Arizona is now a one-party state and will likely always be moving forward. From 2002 to 2008 New Mexico became a one-party state as well. Below is how New Mexico ranks after one-party control for all those years DESPITE having enormous oil resources. **New Mexico grades near the bottom on four of five factors.** Fiscal health is the exception. Ranks use 1 = best, 50 = worst. Grades roughly follow A top 10, B 11–20, C 21–30, D 31–40, F 41–50. Data are mostly 2024–2026. **1. Economy — ~#42, F (improving modestly)** Unemployment was 4.7% in Sep 2026 vs 4.1% nationally (~#42–43). Median household income was $67,816 in 2024 ACS vs $81,604 US (#43). Poverty was 16.4% vs 12.1% US (~#47). Real GDP growth was mid-pack (+2.2% in 2024). Poverty and income are moving the right way, but levels stay weak. Sources: BLS, Census ACS, BEA (all nonpartisan). **2. Education — ~#48–50, F (mixed)** NAEP 2024 put NM last (#50) on all four grade 4/8 math and reading tests. The class of 2024 graduation rate was 78.1% vs about 87% nationally (near bottom). Bachelor’s-or-higher among adults 25+ was about 32% vs 36% US (#41). Graduation and attainment are edging up; NAEP is still last. Sources: NCES/NAEP, NMPED, Census ACS (nonpartisan). **3. Health — #41, F (mixed)** America’s Health Rankings 2025 overall is #41 (United Health Foundation, nonpartisan nonprofit; weights social and clinical measures). Life expectancy was 74.5 years in 2022 (~#43). Uninsured was 10.1% in 2024 (#42). Drug overdose deaths were 37.1 per 100k in 2024 (~#46); provisional counts into 2026 have risen again even as the national trend fell. Sources: AHR, CDC (nonpartisan). **4. Safety — ~#49–50, F (improving from a bad base)** Violent crime was about 622 per 100k in 2025 (#49, second-highest). Property crime was about 2,240 per 100k (#50, highest). Homicide is among the worst few states. Both violent and property rates have fallen since 2022, but violent crime is still roughly twice the US average. Source: FBI via USAFacts (nonpartisan). **5. Fiscal health — ~#20–22, B (improving)** Rainy-day / reserves are about 25–32% of spending (~#7). Moody’s upgraded the state to **Aa1** in Jan 2026; S&P is AA. Debt is mid-pack. Pensions are the weak spot: statewide funded ratio about 71% (#45 on Equable’s FY2026 ranking). Sources: NM DFA, Moody’s/S&P, Equable, NASBO (nonpartisan). Ironically, under Trump's efforts to find and remove violent criminals, New Mexico's crime rates are finally dropping, but it's still a unsafe place and Democrats are likely to bring those people back.

I don't really have a dog in the fight on this. I don't think I would use MAID, but the rapid rise in use is unsettling. As with everything involving liberal mindsets, the program will eventually expand. The numbers tell the story and you ignore it at your own peril.

Men socialize by insulting each other, but they don't mean it. Women socialize by complementing each other, but they don't mean it. Don't believe me? Just ask @CaitlinClark22 .

Joan said the same thing...she died not too much longer afterward.

I remember when Trump won in November of 2024 and the Democrats predicted a fast and sustained drop in the stock markets. Anyone that listened to those fools and pulled out were completely left behind (deservedly so).

The latest Democrat/RINO/Boomer boogeyman is data centers. Yet, they are the heaviest users of data across communications, entertainment, academia, the medical field, research, and tech. Blue collar roofers, plumbers, plasterers, cowboys, and small farmers don’t run data all day long! The DEMs are up in arms and banning that which they created the demand for! We live in an Idiocracy!

Only 6% of Americans EVER reach the social security tax maximum at least ONCE in their entire working lifetime! Only .3% hit the social security tax max for all 35 recordable years in their working career! Whenever you start feeling down in the dumps about not keeping up with the pay of the joneses just remember these mind blowing stats! How are you doing?

We see this pattern across the country—-Camp Verde, AZ is overwhelmingly conservative and voted overwhelmingly for Trump. The town was founded and built by conservatives into such a great town that people across the country move here. Some of them, like the one you can see in the photo, hate the philosophy and the people that made the town so alluring in the first place. But, they move here like an angry swarm of locusts and try to destroy it and replace it with something Democrats like better. They are trying to change the town into something they already fled! The infestation is here and growing. @AZGOP @azdemparty

If anyone is on the fence about what party to support going into the upcoming mid-terms remember the @GOP is fighting hard to deliver economic growth & American exceptionalism, while the @TheDemocrats are doing all they can to stifle the economy. The Democrats are like termites in our walls.

The problem with Marxist Democrats is that they are never satisfied with their own pile of money.
