We thank all those who organized, helped execute, and attended the peaceful, highly successful Los Alamos “No Kings 3.0” Rally. It’s difficult to influence the Trump regime, but if we stand up to be counted, we can together exert significant Read More

Antos: An Open Letter To The No Kings Protestors In Los Alamos

By GERALD M. ANTOS

This letter is to all you No Kings protesters.

I admire your zeal, but it really seems as though something is missing. Maybe it’s just the fact that your protesting seems to be like a prize fighter trying to fight the wind or someone’s shadow! 

I’m sorry to be the one to tell you this, but you are not winning any fans as your protests are just too childish to be believed!

That’s my opinion and I’m sticking to it! Read More

Robinson: Lawmaker Wants His Secession Threat To Open Dialogue

Texas has always wanted more of New Mexico.

Before New Mexico could join the United States as a territory, Congress had to settle a boundary dispute. Texas claimed all of New Mexico east of the Rio Grande, even though it had never fought for or held any of it. In the historic Compromise of 1850, Congress placed the New Mexico-Texas boundary along the 103rd meridian and agreed to pay Texas $10 million for its “loss.”

Then in 1859 a surveying mistake gave Texas a 310-mile strip, 601,152 acres, that belonged to New Mexico. When the mistake Read More

Op-Ed: Ethical Rules Apply To Judges And Judicial Candidates In New Mexico

by

By Karl Reifsteck
Director
Administrative Office of the Courts 

The founders of our nation viewed a fair, impartial, and independent judiciary as a cornerstone for the government they envisioned 250 years ago when breaking free from the British monarchy. The founders wanted judges who followed the rule of law rather than the King’s commands.

Under our nation’s foundational principles, judges today decide legal disputes based on the law and the facts of a case. In doing that, judges must set aside their personal views and remain unwaveringly focused on the law. The requirement for fairness Read More

Duplicate Bridge In Los Alamos: March 26, 2026

by

BRIDGE News:

Ann-Marie Graves and Mary Courtright were Monday winners in flight A. Neill Goltz and Harry Dewey were high in Flight B. 

On Wednesday, Steve Kemic and Jennifer Young were 1st in Flight A, while Bobby Haynes and Norm Worth were 1st in Flight B.

Here is another very competitive hand.  Both sides should be in the auction.  It pays to be bold, especially with the E/W hands.

Board 6 from the March 26 game:  East is the dealer and E/W are vulnerable.

After East passes, South may well open 1♥.  West will overcall 2♦, and North will raise to 2♥.   East should now bid 2♠, which will end the auction unless Read More

McQuiston: The Parts Of Your Policy That Matter More Than Your Monthly Price

Most people shop insurance the same way they shop a subscription.
“What’s the monthly cost?”
It feels logical.
But it’s often the least important part of the decision.
 
What’s Actually Going On
Two policies can have nearly the same price…and completely different levels of protection.
The difference isn’t obvious unless you know where to look.
The parts that matter most:
  • Liability limits – what protects your savings and income if you’re responsible for damage
  • Deductibles – what you pay out of pocket before coverage kicks

Weekly Fishing Report: March 30, 2026

The State Game and Fish Department was stocking trout all across the state last week. The Winter Stocking Program in Southern New Mexico is still being done and more locations in Northern New Mexico are being stocked now.  The Winter Stocking will end in March. 

The Department stocked a total of 33,520 rainbow trout weighing 14,054 pounds.  

It looks like there will be one of the weakest spring runoffs in memory this year. The snowpack is already disappearing, and the weather has been unseasonably warm and dry. This is reflected in streamflow Read More

Migrant Bus & Workers: Thousands of Mexicans are bused across the border into Yuma County to work in the crops. The workers have visas for temporary foreign agricultural workers and are legal workers on the farms. The workers are bused back across the border every day after work. Shown is a typical white bus used to transport workers to the crop sites. Thousands of seasonal workers also Read More

Fr. Glenn: Passionate

by

By Fr. Glenn Jones:

So, we come this weekend (March 29 this year) to Passion, or “Palm”, Sunday … the latter name referring to the branches placed on the road as the Israelites celebrated the entry of Jesus into Jerusalem. While that passage of the Gospel opens the day’s Catholic Mass, it hardly speaks to the whole of the day’s remembrance. Rather, in the Gospel of the day’s Mass and of other denominations’ observances, we have one of the longest, most poignant, and most moving excerpts of our year: the account of Jesus’ sacrifice of Himself—the Last Supper, the agony in the Garden, His arrest, false Read More

Tales Of Our Times: Jointly Reported Facts Are Mightier Than ‘Bipartisan’

Jointly Reported Facts Are Mightier Than ‘Bipartisan’ 

We live in times of zealous palaver about being “bipartisan” and “working together.” Exactly what these words include is unclear. In times past, New Mexico Citizens for Clean Air & Water pursued ideas of our own that might qualify. Our goal was simpler and mightier than “bipartisan” or “working together.” We found mutual ways of telling missing parts of the whole story.

Over time, we learned that industry is no different from the cross section in every activity.
