To the kind man who found my daughter Caitlin鈥檚 wallet at MOUNTAIN RUN and took it to a Chase Bank branch: They called her, and she was able to retrieve it and make her flight back to Baltimore. She thanks you from the bottom of her heart. May God bless you. JR

It is a joy to read, Editor-in-chief JAY NEWTON-SMALL has turned the sa国际传媒官网网页入口 into a genuine newspaper. The front page is no longer the crime news, and long articles by whiners are gone. Informative journalism is here, with local news on broad interests as the focus. Thank you. DS

How does New Mexico respond to educational institutional corruption? I guess you discourage it by allowing WNMU鈥榮 president to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on himself, get caught, then the university president receive an almost $2 million severance package, including an eight-month vacation, to let the dust settle. Nice. MK

What can be done to clean up the TRASH ALONG TRAMWAY Boulevard? The trash is unbelievable. There are pieces of plastic, paper, cans, bottles, boxes, you name it. Looks terrible. Even bags of trash that have been picked up by residents, but the full bags remain. FW

First responders, or members of government, arrested and JAILED FOR DUI, speeding or reckless driving, etc. are put on 鈥減aid leave.鈥 If found guilty, they should be required to return those 鈥減aid leave鈥 taxpayer-funded wages.

President-elect DONALD TRUMP messed up big time, and he hasn鈥檛 even been sworn in yet. Bad cabinet nominations, tariffs that won鈥檛 work, out maneuvered by Elon Musk and playing around with government shutdown. We have four years to regret this election decision. MY

From day one of incompetent President Joe Biden鈥檚 administration, his decisions have been the product of a team of EXTREME LEFT advisers. Their goal was, and still is, to destroy the U.S., aided and abetted by the legacy media. We will hopefully learn about these anti-Americans, ideally before it鈥檚 too late. JG

President-elect Donald Trump hypocrisy begins, again. DEPORT IMMIGRANTS, except those needed to work in high tech empires. Try to ban TikTok because China is spying on Americans, but now it鈥檚 OK.

While I acknowledge that former President JIMMY CARTER was an outstanding humanitarian, he was the worst president in my seven decades. I remember the events that overwhelmed it 鈥 outrageous inflation, the energy crisis, war in Afghanistan and U.S. hostages in Iran. It鈥檚 no surprise that he had only one term. AA

Writer for the Israeli publication Haaretz says the war in GAZA IS OVER and now Israel is only about killing as many Palestinians as they can get away with. CE

Americans are crushed by skyrocketing premiums, crippling MEDICAL DEBT and denial of care that devastates millions of lives.

Could someone explain the economics and ergonomics of MOVIE THEATERS installing those dreadful recliner chairs. This has ruined my once enjoyable big screen movie experience. MB

Regarding 鈥淭alk of the Town: Let鈥檚 take microplastics off the menu鈥 (Dec. 15 Sunday Journal): The writer said banning plastic shopping bags will keep MICROPLASTICS out of our bodies, but the real culprit is microwaving food in plastic containers and eating and drinking out of plastic containers. Shopping bags that end up in landfills won鈥檛 harm us. PP

Regarding 鈥淭he tamale tias who make Christmas鈥 (Dec. 25 Journal): Why does the HEALTH DEPARTMENT allow the sale of thousands of tamales from a presumably uninspected home kitchen? TBW

Regarding 鈥淭he TAMALE TIAS who make Christmas鈥 (Dec. 25 Journal): A wonderful and heartwarming story about proud New Mexicans working hard to sustain a yearly tradition.
