    If the GOPNM is anything resembling competent and principled in 2020, Torres-Small will be looking for other employment on 3 January 2021, just as Harry Teague was also privatized on 3 Jan 2010.

    The 2nd District is basically a Republican safe seat, just as the 3rd District is a Democrat safe seat — the last Republican to hold the 3rd was Bill Redmond from May, 1997 to 3 Jan 1999.

    Albuquerque Journal

    ART is ready to start. The beleaguered Albuquerque Rapid Transit project will begin running Saturday, Nov. 30, city officials announced Friday.

    So there are some who don’t appreciate the DingleBerry Express?

    I’m shocked, I tell you, shocked!

    I propose that Trump simply take the next step in support of the Space Force (the naysayers might call it “Starfleet,” like they tried to smear Reagan’s missile-defense ideas as “Star Wars”) by offering honorary commissions of the rank of Captain (O-6, like the Navy does) to American actors who have previously played spacecraft captains on TV or in the movies. Like some states offer the honorary rank of “Colonel” to distinguished citizens.

    A partial list follows:

    Harrison Ford
    Nathan Fillion
    William Shatner
    Avery Brooks
    Kate Mulgrew
    Scott Bakula
    Kevin Sorbo

    Total disarmament of the civilian population isn’t the immediate plan, at least in the Anglosphere.

    What they really want is something like the UK at present, where your relatives or whoever has the house fifty years from now finds your stashed guns and is scared out of their minds of being caught by the cops with “unauthorized” firearms that they rush to turn them over to the cops as soon as possible.
