MLG digs up old campaign ad to promote abortion up-to-birth

7 Comments / New Mexico, News, Politics / By

On Tuesday, scandal-ridden alleged serial groper Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham dug up an old 2021 campaign ad for her run for Congress where she touted her support for radical pro-abortion policies.

The embattled governor, who is under investigation for ethics violations and recently paid off a staffer $150,000 for claims she grabbed his crotch, wrote, “I’ve spent my career being an advocate for women and their right to choose.”

“In 2012, I released this ad talking about the need to stand up for women’s rights. This message is even more important than ever,” in apparent response to the Supreme Court’s leaked decision in the Dobbs case which overturned the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision legalizing abortion-on-demand in the United States. 

Lujan Grisham ironically claims she is protecting “women’s rights” despite half of abortions killing baby girls, while mothers have been maimed and killed because of abortions — the opposite of women’s rights.

In true form, Lujan Grisham proceeded to ask for money from donors to help her continue killing babies in the womb, writing, “I will never stop fighting to protect women’s rights in New Mexico. Join us in the fight and pitch in $25 right now.”

In 2021, Lujan Grisham signed into law S.B. 10, which legalized abortion up-to-birth and infanticide in New Mexico. That means that when Roe v. Wade is officially overturned, New Mexico will continue being the Wild West of extreme late-term abortion.

Vulnerable Dems Leger Fernandez, Stansbury double down on abortion support

3 Comments / New Mexico, News, Politics / By

Late Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court’s draft opinion on the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization case was leaked to the press, which showed the Court was poised to overturn 1973’s Roe v. Wade decision, which legalized abortion-on-demand in the United States. Roe’s defeat would mean individual states would get the ability to ban or legalize abortion as they see fit. 

While pro-lifers cheered on the potential decision, which was later confirmed to be authentic by Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts, Democrats doubled down on their support for radical abortion up-to-birth and infanticide policies. Those Democrats included vulnerable U.S. Rep. Teresa Leger Fernandez.

The first-term congresswoman wrote on Facebook Monday, “In New Mexico, we believe that the personal decision to add to a family belongs with New Mexican familias, their faith, and their physician – and that politics and government interference have no place. Now more than ever, in the face of this anticipated and devastating draft decision, NM will stand with women and families.” 

Leger Fernandez added, “We will remain a leader in ensuring that patients have access to the full spectrum of healthcare they need and deserve, including access to abortion care.” It should be noted that ther is never a medically necessary reason for abortion, therefore there is no such thing as “abortion care.” Abortion is the selective killing of a child in the womb.

In the attempt to take out Congresswoman Yvette Herrell (R-NM-02) from the House of Representatives, Democrats heavily gerrymandered New Mexico’s congressional map, which plunged large swaths of Democrat voters while adding conservative areas into Leger Fernandez’s Third District. According to FiveThirtyEight, Leger Fernandez’s district was winnowed down from a D+14 seat to a D+5. Leger Fernandez faces Republican Alexis Martinez Johnson in the General Election. Martinez Johnson previously ran for the seat in 2020, so this race would be a second round for the two candidates.

With a competitive cycle ahead in November, national polls are showing Democrats are training Republicans on generic ballots by double digits. Since protecting human life in the womb is an issue that many moderate Democrats in New Mexico believe is important, Leger Fernandez’s doubling-down on her pro-abortion stance could hurt her beyond measure in the November 8 General Election. 

Rep. Melanie Stansbury (D-NM-01), who also faces a tougher reeleciton with her district being downgraded from a D+18 to a D+11 could also face a tough race, with her radical stance on abortion.

“It’s now clearer than it’s ever been: SCOTUS is about to gut our basic rights to control our own bodies. It’s up to the Senate to end the filibuster and pass the Women’s Health Protection Act, now,” the first-term Democrat congresswoman wrote on Twitter.

She added, “Care remains available—this is still a draft opinion. But we must continue the fight in the Senate and at the ballot box.”

As Democrats continue to go all-in on abortion up-to-birth policies, Republicans have a shot at picking up seats across the nation, especially with the control of Congress and the Legislatures having even more significance in the abolition of abortion across the U.S.

MLG slapped with yet another ethics complaint alleging illegal donations

3 Comments / New Mexico, News, Politics / By

On Monday, the group “Stop MLG” announced it had filed an ethics complaint with the State Ethics Commission against scandal-ridden alleged serial groper Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham.

The group wrote that Lujan Grisham “refuses to comply with state law again accepting illegal campaign contributions. The Governor has broken state campaign finance law by receiving campaign funds that exceed the legal limit.”

“The latest violation shows the Governor’s Campaign Committee reported a campaign contribution of $22,000 from the Pueblo of Santo Domingo. This donation exceeds the maximum donation permitted by law per N.M. Stat. § 1-19-34.7. The maximum contribution limit for Governor candidates is $20,800, split between primary and general elections,” read a press release from the group.

These alleged violations included aggregate donations by the Pueblo of Santo Domingo totaling $22,000. 

“New Mexicans are all too aware of the repeated unlawful acts by Gov. Lujan Grisham,” said Brett Kokinadis, the director of the group. ”Campaign finance and reporting violations, lawsuits against her office for alleged violations of the Inspection of Public Records Acts and from the legislature, questionable use of $222,000 of campaign donations to serve as hush money to silence sexual allegation claims and pay attorney fees all demonstrate the Governor’s refusal to comply with the law.  She believes she operates under her own proclaimed laws and policies.”

“New Mexican voters should be disturbed by all these actions, distractions, and repeated violations by the Governor who continues to believe she is above the law and untouchable,” he said.

This comes after the group filed a complaint in October 2021 against Lujan Grisham, which resulted in the Governor returning donations from the company “Intrepid Potash.” Other complaints have been filed against Lujan Grisham, including one filed in May 2021 by Piñon Post editor John Block, which involved the spending of campaign cash for the Governor’s hair and makeup — personal expenses according to state law and guidelines.

Report: NM Dominion machines had ‘erroneous code’

4 Comments / New Mexico, News, Politics / By

According to a report by Nick Moseder, he claims that researcher Dan Sundin has found that “31 of 47 precincts in Otero County were completely missing ALL of their Election Day results” from 2020. More concerning is that Dominion voting machines were configured with the wrong software, creating a “software mismatch.”

“[T]he machine was running on version 5.2.17, but was WRONGLY configured for version 5.2.4,” wrote Moseder.

Unlike in other states, namely Tennessee where a similar issue occurred in  2021 municipal election, “the damage caused by this ‘erroneous code’ is largely unknown. However, what we DO know is that the system reported a software mismatch.” However, “the election continued. Thus, proving that Tennessee was not an isolated incident.” 

According to the report, the findings from the Tennessee issue were as follows: 

Now according to the test laboratories and the EAC [U.S. Elections Assistance Commission], this “anomaly” was related to “the imported D-Suite 5.5 election definition used on the D-Suite 5.5-B system.” In other words, a ton of ballots were marked as provisional, and mass adjudicated because the machines had an outdated software configuration, which caused them to misread the ballots.

They chalked this up to a simple mistake, but if this was merely an accident, why wasn’t this caught during the Logic and Accuracy testing PRIOR to the election? Isn’t that what these so called “testing laboratories” are supposed to do? Aren’t Pro V&V and SLI Compliance hired SPECIFICALLY to make sure that the machines are running the proper software before an election?!?! And they just so happened to miss something of this significance?

In my opinion, this proves that either: A) Logic and Accuracy testing is a JOKE. B) This was done intentionally to allow for manipulation C) All of the above

Sundin looked on the EAC website to confirm which version of the software had been approved. Mosedor writes, “NEITHER version appears ANYWHERE on their website under New Mexico.”

“So, what does this mean?! Put simply, these machines were configured to an un-certified software version, ran on a DIFFERENT un-certified software version, and despite the fact that the machines gave an error during the election, the election continued anyway,” concluded Mosedor.

New Mexicans react after Democrat lawmaker has border wall photo-op

6 Comments / New Mexico, News, Politics / By

On Saturday, Democrat House Leader Javier Martinez of Albuquerque posted about a photo-op he had at New Mexico’s southern border with Mexico, writing, “I had the opportunity to visit our NM’s border with Mexico. It’s bustling with activity and billions of dollars in international trade between New Mexico and the world. Proud to be from these borderlands and proud to be a New Mexican!”

But completely ignoring the issues the United States faces with the border bringing in massive violent crime, fentanyl pouring across, and human trafficking rampant, Martinez instead claimed these “borderlands” are a hub for “international trade.” He did not mention the trading of human sex slaves or the trade of deadly fentanyl that only takes one pill to kill someone. 

New Mexicans responded to Martinez’s photo-op. One person wrote, “You’ve done more in a day than @KamalaHarris has done in her entire political career.”

Another wrote, “You forgot to mention all the fentanyl coming over.” Someone echoed the comment with, “That puts the B in billions of dollars of international trade.”

One person added, “Now get rid of Lujan NM is either 49th or 50th in everything that’s good for We The People.” 

One far-left commenter claimed in defense of Martinez, “We don’t need a damn wall,” despite the wall proving an effective tool to stop the illegal trade of drugs and human smuggling, according to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. 

The photo is strangely reminiscent of far-left U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocaso-Cortez’s photo-op at an ICE detention facility, where she faked tears in front of the cameras while sadly looking into the facility.

Martinez has in the past supported radical bills promoting illegal immigration, including one bill to put illegal alien teachers in New Mexico schools. Now, the far-left state legislator is the Democrats’ standard-bearer, with House Speaker Brian Egolf (D-Santa Fe) stepping down after his current term. Martinez became Democrat House Leader after his predecessor, former state Rep. Sheryl Williams Stapleton resigned following federal charges, which included racketeering, money laundering, and kickbacks.

NM counties are among the highest-growing rent prices in the nation

4 Comments / New Mexico, News, Politics / By

According to a report from the Washington Post, many New Mexico counties were included in its list of counties with the highest growing rents amid the recent pandemic. Multiple counties, both urban and rural, were included on the list.

According to the report, Bernalillo County was near the top of the national list, with rents rising 21%, with price estimates for multi-family rentals approximately $1,056 per month. In Santa Fe County, rents rose 18% in the same period, with approximately $1,341 per month.

In Sandoval County, rents rose 15%, with prices around $1,207, while in McKinley County, rents rose 14%, now at approximately $807 per month. Doña Ana County saw high rent increases as well, with prices of approximately $896 per month, an increase of 13%. Curry County rent prices rose 13%, with an $843 price tag for multi-family rentals. 

Otero County rates rose 11%, with a monthly rent price of around $840. Los Alamos County followed Otero with a 10% rent increase, coming in at $1,047 per month.

With inflation at 8.5% and climbing, everything is getting more expensive, including gasoline, groceries, and rent, all harming the lowest-income consumers.

Because of anti-energy policies in New Mexico, including the Energy Transition Act (Green New Deal), and the state Land Office’s yanking of oil leases, costs for fuel and the transportation of goods are being passed along to the consumer.

MLG says her fundraising is ‘WAY behind’ ahead of reporting deadline

7 Comments / New Mexico, News, Politics / By

On Thursday, scandal-ridden alleged serial groper Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham deployed a panicky-sounding fundraising email announcing that her campaign is “WAY behind on our $150,000 April fundraising goal.”

“With national Republicans pushing harder than ever to remove me from office, I have to call every voter, knock on every door, and run as many ads as I can to win – but if I fall short this month, I’ll have to make devastating budget cuts,” she claimed in the email.

The far-left Democrat being “way” behind on fundraising could be due to a number of factors, including her donors, possibly having a lack of enthusiasm. The fundraising cutoff for the next reporting deadline is May 2, 2022.

This lack of support might stem from Lujan Grisham’s lavish campaign spending on ritzy Taos Ski Valley getaways and six-figure legal settlements to alleged groping victims. Maybe Lujan Grisham’s fundraising is drying up due to her giving her daughter, Erin Grisham, thousands of dollars in cash for personal hair and makeup expenses.

Lujan Grisham faces multiple Republicans who aim to defeat her in November, including former television weatherman Mark Ronchetti, state Rep. Rebecca Dow, former Cuba Mayor Ethel Maharg, Sandoval County Commissioner Jay Block, and financial advisor Greg Zanetti.

So far, Lujan Grisham, in the last quarter, reported donations of almost $2.7 million, with many maxed-out donations from high-profile leftists and leftist groups such as Planned Parenthood, novelist George R.R. Martin, Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s wife, Mary Katherine Pritzker, and the American Federation of Teachers. Many of these donations were reported as anonymous donors, which amounted to tens of thousands of dollars in dark money.

Study finds Albuquerque near top of national list for homicides

4 Comments / New Mexico, News, Politics / By

According to a new study by Wallethub, Albuquerque ranks near the top of the national for homicides, ranking 15th among the entire country.

“Alarmingly, homicide rates have risen by an average of 17% in 50 of the most populated U.S. cities between Q1 2020 and Q1 2022, and are still rising,” wrote the group.

Albuquerque ranks only below the leftist-run cities of Chicago, IL, Durham, NC, Washington, DC, Las Vegas, NV, Dallas, TX, Detroit, MI, Norfolk, VA, Louisville, KY, Milwaukee, WI, Memphis, TN, Baltimore, MD, Atlanta, GA, Cincinnati, OH, and the most homicide-ridden city of New Orleans, LA.

Albuquerque had worse homicide rates than cities such as Minneapolis, MN, which was the starting place of the violent George Floyd riots which resulted in around $500 million in damages to the heavily populated city. It also beat out large cities such as Philadelphia, PA, and Los Angeles, CA, which have been notorious for being crime-ridden.

The City of Albuquerque had 4.85 homicides per capita in 2022 so far, an increase of 1.04 since 2020.

In 2022, Democrat Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham instructed the Legislature to focus on crime during the 30-day legislative session but unsuccessfully passed meaningful reforms to assist with the crime problem plaguing many localities in New Mexico with Albuquerque leading the pack.

The news spurred a statement from the New Mexico House Republicans, which wrote on Twitter, “ABQ ranks 15th highest in nation for homicides. We are expecting that @NMHouseDems will convene another “crime meeting” to discuss this continued violent crime that they refused to address during the 2022 legislative session.”

Lujan Grisham, who was accused and later settled at least $150,000 over groping claims by a former staffer, is up for a tough reelection campaign, with Republicans aiming to dethrone her in November. She has often supported anti-police radicals, even ones that bucked her pandemic mandates.

As we previously reported:

However, that’s a complete shift from her previous position, where she applauded and praised the “thousands of New Mexicans who peacefully protested in Albuquerque” in late May after the death of George Floyd sparked protests and riots nationwide. She went on to announce that “The state of New Mexico will stand ready to assist local governments in facilitating peaceful protests.”

She also acknowledged that these protests were a violation of her strict mass gatherings policy, but said they were fine she was going to “take a leap of faith” in protecting the protesters blatantly violating her rules.

She said, “This is a violation of the mass gatherings, no doubt, but we’re just going to take a leap of faith in protecting protesters who have no other way, quite frankly. Right? There’s no other way to be seen, to be heard, to be respected, and to be clear about your message.”

Dow ad hits Ronchetti over 2019 climate change, anti-Trump comments

32 Comments / New Mexico, News, Politics / By

On Tuesday, state Rep. Rebecca Dow released a new advertisement showing fellow Republican gubernatorial candidate Mark Ronchetti’s ties to George Soros-funded groups, first reported by the Piñon Post in 2020. Ronchetti addressed a “climate change” event in 2019 at the University of New Mexico, where he pledged to work with climate activists 

As we previously reported:

The radical group Ronchetti partnered with, Climate 350, is currently funding a campaign called “Vote Climate” that plans to use people in the media to help “educate” the public, namely REPUBLICAN VOTERS who they believe do not acknowledge the “science of climate change.”

Dow’s campaign wrote about the ad in an email to supporters, “Not only are we battling Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and their liberal crony MLG – but we’re fighting a two-front war against a well-funded fake Republican using DC establishment money to sell the fairy tale that he is still a Republican.”

“Even though he ADMITTED he wasn’t a Republican anymore, because of ‘the orange one’… Three guesses who he’s insulting,” referring to Ronchetti’s jab at President Donald J. Trump. 

“That’s right. He’s not only a Never Trumper, but a Soros-backed climate activist and a PRETENDER to the Republican nomination,” added Dow’s team. 

Watch the ad, which is titled “Pretender,” below:

MLG’s alleged groping victim may have info on sitting official tied to Epstein

7 Comments / New Mexico, News, Politics / By

On Monday, scandal-ridden alleged serial groper Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham’s ex-staffer, James Hallinan, who she paid over $150,000 for groping claims, made a cryptic tweet. He wrote that a “sitting” elected official might have been closely tied to pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

Hallinan wrote that these connections between Epstein and this unnamed elected official “include rides to [and] from the airport and his ranch,” referring to Zorro Ranch in Santa Fe County, where Epstein is said to have raped underaged women.

“If the residents can substantiate it, it’ll be explosive and I’ll name said elected,” wrote Hallinan.

He concluded by adding, “stay tuned…” 

New Mexicans are well-aware of former Democrat Gov. Bill Richardson’s ties to Jeffrey Epstein, with the ex-state chief executive being named in the pedophile’s “little black book.” 

But it is unclear who this “sitting elected official” could be, as there are many who were and still are close to Richardson, including Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham who was the state Secretary of Health under the ex-governor from 2004 to 2007. 

Many New Mexicans opined on Hallinan’s tweet, with one person writing, “Keller? Heinrich? Richardson? Michelle Lujan Grisham? Stansbury? Stapleton? I wouldn’t be shocked if it was a WOMAN.”

Another wrote, “Well if this is true, it is going to be fun!”

Time will tell what information Hallinan may know, but to many New Mexicans, it would be no surprise to have such an individual in state government, given the many powerful men and women who have fallen from grace, such as former Democrat House Majority Leader Sheryl Williams Stapleton, who is facing federal charges for racketeering, fraud, and other serious crimes.
