Hey Austin, keep your head up. You're still our champion. Go team Trout.

This is to congratulate Austin Trout on a fight well done. You never had a chance going into the fight because of Oscar De La Hoya and his WBC contacts and the judges from the WBC. In my eyes you won the fight.

To Austin Trout, I want to say that I, for one, am very proud of you. You represented Las Cruces very well. You took your loss like a true sportsman and you are a good example for the young kids of Las Cruces to follow. Better luck next time.

Garrey Carruthers will be able to do more for the university, the community and the state in two years than any of the recruits can do in five, provided they stay that long.

Garrey Carruthers was a good governor? List all the good things he did for New Mexico. Yup, I couldn't think of anything either.

We will never know if former Judge Murphy was guilty or not in regard to the felonies. Special Prosecutor Chandler settled for a watered-down misdemeanor. What a waste of money.

Who is this attorney who keeps writing op-ed pieces praising the former judge Murphy? Murphy is prevented from ever being a judge again. He was indicted on numerous felony counts. He is now a convicted criminal.

Some day the tables will turn around on Amy Orlando and Susana Martinez for their witch hunt on former judge Murphy.

I saw where Governor Martinez is considered one of the most influential people in the country.


For whom? Certainly not for the working poor she denied a wage increase, or the homosexual veterans she denied benefits that heterosexual veterans receive.

Minimum wage did not go up under Bush's reign but 800,000 jobs were lost every month. Raising the minimum wage was not the cause.

In response to last year's fires, Congressman Pearce suggested to the people of Ruidoso "100 new air tankers." So, Congressman Pearce, any update on how that is coming along? Or is it just cheap talk?

Congressman Steve Pearce attacks the Forest Service for the catastrophic fires in New Mexico, but he foolishly doesn't want to talk about the real impacts of climate change.

Michael L. Hays "assumed" a lot when he wrote his "assumptions" about our Founding Fathers. Many articles I have read stated that our Founding Fathers did not fear "We the People." They seemed more to fear a big government and therefore designed a republic in which "the People" could change the government by electing different leaders.

Michael Hays contends that the Founding Fathers feared the general population. That must be the reason they created an organization consisting of practically every able-bodied white male citizen in the country and stressed that they be armed.

I am so tired of reading the gospel according to Michael Hays, regarding the 2nd Amendment. Harbison's view on 4/18 made a whole lot more sense to me.

Any chance we can go back to displaying the U.S. weather map in place of the N.M. map?

There has never been a time in history when 91 percent of Americans supported legislation that was not even allowed to go to the floor of the Senate for a vote. They were elected to protect the people of this country, not to protect gun manufacturers' obscene profits.
