Dating from around 1865, this hooded parka from the Aleutian Islands in southern Alaska is made from seal intestines, a naturally waterproof & windproof material. Both robust & decorative, these seal gut parkas would have been used daily to keep warm & dry in this harsh environment.

For all the grandstanding, Democrats have been nowhere to be seen on the ground in Minnesota. The work there is being done by leftist groups, immigrants rights orgs, and random citizens. Took Walz almost a week to visit Good's memorial. Democrats do not functionally exist in the conversation anymore

Each of these billionaires spent their early childhood in apartheid South Africa, living under strict racial segregation. Until 1994, when apartheid officially ended, Land Acts reserved over 80% of land for white settlers, forcing millions of Black South Africans into crowded ghettos.

The FBI Director lied to Congress by stating there were no co-conspirators working with Epstein to sex-traffic little girls. In the latest drop of Epstein files, the FBI states there were 10 co-conspirators. One of them could very well have been Trump it looks like. Trump's BFF was Epstein FFS!!
