After this story went viral starting last night,
@MayorKeller
‘s CAO Samantha Sengel called
@KOB4
& chewed them out. So they took it down. But the internet is forever. Here are screenshots of the article from both KOB & Ground.
I often run into people around ABQ who I may not have seen in a long time or whom I may never have met in person who say they appreciate & support the type of things I post on social media about our community’s challenges. Their encouragement means a lot because I don’t enjoy it.
Three good pieces in the Albuquerque Journal today that explain what’s really going on out there. Nearly every crime in New Mexico derives from drug addiction. But yet there are leaders who advocate for state-sponsored legal use sites for narcotics or say that “housing” is all
We have earned an unmatched resilience, an ability to keep going no matter what. Building a strong community, despite our challenges, is Albuquerque’s story, a story that I believe is an example for America’s future.
Thanks for joining us for the State of the City ABQ!
September starts off with Albuquerque’s 18th murder in 16 days. Even with

Since my business sign at Spain & Juan Tabo seems to have attracted vandals, I thought to myself “What could I put there to trigger lazy, socialist, coward criminals even more?” I’m pleased to present the all-time champ 🇺🇸🫡
On 8/1/23, we received a message from 1 of our tenants at 2501 San Pedro NE that they suspected a rape had occurred in front of the building. We checked our cameras & what was there was horrifying. The man shown in this picture is clearly seen raping & beating a woman, including

Just asked our staff to remove these political signs from our construction fence at 98th & Central. I don’t know who these candidates are but people who want to use our tax dollars to rob us don’t get to use our properties as billboards.
@BernCoTreasurer
@BerncoAssessor
Jaw-dropping story in today’s ABQ Journal of a dangerous crime spree by children. This is the lunacy derived from a consequence-free, lawless environment.
A business owner in Santa Fe was protecting his property from a repeat criminal trespasser because
@santafepolice
wouldn’t
#EnforceTheLaw
. But of course they find a reason to arrest the business owner who’d had no choice but to take matters into his own hands. NM’s upside-down.
Well done,
@NMStatePolice
! This dangerous repeat offender was released from jail by

Target will close 9 stores in cities, citing violence, theft
At 201 San Pedro SE in ABQ, a trespasser threw large rocks at employees. Our guards cuffed him, detained him & called
@ABQPOLICE
. As shown in the comments, APD didn’t arrest him & had us let him go with only a criminal trespass citation. This man should be in jail.
@MayorKeller
Our security company at Central Mercado at Central & San Pedro resigned today because the area’s too dangerous, we won’t double security from 1 guard 24/7 to 2 guards 24/7 (taking our annual expense from $200k to $400k) & because the company doesn’t get response from
@ABQPOLICE
@ABQRAW
When
@ABQRAW
cites a witness account, it doesn’t mean they talked to a witness. They heard law enforcement communications about police who heard from a witness. The information was never released by APD.
With the colder weather, we encounter transients setting fires every night. I posted about two recently. They set them in dumpsters, trash cans & in landscaping.
@MayorKeller
‘s refusal to
#EnforceTheLaw
will kill people in fires & cause further destruction in our City.
@abqfire
Shopping carts are pricy. So why doesn’t
@ABQPOLICE
arrest those who steal them? Most transients in Albuquerque come here from out of town, attracted by lax law enforcement & plentiful handouts. But if
@MayorKeller
would let APD
#EnforceTheLaw
we’d be a less enticing destination.
Excellent piece by Councilor Sanchez today. But I disagree with his conclusion that
@ABQPoliceChief
needs to resign. Medina is just a yes-man. He’d be replaced by another one. Who needs to resign is
@MayorKeller
. Medina would quit thereafter before a new, real leader fires him.
Spent a portion of my day removing this trespassing transient from our property at 2325 San Pedro NE where he had decided he lives in our landscaping. I waited for him to pull up his pants, grab his drugs & gather his assets.

Over the past three years, ACS has become a vital part of our public safety response, reshaping how we assist people in need by providing the right help at the right time.
Shout out to the
@CrucesSunNews
which reported this years ago. I reposted it several times as did others. Every other news organization in NM ignored it. Should have also been national news considering BR was Energy Secretary, a congressperson, a governor & a hostage negotiator.
About 20 years ago, my Dad & I had a private lunch with then-Mayor Marty Chavez. I suggested that the City should market itself to retirees. He said overtly that he didn’t want that because of “how they vote”. That’s the reason
@NMDEMS
want NM to be a bad place to retire.
@AARP
Stop taxing Social Security - Several people have reached out letting me know this is a major issue for them. I agree ! And with a 13 billion dollar surplus, seems like now is a good time make this change and protect aging population. Arizona draws retirees in droves and this
NM has the lowest employment participation rate in the U.S. That’s due to a record amount of citizens on the public dole and/or addicted to drugs such as fentanyl. Plus, most of those who DO work are employed by the government. But that all gets celebrated by socialist elites.
Ever the mouthpiece for
@MayorKeller
& his micromismanagement of APD, ABQ Journal crime reporter (spin regurgitator) Matt Reisen (who blocks me) uses this piece to repeat the lie that “both violent & property crime are trending down”. It goes unreported because APD ignores it 🤷♂️.
We received this lease termination notice from a local tenant today. They were leasing space from us in Nob Hill, which used to be a good neighborhood. It has declined significantly under

It’s the 5th time this person has vandalized my sign at Spain & Juan Tabo. It’s now ruined. Each time we file a report with
@ABQPOLICE

@Lara_Listens
@MayorKeller
I post here often (it could be daily) about the multiple crimes that occur at Central Mercado at Central & San Pedro. For most, we don’t call

because they don’t show, show too late or refuse to arrest.

Anyone notice many streets in downtown Albuquerque shut off with caution tape this AM & lots of
@ABQPOLICE
cars around? It’s so they could remove transients & clean before a
@MayorKeller
press conference today to claim that he’s cleaned up our city core. Here’s how it is usually.
November 15th is always a double special day for us. Jim & Mary Peterson founded their company on their 2nd wedding anniversary. Today marks 54 years for their marriage & 52 years for Peterson Properties. Veteran-owned, Woman-owned & Family-owned.
The NM State Investment Council is taking $50,000,000 belonging to New Mexicans & “investing” it with a Palo Alto, CA climate fund. We are not poor. Politicians just tell us that so they can keep giving our money away toward their agendas while their friends charge massive fees.
“I don’t want to do it anymore, they win,” Monte said. “I’ve done a lot of businesses in a lot of other states and New Mexico is, by far, the most difficult.” R.I.P. Monte’s Cigar Shop, another store buried in NM’s business graveyard 🪦🧟

Housing doesn’t solve homelessness. 55% of homeless reject housing when offered. That’s because most want to continue drug use.

Look like San Francisco? It’s not. It’s Walgreens at San Antonio/Wyoming in Albuquerque. And it’s every day. If we don’t take our city back, there will be nothing left to take.

@Lara_Listens
This piece from
@ABQPoliceChief
in today’s ABQ Journal is insulting & disrespectful to this City. Anyone who lives here knows that crime’s up & that the drop in reports (if that is even true) is due to lack of response from APD’s dispatch. Citizens see through this,
@MayorKeller
We used to sponsor the APD annual awards gala. It was a fun evening where officers got to relax, celebrate their accomplishments & interact with the community. Six years later & our department has been neutered by
@MayorKeller
& has a drunk 💩-posting after 19 murders in 17 days.
The KOAT story got picked up by the AP & the ABQ Journal. When citizens share the truth,
@MayorKeller
labels it “misinformation” & directs his minions to harass & intimidate. It’s dark days for ABQ but there are still good people here including most of the officers at
@ABQPOLICE
Once again,
@MayorKeller
gets busted for brazenly giving away our tax dollars to his friends hired for the “unclassified” jobs he controls. Timothy invented many of those positions, has more of them than any Mayor before & violates
@cabq
policy to dole out our money like candy 🍭
Now
@ABQPOLICE
dispatch is overtly instructing businesses near our property to send troubled people TO our property because we have security (for another 27 days at least). 🤦🏻♂️ Instead of us paying taxes, why is the government not paying my company for our service,
@Lara_Listens
?
Albuquerque’s more violent than ever because
@MayorKeller
coddles criminals & instructs APD to not

An old postcard that shows why we don’t give up on Albuquerque, or ourselves. One building is where my Dad moonlighted while he was in the Air Force in the 1950s, coding checks at the bank. Two buildings are ones I now own.

Since Saturday,
@MayorKeller
has posted about balloons, Indigenous People’s Day, housing & guns at schools. Still no support of Israel or sympathy for the Jewish community in Albuquerque. Not surprising from a graduate of
@Harvard
, where 30+ student groups openly support Hamas.
Give it back to taxpayers. This is OUR state. The revenue was generated with OUR oil. Infrastructure is important but fix it using the money we already gave you, like you were supposed to. Government is the least effective allocator of resources. Citizens are the most effective.
1/2 With a historic $3.8 billion surplus, my proposed New Mexico Transportation Trust Fund will revolutionize our state's infrastructure, benefiting every New Mexican.
The message from
@ABQPoliceChief
(the mouthpiece shill of
@MayorKeller
) is loud & clear: Crime is the fault of the victim. Despite the millions of $s in R.E. & G.R. Taxes
@Walgreens
pays, this letter says 1. Hire guards with guns 2. Lock up your merchandise & 3. Stop calling us!
So we get bamboozled for over $100,000,000 to make A.R.T. while it tears up our streets & closes businesses. Then we make it free so criminals have complimentary getaway vehicles. Now we have to pay for a specific division of an already overburdened police department to guard it.
Here again is the man who has taken over an
@abqride
stop on Louisiana south of Montgomery, still with his stolen shopping cart used for a loft-ladder. You would think with how many times citizens have reported this that
@ABQPOLICE
would hit this spot frequently &
#EnforceTheLaw
Such nonsense. The citizens of Albuquerque pay taxes while the bus becomes “free” for criminals to use as getaway vehicles after they rob us but now the citizens are supposed to go clean up after the crooks? Get bent.
Hoping that
@elonmusk
buys
@Nextdoor
& fires 98% of their snowflake staff so that citizens can actually show the truth about what’s occurring in a community.
Look at how
@koat7news
framed this story vs. what really happened. “Man hurt”. Siding with the crook. It should read “BCSO arrests car thief who tried to kill a deputy”. Good on BCSO for enforcing the law within

Leaves a man “seriously injured, with titanium plates across his rib cage, deformed bones in his upper arm & stitches in his ear”. Can’t
