Based on the excerpt from the posthumous Virginia Guiffre memoir, in which she describes being “trafficked” when she was 17 to “a gubernatorial candidate who was soon to win election in a western state.”

Sitting North Dakota Senator John Hoeven was the only newly elected western governor in 2000.

While Mike Johnson claims he doesn’t have a strategy, we know that’s a lie. His strategy: give tax breaks to billionaires and protect the predators since he won’t release the Epstein files. All while Americans suffer.

Is brainwashing irreversible?
Absolutely appalled at the number of Scots, of my era, who buy the Daily Mail. A retiring editor said that their success resulted from giving people something or someone to hate and boy is that obvious when you talk to their readership.

Justice JACKSON standing up for voting rights. 🔥

Louisiana: Plaintiffs said 'we want another majority-black district.'

Jackson: No. They said 'we aren't receiving equal electoral opportunity because our votes are being diluted.'

Louisiana: Same thing.

Jackson: No, it’s not.

“What’s the benefit for 🇺🇸 in sending $20 BILLION to Argentina?”🤔

Trump says he just really likes their philosophy and will only send the $20 Billion if his pal Milei wins.

Imagine not being able to see this blatant corruption for what it is. (While our farmers struggle)
