I hope UNM finally learns not to hire big dollar BASKETBALL coaches. We are a stepping stone. Save your money and hire a reasonable person with ties to the state and no ego. The minute they taste success, they leave us holding the empty money bag. LC
Congratulations, UNM! ERIC OLEN鈥橲 strategic expertise and commitment will energize UNM basketball, building on his UC San Diego success, including a 30-5 season and NCAA debut. SR
To all the dedicated FEDERAL EMPLOYEES unjustly dismissed by a dangerously clueless billionaire: Your service to our nation is invaluable. We, the people, thank you for your exemplary dedication to keeping our beloved country safe, secure and prosperous. AM
When it comes to the work of DOGE, two troubling points stand out. The first, is why is the world incensed by the idea of saving our government? We were on a path of complete financial destruction. Second, why did our own elected officials not do this before now? GH
Federal government FRAUD: Not honoring signed contracts with farmers. Abuse: Letting food intended for starving children rot in warehouses. Inefficiency: Illegally firing federal employees randomly, without regard for their skills, performance or taxpayers鈥� needs, then being required to rehire them. LM
There is a cap of $170,000 every year on the amount people are taxed for SOCIAL SECURITY. Think of the amount of money there would be in the Social Security trust fund if Elon Musk paid 6.2% SS tax on everything he earns. CM
In December, Presbyterian MEDICARE INSURANCE informed me that it would no longer cover my Novolog insulin. I called, and was told that they wouldn鈥檛 name a replacement. My doctor talked to three people who wouldn鈥檛 tell him either. Next week, I start using my dog鈥檚 insulin. JB
It is reported that ROBERT F. KENNEDY JR. is expected to lay off the entire office of infectious disease and HIV/AIDS policy. This is exactly the sort of thing he claimed he would not do during his confirmation hearing. He should never have been confirmed. He should be removed. EJG
Regarding 鈥淔ox鈥檚 Bret Baier Pushes Back On Elon Musk 鈥楾raitor鈥� Attack Against Mark Kelly: 鈥楬e鈥檚 A Decorated Veteran鈥欌�� (Mar. 28 Mediaite): Surely the unelected BILLIONAIRE illegal immigrant from a bigoted family knows what鈥檚 best for America. BF
President Trump鈥檚 DELETION OF DEI as the basis for removal of Navajo Code Talkers from museums and Tuskegee Airmen and his attack on universities with DEI policies is an excuse for blatant racism. These people were honored for their service to our country in World War II; eliminated by a draft dodger. EN
Fire bombing of political party HQ in New Mexico. Seriously? Welcome to the THIRD WORLD where oppression of views is not tolerated by the leftist mob. Wait a minute ... Republicans were supposed to ruin democracy for this country according to the Democrats who have moved us so far left. Wake up people. TS
Capitol rioters PARDONED for their alleged patriotism of supporting President Trump, the $1.8 billion campaign donator pardoned as he was supposedly convicted because he supported Trump. I鈥檓 hoping I鈥檒l get my next speeding ticket violation pardoned if I keep one of those 鈥業 support Trump鈥� stickers on my car. DD
I totally agree with Republican Party Chairwoman Amy Barela that 鈥淭hose who resort to violence undermine our state and nation must be held accountable.鈥� Maybe she should remind the president of that since he recklessly and shamefully pardoned all the convicted violent criminals of the JANUARY 6 insurrection. BR
Saturday, a Democratic crowd is urged to 鈥渁gitate.鈥� Sunday, REPUBLICAN HEADQUARTERS in Albuquerque have hate words spay painted on the walls and the building is set afire. Coincidence? TBW
If the New Mexico Legislature were to enact numerous CRIME bills it would not have a significant impact so long as we continue to have inadequate behavioral health care, an above average number of dysfunctional families, easy access to guns and a culture of violence. WT
The Annual Accountability (or lack thereof) REPORT CARDS are pathetic. This is an insult to our children and the future of our state. Any proficiency score below 75% should be considered a failure of the school and state responsibility to our citizens. RJB
Guy with a Trump hat complains he gets criticized. He鈥檚 free to wear whatever he wants. In this divisive environment, MAGA and Trump-themed clothes can be viewed as 鈥渋n your face.鈥� Wearers should expect the clothes they鈥檝e chosen may inspire FREE SPEECH comments. FS
Devastating fires, disastrous storms, lost careers, demolished homes, evanescent dreams ... so the president broadens TARIFFS and muses over a third term. What a guy. MB
Replying to a reporter鈥檚 question about the incredible lapse of security during a SIGNAL GROUP CHAT President Trump said 鈥淚 don鈥檛 know anything about it.鈥� Really? He鈥檚 not included in planning the bombing of another country? Why is he president? Was he busy golfing that day? CKT
HILLARY CLINTON blasts President Trump鈥檚 administration as dumb for the recent, accidental leak, but when she was U.S. Secretary of State, she sent 100 emails that should have been 鈥淐lassified,鈥� 65 emails that were 鈥淪ecret,鈥� 22 鈥淭op Secret,鈥� and 2,093 emails retroactively designated 鈥淐onfidential,鈥� from her private email, instead of from federal. DC
I was just in Anchorage, Alaska, where it still snowed heavily yet their city BUSES were clean, punctual, with no noticeable skipped routes, and no observed unfit passengers. As soon as I returned here I experienced a cancelled route, a late and filthy bus and drug activity at the stop. BV
