‘What are you hiding?’: Toulouse Oliver refuses Trump Campaign’s request for election records

5 Comments / New Mexico, News, Politics / By

On Thursday, New Mexico Secretary of State Maggie Toulouse Oliver refused a request by the Trump Campaign seeking election records, as required by law through an Inspection of Public Records Request (IPRA). 

According to a press release from the New Mexico Republican Party (RPNM), the Secretary of State’s Office said it would respond to the request on or before December 30, 2020. “That hasn’t happened, and now the state has suddenly informed the Trump Team that it will change its response date to January 14, 2021, eight days after Congress meets. The state also told the Trump Team “We deem your request excessively burdensome and broad,” says RPNM.

RPNM Chairman and former Congressman Steve Pearce said, “The Secretary of State’s move is a deliberate effort to keep any evidence of potential election issues from the Trump Campaign until after Congress certifies the Electoral College vote on January 6,” says Republican Party of New Mexico Chairman Steve Pearce. “Again, the Secretary of State is partisan and defiant in refusing to uphold and oversee election integrity. She just makes up her rules. There’s no transparency of government here.”

The press release continues: 

“Again, the Secretary of State will not come clean, and it makes one wonder if there are things she doesn’t want to come out,” says Pearce. “It possibly suggests there might have been anomalies or questionable practices that might have occurred in New Mexico’s presidential election.”

The Trump Campaign wants to look at election records to see if there was something rotten in the state of New Mexico, but the state’s top election officer appears to be hiding it.   

It is not an unreasonable question for many to ask the Secretary of State what she may be hiding by delaying and denying the Trump Campaign’s requests for information if there is nothing to hide. Secretary of State Toulouse Oliver has been hostile toward pro-Trump organizations in the past and had a town hall with vice presidential candidate Kamala Harris.

Rep.-elect Yvette Herrell to vote against Biden’s alleged fraudulent victory—NM Dems triggered

5 Comments / New Mexico, News, Politics / By

On Wednesday, Fox News, an increasingly irrelevant cable news station, reported that Congresswoman-Elect Yvette Herrell from New Mexico’s Second Congressional District will join other conservative Republican representatives, led by Congressman Mo Brooks (R-AL), in voting not to certify Joe Biden’s alleged fraudulent “victory” in the presidential race. 

According to Fox News: 

GOP Reps.-elect Lauren Boebert of Colorado, Madison Cawthorn of North Carolina, Burgess Owens of Utah, Yvette Herrell of New Mexico, Dr. Ronny Jackson of Texas, Bob Good of Virginia, Jerry Carl of Alabama and Andrew Clyde of Georgia will be supporting Brooks’ effort, for a total of at least 10 incoming reps, Fox News has confirmed. This does not include current members who have said they will also object, like Rep. Jody Hice, R-Ga.

Shortly after the news hit, the New Mexico Democrat Party, which suffered a crippling defeat with Herrell’s victory, claimed that Herrell was putting her “personal politics before the voters’ decision” in a statement to the Santa Fe New Mexican. 

“It is grossly irresponsible for an incoming congresswoman to be spreading dangerous misinformation about the recent election. It undermines the legitimate democratic process,” Democratic Party Chairwoman Marg Elliston said in a statement. “Southern New Mexicans deserve a congresswoman who will focus on meeting their needs, instead of putting her beliefs ahead of theirs.”

However, President Donald J. Trump won the Second District in 2016 and again in 2020 by comfortable margins, and the credible allegations of widespread fraud in the election show that the will of the American people did make their choice known–meaning Joe Biden and Kamala Harris were not legitimately elected to the White House, according to credible evidence. 

The Piñon Post has compiled an arsenal of information on election fraud from years’ past and during this election cycle in New Mexico, where it has been uncovered that Democrats admitted to ballot harvesting and other sketchy vote collecting practices. In 2018, Yvette Herrell “lost” to Democrat Xochitl Torres Small by the thinnest of margins, and a subsequent audit found signs of widespread fraud. 

Congress votes on January 6th for the certification of the presidential election, and many Republicans in both the U.S. House and U.S. Senate plan to object to alleged illegitimately elected Joe Biden.

Legacy and Calvary churches must resist Gov. Lujan Grisham’s tyranny

18 Comments / New Mexico, News, Opinion, Politics / By

Over the weekend and on Monday, liberal media outlets like the Albuquerque Journal, KRQE News 13, and KOAT 7 News all blasted Calvary and Legacy churches in Albuquerque for holding Christmas Eve services to honor the birth of Jesus Christ, allegedly in non-compliance with Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham’s strict 25% capacity limit on churches.

Despite the large churches minding their own business in the practice of worship, that was not good enough for the liberal mainstream media and Gov. Lujan Grisham, who could not stand the thought of free Americans using their First Amendment rights to proclaim the birth of Christ. So, after the press amplified politically motivated liberal voices who claimed the churches were putting health at risk, the Governor’s Health Department slapped the churches with hefty $5,000 fines. 

The Department said that in addition to the $5,000 fine, “other remedies against the same conduct” would be taken “as allowed by state statute.”

The Governor’s pompous communications director Tripp Stelicki–who condescended New Mexicans repeatedly–gave a statement to the Albuquerque Journal, mercilessly bashing Legacy and Calvary churches for their “illegal and selfish gatherings,” saying they “will directly contribute to more suffering and illness in our state.”

Here’s what the Journal reported:

Tripp Stelnicki, a spokesman for Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham, said the parishioners and leaders of the two churches violated both the state’s public health order “and common sense.”

“They endangered the lives livelihoods and health of not only their parishioners but their entire communities — and given how quickly this virus can spread, potentially our state as a whole.”

Stelnicki went on to say that while all New Mexicans wish that the pandemic was over, it clearly is not and no pastor “may deem it so.”

“These church leaders should reflect on the danger they’ve unleashed in their communities,” he said.

The First Amendment comes first for a reason, and the U.S. Supreme Court has repeatedly ruled in favor of religious institutions and against tyrannical edicts given from on-high by power-hungry tyrants like Lujan Grisham. “Even in a pandemic, the Constitution cannot be put away and forgotten,” wrote the Court’s conservative majority in one case’s opinion.

Those words must ring true to Calvary and Legacy churches’ leadership now more than ever. Standing up for what is right may not always be easy, but both churches may be surprised at how many patriots from across our great state are willing to stand with them as they go into battle for New Mexicans’ rights. 

Legacy Church released a strong statement following criticism, saying, “We have taken the pandemic seriously from the start, and have prudent measures in place. But when governments exceed their constitutional authority and contradict what we are called on by God to do, we answer first to His authority.”

According to Calvary’s chief Pastoral Officer, Neil Oritz, he said that the church “experienced a significant attendance on one of the most celebrated and sacred days of our Christian faith.” In response to the large turnout, the church “chose not to break fellowship with any worshiper by requiring them to leave the gathering of their church family.”

“We do care about people’s physical health, and we take great precautions,” he said. “… At the same time, we believe that people can be responsible adults and make their own choices about their life and health and that of their families.”

If these churches choose not to buckle to Gov. Lujan Grisham’s tyranny, I and many readers of the Piñon Post would be the first people to donate to their legal funds in the fight for our Constitutional freedoms.

Take heed in the words of Martin Luther King, Jr. in the fight ahead: 

“One may well ask: ‘How can you advocate breaking some laws and obeying others?’ The answer lies in the fact that there are two types of laws: just and unjust. I would be the first to advocate obeying just laws. One has not only a legal but a moral responsibility to obey just laws. Conversely, one has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws. I would agree with St. Augustine that ‘an unjust law is no law at all.’”

I urge as many New Mexicans as possible to email Calvary Church with words of encouragement by visiting their online form linked here. Legacy Church can be reached via email at this address: info@legacychurchnm.com. Please leave your name and phone number when contacting these churches so they may reach you better.

Liberal media outlets blast ABQ churches for holding Christmas services

9 Comments / New Mexico, News, Politics / By

Over the weekend, liberal media outlet KREQ News 13 blasted Calvary and Legacy churches in Albuquerque for holding Christmas Eve services, claiming attendees wearing “few face masks and little, to no, social distancing.” Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham is currently only allowing 25% capacity at churches in New Mexico, which the outlet alleges was broken by the two churches.

KRQE News showed footage from the church services, writing, “Because Bernalillo County is still in the red zone, that means places of worship are only allowed to hold services at 25-percent of their maximum capacity. While it appears both churches far exceeded that limit, it’s unclear just how many people attended.” 

It should be noted that the entire state is in the supposed “red zone,” as marked by Gov. Lujan Grisham’s restrictive “red to green” program. 

KRQE gave a platform to an individual allegedly named Cassius Money who was not identified with any particular group or affiliation, who said, “To see so many people in one room, disregarding any health measure any precautions, it felt disrespectful to my community.”

Legacy Church replied to KRQE News 13 with the following statement: 

“We have taken the pandemic seriously from the start, and have prudent measures in place. But when governments exceed their constitutional authority and contradict what we are called on by God to do, we answer first to His authority.”

On Monday, KOAT 7 News and the Albuquerque Journal picked up on the story, emphasizing how the churches may be subjected to $5,000 fines for disobeying the Governor’s orders.

Legacy Church previously lost a federal lawsuit petitioning for a higher occupancy rate than 25%, however, a George W. Bush-appointed judge denied it. Other churches from across the state have been fighting for their First Amendment rights, including Truth or Consequences’ New Hope Revival Church, where over Easter, Gov. Lujan Grisham sent State Police to serve a cease and desist order to the pastor, Dr. Caleb Cooper. The move came after Sierra County Sheriff Glenn Hamilton deputized the church. Piñon Post exclusively reported on the incident, while the liberal mainstream media did not.

On her way to the unemployment line, Torres Small takes futile jab at President Trump

1 Comment / New Mexico, News, Politics / By

While President Donald Trump fights for $2,000 checks for struggling Americans and cuts to the pork-filled Democrat COVID-19 “relief” bill passed through the Congress, one-term Rep. Xochitl Torres Small is taking her last jabs at the President on her way to the unemployment line.

Torres Small, a consistent opponent of President Trump, said that she would stand with other obstructionist Congress members in opposing the President’s veto of the $600 stimulus checks and billions in foreign aid in the bill meant to serve as COVID-19 relief. The bill also included $25 million for democracy and “gender studies” programs in Pakistan, funding to the Kennedy Center, and other non-COVID items.

She tweeted, “I will continue to stand up for our service members and vote to override this veto.”

“This bill — passed by both the House & Senate — is a result of bipartisan, months-long negotiations & will support our troops by authorizing a well-deserved pay raise. It’s critical the President puts our nat’l security & service members 1st by signing the NDAA into law,” she added.

Torres Small votes with Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) 94% of the time, and she has bashed President Trump as a “racist,” while taking campaign cash from socialist Rep. Ilhan Omar and dark money fringe-groups. 

The people of New Mexico’s Second Congressional District, despite alleged massive fraud across the state, sent Torres Small packing after her radical agenda was uncovered by the Piñon Post and her opponent, incoming Rep.-elect Yvette Herrell of Alamogordo. 

Herrell will take office in January, while Torres Small takes bitter jabs at the 45th president on her way out the door.

WATCH: Hilarious Christmas music video calls out ‘Governor Grish’

7 Comments / New Mexico, News, Politics / By

This Christmas, one music video is spreading like wildfire across social media featuring New Mexico singer Ash Soular and “Governor Grish.” The video uses Gov. Lujan Grisham’s own words to show how she’s being a “tyrant.” 

The video starts out with audio clips of Lujan Grisham talking about how New Mexicans couldn’t celebrate holidays throughout the year. “We didn’t celebrate the 4th of July,” “We didn’t celebrate Labor Day,” “We didn’t go out with our families,” “and just enjoy Halloween,” “We didn’t see our families on Thanksgiving,” “Zoom Hanukkah,” “So Christmas… Don’t go in person!”

Then the Governor says, “And TOO much shopping is not good,” “And you can’t wear a mask and eat a biscochito!” “Zoom Christmas can be fun,” Lujan Grisham adds.  

The hilarious video calling out Gov. Lujan Grisham nails her for putting people out of business, making people stand in-line for food, and her shopping trip to a “non-essential” business to buy expensive jewelry while New Mexicans were never afforded such a luxury. 

The video ends with the uplifting message that “We’re taking back our rights,” telling Lujan Grisham, “Enjoy your only term!” 

Check out the music video below:

Gov. MLG says Santa Claus and his reindeer are ‘immune to COVID-19’

4 Comments / New Mexico, News, Politics / By

On Christmas Eve, Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham released an executive order proclaiming Santa Claus and his reindeer as “essential workers” who are “immune from COVID-19.” 

The jovial order apparently meant to quell tensions among angsty families scared of the virus, proclaims that “boys and girls all across New Mexico have been very good this year, making very adult sacrifices in their day-to-day lives, like attending classes online, keeping physical distance from others, including friends, and always wearing a mask when they go out with their parents and guardians.” 

The order also proclaims that “health experts have determined Santa Claus and his reindeer are immune from and cannot spread illnesses of any type as he visits homes throughout New Mexico, the United States and the world.” The Governor did not mention Christmas elves’ immunity to the virus, however.

Also included in the order is a note that, “health experts have determined the North Pole has not had any cases of COVID-19, meaning Santa Claus can travel without risk to his health or the health of anyone whose home he visits.

Lujan Grisham declared Claus as “exempt” from “the State of New Mexico’s social distancing and travel requirements.” 

The move from the Governor comes after Dr. Anthony Fauci of the National Institutes of Health declared Santa as “good to go,” claiming he had vaccinated St. Nick.

NMSU study: cloth face masks alone are not enough to stop COVID-19

5 Comments / New Mexico, News / By

Researchers at New Mexico State University in Las Cruces published their research in the scientific journal, “Physics of Fluids” finding that cloth face masks are not enough to stop the spread of COVID-19. It should be noted, however, that according to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), COVID-positive patients who get coronavirus have a greater than 99.5% survival rate up to the age of 70, and that number dips to 94.6% for patients over the age of 70. 

The researchers studied five types of face coverings, which included N-95 masks, surgical masks, cloth masks, and cloth masks wetted with water. According to the study, “Droplet flow visualization experiments of a simulated face-to-face interaction with a mask in place were conducted using the particle image velocimetry setup.” 

The study is the first of its kind to “quantitatively verify” if wearing a mask while having closer than six-feet interactions with others is safe. 

According to one source, “Studies have shown that the average infection threshold for COVID-19 is 1,000 virus particles, inhaled either all at once or on separate occasions,” while a single sneeze has the ability to carry up to two million virus particles. 

Therefore, “the cloth mask let through more than 1,000 sneeze droplets, each of which could have millions of virus particles.” 

Findings from the study concluded that while all masks blocked approximately 95% of droplets originating from coughs and sneezes, a risk still remained of the virus being passed on. However, “[if] the relevant social distancing guidelines are compromised,” then “foreign airborne sneeze and cough droplets could pass through all the masks tested.” 

“When the leakage percentages of these airborne droplets were expressed in terms of the number of virus particles, it was found that masks would not offer complete protection to a susceptible person from a viral infection in close (e.g., <6 ft) face-to-face or frontal human interactions,” says the study. 

The researchers give multiple suggestions for avoiding the spread of the mostly non-deadly virus, including “wearing multiple layers of masks could offer increased protection,” using wet or N-95 masks, “or turning the face away from the sneeze or cough.”

‘March for Trump’ bus passes through New Mexico

1 Comment / New Mexico, News, Politics / By

On Tuesday, Amy Kremer, Chair of Women for America First, posted a video of her organization’s bus stopping through New Mexico.

The group’s “March for Trump” bus looks to have stopped through the state on the way to its first stop in Nevada, according to Kremer’s post and the roadmap posted on TrumpMarch.com. The bus looks to have passed through I-40, meaning it passed through Albuquerque toward Gallup and Grants.

Women for America First organized the massive “Stop the Steal” and “Million MAGA March” rallies in Washington, D.C. and across the country against Democrat voter fraud. At the last rally, President Trump flew over the crowd in Marine One to greet the countless attendees. The bus tour is funded by Mike Lindell, founder of MyPillow, along with Right Side Broadcasting and other partners.

“Good morning #NewMexico! The #MarchForTrump is headed to #Nevada today. If you see us, give us a big 👍,” wrote Kremer in her Twitter post.

If Piñon Post readers see the bus on its way to Nevada, please send them to us so we can update our story!
