Letter to Editor on potential Commander-in-Chief Kamala Harris

Editor-
It's a little early – or late – for April Fool's jokes, but that's what looks like is happening within certain segments of the Democrat Party.
President Biden's rapidly descending popularity, brought on by his disastrous CNN televised debate with Donald Trump on June 27, 2024, suddenly elevated Vice President Kamala Harris into the limelight of a possible run for the Presidency.
The ultimate Murphy's Law conundrum: Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse, it does!
Letter to Editor on Bayard Library situation

The letter that Sonya Dixon, Bayard librarian, submitted to every one of the Bayard council members and Clerk/Treasurer Martha Salas on June 27, 2024, is attached at the bottom of the page.
Before the letter are her comments about what she experienced during the June 24th regular Bayard Council meeting:
Conveniently, there seems to be no recording of the events that took place once I exited the building. I was barred from returning inside by the police chief. I was told by Mayor Ojinaga that I would not have access to my file cabinet, folders or documents inside of the library. I left and came back with my keys. I didn't need them, it seemed, and needed them off of my person lest I be accused of something.
Letter to Editor on "President Joe"

President Joe wants to grant another 500,000 non-residents permanent residency. Guess he figures after allowing entrance to an estimated ten million undocumented migrants – not counting over a million "got-aways" – why not permit a half-million of them amnesty?
We'll get around to the other 9.5 million later. More people than the combined populations of Arizona and New Mexico. After all, it takes a while to process the paperwork.
Surprise -- Hunter's "Laptop from Hell" Is Real!

Wow, after several years of denial and ignoring the contents of Hunter Biden's infamous "Laptop from Hell" computer, his recent trial on firearms violations revealed that information within the laptop was real.
Hunter was found guilty of falsifying a firearms application by denying he was a narcotics user when purchasing the handgun.
Evidence contained in the computer clearly showed otherwise. For some inexplicable reason, Hunter often videoed his drug induced antics – and other bizarre behavior – and stored the information in his laptop.
The Debates Are On! Maybe.

Yeah, I know, the highly hyped Presidential Debates are anticipated to begin in June. Woo-Hooo!
Don't expect a Super Bowl sized viewing crowd.
Why? For several reasons.
There will be no live audience. The "debate" is being held in a CNN studio with only two moderators, two contestants, and a camera guy, because Joe said big crowds can become distracting.
Letter to Editor about editorial posted from Paul Gessing

Letter to the editor by Peter Burrows
Paul Gessing's article posted first on Sunday in the Grant County Beat, "New Mexico Betting on Losers," brought back a lot of memories. One of New Mexico's biggest losing bets Paul mentioned was Spaceport America, an idea first broached almost 20 tears ago. After an investment which probably exceeds $500 million after carrying costs, it now looks to be on its last legs.
It was a hot topic back then. British billionaire Richard Branson, who owned Virgin Airways, wanted to build a space tourism business flying customers into suborbital flight using a new aircraft developed by famed engineer Burt Rutan.
Dear Editor: Rubbing It In Our Face

"We are all born ignorant, but one must work hard to remain stupid." – Benjamin Franklin

President Biden is rubbing it in our face.
According to an article in U.S. News & World Report, April 26, 2024, the appointment of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas as the head of a new safety board to advise and protect us from the dangers of Artificial Intelligence, AI, would be laughable – if it wasn't so idiotic!
Remember, this is the same dude who tells us nearly every day "The border is secure."
Letter to Editor on Cancers and Roundup weed killing

When I first moved into my property in Grant County, I noticed something odd. There was no grass and no weeds at all on all this gravel yard; a completely barren lot front and back, with a residence in between. That is unnatural. I instinctively know that Mother Nature does not do that.
Now, from the second year on and my living here? There is grass all over my yard, front and back. And lots of weeds here and there. I don't mind that because that is Nature's Way. This tells us that the former owner, actually tenants, had sprayed herbicide on this ground – RoundUp -- like so many lazy, uninformed, and people of low IQs all across the nation.
