I’m all for peace… but if Satan wins that Nobel prize, it will sully it forever. You know there’s grift, you know he (and Kushner) did it to get their hands on oceanfront property. Not because of human suffering. All will be exposed and the amount of grift will astonish even us.

Adelita Grijalva won her election fair and square.

Now House Speaker Mike Johnson is refusing to swear her in because she would be the final signature to release the Epstein files.

Mr. Speaker, respect democracy. Obey the law. Swear Representative Grijalva in immediately.
