The little artist of nature, who paints the world with golden dust. Every small effort creates something beautiful. ✨💛🐝

For two years, Mike Johnson refused to hang the plaque on the wall honoring police officers who defended the Capitol on J6 against a mob of violent rioters, even though a law was passed to mandate it. But he supports paying over a billion dollars to the criminal rioters.
