New Mexico lacks of Christian behavior as does all of America. All these issues that I write about today tie right into the decline of Biblical principles.

I tell you I get anxiety traveling in Albuquerque. So many rude drivers. So many cars and trucks running red lights. Speeding on city streets, some at over 80 miles an hour, drag racing is a huge problem here. No care for others. Tailgaters, the honking of horns to speed up, passing cars on city streets, it is a very unruly city for sure. When we travel out of town and get close to getting back home to Albuquerque, the rage starts about 20 miles outside the city. Zoom, zoom! Awful! Law and order is about absent here.  Albuquerque has become a very selfish city, no respect for others. Interstate 25 reopens after deadly crash in Albuquerque.

Quality of life in New Mexico continues to go to hell. Sin is sin. Juvenile crime here has skyrocketed. Man accused of posting speeding videos, teasing law enforcement released from jail.  ‘They are the drivers of crime in our community’: BCSO speaks on teen crime. Many children are not growing up in Christian homes. George Barna: “People have become more selfish, churches have become less influential, pastors have become less Bible-centric.” The influence of the Church here is decreasing as it is in all of America. 46% Of U.S. Adults Now Unchurched.

Albuquerque is known as the abortion Capital of America. Abortions are increasing here at a record pace. So many from Texas are coming here to abort their baby. SHAME! Abortions in New Mexico have surged by over 250% since 2022. 14,000 Texans came to NM for an abortion in 2023. A sick city. A sick state. The PR people try to put lip stick on a pig, but a pig is a pig. Killing God’s babies, the blood of those babies are on all of our hands that live in this state. Don’t be a fool.

New Mexico does not obey God.

FGGAM just received this news release:

A new study reveals the states with the most and least road rage in America.

The study, conducted by H&P Law, a personal injury law firm in Las Vegas and Clark County, analyzed data from all 50 states on six key factors, including firearm incidents, aggressive driving accidents, and speeding violations, to determine which states have the most and least road rage.

  • America’s Road Rage Capitals: Louisiana tops the list with a score of 90, followed by New Mexico (89.4) and Montana (88.7).

  • Southern Hotspots: Four of the top 10 states for confrontational drivers are in the South: Louisiana, Arkansas, Florida, and Tennessee.

  • Speeding vs. Aggression: Montana ranks 3rd overall but has a low speeding violation rate of 0.5 per 100,000 residents.

  • Firearm Incidents: New Mexico leads with 5.5 firearm-related road rage incidents per 100,000 residents, while New Jersey has the lowest at 0.3.

Expert Commentary:

According to a spokesperson at H&P Law, “Understanding the prevalence of road rage in different states helps us address the root causes and work towards making our roads safer for everyone. Road rage is a serious threat to public safety and a significant factor in many personal injury cases. To protect yourself, stay calm and avoid engaging with aggressive drivers. Always report dangerous driving behaviors to authorities and ensure you have proper insurance coverage in case of an incident.”
