@NickRogersBTL@GovtsTheProblem I70 is the exact same the moment you cross the state line from KS into CO. It should be mandatory that every elected official ride with a truck driver for a minimum of 1 week around the City so they can see what a shithole our roads are.
@jaredpolis Sir, homelessness and overdose deaths have increased significantly on your watch. Just because you didn’t “pull the trigger” doesn’t mean you don’t have blood on your hands from your wreckless policies.
🚨 WSJ just dubbed Denver “America’s Emptiest Downtown” 😬
California developer Asher Luzzatto just scooped up two prime downtown towers (621 & 633 17th Street) for a fire-sale $3.2 million.
Now Denver’s DDA is handing him a $63 million low-interest, taxpayer-backed loan to turn them into ~700 apartments… including a “vertical village.”
At least 70 units will be income-restricted.
Will they be filled with problematic voucher tenants who bring crime, drugs and chaos?
Meanwhile Denver already has nearly 4,000 vacant affordable units…an 8.8% vacancy rate (a 10-year high!!)
Denver County is losing residents through net negative domestic migration.
Yet the cycle continues:
🔥 Let crime & chaos destroy downtown
💰 Out-of-state developers buy distressed towers for pennies
🏗️ Promise shiny “affordable” conversions
💸 Raid public coffers (DDA’s debt capacity is now in the hundreds of millions) to subsidize the deal
Why are we building more subsidized housing when thousands of units are already vacant?
Who exactly is this helping…besides developers and insiders?

The mainstream media failed you once again, here are two examples.
They tried to debunk, cover for fraudsters, and slander my name. The governor even called it “white supremacy” to expose the fraud.
Now it’s all true, and they get to move along like they never lied to you.
It’s time to support independent journalists and leave the mainstream (fake) media behind.
𝕏 makes this possible and allows you to support independent journalists directly on the platform. If you appreciate my work and want to support, please do so. It’s not expected but very much appreciated 🙏🏼 https://t.co/R7E4gNUnC6
The 10-year Treasury yield is perhaps the most important financial benchmark in the global fiat system, as it drives valuations and market trends worldwide. It is widely—and erroneously—regarded as the risk-free rate of return.
The 10-year Treasury yield can be thought of as a key barometer of the US dollar-based fiat system—a critical measure akin to its beating heart.
Bond yields move inversely to bond prices. When bond prices fall, bond yields rise.
A rising 10-year Treasury yield signals trouble for the US dollar because it means investors are selling Treasuries, which pushes up the US government’s borrowing costs. That is why the 10-year Treasury yield is a major pain point for the US government.
The 10-year Treasury yield was 3.97% when the war started. Now it is around 4.60%, an increase of roughly 63 basis points.
I expect the 10-year Treasury yield to keep climbing over the coming weeks and months—until it forces the Fed’s hand. At that point, the intervention will be sold as “stability,” but the mechanism will be familiar: suppress yields by debasing the currency.
At today’s debt levels, every 1 basis point increase in the government’s average borrowing cost adds roughly $3.9 billion in annual interest expense. So a 63 bps rise is not trivial—it translates to nearly $250 billion in additional yearly interest costs, materially widening a 2025 budget deficit that was already around $1.8 trillion.
Higher yields mean the US government must pay tens or even hundreds of billions more in interest on its debt. At the same time, the global economy faces even greater added costs because Treasury rates serve as the benchmark for borrowing worldwide.
That is not an insignificant move. However, given all the headwinds I have discussed, I suspect the 10-year Treasury yield is headed much higher because investors will demand higher yields to compensate for rising inflation. Further, if Hormuz remains closed, drastically higher oil prices are all but certain. Higher energy prices mean higher prices across the economy and higher official inflation rates, which means investors will demand still higher yields to compensate.
The problem is that interest on the federal debt is already over $1.2 trillion and is now the second-largest item in the budget. The US government cannot afford yields going much higher because the interest expense would push it toward bankruptcy.
I am not sure how—or even if—the US government can manage this situation. Something has to give, and we will not have to wait long to find out what.
The Iran war may prove to be more than another foreign policy disaster. It could be the trigger that exposes the fragility of the entire dollar-based financial system.
$32 million dollars and an entire administration mobilized to destroy one congressman.
His crime?
Demanding answers about Epstein class abuse networks, and refusing to let child predators hide behind political cover.
If that level of firepower doesn't tell you who's being protected, nothing will.
Go Massie!
@jeffhunt Good for him, but this tells me that our elections are bought and paid for which is clearly no secret. Has Marx said anything about changing this if he were to win to where a candidate shouldn't have to raise hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars to win a campaign?
@jeffhunt These lawmakers live in the state too, can’t they see their quality of life eroding? It’s simply mind boggling why they continue to do what they do.
