MLG formally announces special legislative session for redistricting, appropriating federal funds

4 Comments / New Mexico, News, Politics / By

On Thursday, scandal-ridden alleged serial groper Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham formally announced a special legislative session for the Legislature to approve congressional, legislative, and Public Education Commission maps. Also, the session will work on appropriating federal funds following the Governor’s loss at the Supreme Court, showing she broke the law by unilaterally expensing funds during the pandemic.

The release from the Governor’s office notes that “beginning at noon on Monday, December 6, as required once each decade by the state constitution. The legislature will also during the session appropriate outstanding American Rescue Plan Act funds to address the urgent needs of New Mexicans in communities large and small.”

Lujan Grisham wrote in the press release, “A fundamental part of our American democracy is ensuring that all voters are represented, and the redistricting effort will make sure that the right of all New Mexicans to vote is complemented by fair representation through their elected officials. I look forward to a productive and collegial session and know lawmakers and legislative leadership will as always carry out the people’s business thoughtfully and respectfully, in a way that honors this important work.”

Interestingly, the Governor used the word “fair” regarding the maps, as all the state House maps would benefit Democrats, and two of the three congressional maps would benefit Democrats. Two of the three state Senate maps would help Democrats.

Democrats have done everything possible to keep New Mexicans out of the Roundhouse during the special session, with a ban on all firearms for the general public with few exceptions and forced jabs to enter the building, leaving around 35.7% of the population unable to access the building supposedly dubbed the“People’s House,” according to the latest jab numbers on the New Mexico Department of Health website.

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.

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.

Totalitarian rule at the Roundhouse: Jabs, masks required for the public

9 Comments / New Mexico, News, Politics / By

In a move to further keep the public away from the Roundhouse during the Special Session of the Legislature rumored for December 6, “proof of full vaccination will be required for any member of the public to enter the Capitol building in Santa Fe during the upcoming special session and regular session,” according to KOB 4.  The reconvening of the Legislature is meant for redistricting, which is done every ten years following the Census.

Despite scandal-ridden alleged serial groper Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham claiming “fully vaccinated” is “three shots” — two regular shots and a booster — the Piñon Post has learned from the Legislative Council Service (LCS) that they are going by CDC guidelines. CDC guidelines define“fully vaccinated” as two weeks following the second Moderna or Pfizer COVID-19 shot. It will not require a COVID booster shot.

Raúl Burciaga, director of the New Mexico Legislative Council Service said, “Given the high number of COVID-19 cases across the state and the strain this continues to put on state resources, it is incumbent on us to protect everyone in the Capitol complex while conducting the state’s business,” He added, “I believe the measures being taken for the special and regular sessions will allow for the work to get done while greatly minimizing the risk for COVID spread.”

The new rules according to KOB:

  • The Roundhouse will remain open to members of the public for the special and regular sessions.
  • Proof of full vaccination will be required for any member of the public to enter the Capitol.
  • The Rotunda will not be used for displays, booths, presentations, special days, etc.
  • Pages will not be used by the House or Senate. 
  • No tours will be conducted or allowed in the Capitol. 
  • Masks will continue to be required throughout the Capitol Complex. 

As well as the extreme “COVID” mandates at the Roundhouse, leftist legislators rammed through a gun ban on most firearms at the Capitol, which can be read more about here.

According to the LCS, the special session will be held both in-person and virtually.

Do not applaud MLG throwing crumbs to the peasantry

7 Comments / Editorial / By

Scandal-ridden alleged serial groper Michelle Lujan Grisham believes she is so generous, so magnanimous, and oh so kind to us peasants who live under her rule. 

After raiding the permanent fund for her extremist socialist policies, crippling the oil and gas industry at the knees with the passage of her “Green New Deal,” shuttering 40% of New Mexico small businesses with her pandemic orders, forcing New Mexicans to stand in breadlines over the holidays last year, and the constant abuse she has delved out to New Mexicans from Española to Hobbs, now she is ready to throw us some crumbs.

Crumbs that come in the form of one of the most insignificant, insulting “tax cuts” that would make Marie Antoinette faint. 

Michelle Lujan Grisham wants to give us New Mexicans a whole 0.25% decrease in gross receipts tax. That means our already mammoth 5.125% tax rate would fall to 4.875% if passed by the Legislature.

A vote against this bill is cheap and easy political fodder to claim Republicans who oppose it “voted against tax cuts,” even though the Lujan Grisham regime has raised taxes far above 0.25% with her policies. Have you checked your gas bill recently? Yeah, it’s bad.

And it being an election year, Lujan Grisham thinks she can steal another term as governor by throwing crumbs at you and me. Pardon my French, but as the old saying goes, “don’t piss on my leg and tell me it’s raining.” 

MLG must think we are all a bunch of idiots who will simply ignore her payments of $150,000 to an ex-staffer who claims she groped his crotch. She thinks these crumbs will make us forget she munched on $200/lb Wagyu beef steaks, whiskey, and fine wine while New Mexicans waited in bone-chilling temperatures outside the local Walmart to get bread and milk. 

Lujan Grisham thinks New Mexicans will simply forget her belittling of citizens over supposed lack of mask-wearing, her mocking of people living in Deming, her displacement of elderly folks living in nursing homes during the pandemic, her mishandling of $250 million in federal funds that suddenly went “missing” from the Department of Workforce Solutions, and the countless scandals Lujan Grisham has racked up.

The Governor’s insulting supposed “tax cut” she wants to throw at us New Mexicans as some idiotic form of “charity” shows she truly thinks we are some of the dumbest, easily manipulatable people on Earth. If she really wanted to boost economic development, maybe she shouldn’t displace oil workers with her evil policies, such as those who live in the Navajo Nation and in southern New Mexico in the oil patch.

If MLG was truly serious about helping hurting families in New Mexico, DO AWAY WITH THE GROSS RECEIPTS TAX ALTOGETHER! 

At least for me, I refuse to forget MLG’s years of abuse, and I will be doing everything I can, from my local neighborhood meeting to the voting booth, to kick her to the curb, whether she wants to throw crumbs at me or not. What about you?

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.”

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.

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

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.”
