Easter Bunny Visiting Southwest New Mexico
2026
The Easter Bunny has been in Southwest New Mexico for the past few days. In this photograph, the Easter Bunny was greeting children on the South Lawn of The White House last year as an honored guest of President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump. The occasion was the annual White House Easter Egg Roll. (The photograph was provided courtesy of The White House, April 21, 2025.)
Nuacht Aoir has learned – exclusively – that the Easter Bunny has been in Southwest New Mexico for the past few days.
According to comments from the Easter Bunny made during an off-the-paw interview – an exclusive interview by Nuacht Aoir – many children (and children-at-heart) should have Easter baskets filled with goodies this morning. While some of the Easter baskets may be modest this year, others may be filled with food that is quite tasty.

Report On Aliens In The United States
To Be Released Today – April 1, 2026
The area around and including Groom Lake (the white-colored dry lakebed in the photograph) in Lincoln County, Nevada, has been known by other names, including “Area 51.” According to former President Barack Obama, no aliens are “…being kept in Area 51.” (The photograph was provided courtesy of the United States Geological Survey, 2026.)
Nuacht Aoir has learned – exclusively – that President Donald Trump will release the “Report of the Newcomers” later today, April 1, 2026.
Nuacht Aoir was given access – exclusively – to this report during the past month.
We can now report that it is astounding what the Federal government has withheld from the American people during the past 140 years.
Let’s step back for a moment on how we got to this momentous day.

Leprechaun International Convention
Near Reserve In Catron County
2026
A photograph of a rainbow near Reserve in Catron County prompted leaders of the leprechaun community to meet again in Southwest New Mexico. (The photograph was provided courtesy of Linnea Hendrickson, May 28, 2009.
They're back.
The leprechauns are back in Southwest New Mexico.
For the past few weeks, Nuacht Aoir has observed unusual movements across the borders of the United States. While many watch the international borders with Mexico and Canada, Nuacht Aoir has taken an active interest in watching movements in other locales.
For example, tiny ships have been seen traveling on the Brazos River. These ships were later seen seemingly abandoned near a number of railroad depots in Texas and New Mexico. It appears that the abandoned ships were placed near railroad depots to lessen the likelihood that the travelers would be followed into Southwest New Mexico.
