SPEAK UP
OPINION: Speak Up!
Congratulations, Dr. HEIDI OVERTON, on your accomplishments in New Mexico's medical BA/MD program. But how can you stand beside RFK Jr., not a physician, ranting on his vaccine skeptic statements and support anti-abortion policies knowing that it is also maternal health care? Your politics have tainted your mind. EN
Jeff Tucker claims Democrats decided against Harold Pope simply because he's Black 鈥� even though much of his column discusses how Pope has offended his peers, party leaders and the Journal, giving the party good reason to prefer a popular candidate like STEPHANIE GARCIA RICHARD. It's merit, not racism, that compelled their choice. ST
Stop capitalizing a word or phrase in each speak up. It is distracting and I don't need you YELLING at me. Also, we are smart enough to read the whole paragraph and form our own opinions about what it is about. Don't dumb down speak up. AW
Logan Royce Beitman is a true gem for the Journal. The more I read his REVIEWS, the more impressed I am by him. His ability to see, describe, feel and relate to the reader is lyrical, poetic, powerful, magical. He gives fascinating depth and insight to the works he鈥檚 critiquing.Thank you! DSU
鈥淎bundance鈥� is an interesting choice of words. Albuquerque already has an ABUNDANCE of crime, homelessness, addiction and potholes. These problems are not scarce, and residents should not have to wait until the end of another term for meaningful action. SR
If Gregg Hull has any chance in beating Deb Haaland he has to distance himself from Trump, and do it now. He describes himself as a MODERATE REPUBLICAN, which I totally relate to, but he must be more vocal about not supporting Trump and MAGA. Otherwise he has no chance. RF
To those who serve PROUDLY on the USS Abraham Lincoln, I am sorry Trump, or Hegseth, hasn't come out to see exactly what you are experiencing. I believe a great "commander in chief" should personally thank you for a job well done in his war. DD
The recent WNBA kerfuffles do seem to be a bit rehearsed. Let's be honest, nobody really enjoys watching basketball played at the eighth- or ninth-grade level. If it's turned into a bloodsport, however, then the ladies may have a product worth watching. At least until FOOTBALL SEASON starts. EC
Delighted to see former NBA players challenging WNBA trans policies. A TRANSWOMAN is a woman, right? No pelvic exam or DNA swab needed, right? Let them dunk on the cisgenders for a few years and expose the farce of gender fluidity. JT
It says a lot about the state GOP that they oppose a temporary moratorium on data centers so that the Legislature can 鈥�SET PARAMETERS.鈥� We have enough evidence of the effects of data centers around the country to know the tremendous damage they cause to the communities they鈥檙e in. JH
Disaster! Feb. 28, the Strait of Hormuz was open, averaging 75+ ships daily. Then Trump ATTACKED IRAN. He said it would last 鈥渇our to five weeks.鈥� The strait closed, disrupting the global oil supply. Worldwide inflation. Soaring U.S. prices. Some U.S. munitions are depleted. Strait is still closed. No end in sight. Now what? EM
Could someone please explain why Deb Haaland would make a good GOVERNOR because she is a Native American? I am concerned about her running the state when she is still paying off her college student loan and never passed the bar exam. She should debate Gregg Hull. KV
The recent convictions of SHERYL WILLIAMS STAPLETON and Joseph Johnson for stealing taxpayer money, confirms that we need better oversight when it comes to public officials and our money. When the foxes are guarding the henhouse, outright theft and corruption and lack of trust are the norm. The taxpayer and voters deserve better. GH
The New Mexico Ethics Commission is either ignorant of free speech laws, or fully aware of its intent to silence speech under the guise of protecting dumb citizens from the scourge of AI-generated images. Today they require an AI DISCLAIMER ... next year they'll probably demand a satire disclaimer. What a joke! AN
I voted for Trump expecting real results: lower costs, more Americans working and a stronger economy. I鈥檓 not a Democrat, but my vote wasn鈥檛 a lifetime commitment to defend everything he does. I supported Trump for what he promised, but I鈥檓 concerned his focus on legacy is distracting from DELIVERING PROMISES. Pathetic. BD
