It was a busy opinion weekend for New Mexico’s eco-left as they continue working to destroy jobs and bury one of the most vital industries in the state. Three separate opinion pieces over the weekend shared the same theme when it comes to oil and natural gas in New Mexico: Our energy industry is an “addiction” and it’s time we “turn the page” for New Mexico’s economy. The most eye-popping suggestion comes for Albuquerque Democrat Senator Jerry Ortiz y Pino who suggested the state simply stop putting oil and gas revenue into the budget. Keep in mind he still wants…

It’s no secret New Mexico is facing a massive budget deficit that will force the Legislature into a special session sometime in June. However, it looks like the priorities of the eco-left aren’t on the chopping block. The state Economic Development Department put out a public notice earlier this week letting everyone know they have money to spare. The state is looking for local governments or non-profits to apply for the new “Outdoor Equity Fund.” Taxpayer-funded awards between $1,500 and $15,000 will go to applicants who find the best way to teach children about “climate change and the environment as…

The eco-left tried to raise New Mexico’s gas tax during a budget surplus, will they push for it even harder now because the state faces a massive deficit? You might recall just last February when eco-left advocates took to the legislature to support a bill increasing New Mexico’s gas tax from 17 cents to 47 cents per gallon. Pushers of the tax tried to pretend there were particle reasons for the increase, but the young eco-left supporters didn’t hide the real reason: they want a higher gas tax in order to fight climate change. Thankfully, the proposal was soundly defeated…

With New Mexico’s primary election already underway, political fights are to be expected. However, it’s important to see the eco-left running on a platform built of hypocrisy. The radical environmentalists have targeted several Democrat members of the New Mexico State Senate in the upcoming primary by putting forth more “progressive” candidates. Also proving once again he’ll do anything to please the eco-left,  U.S. Senator Martin Heinrich even endorsed against members of his own party in the same races. Now the same groups are crying crocodile tears over oil companies legally spending money to offer support to the incumbent Democrats. And…

The Joe Biden Campaign was proud to roll out a list of more than 40 New Mexico Democrats who waited until he was the presumptive nominee to endorse his candidacy. However, there’s one question none of them have answered: Why do they support a candidate who wants to further destroy New Mexico’s economy? During the final Biden-Sanders debate, the former Vice President was working hard to flash his green agenda cred when he told the world: “Number one, no more subsidies for fossil fuel industry,” Biden said at the debate. “No more drilling on federal lands. No more drilling, including…

If the eco-left gets so angry about corporate giveaways, how do they feel about New Mexico’s taxpayers footing the bill for electric vehicle charging stations? The New Mexico Environment Department was all-too-proud of their Earth Day announcement to use settlement money from Volkswagen to help buy a whopping 116 new electric vehicle charging stations. Nearly $2.7 million, the maximum amount allowed, from the settlement will go toward the effort to allow electric vehicle owners new locations to “fill up.” One question: Since New Mexico’s taxpayers are already paying for these new charging stations, will the electricity be free? If the…

Congresswoman Xochitl Torres Small was forced to recognize economic reality earlier this week. On Tuesday, Socialist Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio Cortez sent out a tweet celebrating crashing oil prices and completely tone-deaf to the economic devastation being caused across the country, including New Mexico. AOC eventually deleted the ignorant remarks, but the action still offered insight into her radical agenda. During the ensuing media storm, New Mexico Congresswoman was forced to issue a statement condemning AOC’s remarks. Telling the Washington Free Beacon: “A champion for the working class should be a champion for all workers,” Torres Small said in a statement…

Apparently, when you’re facing an unprecedented economic crisis and still collecting a taxpayer-funded paycheck, name-calling is the solution. That’s the case in New Mexico as the Communications Director for Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham took to social media to respond to anyone who questions Santa Fe’s decisions. In response to New Mexicans who are suffering from record unemployment, spokesman Tripp Stelnicki had this to say: These comments came while over 100,000 New Mexicans, including the state’s energy workers, have filed for unemployment and are literally brought to tears trying to seek help from Santa Fe. Take note, if you dare question…

Ask any New Mexican what trait they want in a real leader and I doubt “indecisive” would make the list. Yet, that’s what we’re seeing from Congresswoman Xocthitl Torres Small. As New Mexico’s elected leaders continue to flood to presumptive Democratic Nominee Joe Biden with endorsements, Torres Small would have us believe she doesn’t really support the former Vice President. She’s told the public “we still have several months to focus on the election.” The reason is simple. Torres Small represents one of the most energy-rich areas of the country, and Joe Biden is clear about his intentions to destroy…
