New Mexico lacks of Christian behavior as does all of America. All these issues that I write about today tie right into the decline of Biblical principles.

I tell you I get anxiety traveling in Albuquerque. So many rude drivers. So many cars and trucks running red lights. Speeding on city streets, some at over 80 miles an hour, drag racing is a huge problem here. No care for others. Tailgaters, the honking of horns to speed up, passing cars on city streets, it is a very unruly city for sure. When we travel out of town and get close to getting back home to Albuquerque, the rage starts about 20 miles outside the city. Zoom, zoom! Awful! Law and order is about absent here.

Albuquerque has become a very selfish city, no respect for others.

Quality of life in New Mexico continues to go to hell. Sin is sin. Juvenile crime here has skyrocketed.

The influence of the Church here is decreasing as it is in all of America.

Albuquerque is known as the abortion Capital of America. Abortions are increasing here at a record pace. So many from Texas are coming here to abort their baby.

SHAME! Abortions in New Mexico have surged by over 250% since 2022. 14,000 Texans came to NM for an abortion in 2023

Albuquerque is a sick city. New Mexico is a sick state. The mainstream press is trying to put lip stick on a pig, but a pig is a pig. The killing God’s babies and the blood of those babies are on all of our hands that live in this state. Don’t be a fool.

New Mexico does not obey God.
