SPEAK UP!
OPINION: Speak Up!
Now that KASH PATEL is under scrutiny for alleged alcohol abuse, and with the termination of Kristi Noem, and the emerging inquiry into RFK's handling of the measles epidemic, can we all agree that Trump was way off base when he appointed all three against a tsunami of opposition? RF
Somebody should take away TRUMP鈥橲 PHONE. Apparently we were close to a deal with Iran until Trump started rage posting. Supposedly they kept him out of the War Room because of his erratic behavior; why can鈥檛 they do this? JH
POTUS can't make a legitimate claim to have won the war with Iran until the STRAIT OF HORMUZ is fully open as it was before the war. There was no immediate threat to the U.S., nuclear or otherwise. Long-term effects of this Ill-advised war are unknown. No militarization. MY
Instead of another ego inflated June 14 MMA EXTRAVAGANZA, that we taxpayers get nothing from, perhaps President Trump could honor us with rebate checks. Instead, we get beat up by rising food and gas prices. DD
Kudos to Jeff Tucker for calling out Deb Haaland for endangering SAM BREGMAN and his family by publicizing his real estate holdings. Bregman鈥檚 ads list accomplishments and plans if elected. Haaland touts being a single mom, struggling to put food on the table. Not a compelling argument to be governor. LP
Just a thought, if DONALD TRUMP was not our president, his paranoiac, narcissistic, vitriolic rants would simply be seen as an old man's demented and unfiltered opinions; a man that you hope doesn't come to your family gatherings. Unfortunatedly, he is our president and represents our country. We deserve more. KG
Regarding 鈥淥PINION: "A blueprint for New Mexico's decline" (April 18 Journal) letter by David Gallegos is a brilliant letter about how the "PROGRESSIVES" have destroyed NM. SCOTUS Justice Thomas recently said "Progressivism seeks to replace the basic premises of the Declaration of Independence and hence our form of government.鈥� Vote them out now! DAW
DEB HAALAND "says" she will stand up to Trump. She can't even stand up to Sam Bregman. We are entitled to debates. She is a joke. RGP
It is refreshing to see that this year's candidates for GOVERNOR not only have government experience, but also are avoiding divisive cultural issues and offering ideas and programs to deal with New Mexico's challenges 鈥� like health care, education, CYFD, hunger and others. New Mexicans have some good choices this year. AF
We have been going to our favorite restaurant on CENTRAL for 35 years. Lately, within minutes of parking, we are harassed by men asking for money, sometimes brazenly. Refuse to accept this as the new normal. City leaders: Wake up! Our city is dying. Take action before it's too late. AM
TORRANCE COUNTY ICE detention center is holding souls in inhuman conditions. Operated by CoreCivic, which made huge campaign contributions to Trump and Congress to land multimillions in contracts. Republicans, "the pro-life party," are proud to stand for mistreatment and degradation of human beings. Vote against them in all races. ML
So Trump brags about the U.S. OIL RESERVES and production being even larger than Saudi Arabia, and our self-sufficiency. I don't understand; why are U.S. oil companies raising gas prices based on Iranian oil if we don't buy it? Can you spell corporate greed? DP
In 1950, Nixon opposed Helen Gahagan Douglas for the U.S. Senate and won by sneakily reporting she voted with the Communist Party (as did many in Congress). Hence the name "Tricky Dick." In NM's governor's race, SAM BREGMAN is imitating Nixon by sneakily linking Deb Haaland to Epstein. Tricky Sam? RP
David Rodriguez is correct. Massive fraud will happen within the UNIVERSAL CHILD-CARE program instituted by the governor. As he says, the program is really for show, an ending legacy for Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham. Any time a massive amount of dollars are spent by the government, the thieves are there to enrich themselves. GH
DEB HAALAND worked in Congress. In the time she spent there she accomplished nothing for the state of New Mexico, so why in the world would you award her with the governorship of New Mexico? She is just a clone of the one we got now. NC
Recently towed a travel trailer on I-25 from Hatch to ABQ. Experienced the same sensation as the pioneers on the Oregon Trail. And they didn't have the benefits of tax dollars. Just sayin鈥�. BB
Unfortunately, another young adult dies in jail from a self-induced DRUG OVERDOSE, and the parents file a wrongful death lawsuit. Perhaps the parents should be sued by the state for not intervening and allowing their child to be a drug-using inmate. Parenting comes with long-term responsibilities. AM
MR. PRESIDENT, we are sick of the aggression, lies and cruelty of your regime. Please create a new series of ball caps: Make America Sane, Humble, Trustworthy, Reverent, Honest, Humane, Generous and Fair Again. This will be difficult because you don't exhibit these qualities, but it'll be good for the country. JP
