Some more dollars may be flowing toward the Eastern New Mexico Rural Water System, with a $1.978 million federal allocation in President Obama's 2013 budget. That money makes $2.978 million in commitments to the pipeline project, which would deliver water from the Ute Reservoir in Quay County to entities that make up the Eastern New Mexico Water Utility Authority. The Bureau of Reclamation announced last week $1 million for the project, also known as the Ute Water Project. Gayla Brumfield, mayor of Clovis and chair of the...

It was the Wildcats' 22nd c...

Don't be gay. Accept and pay for abortion. Do it my way, or suffer consequences. This isn't a debate, it's a demand for action. Our country was founded to carve out freedom, expand it within American borders and defend it to the death. We ended slavery, prohibition and gave women the right to vote. Yet, we've become a culture of intellectual intolerance — a place where agendas are imposed by bullies and government force. The week has provided three examples, two of bullies and one of force: - Comedienne Ellen DeGeneres has a...

It was predictable that President Barack Obama would pander again to entitlement sentiments. This time involves the misguided belief that everyone is entitled to homeownership, even at the government's — the taxpayers' — expense. But the president's audacity is a bit much to take, even for an election year. Obama wants to effectively bail out borrowers who owe more than their homes are worth by having taxpayers assume the risk of borrowers defaulting. This is the same president who this week promised to end bailouts, eve...

The Hounds (12-8, 5-6 LSC), who improved to 7-1 at home, wen...
