Fuselier: 30 Years Later, What Can We Learn From Waco?
By BOB FUSELIER
Los Alamos
Every now and then, Hollywood produces a movie or series that not only addresses a societal problem but also provides the answer as well. Such is the case with the series Waco: the Aftermath. I have to confess that I would’ve never watched the series had I not been a background actor in it. It’s nice to see what results from a project in which one has a role, no matter how small that role may be. Of course, there’s also those self-centered motivations as well: Did I mess up? Did I look ok?
Waco the Aftermath deals with both the siege by the ATF and FBI of the compound in Waco, Texas known Read More

Ready or not, the holiday season is here!
When your Thanksgiving feast is over, and you’re packaging up all the leftovers, I encourage you to not throw the turkey carcass out. There’s a wealth of nutrients left in those bones that can bring health to your home for months to come with just a little effort.
Bone broth is incredibly easy to make and is rich in minerals, amino acids, glucosamine and collagen. It is great for digestion and gives the immune system a boost.
You can use the frozen bone broth in soups and stews, gravies, and sauces. Read More
Catch Of The Week: Black Friday Scams Galore
By BECKY RUTHERFORD
For the Los Alamos Daily Post
Everyone is filling their shopping carts with deals for Black Friday … be careful that you don’t get more than you bargained for!
One of the most common scams out there is the fake order notification scam. If you receive an email asking to update your payment method or requesting any personal information regarding an “order”, contact the company directly to make sure the email is legit before you do anything else.
One of the most commonly spoofed companies is, of course, Amazon. If you have the app on your phone, just go to your account and check to see Read More
Weekly Fishing Report: Nov. 20, 2023
By GEORGE MORSE

Los Alamos Daily Post
For most of this fall season, the water released from below Abiquiu Dam has been much higher than normal. Consequently, streamflow in the Chama River below the Dam has been much higher than normal.
Water released from Abiquiu was recently cut back. Streamflows have likewise dropped dramatically in the Chama River. This should improve the fishing conditions. This section of River is well-stocked. It should provide good fishing as long as the streamflow remains low. There are some big , wild brown trout here.

Gessing: MLG’s 7 Member Environmental Improvement Board Votes To Limit Gas Cars In Mere 3-2 Vote
By PAUL GESSING
President
Rio Grande Foundation
At the Rio Grande Foundation we have written extensively about Gov. Lujan Grisham’s disdain for “democracy,” let alone a representative republic, but last night’s (Nov. 16) vote by her un-elected EIB (Environmental Improvement Board) takes the cake.
Unsurprisingly, despite overwhelming numbers of New Mexicans in opposition, the SEVEN-member Board voted on a mere 3-2 basis (in support) to mandate a drastic increase in the number of EV’s sold in New Mexico. You can find the list of all 7 members here while the vote was as follows: Bitzer and Read More
Fr. Glenn: So…It’s All About You?
By Fr. Glenn:
Selfies…selfies…selfies. Everywhere selfies. A momentary visit to any social media site will result in a bombardment of people’s pictures of themselves—often in ridiculous or compromising photos simply aimed at garnering a few (or a lot) of “likes”—a cultivation of egocentricity as never before.
It’s very dangerous, too, in many ways, and possibly not more so than in young people’s dependence on accumulating views/likes for a (false) feeling of self-worth, as if a gazillion anonymous views/likes really means anything worthwhile at all. Lots of articles refer to that dependence Read More

Is it just me or are other people annoyed that Thanksgiving gets short shrift this time of year? Because Halloween sells candy and Christmas is the busiest buying season of the year, our national day of thanks, stuck in between those two commercial seasons, gets little attention. Is it so difficult for us to show some gratitude, at least once a year?
People of faith are encouraged to thank the divine for the blessings Read More
