Michelle Lujan Grisham

Lujan Grisham regime pushes ‘climate emergency’ doomsday propaganda

On Sunday, the Santa Fe New Mexican editorial board posted its latest opinion piece, this time floating the idea that a supposed “climate emergency” must be all that is talked about “all the time.” 

The far-0ut editorial fearmongers imminent disaster if extreme actions are not taking, writing, “the window to stop its progression is rapidly closing.” The board proposes, “Let’s not call it climate change anymore. The planet is in the midst of a climate emergency.”

“That’s why the switch from burning fossil fuels for energy to renewable power is essential. It’s also why New Mexico and the United States must control methane gases and other pollutants,” the editorial continues. “If we can coordinate efforts to stop carbon dioxide emissions by 2050, temperatures will rise, but not to a point that makes life unbearable.” 

The board proposes that through the United Nations, countries should cough up billions of dollars to stop this supposed “climate crisis” with massive investments switching to “renewable” energy to limit the rise in global temperatures by two degrees Fahrenheit.

Scandal-ridden alleged serial groper Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham is touted for her work to ram through radical budget-killing “climate change” policies, such as her Green New Deal (Energy Transition Act), which will decimate the fossil fuels industry by the year 2045. 

“The oil and gas industry is the state’s largest greenhouse gas emitter, and these rules will reduce the industry’s pollution footprint,” the New Mexican editorial board claims, applauding Lujan Grisham’s economy-crippling plan to “increase the availability of zero- and low-emission vehicles in the state. A Clean Fuel Standard is being updated as soon as the next legislative session and the state is shoring up electric vehicle infrastructure.” 

But the state has already seen the devastating effects from the Governor’s “green” proposals, such as the Green New Deal, which is likely to create brownouts by next summer due to an energy shortage and has forced the closure of the San Juan Generating Station by PNM, leaving countless New Mexicans without jobs and only around 80 employees able to retire. For the rest of the employees, though, they’re going to have to go find some other form of employment,” said plant manager Omni Warner. 

Even far-left enviro-Marxist groups have begged the Legislature to make changes to the Energy Transition Act before it completely wrecks the state.

The alternative energies that Democrats’ tout, such as wind and solar, have shown to use toxic pollutants in production, they are unreliable in terms of energy power, and because of how they are produced, wind turbines and old solar panels cannot be recycled. They also are frying (solar) and crushing (wing) birds and bats in mid-air — an extremely devastating demise for these aerial animals. 

But Gov. Lujan Grisham’s administration continues its extremist push for “climate emergency” propaganda by sharing the New Mexican’s editorial board, further showing the regime will push its corrosive agenda — no matter the cost to hard-working New Mexico taxpayers harmed by these destructive globalist policies.

Gov. Lujan Grisham and Speaker Egolf hoist Pride flags atop the Capitol in Santa Fe

While New Mexicans suffer, MLG, Egolf offer up NM as Afghan refugee camp

On Friday, scandal-ridden alleged serial groper Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham joined Speaker of the New Mexico House Brian Egolf (D-Santa Fe) in sending a letter to Joe Biden offering to house refugees fleeing Afghanistan amid Biden’s crisis in the country where the Taliban has taken the reigns. 

The letter from the two Democrat politicians reads as follows:

Here in New Mexico, we have long been a state that values and takes pride in our diversity and unity of many cultures. We have a proud tradition of welcoming refugees from around the world with open arms, and we make no exception for the people of Afghanistan. 

As a state and a nation, our ideals have always been to uphold and value the contributions of every individual. We cannot and should not turn our backs on those around the world who share that ideal. To that end, may this letter serve as a reminder that Ness Mexico is here to help resettle and accommodate those individuals and families who’ve spent the past two decades supporting our U.S. troops, diplomatic personnel, and efforts to bring peace, democracy, and security to Afghanistan. 

We are glad to remain in contact with your administration on the evolving plans for settlement of these vulnerable populations, and we will await further direction from your administration as to how we may be able to support those efforts. 

Despite the two lawmakers’ concerns for the “vulnerable populations” of Afghanistan, never did Egolf or Lujan Grisham offer to house migrants from the communism-ravaged country of Cuba, where people in the country are begging for help from America. They were not welcomed with “open arms” as Egolf and Lujan Grisham claim in their letter.

The offer also comes as New Mexico faces some of the highest unemployment numbers, which are bound to go even higher now that the governor is renewing her strict indoor mask mandate, regardless of vaccination status. 
Lujan Grisham killed 40% of small businesses in the state and we repeatedly hit the number one spot for unemployment. Also, due to the Governor’s new mandates, economy-driving state fairs and festivals are being canceled or scaled back due to the Governor’s mandatory vaccination demands.

Hundreds protest MLG’s forced shot mandate for medical workers at Roundhouse

On Friday, hundreds of New Mexico health care workers, including emergency medical technicians, nurses, doctors, and others affected by Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham’s forced vaccination mandates showed up in droves to the Roundhouse in Santa Fe to protest the mandates, which are now forcing all health care workers to get the inoculation.

“We’re not saying, ‘Don’t get the vaccine.’ We’re not saying, ‘Get the vaccine.’ We’re saying to the governor, ‘We want the choice to put an experimental vaccine in our body, not to be forced,’ ” said Hollie Ortiz, a nurse. She is prepared to quit her job in a matter of days if she is forced to take the jab, according to the Santa Fe New Mexican

Medical workers say that the mandates will only worsen the already strained health care system in New Mexico, with the New Mexico Department of Health sending out an “urgent call” for nurses and hospital staff. With the mandate, it will force health care workers to be fired, quit, and ultimately make these life-saving workers leave the state.

“That makes it even worse,” said Julian Baca, who has worked at the state penitentiary for over 13 years. “Not only are you forcing a vaccine on us, now you’re taking food out of a family’s mouth. Now you’re going to make me lose my home. Now you’re going to make me get my house foreclosed on, or you’re taking away my career.”

Jennifer Alter, an Albuquerque radiology technician said, “I’ve worked so hard…. I feel like I have a high work ethic. I sacrificed for so many years. You know, I’ve worked the two jobs, and I feel like, ‘How dare them?’ ”

But despite these nurses, medical professionals, workers, and others making a plea to the Governor to not force these mandates down health care workers’ throats, her press secretary sent out a condescending statement to the New Mexican demeaning health care workers who did not take the vaccine.

Sackett said that health care in the state has to be rationed “because of unvaccinated New Mexicans spreading a highly infectious and incredibly dangerous virus despite the widespread availability and efficacy of vaccines.”

She added, “Vaccines are required in certain high-risk settings, right now, because anything less is irresponsible and will lead to sickness and potentially death, needless death, and the governor and her administration have been consistent throughout this pandemic in acting on her commitment to limit and prevent needless sickness and death.”

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky told CNN what the COVID-19 vaccines “can׳t do anymore is prevent transmission.” 

Here are some photos from the protest:

Citizens protesting Friday at Roundhouse against forced shots, in ABQ to support small business

This week, scandal-ridden alleged serial groper Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham mandated that healthcare workers must receive the shot by August 27th. The order required that “all workers in New Mexico hospitals and congregate care facilities are required to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19, with only limited exceptions.” She wrote these edicts in response to what she calls a deadly“Delta variant” of the virus.

In response, health care workers and New Mexicans from across the state are teaming up for a protest on Friday at 11:00 a.m. at the Roundhouse in Santa Fe to oppose the mandated inoculations with a peaceful protest. According to organizers, nurses, paramedics, and anyone affected by these unjust mandates will be there, with at least 40 medical workers confirmed to be in attendance.

The mandate will no doubt cause harm and likely termination for medical workers who for nearly a year were forced to work on the frontlines of the pandemic without the option of a shot because it was not developed for experimentation yet. Now, those same workers who risked their health by saving lives during the pandemic could be fired because they choose not to take the jab.  

According to a post from Legacy Church in Albuquerque, the organizers of the protest “are inviting all church members from everywhere to stand with them and attend.” 

Also, on Friday, August 20 there will be a peaceful protest at Backstreet Grill in Albuquerque at 11:00 a.m. on 1919 Old Town Rd NW #6, Albuquerque, NM 87104 to support local businesses.

Lujan Grisham’s administration killed 40% of small businesses in New Mexico.

Backstreet Grill is one of the small businesses that stood up to the Governor and won in court against her oppressive mandates.

Teachers unions pleased as MLG punishes educators with new mandates

On Tuesday, scandal-ridden alleged serial groper Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham announced new harsh mandates, including mask mandates indoors for all people regardless of vaccination status, forced vaccination for medical workers, and requiring educators to show proof of a negative virus test. She claimed these were due to a new strain of the virus called the“Delta variant.”

According to the Governor’s press release, “The state also issued a requirement that all workers at private, public and charter schools in New Mexico either be vaccinated against COVID-19 or otherwise submit to COVID-19 testing on a weekly basis. This policy aligns with the state’s requirement for all state government personnel.” 

While the strict mandates will harm educators, who already have been subjected to extreme testing and masking standards, educators (including apparently private institutions who are not under the mandates of the New Mexico Public Education Department) will further be punished.

But New Mexico teachers unions, which purport to care about educators in the Land of Enchantment, apparently do not care about the strenuous requirements implemented by the Governor. On the contrary, the National Education Association New Mexico (NEA-NM) and the American Federation of Teachers New Mexico (AFT-NM) sent out statements in support of the mandates.

AFT-NM wrote the following: 

“Universal masking requirements for students, staff, and visitors have been proactively negotiated at the local level in many school districts across New Mexico, so standardizing this common-sense, science-based mitigation effort represents another way to best help keep students and educators safe and our doors open for learning. 

“We recognize universal masking and increased surveillance testing for the unvaccinated may be onerous for some educators and students, but we must view these procedures and precautions through the lenses of science and public safety, rather than our own personal comfort. 

“Educators have been on the front lines throughout this pandemic, and our commitment and obligation to advocate and work for safe and in-person learning must not waiver. The example we set moving forward will be seen by our students and families, and New Mexico’s educators must continue to be the role models our students, families, and communities know us to be.”

NEA-NM shared a link from the Albuquerque Journal and claimed the edict for educators “matches a policy imposed for state employees earlier this month.”

Despite claiming to care about children and teachers, the governor’s mandates have forced many parents to pull their children out of the public school system and made many teachers’ lives even harder, with steps to encroach on teachers’ preferences not to take the vaccine.

MLG forcing New Mexicans to wear masks indoors regardless of vaccination status

On Tuesday, Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham announced she is reinstating her previous mandate forcing New Mexicans to wear masks indoors, this time regardless of vaccination status. 

According to a press release from Gov. Lujan Grisham’s office, she will “announce that the state of New Mexico will temporarily re-implement a statewide requirement that facemasks be worn in all public indoor spaces, with only limited exceptions, and regardless of vaccination status, to stem the state’s rising tide of COVID-19 infections and hospitalizations.” 

The reasoning given by the Governor is as follows:

The spread of COVID-19 in New Mexico has increased dramatically in recent weeks, driven by the highly infectious “Delta” variant and primarily unvaccinated populations. State modeling projects that New Mexico will reach 1,000 new daily cases of COVID-19 by the end of August, and as many as 1,000 new daily cases in southeastern New Mexico alone in the weeks after that.

Dan Boyd of the Albuquerque Journal wrote, “New vaccination requirement for workers in hospitals and congregate care settings also on tap.” The Governor’s press release noted,“Under a separate public health order issued by Secretary Scrase, all workers in New Mexico hospitals and congregate care facilities are required to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19, with only limited exceptions.” Few exceptions are allowed. Read more about those here.

According to a release from the Governor’s office: 

Under a public health order issued by Acting Health Secretary David R. Scrase, M.D., the re-implemented mask requirement applies to all individuals aged 2 and older in all indoor public settings — except when eating or drinking.

Masks will be required to everyone in school buildings regardless of vaccination status, which aligns with the most recent guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The Public Education Department has been in the process of updating its toolkit for schools and district personnel.

The indoor mask requirement will be effective Friday, Aug. 20. It will remain in effect until at least September 15. The governor, acting upon the counsel and analysis of the state Medical Advisory Team and state health officials, may decide to extend or lift the requirement as necessary.

Businesses, houses of worship and other entities may enact stricter requirements at their discretion.

MLG now harvesting New Mexicans’ sexual orientation info

Despite Democrats’ failure to pass a bill in the 2021 Legislative Session to harvest New Mexicans’ sexual orientation data through state agencies, scandal-ridden alleged serial groper Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham has signed an executive order unilaterally mandating the State to harvest this private data from citizens.

The Governor is trying to frame the new action as meant to “improve the provisions of service to a traditionally underserved population,” but during the committee process, the analogous bill, sponsored by state Sen. Carrie Hamblen, was met with backlash from community members concerned over the government getting this sensitive data and being able to use it for nefarious purposes.

“The effect of the order will be to enhance the capacity and ability of state agencies to address health disparities and identify and remove barriers to effective care for non-conforming and traditionally undeserved individuals, as well as enhance services and outreach to those groups of people,” claimed the Governor’s office in a press release.

“If we want to solve a problem, we first need information about what’s causing it,” said Lujan Grisham. “If we are to address inequities that LGBTQ+ New Mexicans experience in their interactions with state government, we must first have the information about where those breakdowns are occurring. This voluntary mechanism for demographic analysis is a tool the state of New Mexico can and will use to improve its service to traditionally underserved New Mexicans. I’m proud to have the chance to initiate that process.”

“I’m grateful this executive order will put into place the representation that is overdue and to start compiling necessary data that will be used to determine resources and services that are desperately needed and deserved,” claimed Hamblen.

Despite community members concerns over the harvesting of this data and the keeping of this database, the Governor’s Office claims, “Under the order, information that is voluntarily provided about sexual orientation and gender identity may only be used for demographic analysis, coordination of care, quality improvement of government services, conducting research and guiding policy and funding decisions. Protections about individual identification are likewise written into the order, as well.” 

Time will tell if this new system will create more problems than answers.

Torrance County Commission passes resolution protecting local school boards from NMPED

On Friday, the Torrance County Commission passed a resolution to protect the elected Torrance County municipal school district boards of education by affirming state statute that grants them “certain powers and duties which include developing educational policies for school districts, overseeing budgeting and procurement, and adopting rules pertaining to the administration of all powers and duties of the Torrance County municipal school boards” without threats from Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham’s New Mexico Public Education Department (NMPED).

The action comes after duly elected local school boards, including Floyd Municipal Schools in Roosevelt County, have been under fierce attack by the Governor, who has attempted to suspend them and install her hand-selected NMPED bureaucrats in their stead. 

Floyd Municipal School Board rejected the Governor’s mandates instituting forcible masking of children, instituting segregation based on vaccination status, and instituting a surveillance state where students must show proof of vaccination at all times. Lujan Grisham “suspended” the Floyd School Board members after the duly elected body opposed her edicts.  

The Commission noted, that “dictates by the New Mexico Public Education Department to Torrance County municipal school boards threatening punitive actions such as adverse licensure decisions against school district personnel, suspension of Torrance County municipal school board governance, and other enforcement measures, and regarding operations and policy decisions without legislative approval or going through the proper rule-making process and that do not include input from the local community are antithetical to the concepts of local control, federalism, and the rule of law and violate state statute, the New Mexico Administrative Code, and the Constitution of the State of New Mexico.”

Rep. Stefani Lord (R-Bernalillo, Sandoval, and Santa Fe) wrote on Facebook that the Commission “set aside money for legal defense.” Lord added, “the testimony from the people, especially the kids, was compelling.”

State Sen. David Gallegos (R-Eddy and Lea) was also in attendance for the event, where he spoke about the importance of local control. 

The County Commission’s resolution noted that the “Torrance County municipal school district boards of education be permitted to adopt rules and policies pertaining to the administration of all powers and duties of the Torrance County municipal school boards, which include the responsibility to identify community and school district needs and opinions, and to develop short and long term strategies for the educational success, health, safety, and welfare of students and staff.” 

All three commissioners, LeRoy Candelaria, Kevin McCall, and Ryan Schwebach signed onto the resolution.  

Today at the county commission special session, they amended and passed a resolution to protect the ELECTED school board, allowing them to make decisions that are best for their District without bullying and threats from PED or the Governor.

Seventh Republican, pro-life leader Ethel Maharg, running for governor

On Saturday, pro-life leader Ethel Maharg announced that she is seeking the Republican nomination for governor of New Mexico, making her the seventh GOP contender for the coveted post to take out scandal-ridden alleged serial groper incumbent Democrat Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham. 

Maharg announced her run at New Beginnings Church of God in Albuquerque, with many in attendance. Maharg, the former three-term mayor of Cuba, New Mexico touted her experience and how during her time running the municipality, she “brought economic development to the very economically distressed part of our state. What I left is still standing today, continuing to provide economic stability to the area. We brought national attention to the state with an event that showcased the White House Christmas tree. This event brought in double the gross receipts revenue for that quarter. When I left office, I left it with 1.9 million in the bank.” 

Maharg said, “I am running for governor to breathe life into New Mexico by restoring the foundation, for it is the foundation, our values, and our Constitution, that made our country the envy of the world.” 

She is a supporter of law enforcement, saying, “I am pro-law enforcement. Without respect for the law-no society can exist. I will never defund the police.”

In 2018, Maharg coordinated the Convoy of Hope for Albuquerque, an event that brought over a million dollars’ worth of goods and services to area residents. She also worked with the Hispanic Action Network to distribute 350,000 voter guides throughout the state in an effort to help with the last governor’s race in 2018. For five years, she worked for the pro-life pregnancy center Care Net and currently serves as the executive director of the Right to Life Committee of New Mexico.

“I will continue to work hard in bringing a Godly administration to serve my fellow New Mexicans,” she said.

Maharg joins Sandoval County Commissioner Jay Block of Rio Rancho, businesswoman Karen Bedonie of Mexican Springs, financier Greg Zanetti of Albuquerque, ex-Gary Johnson staffer Tim Walsh of Albuquerque, state Rep. Rebecca Dow of Truth or Consequences, and businessman Louie Sanchez in the crowded Republican field.

MLG whines about rising NM crime despite signing anti-police bills, backing ‘defund the police’ groups

On Friday, KOB 4’s Tessa Mentus had an interview with scandal-ridden alleged serial groper Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham, where the Governor complained about crime in New Mexico, especially in Albuquerque. She said the upcoming legislative session in 2022 will focus on crime.

“You want the safest community – that should be the standard in New Mexico. And in addition, Albuquerque and too many other communities in New Mexico are just not safe.”

She said to lawmakers regarding crime, “If you want a priority, make it a priority. And I expect all policymakers to be more engaged in public safety issues statewide. It’s not Albuquerque or… it’s not Santa Fe or…. We got to all do it together.” 

She added, “I’m open to any kind of legislative effort that makes a difference in the quality of lives (sic) for New Mexicans, and if that means making us safer, so be it.”

Mentus noted, “But we have seen legislative efforts before at our Roundhouse time and time again, and they go nowhere. Public safety bills get introduced, most of them by Republican lawmakers representing the metro, and they barely make it out of committee. Forget ever seeing them make it to the Governor’s desk.” 

When asking how this would be different to the Governor, in a commanding manner, the Governor said, “If I set that tone that this is what I expect, I get it.”

Lujan Grisham added, “I’ve got the votes, and I’ve got bipartisan support.” 

But if Lujan Grisham was focused on eliminating crime, she would not have been a staunch supporter of many anti-police bills proposed last legislative session, including H.B. 4, which put targets on peace officers’ backs by stripping them of qualified immunity and opening police departments and localities up to frivolous lawsuits — bankrupting them.

H.B. 4’s sponsors, Speaker Brain Egolf (D-Santa Fe) and state Rep. Georgene Louis (D-Bernalillo), just so happen to be “civil rights” attorneys who would directly profit off of their legislative proposals. Lujan Grisham signed the anti-police, anti-public safety bill anyway. 

Lujan Grisham’s allies in the Legislature, such as state Sen. Linda Lopez (D-Bernalillo), sponsored the most extreme anti-police bills in the nation, including S.B. 227, which would have implemented the “strongest” anti-police “use of force” standard in the nation.

Now, Lujan Grisham, amid record-breaking homicide rates in Albuquerque and some New Mexico streets looking like warzones, is trying to save face despite her support for Black Lives Matter protesters who want to defund the police. 

And if public safety was such a priority for Lujan Grisham, she would call a special session like she did to implement recreational marijuana in New Mexico.
