Professor Nader Hashemi
SFCIR News:
Following the recent missile strike in Syria, and the new chill with Russia, is President Trump’s foreign policy in the Middle East taking shape? What will the administration’s policy toward ISIS be? Toward Syrian refugees? Toward Assad?
The Santa Fe Council on International (SFCIR) invites the community to hear Professor Nader Hashemi share his insights Thursday on evolving US foreign policy considerations.
Professor Hashemi is director of the Center for Middle East Studies at the Korbel School of International Studies, University Read More
Letter To The Editor: Will Los Alamos Remain ‘Home Of The Brave’?
By TERRY GOLDMANAs I was an authorized immigrant to and am now a citizen of the United States, you might think that, having followed the legal requirements, I would not be supportive of all refugees and immigrants, whatever their status. Nothing could be further from the truth. Although I did not leave Canada out of fear or persecution, I did learn some relevant history there that most Americans are not likely to have encountered.
The two main early European waves of immigrants to North America were from England and France, but they were of completely different characters. Most of those Read More

New Mexico Gov. Susana MartinezLetter To The Editor: In support Of Rec Bond
By TOMMY OLDHAMMy name is Tommy and I am a seventh grader at Los Alamos Middle School. I support the Los Alamos Recreation Bond fully. I am involved in the Los Alamos Hockey Association and Los Alamos Youth Lacrosse League. These are only two organizations out of a whole bunch of others that could benefit from the bond passing.
There are a lot of projects on the bond, one of them is a Recreation Center, which would include gym space, a track and an indoor ice rink. Yes, we do have an ice rink, but some of the time we are unable to use it when we need to. For example, rain is horrible to the Read More

U.S. SENATE News:Udall On Trump Refusal To Release Visitor Logs
U.S. Sen. Tom Udall
From the Office of U.S. Sen. Tom Udall:
WASHINGTON, D.C. — U.S. Sen. Tom Udall released the following statement Friday on the Trump administration’s decision that it will not release White House visitor logs, breaking with the pro-transparency precedent set by the Obama administration.
“This stunning decision from the Trump White House raises an obvious question: what is President Trump trying to hide? Once again, this administration is stonewalling information that Congress and the American people have a right to see. Americans simply deserve to know who has access Read More

Letter To The Editor: Recreation Bond Thoughts
By Resident of Los Alamos
My property taxes have doubled for my half duplex in the past seven years. At the current rate of increase they double again in 10 years. My retired years will be funded by personal investments, social security, and not a pension fund.
I am speaking in behalf of all who live in town who will not have a pension fund and live off of social security. With the increase of our water rates, sewer rates and current bonds that the County will never retire, I am against a new recreational bond.
There are several large buildings in town that are empty. We have places for teens and seniors that Read More
Letter To The Editor: Resolution On Immigration An Example Of ‘Virtue Signaling’ …
By CHALRES KOOSHIANThe letter submitted by Councilors David Izraelevitz and Chris Chandler, “Continuing The Conversation On Treatment of Immigrants and Refugees” (link) is an anodyne statement that we can all subscribe to, as is the resolution by Councilor Pete Sheehey. However, I would like to offer a point of view that hasn’t been expressed.
The resolution is simply an example of the phenomenon referred to as “virtue signaling.” This occurs when an individual, group, or organization attempts to project an image of how wonderful, moral, law-abiding, caring, compassionate, Read More

Letter To The Editor: Continuing The Conversation On Treatment Of Immigrants And Refugees
By David Izraelevitz and Chris ChandlerOp-ed: Vetoes Raise Concerns
By Rep. Stephanie Garcia RichardThis week I had planned to provide my next installment of post legislative wrap up, however recent events have prompted a change in topic.
This past legislative session, amidst ever shrinking revenue forecasts and mounting needs in the state budget, legislators—House and Senate, Democrat and Republican—decided to take action by crafting a budget with no additional cuts and an accompanying revenue package that raised $350 million in new dollars for the state with such targeted, moderate revenue increases as: Read More
Letter To The Editor: Syria
By DOUG REILLYLetter To The Editor: Respect, Justice And Compassion Is The American Way
By KATE GARDUNO-KINGTreating all people with respect, justice and compassion seems like something we can all agree on, doesn’t it? I was surprised to find this statement being treated as controversial as I watched the April 4 County Council meeting.
Councilor Pete Sheehey proposed a resolution stating that “we support and observe the fundamental American value that all people, including immigrants and refugees, should be treated with respect, justice and compassion.” This sounds simple enough. And yet citizens were commenting that “illegal aliens” (their words) shouldn’t Read More
