Where is the OUTRAGE?!
In England, the King is calling for his own brother’s prosecution. In Norway, the Princess is being stripped of support. 🌍 But in America? Our government is running cover for elite pedophiles until people like Rep. Ro Khanna and Rep. Thomas Massie force their hand. There is NO accountability for the ‘Epstein Class’ in the…

Zach Lahn for Governor of Iowa

Putting my pain into purpose. 🎗️🙏🏻 My journey as a 2x cancer survivor has taught me that silence isn’t an option when our future is at stake. With Iowa facing the 2nd highest cancer rate in the nation, we can’t afford ‘politics as usual.’ We need a leader who has the guts to name the…
