I can just imagine what it's like down in that area. A few months before we moved, we took a trip down to the southern part of the state and saw a lot of sketchy-looking Mexicans who clearly were not native to NM. I hope your brother can escape eventually.
I agree. MLG is as corrupt as they come and allows the state to fall deeper and deeper into crime and the worst aspects of liberalism. Hollywood elites flock to the state for the artistic clout (think Taos), but the regular people suffer under these policies. Tim Keller, one of the worst mayors in the US, lets Albuquerque sink deeper and deeper into crime, poverty, and desperation. Grocery stores are folding up all over the city. Certain parts of town have nowhere to shop anymore because no store can survive the crime and the drugs. We got out during C19. We couldn't take it anymore. NM had some of the strictest C19 policies, but no one talked about them because, well, no one talks about NM. There's a lot I miss about NM, but when I look at stories like this, I know we made the right decision.
There's a reason why Epstein owned a ranch near Santa Fe. I imagine our old governor Bill Richardson might have been one of his good buddies.
I lived in Albuquerque for a long time. I left because of the rampant crime, often random and violent like this, but it's happening everywhere more and more. (And before anyone says "deport him," most people in New Mexico are Hispanic and have been there for generations.) This issue will only continue to get worse with technology raising kids, and parents not paying attention and not raising their children to have basic compassion for others. These kids have no guidance, no structure, no spiritual or religious instruction. They have no souls. It WILL get worse. Be careful out there.
It happens all the time. I've been to department stores to shop for something, then come home and get ads for that item on my Roku TV. Everything is linked. All your accounts. Your phone tells them where you go and what you might be shopping for. Nothing is private anymore.
I'm 45, and everyone I knew listened to Howard or watched his E! show when I was in high school because it was so edgy and raunchy. We snuck into the theater to see his movie when I was a junior, and I was just a girl. Guys idolized him. Listening to him or watching his show was just a way to rebel. He was huge back then. His OJ coverage, his Selena comments, and his 9/11 show were all legendary radio, like it or not. I also liked that he could laugh at his nerdy Jewish upbringing and had a sense of humor about himself.
But that all changed in the mid-2000s when he got divorced, ditched his family, married a model, and went to satellite radio. That's when he transitioned into Hamptons Howie and became a mega-liberal shill. His edgy humor turned into straight up vomit. In recent clips I've heard, all he talks about is trannies, semen, and gay sex. He didn't leave the house for two years because he was afraid of C19 and wished death upon anyone who wouldn't get the vax. He claims he goes to psychotherapy daily on top of all that. The guy has major issues. 1990s Stern would have supported Trump all the way, no doubt about it, but I'm happy to see Hamptons Howie go down in irrelevancy, the worst thing that could happen to a narcissist like him.
The colleague I mentioned is in her mid-50s and is a cancer survivor. She had cancer years before getting the vax, but I guess her health could be compromised a bit. She's mentioned that she was never completely normal again after the cancer treatment.
This warms my heart. I did some digging earlier this week into my English and Irish heritage, and have felt a pull across the pond. I wish our UK brethren the best as they defeat the tyranny over there. Never stop fighting!
Same thing happened to an extremely liberal colleague at the school where I worked last year. She was all about getting her boosters and staying on top of all her shots. She belittled people who didn't. I never told her I don't get vaccines, of course. She started getting waves of extremely high blood pressure, like 200/100 and readings around that number. She almost passed out during class a few times. She would get blurry vision and have trouble focusing her eyes. I had to walk her to the nurse more than once. At the end of the school year, she had an appointment with a cardiologist and had to get a bunch of workups done. I don't know what they ended up finding, but she was struggling. She blamed it on the stress, and last school year was pretty bad for all of us, but it seemed like something else was going on.
I never considered the vax to be her problem, but it very well could be.
One of my greatest childhood memories is going to see Hulk Hogan at the arena and sitting in the third row. It was deafeningly loud in there. When Hulk ripped off his shirt and tossed it to the crowd, my dad caught it. It was covered in oil. My brother has the shirt now. It's in tatters, but it was Hulk's! Say your prayers. Eat your vitamins. Be true to yourself. Be true to your country. Be a real American. God bless you, Hulk.
Yep, exactly. I don't know where ours are coming from, exactly, but I'm noticing an increase. And they can't drive. They're dangerous. In both of the accidents I saw, a truck was flipped over, and five or six Mexican-looking guys were standing there sheepishly looking around. They should not be here, clogging up and endangering our roads. Most don't get insurance.
I have mixed feelings on Sharon as she definitely comes off as a controlling harpy, but he obviously loved her, and they talked about leaving the world together if it came down to it. I'm sure she's devastated today.
