People who give us hope: Norway
Yes, they are great at the Winter Olympics-- they lead in medal total, despite being a nation of only about 5.5 million, which is a little less than the state of Minnesota.
But what really impresses me right now is that they are taking the Epstein files seriously, and there have been consequences for supporting a known pedophile. Thorbjorn Jagland, the former Prime Minister of Norway, has been charged with "gross corruption" after details emerged of his activities with Jeffrey Epstein, which included connecting Epstein to international figures. Meanwhile, Crown Princess Mette-Marit is facing intense criticism as well, after the 1,000+ mentions of her in the Epstein files show a relationship that went on long after Epstein was convicted of child sex offenses.
So, you go, Norway!
