SPEAK UP!

OPINION: Speak Up!

NM Republicans who cry, "We're at the bottom in the EDUCATION ratings. If you want to change this, vote Republican!" Why? Republicans have magic to change family cultures that don't prioritize school? Well, show it. And we'll show you how Republican budgetary priorities are the problem. AH

Our very own official, State of New Mexico DOT traffic cam site labels a camera location west of the "RIO GRANDE RIVER." I'm guessing the Department of Redundancy Department has been busy. LJ

Thank you to the five City Council members who voted down the absolutely ludicrous GROSS RECEIPTS TAX increase for ABQ. What a disgrace that this was proposed. Want more revenue? Stop enabling dependency and quit making it easier to get handouts than to earn a paycheck. BD

Thank you to the five City Councilors who again voted down a gross receipts tax increase. When so many residents are STRUGGLING to put food on their table and a roof over their head it is not the right time to collect even more for community enhancement projects. BV

Many of us baby boomer "ladies who lunch" would really appreciate it if local restaurants would serve SMALLER PORTIONS at smaller prices. Reduce waste and/or cost of take away containers, keep us coming in. We still tip! MB

If you don鈥檛 want bears in your campsite, don鈥檛 leave food out. If you don鈥檛 want squirrels in your yard, don鈥檛 leave food out. If you don鈥檛 want your possessions stolen, lock them up. If you don鈥檛 want HOMELESS PEOPLE, stop spending millions for them. The homeless in New Mexico are coddled. KA

The disgraced former FEMA OFFICIAL featured in the Monday Journal is a white-collar thief. It鈥檚 obvious that he used his position to game the system and enrich himself with money intended for legitimate victims of the Hermits Peak/Calf Canyon fire. Dishonest public employees must be held accountable, and their ill-gotten gains returned. AM

I wonder if the proposed MOSQUE in sa国际传媒官网网页入口 on Alameda near Second Street will have a call to prayer over loudspeakers five times a day. It's a residential area. JM

It's not surprising racism rears its ugly head regarding the North Valley mosque. RACISM is rampant in the world, spawned by the extreme right. No less so in the U.S. under the leadership of a POTUS who tries to rewrite history to exclude people of color. MY

Embarrassing to sa国际传媒官网网页入口. Despite reluctance, I watched the UFC FREEDOM 250 fights. My heart felt proud for America when veterans, military and first responders were honored. Sadly, an MMA fighter who trains in sa国际传媒官网网页入口 made an unnecessary, disgraceful comment, which under the current administration is common, about the former first lady. DD

Let me get this straight. This imbecile JOSH HOKIT goes to the humiliating UFC White House event and calls former First Lady Michelle Obama a man. And he trains here in our beautiful multicultural state? No! Jackson-Wink MMA Academy 鈥 get him out of here. CC

Regarding New Mexico鈥檚 SNAP ERROR rate increase to 16.7% (June 17 Journal): This level of benefit over payment cannot be the result of unintentional errors. At best we have gross negligence at the top administrative level. More likely, we have intentional over-payment and probable fraud. KH

We thought the current president was going to drain the SWAMP in DC, not create a swamp. MB

Don't Sarah Gorman and Ahtza Chavez (June 7 Sunday Journal) realize UNM Law School grad Deb Haaland failed the BAR EXAM several times before finally giving up? A UNM grad can't practice Indian law or any other law if they can't pass the bar exam. DEI quotas cost competence. JT

Now that Lovelace has helped avert lost insurance coverage for thousands of their patients by adopting Blue Cross Blue Shield; what is Presbyterian going to do with the thousands of patients who will need coverage because the new CEO slashed the MEDICARE ADVANTAGE PLANS? Where do we go? TR

The front page article about the APS teacher who will receive a LIVER TRANSPLANT from another teacher at Alamosa Elementary shows that there is still goodness in people. Lorin Ybarra is beautiful inside and out. Wishing both Kathleen and Lorin a speedy recovery and the best possible outcome. Keep hope alive. AH

32,000 young adult New Mexicans neither work nor go to school, according to the article in the Journal: 鈥淩eport: NM ranks low for quality of life.鈥 Could this be because of increased MARIJUANA use? Pot makes you dumb and lazy. JJ

Naturally Republicans are blaming Biden, but it was Elon Musk鈥檚 DOGE that eliminated the SCREWWORM monitoring program by defunding it. Also, about 15,000 USDA employees who would be useful were fired. None of this is Biden鈥檚 fault. JH

I don't know who is having a worse year: Alex Bregman is hitting around .250 with the CHICAGO CUBS while his father Sam Bregman is hitting around .250 with New Mexico Democratic voters. SC

There was a tarp on the KENNEDY CENTER to prevent video of Trump鈥檚 name being removed. It should remain in place for the remainder of his term as a public work of art symbolizing the shrouding of history, justice, truth, law, equity and civility by his administration. RT
