U.S. Dept. of Education paying UNM students $5k to be trained in CRT

1 Comment / New Mexico, News, Politics / By

According to a new report from Just The News, the U.S. Department of Education is funding the racist Critical Race Theory with million-dollar awards at colleges across the country. The list includes the University of New Mexico.

The report notes that the program is called “The Research Institute for Scholars of Equity,” or RISE. Just The News notes that RISE promises to produce “a cadre of scholars who value and advance equity.” In the program, “RISE students receive a $5,000 stipend, money for food and housing, and a travel allowance. According to promotional materials and grant documents, RISE students are trained to use critical race theory as a means of evaluating teacher quality, among other things.” 

Jonathan Butcher, an education expert at the Heritage Foundation, said, “This is an example of federal funding for CRT at the post secondary level that also has an impact on K-12 schools based on the goals and activities of the fellowship.” He noted, “This directly exposes the claims that CRT is not used in K-12 schools as false.”

“The grant clearly has goals for teacher training that include instruction in CRT,” he added. 

The first grants, approved by the Barack Obama administration include the wording “critical race theory”: 

“One core feature of the fellowship is the eight-week summer research institute in which fellows will be introduced to critical race theory (as well as mixed-methods research techniques) as a means of studying issues such as teacher quality, education policy, and race and social justice in education.”

“In addition to coursework, fellows will conduct several short research projects and begin conducting research related to the RISE theme as part of research interest groups (RIGs) under the supervision of their faculty mentors. Fellows will continue to conduct research through their RIGs during the academic year.”

The 2021 grant under Joe Biden has the same wording but omits “critical race theory.”

Just The News notes, “A flyer on the University of New Mexico’s website advertises the summer of 2020 program, calling it a ‘Paid Virtual RISE Summer Research Experience in Critical Race Theory & Education for Undergraduate Students’.” 

Critical Race Theory is being installed not just in the K-12 education system, as leftists are trying to do in New Mexico, but it is infiltrating college campuses, including UNM, which has become increasingly left-leaning under the scandal-ridden administration of alleged sexual predator and child abuser Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham. The embattled governor is currently working on updating social studies standards through the New Mexico Public Education Department to include tenets of CRT.

Leger Fernandez scrapes at the bottom of the barrel to bash Trump, raise cash

2 Comments / New Mexico, News, Politics / By

In an end-of-the-month fundraising email sent out on Tuesday, Rep. Teresa Leger Fernandez (D-NM-03) used President Donald Trump as a vehicle to attempt to stir up some last-minute donations before the clock hit midnight.

Her email used personal attacks on the 45th President and made far-out claims of abuse of power, as well as racism, misogyny, and what she called “hatred of every kind.”

The first-term Democrat wrote, “We watched for four years as Donald Trump espoused racism, misogyny, and hatred of every kind — while the GOP stood by him. We watched him abuse the power of his high office for his own gain — and the GOP stood by him.”

“It became clear to me that if we were going to secure responsible governance for the people of this nation, leaders would have to stand up and step up to fight for what is right: for justice, decency, the rule of law, and the common good.”

Leger Fernandez, a supporter of abortion up-to-birth, the Green New Deal, and all other positions held by the fringe of the Democrat Party’s farthest left base, appears to be making an argument that she and Democrats are somehow morally superior to President Trump and Republicans by making vague arguments and alluding to buzzwords to belittle Republicans.

As the Democrat claims, “We watched him abuse the power of his high office for his own gain,” but no specific charges are noted. It also appears to be ironic she is using this argument, as she is allies of scandal-ridden alleged serial groper Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham who the New Mexico Supreme Court ruled abused her power in office to usurp authority from the legislative branch.

Lujan Grisham also abused her power to cover up sexual assault allegations of a former staffer with $150,000 in hush money. The apparent victim, James Hallinan, accused the Governor of pouring water over his crotch and then groping him through his jeans.

Despite these horrific actions taken by the Governor, Leger Fernandez has no apparent issue with Lujan Grisham’s abuses of power in office. It appears she is scraping at the bottom of the barrel with her leftist supporters to squeeze them dry of any remaining Trump hatred in the form of campaign donations.  

Recently, the National Republican Congressional Committee put Leger Fernandez on an expanded list of Democrat targets in 2022, signaling a glimmer of hope for Northern New Mexico Republicans in the Third District. It is still unclear, however, how district lines will be drawn, with a special legislative session rumored to begin on December 6, 2021.

Pedophile-linked Lincoln Project targets GOP Rep. Herrell: Report

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

According to Alex Ross of the Roswell Daily Record, the disgraced pedophile-linked fake “Republican” group the Lincoln Project has conservative Republican Congresswoman Yvette Herrell (NM-CD-2) on its “preliminary list” of Republicans it is trying to target in 2022.

Ross writes, “Spokesperson for Lincoln Project told me today they are ‘finalizing’ the House Republicans they hope to target in 2022, but say Yvette Herrell of #NM02 is ‘on our preliminary list.’ Herrell last November unseated Democrat Xochitl Torres Small 54 to 46%.” 

He added, “Herrell has been one of [President] Trump’s most ardent supporters in Congress, voting against certifying the election results in states Biden won in an attempt to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election. Trump also carried #NM02 by a large margin.”

The Lincoln Project has been dubbed the “Pedophile Project” by Donald Trump, Jr. after the group’s co-founder John Weaver reportedly harassed nearly two dozen underaged boys, one young man saying the sexual messages started when he was 14. The group is also known for widely condemned media stunts, such as in Virginia’s gubernatorial election where it paid actors dressed as racist Charlottesville protesters to erroneously claim support for Republican Glenn Youngkin. Despite the desperate ploy, Youngkin won the election.

Now, the scandal-plagued D.C. group is attempting to get back on its feet after its fall from grace by helping out radical leftist Democrats to attempt to unseat Herrell. 

But Congresswoman Herrell responded, “Bring it on! I’m proud to be a true conservative representing our New Mexico values, and I won’t back down.” 

It appears the hand-selected choice of the radical New Mexico Democrat Party for the Second District is Gabe Vasquez, a Trump-hating social justice keyboard warrior and Las Cruces City Councilor who believes the United States is “deeply rooted” in “white supremacy.” He has already snagged many of New Mexico’s high-profile endorsements, including that of Democrat Sen. Martin Heinrich. He is also endorsed by porn actor-turned Democrat state Rep. Roger Montoya. 
Herrell is asking donors to help her combat the left-wing extremism of the Lincoln Project by donating here.

Maggie Toulouse Oliver explodes over Trump ‘Big Lie’ statement, claims he’s targeting her

7 Comments / New Mexico, News, Politics / By

In a Sunday statement, President Donald Trump wrote, “I am willing to challenge the heads of the various papers or even far-left politicians, who have perpetuated the Real Big Lie, which is voter irregularities and fraud on a massive and determinative scale”

The 45th President added, “While I am willing to do it, they will never agree because they cannot argue that facts in states including Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Georgia, Arizona, Nevada, New Hampshire, and others such as New Mexico, where the Democrat Secretary of State changed the voting laws without legislative approval just prior to the election, making it virtually impossible for the Republican presidential candidate to win.” 

The 2020 election, which allegedly had massive fraud, including in New Mexico under the watch of Secretary of State Maggie Toulouse Oliver, with the lack of purging voter rolls, the failure to implement an identification card to vote, ballot harvesting running rampant, and dark money leftist ally groups working overtime to perpetuate the “Big Lie” that voter fraud in the state does not exist. 

President Trump’s recent statements targeting Toulouse Oliver have resulted in her freaking out via a fundraising email to her donors, claiming “Trump zeroes in on Maggie.” 

The desperate ploy claims President Trump’s statement “is a lie,” bashing him as a “bully.” She also erroneously claimed he is “going after Maggie and our voting rights.”

“We must protect our democracy by standing up to bullies like him. Grassroots donors like you are the lifeblood of our campaign. With our fundraising blackout rapidly approaching, and Trump just getting started on spouting his lies and bullying Maggie, we need to raise as much money as possible,” the email wrote, subsequently asking for campaign funds. 

It is unclear why the Toulouse Oliver campaign is claiming “voting rights” are being targeted, as the 45th President zeroed in on fraudulent activity permitted by the Secretary of State, not the right to vote. 

Toulouse Oliver faces off against the only declared Republican candidate, conservative activist Audrey Trujillo of Corrales.

Lujan Grisham, NMPED outed as ‘child abusers’ following landmark study

7 Comments / New Mexico, News, Politics / By

A new scientific study by Brown University scientists, in conjunction with the global consulting firm Resonance, shows that young children’s development is expected to drop by 23 percent during the pandemic due to masking.

Sean CL Deoni, Jennifer Beauchemin, Viren D’Sa, and Alexandra Volpe wrote the review, collecting data from 1,600 children and their caregivers who have been enrolled in the study between the ages of 0 and 5 on a rolling basis. 

The Daily Mail reports, “The probe analyzed the cognitive development of the youngsters through infancy, childhood and adolescence, and looked at how average development scores in three key areas had been affected during the [pandemic] era – with shocking results.” 

Researchers first watched 1,070 assessments administered on 650 children before March 2020 when lockdowns and masking started. 

“Then, a further 154 assessments from 118 kids administered between March 2020 and June 2021, during the height of the pandemic, were carried out. Meanwhile, 39 children born in 2018 and 2019 were analyzed over the course of the pandemic, into 2021,” The Daily Mail notes. 

The tests included measuring three “widely accepted” measures of child development, including the early learning composite (ELC), verbal development quotient (VDQ), and non-verbal development quotient (NVDQ)…. A child’s early learning composite is derived from their fine motor, visual reception, receptive, and expressive language scales, and [in] the early years equivalent to an IQ score.”

The shocking results revealed that the mean ELC dropped by 23 percent from a high under 100 in 2019 to approximately 80 in 2020, then 77 in 2021. The VDQ dropped from an average of 100 in 2018 to below 90 in 2020, and around 70 in 2021. The NVDQ also showed negative results. It dropped from a mean score of around 105 in 2019 to 100 in 2020 and around 80 in 2021.

The study said that “children born during the pandemic have significantly reduced verbal, motor, and overall cognitive performance compared to children born pre-pandemic.”

“[M]asks worn in public settings and in school or daycare settings may impact a range of early developing skills, such as attachment, facial processing, and socioemotional processing,” the report concluded. 

However, in New Mexico, scandal-ridden alleged serial groper Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham has forced masking of children in schools, as well as masking required in all indoor settings, which has outed the embattled Governor and her New Mexico Public Education Department (NMPED) administering her edicts as apparent “child abusers” who have stalled child development. 

Lujan Grisham’s mask mandates have extended even to school sports, with children over three forced to “mask up,” which is stunting their development. These mandates forced children to wear masks at school, even recently as younger children have been approved by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to get the jab. Masks are required for all regardless. 

One Twitter user branded Lujan Grisham and NMPED as “child abusers” and others added onto that:

Keller roasted online for once again skirting MLG’s indoor mask mandate

3 Comments / New Mexico, News, Politics / By

While New Mexicans are being forced to abide by scandal-ridden alleged serial groper Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham’s indoor mask mandate, with the threat of her sending the State Police to enforce the edict, Democrat politicians feel they need not abide by the rules she is forcing upon the public.

Over the weekend, socialist Albuquerque Mayor Tim Keller was spotted shopping around Albuquerque on Small Business Saturday, but in one of the photos he posted online, it showed him maskless while patronizing an indoor shop. Although he was maskless, in non-compliance with Lujan Grisham’s edict, his daughter Maya was spotted masked-up standing beside him.

This is the second time Keller has skirted the Governor’s public health orders, despite being an ally of Lujan Grisham and a supposed proponent of these mask orders. Keller was previously spotted at the wedding of Shaun Peña, the son of Democrat Albuquerque City Councilor Klarissa Peña.

When challenged on Facebook over the maskless event, Bernalillo County Clerk Linda Stover, who also was in attendance at the maskless wedding, claimed, “[W]e were all vaccinated – [D]on’t jump so quickly to try and make a nice moment look bad.” 

But with Keller’s latest failure to wear a mask indoors despite the Lujan Grisham mandate, New Mexicans raked him over the coals as a “rules for thee but not for me”-type ruler.

One account wrote, “Don’t wear your masks anymore people!!! Keller isn’t wearing his and @GovMLG doesn’t wear one. So why keep it on?”

“We’re really worried since our leaders exhibit this type of behavior,” wrote another.

“Hey you are not wearing a mask indoors there…come on man!,” wrote one Twitter user, while another opined, “We don’t have to wear masks indoors now @GovMLG? Or only the Mayor gets a pass? For thee but not for me?” 

Republican gubernatorial candidate and Sandoval County Commissioner Jay Block wrote,“Will @GovMLG fine him or call out Mayor Hypocrite? If she couldn’t call out her BFF sex predator Cuomo, you really expect her to slap Timmy on the wrist? Nope.”

Ironically, in a previous video done for Gov. Lujan Grisham, Keller claimed “a simple mask is key to literally saving lives and to reopening our local business.” 

Those words are now coming back to bite Keller, who was just reelected to a second term.

After killing over 40% of NM small businesses, MLG celebrates ‘Small Business Saturday’

8 Comments / New Mexico, News, Politics / By

On Saturday, scandal-ridden alleged serial groper Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham celebrated the “Small Business Saturday” tax holiday, in which Americans saved the tax when shopping on the Saturday following Thanksgiving. 

“It’s #SmallBusinessSaturday, and in New Mexico that means a tax holiday for shoppers! Small businesses are the backbone of our economy, and it’s more important than ever to to #shopsmall and #buylocal. Save money and support a New Mexico small business today!” wrote the embattled Governor. 

The holiday was first created by American Express, which partnered with the non-profit National Trust for Historic Preservation, Boston Mayor Thomas M. Menino, and Roslindale Village Main Street in 2010. 

However, in New Mexico, Lujan Grisham is responsible for killing at least 40% of New Mexico’s small businesses with her harsh lockdowns and mandates that forced many small businesses into failure. Her lockdowns included a months-long blackout of what she claimed to be “non-essential” businesses, forcing them to stop opening their doors. 

As well, her clampdown on small businesses included allowing Big Box stores to open while mom-and-pop groceries and convenience stores were shuttered. Restaurants and hotels may have been the hardest hit, with out-of-state travel being prohibited with forced testing at hotels and restaurants either completely closed or allowing only outdoor dining, with businesses especially hit hard over the 2020 winter. 

During the holidays, Lujan Grisham forced New Mexicans to stand in cold breadlines to buy food and basic goods, with elderly, disabled, and children forced to face the cold while the Governor feasted on taxpayer-funded $200/lb Wagyu steaks and skirted her pandemic orders to buy luxury jewelry.

The few businesses and religious organizations that defied Lujan Grisham were plunged into even further financial ruin with fines of up to $60,000 and State Police ordered to shut businesses down.

At the time that the Governor was killing jobs and it was revealed 40% of New Mexico small businesses had died, the owner of Nob Hill bar Happy Accidents in Albuquerque told KRQE 13 News, “My industry means everything to me.” She said, “Knowing independent businesses are suffering kills us.”

While ruling during the pandemic, Lujan Grisham constantly bashed people across the state, even publicly shaming people in places like Española and Hobbs who she saw did not wear masks driving or eating at a restaurant.

However, now Lujan Grisham would like New Mexicans to forget how she treated citizens and how she continues to belittle with an election right around the corner in November 2022. But it is unlikely that New Mexicans will forget what happened to them, especially in the heat of the pandemic, with countless small businesses dying forever.

Far-left ABQ City Council candidate whines about pastor endorsing opponent

3 Comments / New Mexico, News, Politics / By

A far-left Albuquerque City Council candidate in the December 7 runoff election is crying to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and Attorney General Hector Balderas because her opponent was endorsed by a local pastor. 

Tammy Fiebelkorn, the leftist candidate whined, “I have always been told that nonprofit 501(c)(3)s are not supposed to engage in political discourse.” She added, “I really hope that the AG and the IRS look into this and see if what he did violated the church’s nonprofit status. More importantly, I really hope that the District 7 voters get out and make their voices heard.”

Her desperate comments came after Albuquerque pastor from Legacy Church, Steve Smothermon, said in a November 16 video, “We need people like her (Robertson) on the City Council to make sure this crazy guy they call mayor doesn’t continue to push his agenda,” referring to the Republican candidate, Lori Robertson.

Apparently, to Fiebelkorn, she thinks Pastor Smothermon no longer has the right to the First Amendment and is demanding bureaucrats investigate him for merely having an opinion. 

Responding on Wednesday, Robertson said, “My opponent is trying to fabricate a scandal that does not exist.”

“What I can say is I appreciated the opportunity to share my faith and to meet with voters and discuss my solutions for our city’s problems,” Robertson said to the Albuquerque Journal.

“Separation of church and state was originally intended to protect the church from government persecution. Indeed this country was in great part founded by those seeking religious freedom,” Pastor Smothermon said.

But despite the crying from Fiebelkorn, the AG’s office has not received a complaint from her and the IRS said it does not comment on individuals or organizations, according to the Journal.

Fiebelkorn is endorsed by scandal-ridden alleged serial groper Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham, a far-left extremist. She also has the endorsements of Sen. Martin Heinrich, Bernalillo County District Attorney Raúl Torres, and socialist Mayor Tim Keller.

The December 7 runoff will also take place in District 9, where Republican Renee Grout and Democrat Rob Grilley are vying for the seat. Early voting ends on December 4.

Thanks to Biden, Lujan Grisham, the average price per gallon of gas in NM hits $3.35

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

In Joe Biden’s America and in Michelle Lujan Grisham’s New Mexico, Democrat socialism is costing citizens where it hurts — their pocketbooks.

As the holidays arrive, and families look to save their money for presents to fill their loved ones’ Christmas with cheer, it is a lot direr in New Mexico, one of the most heavily impoverished states in the nation. Thanks to Lujan Grisham’s strict lockdowns, 40% of New Mexico’s small businesses are gone. 

And at the pump in MLG’s New Mexico, due to anti-energy policies instituted in the state like the “Green New Deal,” as well as the Biden regime’s job-killing edicts, gas prices are soaring to record levels we haven’t seen since the devastating Obama years.

The lowest average gas price in New Mexico right now, according to AAA is $3.20 in Quay County. However, in places like Harding and Catron Counties, New Mexicans can expect an average gas price that is much steeper. For Catron, an average gallon of gas will cost $3.89, while in Harding County, it will cost $3.71. 

This makes the average gas price in New Mexico, according to AAA’s figures, $3.35. Joe Biden and Michelle Lujan Grisham did that. 

And Lujan Grisham’s allies in the Legislature this year proposed a bill that would result in a 20 cent per gallon gas tax that would hurt the poorest New Mexicans. Thankfully, the bill died due to public outrage, including that of the Piñon Post. However, far-left legislators have promised to bring the bill back in the 2022 Legislative Session, if not the 2021 Special Session rumored to begin on December 6, 2021.

As families hurt during the holidays, Gov. Lujan Grisham, an alleged serial groper, and Joe Biden, a failed political hack, are living large while New Mexicans and all Americans suffer under their dictatorial reign.

ABQ pro-lifers to hold Dec. 1 ‘OverturnRoe’ rally as SCOTUS considers pivotal case

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

To commemorate the U.S. Supreme Court hearing arguments on the case Dobbs v. Jackson, which is “​​the most significant challenge to Roe v. Wade to rise up in the courts in more than a decade,” pro-lifers in Albuquerque are joining a national movement started by OverturnRoe.org. 

The group is a national coalition of pro-lifers voicing their encouragements to overturn the rabidly pro-abortion 1973 ruling that legalized abortion on demand in the U.S. 

On December 1, citizens will gather to rally at Tiguex Park in Albuquerque to urge the repeal of abortion on demand in America.

EVENT DETAILS:

WHAT: OverturnRoe Rally in Albuquerque, New Mexico

WHEN: Wednesday, December 1, 2021, 10 a.m. (Mountain)

WHERE: Tiguex Park, 1800 Mountain Rd NW, Albuquerque, NM 87104

MAP: https://goo.gl/maps/YeMSUBaFuQPCJoHy6

ADDITIONAL DETAILS: https://overturnroe.org/blog/site/tiguex-park/ 

“Roe v. Wade is outdated, it’s bad law, and it’s been responsible for the ‘legal’ murder of more than sixty-two million children,” explained Eric Scheidler, Executive Director of the Pro-Life Action League and a key coordinator with the OverturnRoe.org coalition, according to Patch.

A final ruling in the Dobbs case is expected in Spring 2022.
