The Next Lt. Governor
My name is Ant Thornton, and I’m running to become the next Lieutenant Governor of our beautiful state.
I’m running because the corruption in Michelle Lujan Grisham’s administration is out of control.
I’ve spent my life working as an aerospace engineer — but I don’t think you have to be a rocket scientist to see that Democratic policies have failed and wrecked our state.

I have lived in the East Mountains of Bernalillo County since 2005. Our access to internet is limited because the cable companies won’t come out this far and the telecoms might give us DSL access at best. I’m sick and tired of poor internet service and connectivity, so I decided to bite the proverbial bullet and ordered Starlink to the rescue.
Well my satellite dish arrived today, and I couldn’t wait to unpack it and test it out before I actually install it permanently. So I unboxed it, made a few connections, took it outside, downloaded the app and I had it up and running within 15 minutes!
Here are the results:
Starlink Initial Results
Avg Downloads: 147.2 MPS
Avg Uploads: 10.23 MPS
Century Link:
Avg Downloads: 8.37 MPS
Avg Uploads: 2.33 MPS
Starlink Downloads:
17.5 x faster
Starlink Uploads:
4.4 x faster
Monthly costs… the same.
OMG, it’s amazing. Now I can untether myself from DirecTV and CenturyLink and simply subscribe to streaming services which I’m already using.
Bye- bye CenturyLink, hello Elon Musk! ... See MoreSee Less

We bought one for our 5th wheel. I have to have communication wherever I go. Used it last weekend and now I’m considering using it at the house. I love it!
Love mine!!
had one ordered 2 years ago and 3 months before it was supposed to ship I discovered TWN and its blazing fast. But Yeah good connectivity is a challenge
I’ve used Starlink RV version for a year. It’s amazing in the most remote campgrounds where we previously couldn’t get any cell service much less internet or television. When we aren’t traveling, the service can be paused and we aren’t billed for the months we aren’t using it. Go Elon!
We absolutely love our Starlink. Before, our internet provider didn’t offer any unlimited packages. We had to buy gigs. We didn’t have any choice. We only had one provider in our area. We were never ever able to stream a movie, watch Netflix, etc. I cringed every time company asked for the wi-fi password because it was going to eat up the little bit of service we had. We bought our Starlink last year and like you, within minutes, we had amazing, fast and reliable internet. Strong, steady and without any buffering 🤗 I’m now a Netflix junkie 😂🤣 My husband’s business contracts send in a flash. And……in the winter, it heats up and melts off the snow and ice to maintain great service. We are beyond happy with it
I bit the bullet and bought it last summer because we didn’t even have cell service now I can use Starlink to make calls and internet in one. Very pleased with service.
I’m so happy for you. We got away from Century link a couple of years ago. Comcast finally decided that they could run a line the 100 yards to the house.
Thx for sharing Ant. We are in the same predicament. We are gonna try them in Gallup.
Just ordered mine and will set it up on Roam. Xfinity has been so unreliable. But with Roam I can take it with me and use it on my RV
Good to know, we were considering looking into it.
Thanks for the info.
We need to do this too. We have Terrible service with CenturyLink in Placitas.
We love our Starlink!! Thank you Elon Musk!
Starlink is expensive to get. I get close to those speeds with Comcast for less.
We did the same in rural Los Lunas!
House hunted in east mountains 3 years ago. Ended up in deep South valley with 1 Gig speed. Internet was non-negotiable due to work.
We have it at our cabin and it’s been life changing! We had 6’ of standing snow this winter and the heater on it didn’t skip a beat. Enjoy!
For edgewood it shows monthly is about 100$ more than century link. I'm sure it's wayyyyy faster, but 120 a month is pretty nuts.
Looks like I'm going to check out Elon's satellites. Thank you.
Been there done that. No regrets.
That sounds about right.
Love Starlink
I have it as well and its awesome
I have had ours since around Oct and love it
With the same monthly cost? Wow.

They cannot admit that the answer is NO to both. Fear of being cancelled or ostracized.

If it’s socially acceptable for people to identify as a different gender, would the same logic apply to choosing a different race? Aldo asks students at UCLA…Comment on Facebook
It appears the executives at Target Incorporated did not receive the memo after Budweiser messed up with their transgender marketing scheme. Target is “targeting” our children with the transgender ideology and propaganda while promoting “pride”. Even the LBG community wants to separate themselves from the QTIA community which is promoting this grooming and sexualization of children.
The only way to stop this madness is to hit them where it hurts. Target 🎯 needs to be boycotted until they remove these “woke” executives from their positions and products from their shelves. Our children will NOT be fodder for their woke agenda. We are not helpless… our wallets can speak loud and clear… keep your hands off our kids! ... See MoreSee Less

I no longer shop Target!
Stopped shopping there when they started allowing men in women's restrooms years ago.
We have heard a lot about the latest Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems being released into the world for use by the common man. So I wanted to test the ChatGPT system for bias in the algorithms. I asked it a simple question twice, and only changed one word.
This simple test is all you need to know that AI is NOT programmed to be neutral, it will be used as another means to spread progressive propaganda if we leave it to the Big Tech folks to write the algorithms.
USER BEWARE…

Last week while in Ruidoso, I was introduced to Charles Pettitt and his wife Lupe. Charles is the author of the book “Our Moral Compass is Broken.” He freely offered me his book which I accepted. It’s a quick read (I completed it in 3 days), where it describes the rapid moral decay of our society, especially over the last 60 years. As many of you already know, we are in a spiritual battle between good and evil… it’s a battle we cannot win politically until we have a spiritual revival in our land. He outlines a solution that requires Christian believers to utilize the technologies of social media to spread the good word of the gospel. Spread the message and allow the Holy Spirit to do the heavy lifting by changing the hearts and minds of the nonbelievers.
I recommend you read it and share it with others. Then go to the Bible and admit God into your life to solve your daily challenges. ... See MoreSee Less

Sounds like a great book! Our world needs Jesus! Thanks Ant for spreading the word!
Ant Thornton for Lt Governor Well said!! Highly recommend the show FlashPoint, it’s on the Victory Channel, Rumble, etc on Tuesday and Thursday. Great show that discusses this and the need to stand up, push back but also to be a light. Revival is here…..
The Ten Commandments is the foundation 💪 of America 🙏 and moral compass.
I’ll have to check that book out.

Yep things have changed. My mom made me strong and self reliant... I tried to raise mine the same way.
I did not always get a lunch just be careful and home before dark
Or “If you fall off that and break your leg, don’t come running to me!”
Yep 💯
Let’s do a thought exercise? What if Conservatives were as aggressive as Progressive Marxists in forcing their agenda on the general populace. If we were like them, this is what we could do…
We would create sanctuary cities limiting abortion (e.g, Edgewood, NM) AND allocate $10M of taxpayer dollars in each major city to support CareNet pregnancy centers that support life.
We would pass legislation that would require every home in America to have a “free” firearm in the house (at taxpayer expense) as part of enforcing the 2nd Amendment. If you aren’t willing to protect yourself or your family, why should law enforcement be required to respond to your emergency calls.
We should pass legislation that would require voting using paper ballots only signed by the voter with the only mail-in ballots allowed would be for absentee voters.
There would not be a voting season, simply a national holiday for Voting Day that would end at 7 pm on the 2nd Tuesday of November for statewide and federal elections. Manual counting by precinct… sent directly to the County Clerk which is verified and forwarded to the SoS. No Dominion machines required.
We would create tax incentives to help people to buy gasoline powered vehicles as that is the fuel of choice for 94% of the citizens who purchase new transportation vehicles. We would restrict the exploitation of children in China and Africa by disallowing the import of rare earths and minerals used in electric vehicle batteries and solar cells.
We would exploit the education system and require Bible Study as a requirement to understand the foundation of our Constitutional Republic. We would include courses on capitalism, entrepreneurship, and finance from 9th grade through graduation.
We would support legislation that would pay for an armed security guard at every public school in the state to protect our children.
We would pass legislation that would make it illegal for teachers and administrators to discuss gender affirming physical mutilations to children under 18 at school, under penalty of fines and imprisonment.
We would demonstrate how equity is NOT equality of opportunity. Equity implies equal outcomes, regardless of effort. As an example, assume 5 individuals were timed in the 100 meter dash. The fastest ran it in 10 secs, the next fastest was 11 seconds, and so on… to the slowest running in 14 seconds.
To ensure “equity”, when we race all of them together… the slowest gets a 4 second head start, the next slowest gets a 3 second head start, and the fastest starts at the bang of the starter’s pistol. The end result is that they will tie at the end of the race. So what’s the point of the competition… there is none, the results will always be the same… so there is no incentive for any of the athletes to work harder. This is why socialism fails, there is no reward for individual effort when the spoils of one’s effort are equally distributed.
As a border state, NM would enforce the sovereignty of its borders by completing a wall or physical barrier, including the use of technology sensors, and assisting CBP and ICE agents with national guard troops across its 180 mile border with Mexico. All illegals captured or detained would be immediately deported via airplane to their country of origin and dropped off. That might deter further illegal immigration and it’s a lot cheaper than putting them under our social welfare programs.
What else would you like to see if we imposed our agenda and behaved like Progressives? ... See MoreSee Less

All school districts would have those of us who are against the cirruculum proposed by the PED who are willing to stand up and object to it being put into schools.....especially at the K through 8 levels when our children are the most vulnerable and confused. It is up to the parents and grandparents to make sure this is done.
My question is: why AREN'T conservatives this forceful? Why can't this happen NOW?! It frustrates me. That which we allow, continues. I'd also like to add: Should be a federal law that no one holding public office can sit on a corporate board, hold any corporate stock while in an elected position or take campaign money from lobbyists or corporations (only citizens within their constituency area), elected officials must live in the state they are elected to (if you move, you forfeit the office), and no one running for public office can have been an activist within the last 10 years. Just enacting that one set of "rules" would eliminate a lot of the BS. No foreign businesspeople donating to campaigns. No one on the FDA or CDC making policy designed to fatten their own wallets. No Heinrichs thinking that they can run for our offices but not live in the state. No legislator or leader taking direction from their pet projects.
The reason conservatives are not forceful and aggressive is because we wouldn't be conservatives. Our foundations are personal responsibility, accountability, and equal opportunity that is worked for and not expected to be given.
The first time I watched “what is equity”…it scared me to the core. I also watched UC Berkeley law professor in congressional hearing stated “not only cis women can get pregnant”. What has occurred to this nation’s education system is a crime… Yuri Bezmenov was right all along…
Mr Ant Thornton, let’s do this! Less government. More fiscal responsibility for budgets. Enforcement of laws on the books so our leaders don’t keep throwing money at new laws that are not enforced or beneficial to our democracy. Back to basics for education. Reading, writing, math. Maintain high standards and goals for our students to attain self confidence and success. Bring God and country back into the conversation
Sounds like a pretty good start.
Love it Ant
💯

Mr. Thornton, we were hoping you’d become our Lt. Governor. I hope you’ll run next time as the governor.
