The dining room at Padilla’s Mexican Kitchen in Albuquerque’s Summit Park neighborhood was already in full swing by 11 a.m. on Election Day. A restaurant filled with diners an hour before noon is a feat in itself, but even more notable for a spot such as Padilla’s that’s closed on the weekends and only open between 11 a.m. and 7 p.m....

They had earned my trust because of their background, experience and personal honesty....

EDITOR'S NOTE: Here we are, another four years of Donald Trump. Some things have changed but others are the same. He apparently still has it out for journalists and the "enemies within."
