President Trump Comes to The Aid of Kenosha and Albuquerque

For those of us in positions of leadership, it is our duty to respond and to protect our people. After all, violent, lawless mobs are emboldened when good men and women stand by and do nothing. Unfortunately, in too many places, that’s exactly what’s happening. In fact, some leaders have tried to walk with the mob, proudly “standing with them.” Unsurprisingly, the mob had no appetite for the political posturing and turned them away.

This past week, I denounced the violence in these cities. The Mayor of Seattle, Jenny Durkan, didn’t appreciate the spotlight it shown on her city. Durkan took to MSNBC to say that I’m “not only wrong,” but “purposefully wrong.” Though the rhetoric sounds nice, the facts dispute it. Seattle’s murder rate has increased 44% this year. Some of that increase is directly attributable to the Capitol Hill area of her downtown that became an “autonomous zone,” with barricades erected and signs stating, “You are now leaving the USA.” Durkan seems to have forgotten that rioters in this area (called both CHOP and CHAZ) terrorized residents, demanded tribute from business owners, and generated frequent shootings.

It is the duty of leaders like Durkan to protect their people from such violence. But instead of allowing her police department to do that, Durkan proposed slashing her police department’s budget and freezing new hires. Similar stories are playing out in cities nationwide. Leaders, afraid of backlash from the mob, turn their ire on the very law enforcement officers trying to keep us safe.

The media is making the problem worse. They repeatedly refer to violent rioters as “peaceful protesters,” giving cover to the mob. Earlier this week, as Kenosha burned on camera for all to see, CNN referred to the riots there as a “fiery but mostly peaceful protest.” Last night, one block from the White House, Senator Rand Paul was violently attacked by rioters – even having a bike thrown at him. He was protected by law enforcement, because – again, unsurprisingly – they continue to do their job.

It doesn’t have to be this way, especially not in the United States of America. To those tired of living in these cities, if you want a better home to raise your children, grow your business, and live your life in peace, I encourage you to come to South Dakota. Here, we respect freedom. We breathe fresh air. And we love our country.

Yes, Jesus is not Politically Correct! I walk with no political party, I walk with JESUS! AMEN!

The Governor continues to rule over our everyday lives, so many of our freedoms are gone. When will they come back? I am still in shock that a Governor can rule over God’s Church!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The Governor has destroyed much of our economy. So many ‘so called leaders’ are silent! The New Mexico Republican Party seems to me so very weak in this time of our freedoms being taken away, this is the worst disaster in my lifetime,and all I hear is crickets from the New Mexico GOP. There are a few that have spoken out, some lawsuits but this destruction continues. Lives and dreams are being destroyed as I type this….

Just think, we live in a time where the Democratic Governor rules over GOD’S CHURCHES!!! I thank Pastor Steve Smothermon for pushing ahead with the lawsuit against the Governor. She rules over our children, our schools, our shopping, our restaurant folks, many family owned restaurants have closed and will close. She rules over visits to our loved ones in Hospitals and Nursing homes, she rules over our parks, no baseball, softball, football…etc… She is telling us to stay home Labor Day Weekend, what will happen with Thanksgiving? Christmas? Will she try to rule over Jesus’ Birthday?

I have not talked to one Republican in the last several months, NOT ONE that is happy with the leadership of the NM GOP. Whatever strategy the NM GOP is using it is not working. I would have my dear friend Couy Griffin give a call to President Trump and ask for urgent help. I would invite President Trump to New Mexico and force a meeting with the President and the Governor. I can see some shaking their heads, “That crazy Moede” that is okay, I am not her to please people, I am here to serve God and His people. I beleive President Trump would love to have the meeting. It is about time the Governor is called out!

I am weeping inside as I type this….23,000 New Mexico Restaurant workers are unemployed. I thank KOB TV for this report.

Carol Wight, CEO of the New Mexico Restaurant Association: “We just came out with the August numbers for the state and accommodation and food services has lost $382 million and that’s gross receipts by the entire industry and that’s just devastating—that’s a 31 percent loss.” KOB TV REPORT

HOW OUT OF CONTROL IS THE GOVERNOR:

House GOP Leadership calls out Governor for retaliatory eviction of PRC

 

Santa Fe, NM – House Republican Leadership recently questioned the Lujan Grisham administration about their forced eviction of the New Mexico Public Regulation Commission (PRC), and why the relocation of the PRC has not been resolved.

In March 2020, following the Governor’s attempted takeover to control the PRC (HB 11), the Lujan Grisham administration gave notice that the PRC would need to vacate their offices, located in the historic PERA office building. The Governor’s administration did not provide alternative locations, and additionally the forced government shutdown impeded the PRC finding a new office location. In the meantime, the PRC has been forced to work remotely, without an office location that they can return to. The state’s Government Services Division has changed the locks on the office and not provided access to PRC employees for equipment or other business needs.

House Republican Leaders blasted the Governor in their letter: “We are writing to express our frustration with your administration’s unwillingness or inability to locate appropriate office space for the New Mexico Public Regulation Commission (PRC). The failure to provide this constitutionally established entity with a proper location to conduct its statutory responsibilities is, frankly, incomprehensible.”

Office eviction leaves PRC homeless, without funds

From the writings of the Rev. Billy Graham IS THERE HOPE FOR OUR NATION?

Q: Is there hope for our nation — and world — for a better tomorrow and if so who should we turn to in order to find the solution our problems? — B.T.

A: Political parties, social improvements, education, world peace conferences — all of these are viewed as answers to the world’s problems, but they have all fallen short.

Why? Because mankind has fallen short of God’s standard. We have fallen short to do His will. To live in obedience to His Word as communicated in the Bible we are told: “If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land” (2 Chronicles 7:14).

This verse has been quoted so much that many miss its meaning. God’s people are those who have repented of sin and accepted Him as Savior and Lord of their lives.

A U.S. congressman once declared, “Most of our present-day troubles are due to the fact that we’ve forgotten the faith of our fathers and no longer do we, as a nation, follow in the footsteps of the Lord.”

The psalmist cried out and said, “Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord” (Psalm 33:12). This applies to the United States and any other nation who will turn to the Lord God of Heaven.

America cannot organize her way out, nor buy her way out. America must pray her way out. Who can bring us to our knees in contrition? It is the Man called the Lord Jesus Christ. Will we as individuals, and as a nation, humble ourselves before Him and submit to His perfect will? This is the only hope for America and for the world.
