Month: June 2025

As first responders came under fire yesterday in Idaho, I was thinking about David Burgert, the alleged militia mastermind who shot at Missoula County Deputies near Lolo, then disappeared into the woods never to be heard from again. Thanks to some other pieces of information I’ve become privy to, my working theory now is that David Burgert was actually shot and killed that day in 2011, the Sheriff’s Office KNOWS he’s dead, and they’ve covering up what actually happened that day because a villain at-large is a better story for them, and gets more positive media traction, than a dead suspect story where you have to explain exactly HOW the suspect became dead.

If I had to speculate on which Sheriff Deputy has the capacity to kill Burgert, then convince the rest of his fellow badges to help him cover it up, it’s Sheriff Deputy Tony Rio, the man who allegedly heard a gunshot that day in the woods. Here’s Rio telling that story as he “leads” the investigation into this “cold case”.

Rio said Harris speculated on whether Burgert might still be alive, but Rio has his own suspicions,

“That day, I was at the top of the mountain and we were waiting for reinforcements to get there, and I did hear one gunshot, and it was definitely a pistol shot,” Rio said. “Harris said some think that Burgert escaped to a compound in northwest Montana or north Idaho. We just talked about different theories as to why neither Burgert, nor his body, has ever been found.”

Well, Rio, MY theory is that you shot David Burgert like you shot a bank robber in 2009, just two years before the shootout with Burgert. Unfortunately, when you shot Peter Thompson in the face and allegedly took the money he stole, Peter did a very annoying thing: he didn’t die.

For the official story, here’s a summary from the FBI website:

On January 12, 2009, at approximately 10:18 a.m., THOMPSON entered the Missoula Federal Credit Union in Missoula, pointed a rifle at the ceiling, fired one shot, and shouted, “Get down.” THOMPSON then walked behind the teller counter and ordered the tellers to empty the cash drawers. The tellers gave THOMPSON approximately $11,245.50. THOMPSON walked out from behind the counter and said something along the lines of, “Call the cops and do what you need to do. Have a nice day.”

Just moments after the robbery occurred, a witness observed THOMPSON wearing a ski mask in the driver’s seat of a older model blue Mazda pickup truck in the K-Mart parking lot adjacent to the Missoula Federal Credit Union. THOMPSON pulled off his ski mask and the witness suspected that he had just robbed the credit union. The witness followed THOMPSON for a few minutes and obtained a partial license plate number.

A Missoula County Sheriff’s deputy located THOMPSON’S blue Mazda pickup and attempted to effect a traffic stop. THOMPSON sped off at a high rate of speed, but ran off the road in the 9900 block of Upper Miller Creek Road. The deputy got out of his car with a rifle and heard a gunshot from inside THOMPSON’S truck. The deputy fired three shots toward THOMPSON’S truck. THOMPSON was then taken into custody and received emergency medical attention for a gunshot wound to his face. Money stolen by THOMPSON during the robbery was recovered from his pickup.

While Rio isn’t named in this summary, my recent conversation with the bank robber himself gave me HIS side of the story and, considering what I learned last summer about Rio’s Lincoln County retirement raising and hunting wolves, I’m more inclined to believe the bank robber than I am the Sheriff Deputy shuffled around Montana because of his itchy trigger finger.

Back in 2014 the future Sheriff of Missoula, T.J. McDermott, was busy milking the Burgert story for national media (CNN) and speculating the David fucked men and wore dresses. When leads came in from the national attention, McDermott feigned excitement that NOW maybe something would materialize.

“It was pretty exciting to be there,” said Johnson, who was at the Maryland center with co-worker TJ McDermott, also a detective for Missoula County. “We had 16 tips about David Burgert and only one of them was local – the rest came from several different states.”

Of the calls that came in, at least six were “very interesting” and offered the opportunity to review surveillance videos to confirm Burgert’s identity and location, Johnson said.

“We definitely got some exciting stuff that was very helpful to the investigation and our detective units will get hard at it first thing Monday morning,” he said. “If Burgert is out there, and he is watching, we want him to know that people did call in and that several of the callers said they were 80 percent to 100 percent certain they saw him.”

…

The episode also included an interview with McDermott, who provided some possible clues to Burgert’s whereabouts. Burgert is known to frequent medical clinics for heart and stomach problems, he said. He has also been known to seek out homosexual companionship, and may be dressed as a woman. While he may still be in Montana, Burgert also has ties to Washington, Ohio, Florida, Georgia and Canada.

“Let’s take this dangerous guy off the streets,” John Walsh, host of “America’s Most Wanted,” urged viewers.

See how COOL it is to be a local badge when national media starts paying attention? For T.J., who aspired to be Sheriff, then Mayor, he got lots of beneficial political mileage from promoting the idea that Burgert was still at-large and that his fellow badges were competent good guys.

One of the NOT good guys T.J. McDermott employed as Sheriff, Lowell Hochhalter, is STILL acting as Chaplain for the Missoula County Sheriff’s Office while allegedly “helping” victims of human trafficking with his “non-profit”, the LifeGuard Group.

The link above takes you to my article from March, 2024, when I thought legacy media’s coverage of Lowell’s non-profit work would lead to his exposure as a Christian con-man. Unfortunately that didn’t happen, so today I’ll share some additional details I learned about Lowell Hochhalter by talking to his brother.

According to Lowell’s brother, the FBI warned T.J. McDermott about his Chaplain, but T.J. ignored those warnings. What kind of man is Lowell, according to his brother? He’s the kind of man who took financial advantage of his own parents and, after his father died, Lowell had to be stopped from taking his mother out of assisted living in Billings. Apparently there is an Adult Protective Services case that was opened up when Lowell’s behavior threatened the physical health of his own mother.

Lowell and his crew of gullible Christians got their moment in the spotlight thanks to another human who went missing and has never been found, Jermain Charlo. The lead Detective in that case, Guy Baker, is the local badge I have spent the most time looking into and writing about, especially after I covered the two week murder trial of Charles Covey, the homeless man convicted of murdering another homeless man on November 20th, 2020.

Watching this trial gave me a clearer picture of how jail-house snitches are utilized, and it raised questions for me about Baker’s proximity (and possibly complicity) in addressing criminal gang activity in Western Montana. When I spoke to the public defenders on the case, they were as concerned as I was about the obvious implication that more people than just Charles Covey were involved in Lee Nelson’s murder, considering there were TWO types of head-wounds on Lee’s skull that, according to Baker, were made by the same blunt weapon.

The use of informants is a pretty standard part of police work, but it can be tricky. Colton Peterson, for example, was coerced into becoming an informant and the result was that he committed suicide, a lethal act his parents blamed on Missoula PD.

In quick succession in the week before his death, Peterson was assaulted by two men after reportedly brandishing a gun to collect a drug debt, was busted for growing pot, recruited as a confidential informant, and pressured to provide a list of other growers’ names by 5 p.m. on July 27.

He didn’t make the deadline.

At about 3:30 p.m., he shot himself.

The article goes on to pitch Crisis Intervention Training as a solution, but I don’t think that works when you have DIRTY COPS. Here’s more from the article:

Police say Peterson got on the wrong side of the law in July working as a medical marijuana caregiver. He was licensed by the state to grow six marijuana plants for a single patient, and six plants for himself, but a tip to law enforcement from an informant allegedly revealed a larger grow operation at his apartment.

That tip led to a raid on July 26 and an eventual agreement between Peterson and detectives on Missoula’s High-Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas task force – he would work as a “cooperative defendant,” gathering string on potentially more serious drug dealers in the area, and in exchange police would tell prosecutors he had cooperated with the investigation.

Was Guy Baker one of the detectives on this case? I’m not sure, but I had an opportunity recently to speak with an informant who didn’t commit suicide and this informant told me some VERY interesting details about what law enforcement was doing to ostensibly catch the “bad guys” in this town.

This informant explained that he was dealing drugs for the cops and the money he got fronted came from his official status as a paid informant through the High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area mentioned in the article above. The product (heroin at the time) would be kept in trailers parked behind the Walmart on Mullan, and they used a motel on Broadway to operate out of. When a bad batch of heroin led to a bunch of overdose deaths, this informant was told to switch to meth instead.

When I asked this former informant about Detective Baker his reply was that “Baker thinks he’s God,” and “can make people disappear”. Should I write about this publicly, I thought to myself at the time. At first I said no, but thanks to my strategy of echo-location shit-talking, two recent perspectives on Baker helped change my mind.

The first story was a personal account from a woman about getting groped by Baker when she was a teenager. The reason she reacted so strongly when I brought up his name in our conversation, she explained, was because she had seen him recently driving around in his black Escalade and she made a mental note that his license plates were IDAHO instead of Montana, which she thought was odd.

The second story came from the man testing my pee. After telling me the institutional frustration of Missoula Correctional Services seeing 95% of their clients piss dirty with zero repercussions from court, he told me how Detective Baker was giving them a training once and his gut feeling was “this guy is too close to the bad stuff and it turned him”. Interesting, I thought.

Then, last night, Idaho burst into the headlines when an arsonist apparently set a fire in Coeur’d’Alene in order to lure and execute first responders, which he successfully did twice before supposedly turning the gun on himself, ending his life. Wasn’t it just last weekend that I was writing about smokejumpers and the CIA? And, a few weeks before that, it was the PayPal Mafia summit at Paws Up Ranch.

For additional context I made the bold assertion back in February that the CIA owns Montana, and I’ve also written about what happens when you send your badges to Israel for police training, so I’ll wrap up this post with a curious data point regarding the Idaho Sheriff responsible for the geography where this attack took place.

While it’s too early to tell what the official story on this attack will be, I think my 2024 article, titled White Supremacist Story Time, might be worth checking out.

Ok, that’s all for now. Thanks for reading!

How did an intoxicated man with concealed weapons gain access to the stage on June 14th during the NO KINGS protest?

Though I haven’t found footage yet of Christopher disrupting the protest, I have gained a better understanding of what happened that day, including how local police handled the situation. Unfortunately all my info comes from community members because the Public Information Officer, Whitney Bennett, refused to respond to my email.

After Christopher got escorted by police off stage he went across the river and scrawled his feelings on the wall by Betty’s Divine. Here’s the shot of what Christopher wrote before it was pained over by a paid worker from the Business Improvement District:

The man from the Business Improvement District, according to one of the two business owners I spoke to for this article, thinks Christopher is a White Supremacist and also had some choice words for law enforcement. It appears that Christopher has made quite a name for himself in this community, and the frustration his antics have inspired was palpable on Saturday.

I was under the impression that law enforcement never made contact with Christopher but, thanks to my conversations with people who work on the Hip Strip, I discovered that was inaccurate. A coffee slinger at Bernice’s Bakery told me she saw LOTS of cops responding to Christopher as she left a movie at the Roxy. The cops were giving everyone eating at the tables outside Gilded quite a show, since Christopher was armed with multiple knives, which were laid out on the sidewalk for the witness to see as she walked by.

With this knowledge I was able to find the charges Christopher is now facing. Here’s the screenshot from the jail roster:

For more context on Christopher, he’s been in Missoula for 4 years, he lives in subsidized housing, and the cops know who he is. How did I find this out? I recorded a six minute conversation with Christopher before the cops showed up in force to arrest him and published my brief interview with him in this post. Here’s the video:

Christopher–already a poor peasant–will now be even poorer with his new charge of criminal mischief and the money our system will attempt to extract from him. Why couldn’t one of our “helping” programs assist Christopher as he clearly is crying for help? Where was the Homeless Outreach Team, or the Crisis Intervention Team, or the Mobile Mental Health Unit? Why do all these programs get money when all we see in this community is the situation with addiction and poverty getting worse and worse?

Yesterday, as I was going to work to wash dishes, I saw dozens of cops standing around. Curious, I stopped and asked a neighbor what was going on. “They’re doing a training,” he said. I then explained my work as a citizen journalist and the corruption I was investigating within local law enforcement, especially the Missoula County Sheriff’s Office. “I don’t feel safer,” the man said about all the cops doing their “training” across the street.

I sent another email to Whitney Bennett and got one of the most worthless responses I’ve ever gotten from a “information” officer. Here’s the worthless email thread:

Did I get specifics? No, I got a reply that Whitney will be out of the office until some time in July. Your taxpayer dollars at work, Missoula!

Speaking of useless information, did you know homeless people deal with the cops more than your average Joe? It’s true, and a recent report confirmed what any thinking person already understands.

Using data from jail booking records, Missoula’s Homeless Management Information System, interviews with service providers and interviews with people who were unhoused, the three present a variety of interesting takeaways. 

For one, they found that homelessness in Missoula results in frequent police interactions and engagement in criminalized behaviors, especially for people living unsheltered. (Homeless can mean people have unstable housing or non-permanent housing, but unsheltered means people surviving outdoors.)

Amazing takeaway! What’s next, will our retarded city study where it gets hot during the summer?

A study this summer aims to track high temperatures across the City of Missoula and other nearby towns in search of more data on heat waves and to identify area “hot spots” that officials can mitigate in the future.

Missoula County, the City of Missoula and Climate Smart Missoula are coordinating with a museum and National Weather Service employees to conduct the study with citizen volunteers between mid-July and early August.

If you want to identify where the most idiotic hot air emanates from, these climate-tards should set up a censor inside Council chambers because I know there’s LOTS of heated breath that gets expelled, especially on Mondays when the virtue signalers are CHAMPIONING addicts instead of mocking them like they did on June 14th.

If I wasn’t legally obligated to remain in Missoula I would be seriously considering an exit strategy because, as I detail week after week, this town is only getting dumber.

Is Missoula County Sheriff, Jeremiah Petersen, an Iranian sleeper cell agent? Is that why he’s been so quiet since running un-opposed for the job of Missoula County Sheriff?

When the Los Angeles County Sheriff directed its collective heart-felt feelings toward Iran, loyalties were suddenly in question. Thankfully, the Sheriff in LA did the right thing by retroactively self-censoring itself because, you know, war.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department on Sunday deleted and apologized for a post on X that expressed sympathy for “the victims and families impacted” after American strikes on three Iranian nuclear targets this weekend.

The Sheriff’s Department removed the line from similar posts on Facebook and Instagram, saying in the edited posts that “Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department is closely monitoring the situation overseas alongside our local, state, and federal partners.”

In the original post, according to a screenshot by the local TV news station KTLA, the department said “Our hearts go out to the victims and the families impacted by the recent bombings in Iran.”

What about YOU, Jeremiah? Are you “closely monitoring” the Iranian situation while your office quickly and competently processes the dead body of another women this town briefly pretended to care about before moving on to the next shiny object?

Authorities have identified human remains that were found on May 18 in the Upper Rattlesnake area.

Missoula County Sheriff Jeremiah Petersen says the remains found were those of 42-year-old Nicole Heimer of Missoula.

Heimer was reported missing on April 22, and her vehicle was seen at the Sawmill Gulch trailhead.

How could our Sheriff potentially aid and abed Iran’s clear desire to obliterate the world with a nuclear holocaust, which has been an imminent reality for a few decades now? Could he put eyes on the tech-bros as they convened in relative isolation in Peter Thiel’s “timber fortress” at Paws Up north of Missoula?

While I did my best to report how global events may be getting shaped in our own backyard, maybe I should have used the term TIMBER FORTRESS, like this dude did in his reporting.

Under the shadow of the Bitterroot Mountains in Montana, far from the Capitol’s chaos and cable news drones, Elon Musk descended upon Peter Thiel’s secretive annual Symposium. Fresh from his spectacular political divorce with Donald Trump, Musk arrived embattled but undeterred, already plotting his next move. As his aircraft touched down, Musk’s thoughts drifted briefly to his father’s ranch—early mornings filled with the crisp scent of jacarandas, a world now lost to him.

Trump had yanked Jared Isaacman, Musk’s close ally and would-be NASA chief, from contention, effectively severing their uneasy partnership. Musk had felt the betrayal sharply, the wound deeper than politics or pride. In retaliation, he had launched a media and backchannel barrage that caught Trump off guard, shaking the foundations of their tech-populist alliance.

The fallout was swift. Liberals loathed him. MAGA turned on him. Tesla sales cratered. And The Underground Hyperloop, Musk’s techno-mythical tale of escape from white genocide to planetary salvation, seemed destined never to see print.

Yet Musk was far from empty-handed. He held the crown jewel of 21st-century cyber-power: a Starlink mesh network deeply embedded in the infrastructure of every significant U.S. federal agency—including the White House itself. Installed by DOGE under the guise of national security, the system had been green-lit by the Trump administration despite stark warnings from internal cybersecurity experts. Musk had foreseen this day when political tides would turn and Putin would remain desperate due to Trump’s failure to fix Ukraine for him, leaving only one viable global customer.

Inside Thiel’s luxurious timber fortress at Paws Up, lit softly by a roaring fire, the conversation shifted subtly from revenge toward strategy. Palantir, Thiel’s surveillance colossus, had navigated federal corridors through traditional maneuvers: contracts, subtle favors, and carefully measured threats. Yet Musk’s Starlink had bypassed that meticulous dance entirely. It was already within.

“The data,” Thiel murmured, swirling a crystalline glass of Wyoming whiskey, “are leverage incarnate. Xi understands leverage better than Washington ever will.”

Musk nodded silently, shadows of exhaustion tracing his features. He had arrived in Montana burdened by doubts, but now clarity and renewed ambition began to sharpen within him.

No, spying on tech-bros is more the territory of Mossad, or perhaps my new CIA pal, Mr. Nobody. What I think our Sheriff would be better suited for is NOT investigating all the suspicious deaths that keep happening because he knows those deaths are people being targeted, hunted, and killed for a variety of reasons, but mostly sport. I’m sure there’s money to be made on the revenue from the dark-web livestream, though.

Do you get a cut of that money, Jeremiah? Maybe if I break the case the CIA will hire me and I can finally stop washing dishes for an hourly wage. Until then, I’ll be vigorously auditioning and encoring any wayward youth that the only answer for them now is to prepare to die for our ZOG!

Thanks for reading.

When Tom and his “handler” went on a walk Saturday they encountered Missoula’s Pride parade. While they didn’t see themselves as a gay couple, the cat-calls they got emphasized what Missoula was singularly focused on, and it was NOT the presence of smokejumpers who may or may not have been recruited by the CIA.

Here’s a picture of me and Tom, a former smokejumper who told me that he was definitely one of the smokejumpers recruited by the CIA.

While Tom was wearing an Air America hat, his handler was wearing a figurative cloak of anonymity, since he referred to himself as “nobody” and declined to be pictured. When I described my style as a citizen journalist and explained how I spoke to the famous medical examiner, Cyril Wecht, through sheer annoying persistence, Mr. Nobody chuckled and said “You are pretty annoying, aren’t you?”

“Yes,” I confirmed, “I’m insufferable”.

One of my hopes for this weekend was to get a CIA agent to sign my book about Jerry Daniels, the Hmong, and the CIA, titled Hog’s Exit, written by Gayle Morrison. Instead, I learned from the CIA couple that Gayle would be on campus later that day to discuss her book in person. Wow, I thought to myself, how that’s something I have to attend, and I did. I even met Gayle Morrison before her presentation and she was kind enough to sign her book for me.

It was nice to be thinking more historically this weekend as Donald Trump proved his REAL fealty is to Israel first, while many in his political base proved they are a-historical retards who don’t understand Iran is the way it is because America engaged in regime change efforts all the way back in the early 50’s in order to protect British oil interests in the region.

It’s weird to see so many alleged AMERICA FIRST voices turn themselves into pretzels for Israel, a nation most discerning thinkers understand give zero fucks about ANY kind of killing as long as it furthers the psychotic Zionist agenda. USS Liberty? JFK? 9/11? If you don’t understand how insane and bloodthirsty Israel is, look up the Sampson Option.

As a hyper-localist who suspects strange alliances will be crucial for future survival, both political parties in this country can go fuck themselves. The same goes for the majority of assholes in the alt-media echo-chamber who think they are doing something important and noble by recording people talking for podcasts. How many of these talkers selling dick pills and nutritional supplements know the name of their Sheriff? Few, would be my guess.

What’s next for World War III and the political schizophrenics now tasked with cognitively updating their skull-software in order to stay on the good side of Dear Leader? I don’t know, but if you’re lucky, I’ll keep sharing my valuable insights for YOU, dear reader, at no cost to your shrinking pocket book.

You’re welcome.

When you help expose the abuses of a local tax mechanism are you obligated to never use it for yourself? If Tax Increment Financing is just a tool, like a hammer, does a principled critic of dumb hammer users imply the hammer itself should never be used by the critic? And, with all the people now using this metaphorical hammer, wouldn’t the behavior of someone who developed hammer-using policies be a little more newsworthy than a single project?

These are just SOME of the questions I had bouncing around in my noggin after reading not ONE article about Adam Hertz using Tax Increment Financing, but TWO whole articles, one from the Missoulian’s David Erickson, and the other from Martin “Gomer” Kidston, the former Montana Democrat spokesperson who now pretends he’s a news reporter.

While Marty didn’t expose his real reason for highlighting Hertz’s use of TIF by throwing shade on his past criticism, Davey definitely DID. Here’s the reason the article was written by the Missoulian:

Hertz, a former member of Missoula City Council and a former state lawmaker, was often vocally critical of certain aspects of Tax Increment Financing when he was on council. One argument he often made was disputing the city’s position that lots of development wouldn’t have happened in the city’s Urban Renewal District’s without TIF.

Hertz, in the past, has argued that the Stockman Bank building in downtown Missoula and expansions at Southgate Mall would have happened anyway, and those projects didn’t need to be incentivized with TIF funds.

“The problem is I don’t believe TIF was necessary to make those things happen,” Hertz said in a debate with former mayor John Engen in 2020. “It’s a big subsidy that takes money from schools and government in order to subsidize a development that would have existed anyway. They got what I consider a corporate handout.”

When you take TIF there’s an unspoken expectation: if you don’t like how the piggy bank gets passed around like a sorority girl at a frat house, shut your fucking face about it. When businesses like Bretz RV broke this unspoken rule, and tried to do something about it, politically, they got PLENTY of media scrutiny, which my article from April of 2023 documented at the time.

Here’s a portion of the Missoulian article that hammered businesses for funding a political mailer supporting candidates who did NOT support the piggy bank politics of the Missoula Redevelopment Agency, or Missoula’s shadow government, which is how I refer to MRA and its function in this town.

Some funders of a divisive political mailer supporting Missoula City Council candidates opposed to the use of tax increment financing have received hundreds of thousands of dollars in TIF funds for their business projects.

The group, a political action committee, or PAC, called Missoulians for Missoula, sent campaign mailers Monday supporting conservative candidates who have all voiced opposition to tax increment financing.

The mailer at the time was seen as an unusual move in a municipal election, which Lee Banville explained later in the article.

Lee Banville, author of “Covering American Politics in the 21st Century: An Encyclopedia of News Media Titans, Trends, and Controversies” and a University of Montana journalism professor, said these types of divisive mailers are rare in municipal elections.

“We haven’t really seen this going on in city elections in Montana. If you go to a bigger place, the higher the stakes or the bigger the election, the more money in the elections, you’ll see more outside groups come in, but this is pretty unusual for a city election of this size,” Banville said.

“More now, people aren’t saying, ‘I disagree with you on a policy,’ it’s more, ‘I don’t like you,’ he said. “The politics have become more strident, and the fact that it gets down into your city ward races is pretty striking.”

Sorry, Lee, but I don’t think it’s a matter of who is liked and who is disliked, unless you’re talking about the media hating conservatives, because THAT is what I’m seeing in the scrutiny directed at Adam Hertz for ONE project, while Ellie Boldman continues to enjoy media scarcity as she commits crimes (DUI conviction) and resigns from ANOTHER non-profit director job.

Thanks to the media’s framing of Tax Increment Financing as a GOOD liberal tax policy despised by conservatives, the deployment of this skim-and-give taxing tool is spreading to other Montana communities. From the link:

Downtown Great Falls is a gem, said Planning and Community Development Director Brock Cherry last week. It’s one of the elements that persuaded him to move to the area years ago.

Cherry led a meeting in the Civic Center to discuss a draft program to help fund housing development downtown using tax increment financing (TIF). The target of this funding would be so-called “workforce housing,” which is aimed at lower-middle-income families that make 60% to 140% of the area median income. For a single person, that is about $39,000 to $91,000 per year, according to one measure of area income. That figure increases for dual-income households.

The same demographic could also be called “missing middle,” a term that NeighborWorks Great Falls Director Sherrie Arey used last year when describing a new loan program for prospective home buyers. It’s all part of a broader effort to increase the housing supply in Great Falls.

What’s next for Great Falls? Maybe they should try “land-banking”, an amazing method of spending other people’s money (tax payers) to over-pay for a piece of property (former Sleepy Inn on West Broadway) and then use MORE money to destroy the existing housing structure in order to provide housing for WEEDS, which is all that’s growing right now where poor people once lived for $250 bucks a week.

Another idea is to build TALLER, something State Senator, Ellie Boldman, worked on enabling during this past session. To champion this legislation Ellie’s Democrat pal, Danny Tenenbaum, made it sound like a REVOLUTION was happening in Montana in an article he wrote all by himself for something called the “Sightline Institute“.

Something big is brewing in Big Sky Country: an ongoing bipartisan revolution in housing policy.

In 2023 Montana passed an ambitious package of land use reforms, making it easier for the state to meet its growing demand for housing. This year the legislature’s cross-partisan pro-housing caucus kept its foot on the gas and passed an even more ambitious package of changes to the rules that have contributed to the state’s housing shortage.

The most significant reforms won’t take effect until 2026, but other states would do well to study Montana’s strategy for success.

Yep, Danny Tenenbaum is so politically delusional he thinks the rest of America should emulate the dumpster fire that emerged in Helena this spring, making Montana’s tax policies some of the most complicated in the country. I guess that’s what you get when elect a New York transplant who once got paid by Homeland Security to work with refugees overseas, a little detail I got from Danny’s Wikipedia page:

After earning his bachelor’s degree, Tenenbaum worked as an overseas refugee officer with the Department of Homeland Security. After graduating from law school, he and his wife moved from New York City to Missoula, Montana, where he works as a public defender.

I’m glad I didn’t get this New Yorker as MY public defender after the city allowed an ex to weaponize a restraining order against me so that I’m no longer allowed at City Council, nor able to write about our local chapter of the United Way. I’m also glad local prosecutors decided to NOT take my complain against Tenenbaum seriously after he snuck into Crosspoint Church to secretly record Christians having a meeting.

Imagine what would happen if I snuck into Danny’s synagogue to record all the joy and celebrating that must be happening now that the Zionists have their Holy War to play with. Does anyone think I could pull that off WITHOUT being arrested?

So, in conclusion, the two articles about Adam Hertz using TIF money comes from a liberal media landscape that uses its power to selectively scrutinize conservatives while giving a GIANT pass to Democrats who are doing MUCH MORE damaging things to our community than using a commonly used financial tool to build some much-needed housing.

Pathetic.
