New Mexico is one of the most beautiful places I've ever been in my life. For years, I hoped to retire to either there or Arizona and just soak up the beauty.

ELECTION INTEGRITY: Fulton County told the Georgia State Election Board it does not dispute 315,000 early votes in 2020 were illegally counted giving Biden the win.
