Santa Fe New Mexican

The Santa Fe New Mexican is a daily publication based in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Founded in 1849, it holds the title of the oldest daily newspaper west of the Mississippi River. However, some argue that the St. Joseph Missouri News Press Gazette, which has origins dating back to 1845, may claim that title as St. Joseph, Missouri, is located west of the Mississippi.

Even if you don’t follow The Kiffness’ work, you may still have seen one or more of his videos online, like the one The Kiffness (whose real name is David Scott) collaborated on, from South Africa, in early March 2022 with Andriy Khlyvnyuk, the leader of the Ukrainian band BoomBox (Бумбокс). It was one of Scott’s most socially (and politically) engaged works and he released it March 4, a little more than a week after Russia invaded Ukraine.

Bush, who proclaimed it a national holiday in 2001.

Small schools, big problems? There is nothing quite like watching the state cross-country championships, a sea of running humanity exploding from the starting line to determine the best individuals and teams in each classification.

Howie Morales this week will either become the fourth Democrat running for governor or shift his attention to pursuing the presidency of a state university. The sitting two-term lieutenant governor, Morales said he was not inclined to enter the gubernatorial race until he received an outpouring of encouragement. "The calls coming in really made me second-guess the way I was leaning," he said Tuesday. Morales will meet with advisers and announce his decision this week. I will be surprised if he runs.
