.

Students, staff holding Thursday protest against NMSU’s jab mandate

Leave a Comment / Action Alert, New Mexico, News / By

On Thursday, the New Mexico Freedoms Alliance (NMFA) is holding a protest to New Mexico State University’s (NMSU) jab mandate on-campus, which is forces all students and staff to get the jab by December 8. The Thursday protest comes after NMSU Students and Staff Against the Mandate has written an Open Letter to the NMSU Administration that asks the University to reconsider the enforcement of the mandate.

“The Administration of NMSU is actively disrupting the educational process by means of threats and intimidation to staff, faculty, and students with the enforcement of this health mandate. Furthermore, NMSU Administration is using intimidation and discrimination to coerce employees and students to accept an experimental treatment which has not undergone long-term safety testing and for which the clinical trials are ongoing until 2023.”

“If we are going to be forced to choose between an experimental vaccine and our jobs and/or education, we demand that our concerns be heard.

“NMSU has an ethical obligation to acknowledge the fact that:

  1. Use of these vaccines does not stop people from contracting the COVID-19 Virus.
  2. Use of these vaccines does not prevent the fully vaccinated from spreading the COVID-19 Virus.
  3. Many in our NMSU community who oppose this mandate have experienced previous COVID-19 infection, and now carry robust natural immunity which provides the same, if not more powerful, protection against COVID-19 than a vaccination would.
  4. The use of these emergency vaccinations has led to a great number of adverse reactions. Where there is a risk, there must be a choice.
    “Is NMSU prepared to take full financial responsibility for any adverse reactions experienced by staff, faculty, and students that may potentially come from the enforcement of this mandate?

“In addition, we want it to be clear that while many of us have made an informed choice not to receive the vaccine, there are also many among our ranks who have individually chosen to receive the vaccine but firmly stand against this mandate. A health directive or mandate is not law, and should not be treated as such. We, the vaxxed and unvaxxed, are in agreement that the enforcement of this mandate is unlawful and violates our civil liberties.

“In closing, we come together from all fields and positions within the NMSU family asking you to reconsider your enforcement of this mandate in favor of personal freedom and bodily autonomy. At the very least, we are asking for reasonable accommodations that do not further strip us of our freedoms and dignity. Please don’t make us choose between an education or a job we love and our personal health and bodily autonomy.”

Details about the Thursday protest:

What: Demonstration Against NMSU Vaccine Mandate
When: Thursday November 18th from 11am-1pm
Where: Sun Dial on the NMSU Horseshoe, Main Campus

NM Supreme Court sides with legislators, dealing a crippling blow to MLG

5 Comments / New Mexico, News, Politics / By

According to multiple reports from the New Mexico Supreme Court, the Court has ruled against scandal-ridden alleged serial groper Michelle Lujan Grisham and in favor of two legislators who sued the Governor over her unilateral use of federal funds during the pandemic.

Lujan Grisham spent $1.7 billion in federal funds without legislative approval, which sparked the lawsuit from Sens. Greg Baca (R-Valencia) and Jacob Candelaria (D-Bernalillo).

According to the Albuquerque Journal, “The ruling, which was announced after the state’s highest court heard arguments from attorneys and deliberated for roughly one hour, clears the way for the Legislature to appropriate nearly $1.1 billion in allocated money received under the American Relief Plan Act in the coming months— though the governor would still have the ability to fully or partially veto any legislative spending plan.”

Even Lujan Grisham-appointed justices, such as Justice David Thomson, agreed with the two senators over the Governor, saying it is clear in the Constitution what role the legislature has regarding appropriation of funds. “I learned that in second grade — they control the purse strings,” Thomson said.

“I’m excited to see the court side with the people and the Constitution,” Baca told reporters following the ruling.

In a statement, Baca wrote, “In one of the most significant rulings in decades, the New Mexico Supreme Court today preserved the appropriating authority of the legislature and affirmed the separation and balance of powers enshrined in our Constitution. As legislators, we are the representative body of government and we are accountable to our constituents for the spending of their tax dollars. The Governor’s attempts to assume unilateral control of our state by bucking the authority of her office and the state constitution are an egregious power grab, and we are thankful that the high court has ruled in favor of the people.”

Wednesday legislative committee discussing MLG’s racist CRT social studies updates

4 Comments / Action Alert, New Mexico, News, Politics / By

On Friday, scandal-ridden alleged serial groper Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham’s New Mexico Public Education Department (NMPED) heard hours of testimony from the public regarding the administration’s proposed updates to the social studies curriculum, which included the integration of the racist Critical Race Theory (CRT), among other radical changes.

On Wednesday, the Legislative Education Study Committee will meet in the New Mexico state Senate chamber to discuss these updates, with NMPED’s Deputy Secretary of Teaching, Learning, and Assessment Gwen Perea Warniment joining the panel. Along with Warniment, the Department’s Director of Curriculum and Instruction, Jacqueline Costales, will be in attendance.

The meeting on Wednesday will begin at 9:00 a.m., with the social studies updates being discussed third on the agenda, at approximately 10:30 a.m. 

The meeting details are below:

You can watch the discussion online on the www.nmlegis.gov website under WEBCAST

Direct link https://sg001-harmony.sliq.net/00293/harmony

For more info – https://www.nmlegis.gov/Agendas/ALESCageNov17.21.pdf

Learn more about the new proposals in the social studies curriculum here. According to an analysis of the comments submitted to NMPED regarding the social studies updates, there were 473 negative comments, 322 positive comments, 44 comments with no clear position, 185 comments asking for more financial training, and 17 comments from school districts asking for an extension of comments until July 1, 2022.

Some of the proposed standards, as previously reported include: 

Students are to “[a]ssess how social policies and economic forces offer privilege or systemic inequity in accessing social, political, and economic opportunity for identity groups in education, government, healthcare, industry, and law enforcement,” writes one of the proposed rules, a key tenet of the racist Critical Race Theory. The rules ask students to assess this and to “Identify and analyze cultural, differently abled, ethnic, gender, national, political, racial, and religious identities and related perceptions and behaviors by society of these identities.” 

CRT is blatant in the rules, especially where the students are to learn how America is supposedly racist in its very framework. Students are to “[d]escribe how inequity in the United States laid the foundation for conflict that continues today.” 

The standards include alarming new benchmarks, specifically targeting Spanish settlers in the United States, writing regarding historical thinking that students should “Compare the patterns of exploration, destruction and occupation of the Americas by Spaniards.”

The proposed draft notes that it wants to “Demonstrate how diversity includes the impact of unequal power relations on the development of group identities and cultures” Regarding the territorial period of New Mexico, the rules aim to “Determine the role of race and racism in the acts of land redistribution during the territorial period.”

Lujan Grisham regime responds to CO gov’s comments on NM mask mandate

19 Comments / New Mexico, News, Politics / By

Democrat Colorado Gov. Jared Polis recently threw shade at scandal-ridden alleged serial groper Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham for her strict mask mandate in the state, which shows it is not helping, especially with New Mexico having the fifth-highest infection rate in the nation despite the edict.

According to the Albuquerque Journal, “A Lujan Grisham spokeswoman said Polis’ comments were ‘disappointing,’ citing studies showing that wearing a mask, especially a surgical mask, reduces the spread of [the virus].”

Paid advertisement.

Department of Health spokesman Matt Bieber claimed, “The science is unequivocal: when high-quality masks are worn correctly, they are incredibly effective at reducing the spread,” claiming, “Without a mask mandate, New Mexico would have more cases.”

However, many are not buying the Lujan Grisham regime’s excuses.

Republican Party of New Mexico Chairman Steve Pearce said that the Lujan Grisham regime lacks “real science to support” the mandate. He said that virus infection numbers “keep climbing, even with Lujan Grisham’s forced mask mandates.”

While New Mexico remains a top infected state, Lujan Grisham has been galavanting across the globe, traveling to Scotland for a “climate change” conspiracy theory conference on the taxpayers’ dime and then traveling to Washington, D.C. to participate in Joe Biden’s bill signing of the far-left $1.2 trillion non-infrastructure bill.

During her trip to D.C., the governor has been spotted in a massive 3M mask covering most of her face, including while on live television interviews. Kendall Witmer, Lujan Grisham’s campaign spokeswoman claimed the embattled governor masking herself “underscored her respect of New Mexico’s health care workers and families by wearing a mask while in D.C.”

MLG jets off to D.C. while NM has 5th-highest virus infection rate

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

While New Mexico has the fifth-highest virus infection rate in the nation despite her strict lockdowns, scandal-ridden alleged serial groper Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham jetted off to Washington, D.C. on Sunday to attend Joe Biden’s signing of the $1.2 trillion “infrastructure” boondoggle, which is only 15% or less infrastructure-focused.

Lujan Grisham’s D.C. trip comes just a week after the embattled Governor returned from Scotland where she and leftist world leaders wined and dined while discussing the “climate change” conspiracy theory. 

Lujan Grisham, as well as multiple staffers and cabinet members, attended the far-left Scotland excursion, likely pinning a bill of tens of thousands of dollars on New Mexico Citizens.

Now, Lujan Grisham’s trip to the Nation’s Capitol comes as New Mexico was roasted by Colorado Gov. Jared Polis for having a high infection rate despite a strict mask mandate. Despite multiple crises brewing in New Mexico, Lujan Grisham’s priorities are in Washington, where she served in Congress from 2013 to 2019.

Joe Biden’s far-left infrastructure bill included many freebies, including Sen. Ben Ray Luján’s first apparent legislation signed into law in his nearly 13 years in Congress. The bill included his left-wing eco-Marxist proposals to harm the oil and gas industry. 

All members of the New Mexico delegation voted for Joe Biden’s far-left infrastructure bill except for Congresswoman Yvette Herrell (R-NM-02), who claimed the bill was full of policy “unicorns,” meaning pork. 

Despite New Mexico being ranked as the state most heavily reliant on the federal government, the state remains low in child well-being, education, opportunity, and just about every other factor regarding quality of life.

MLG claims GOP ‘attacking our personal freedoms’ in desperate fundraising ploy

4 Comments / New Mexico, News, Politics / By

Ahead of December special session for redistricting, which is rumored to begin on December 6, scandal-ridden alleged serial groper Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham is frantically sending out fundraising pleas to supporters asking for donations. During a special session of the Legislature, Lujan Grisham would be barred from fundraising, per state law.

So, the Lujan Grisham campaign has begun the desperate fundraising asks. Since Monday, November 8, the embattled governor has sent out nine fundraising emails, averaging at least one per day. The emails read anything from “December is coming” to generic “stop the GOP” messaging.

In one email, Lujan Grisham’s team writes, “Starting in early December, we won’t be able to fundraise AT ALL for three whole months because the New Mexico State Legislature is meeting for a special session.”

“If we fail to reach our $150,000 goal, New Mexico could flip red, just like Virginia did this month,” the campaign writes.

In one hilarious ask, the Lujan Grisham campaign wrote, “If the GOP flips New Mexico – just like they flipped Virginia this month – they could weaken our democracy and attack our personal freedoms. So, we need your immediate support to keep New Mexico blue.”

It is unclear what the campaign is referring to with “weakening our democracy” or “attacking our personal freedoms,” but the harsh mask and jab mandates the militant regime have instituted prove ironic for a campaign trying to claim it is a bastion of supposed “personal freedoms.”

In another fundraising ask sent by Lujan Grisham’s finance director called“Brandon,” he claims “voting rights to reproductive freedom is on the line.”

The desperate fundraising ploys appear just to be getting more desperate as December approaches. Still, there is no lack of irony in Lujan Grisham’s campaign emails, as her administration has mandated many anti-freedom edicts that are harming New Mexicans and permanently closed 40% of small businesses in the state.

Dem Colorado governor throws shade at MLG over mask mandate

4 Comments / New Mexico, News, Politics / By

According to CBS4 Denver, Democrat Colorado Gov. Jared Polis threw shade at New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham over her strict indoor mask mandate. The news outlet reported that Polis “does not plan on bringing back a mask mandate throughout the state, even as virus cases surge. 

Polis “said he would leave masking orders to the counties, citing that neighboring New Mexico has a mask mandate and cases were comparable to those seen in Colorado,”

“Scientists simply don’t know why our region has a spike,” Polis said.

“We are going to add five more monoclonal antibody treatment busses by mid-December. Those will be available in both urban and rural areas,” Polis said.

Lujan Grisham, on the other hand, has implemented a harsh lockdown of the state, which has not seen any success whatsoever. Despite the harsh edicts from Lujan Grisham, New Mexico is ranked fifth in the nation for new virus cases.

However, Lujan Grisham administration officials continue to blame the rise in cases on people not getting the jab, with the Santa Fe New Mexican reporting, “State Health Department officials warned during a briefing Wednesday cases in New Mexico would continue to rise as the state’s [inoculation] rate plateaus.”

Lujan Grisham and Polis served in Congress together, both being first elected governor of their respective states in 2018.
