 Something about the pot bellied business owner made me wonder if he could really be  relied upon to provide security that was any better than just calling 911 for a regular police officer. Aaron T. Jones had just criticized Cops for being disassociated and not being as up to the task as his security guards at International Protective Service(IPS) Was Jones trying to say that BLM and our extremely liberal president take the gun out of police officer's holsters?  Also, how did International become part of his company's name when he is based in Albuquerque and ostensibly provides his services to only New Mexicans. He states that he provided body guard services for high profile movie stars and dignitaries from other countries. So why did he move from Los Angeles where the business seemed fairly lucrative. Also why would an ex police officer use the more derisive and condescending term COP in an underperforming less than adequate fashion??? Is the dude turning his back on for...

The fisherman you see in the Hoodie is not a crook as far as I know. He was dressed that way cuz it was windy and chilly on this Saturday at Grindstone lake and dam near Ruidoso, NM United States of America. If you look closely at the picture below, you can almost see the dam behind the angler who was using spinner bait to pull in half pound trout or maybe bass and crappie out of the BEAUTIFUL CLEAR BLUE WATER. Justin Hackler had some  negative commentary regarding lack of rule enforcement there, primarily he was upset that people were swimming in the fishing areas where there were no park rangers around to tell them not to do that! Sexy Mom Ashley N states it is nice family valued place to bring your kids. G. Eric Kaiser reported that the inflatable water features were not available for use as promoted and advertised at website, although kayaks, paddle boards, fishing, and hiking were common recreational activities he observed!!

Back in 1994, a principled gentlemen named Tornillo had the guts to state that having retarded kids in the same classrooms as normally developed students was not a good idea. The Florida Education President spoke the truth then and it is still true that the normal/regular student have their education disrupted because of the flawed notion of inclusion. The AFT in West Virginia conducted a poll that revealed 87% of the educators strongly believing that non retarded students will experience and inferior education if their classroom has to service special needs and special education students.They observed that kids with disabilities are monopolizing the time of stressed out teachers and utilizing an inordinate amount of resources to the detriment of the normal kids. Some instances of physical confrontations were reported when the parents of retarded offspring were over demanding with school staff and principal. A special education director in Roswell, New Mexico is caught right ...

The president at a community college in southeastern New Mexico is recommending a personnel change to "improve student outcomes". This change involves turning two vice presidents into a single VP which will remove one salary and expensive health care benefits from the University Budget, but REMEMBER this is all about improving completion and persistence and STUDENT OUTCOMES. It has nothing to do with the fact that more money will be freed up to increase salaries of other employees including the the high man on the totem pole. In fact, President Shawn Powell said the whole thing was planned by the employees and would not lead to the firing of any workers. In this age of work place violence, any removal of high paying positions has to be considered carefully and appropriate security measures taken when that pink slip comes. So that must mean that neither the vice president of academic affairs nor the VP of student affairs will be terminated. One of them will be wearing a n...

Incivility and disrespect abound these days in our nation's basketball arenas. The photograph you see below in such an example. A Clarendon, Texas Junior College basketball fan had been berating game officials all night whining and crying on almost every call that went against her team. I don't think former alumni William Clarence "Bill" Sarpalius would have condoned the behavior of this loud, high-heeled, disrespectful fanatic of her community college team. She literally screamed at officials and sometimes talked to the players on a first name basis almost as if she was the wife of the coach. So do abused referees have any recourse when dealing with obnoxious, immature adults who constantly yell at them during the game?  A fascinating article by Joe Haefner and Don Kelbick describes options that game officials have with regard to ejecting out of control fans from the game. High school official Jimmy Casas, from Seattle Washington, put up with horrible criticism ...

Chris Struges defends scum, like Markeda Rivera, who has spit on police officers, attempted to steal cars from Albuquerque dealership, ran over a group people in downtown area, shattered a 60 gallon aquarium, threatened a leasing agent at an apartment complex, and apparently tried to kill herself by laying down in traffic. Counselor Struges employed the feeble argument that reprobate and lowlife Rivera has never been convicted of a felony, therefore she should be presumed innocent.  Lawyer Christopher knows this is only because Duke City court and legal system  is sooooo BROKEN . Google and Apple chose not to set up shop here because of the alarming crime rate so common in liberal cities who believe in rehabilitating criminals who are incorrigible and keep killing people or driving drunk until they murder somebody with their vehicle.

I had no idea of the widespread prevalence of Gun Crafters or GunWorks in the great state of Texas until I stepped out of our vehicle at an extremely popular and HUGE roadside convenience store between San Antonio and Houston named Buc-ee's which appears to be named after a DAMN BEAVER. This ultra accommodating service center has more gas pumps than employees and more urinals than longhorn fans!!!!!  It's homemade sandwiches are better than Quiznos and very fairly priced. The vehicle you see below is a 4 by 4 Dodge truck purchased at Helfman Jeep by a Marine who happens to love guns. He advertised his Pitchford Limited Liability Corporation business on the back window of his truck. No surprise there! So what does this have to do with anything? It reminded me of an article I had read about an outfit in New York State, if I recall, called  782 Custom Gunworks LTD who specialize in custom firearms, reloading, parts and gunsmithing in general. When I lived up t...

The supreme court justices once again proved how out of touch they are with the every day operation of an abortion clinic when they ruled against the so called "buffer zones". The justices in their usual detached, unaware manner ruled based on their perception of a concept versus considering what the doctors and the women seeking abortions have to deal with! They called the 35-foot buffer zones imposed at Massachusetts abortion clinics a violation of free speech! How about the violations of the rights of women who have the choice on whether they should give birth or not? The protesters at these clinics are rarely practicing only their right to free speech. These loud-mouthed moral idealists often use not so subtle scare tactics and bullying to prevent women and physicians from doing their job. Calling that free speech is akin to calling spitting in someone's face the right to irrigate one's mouth! What many of the abortion clinic protesters are doing constitut...

With all the school shootings that have plagued our nation, let's not forget the brutal revenge type of shootings that have gone on in the work place frequently with the some type of murder-suicide pattern. There is as much bullying in the work place as there are in United States schools. I enjoy seeing a bully get what he or she deserves as their actions are disruptive and often unchecked.  This work place shooting blast from the past, pun intended, occurred in July of 2004 in Kansas City, Kansas and should remind bullies to think twice before picking on people. Everybody has a breaking point or a snap threshold. Give people their due respect and quit being domineering and arrogant or you could end up the subject of a National news piece.                   A disgruntled worker at a meatpacking  plant killed four fellow                employees and wounded three others  Friday aftern...
