🚨 Texas businessman running for office owns Epstein's Zorro Ranch in Santa Fe County



This guy has the creepiest campaign ad which he runs every chance he gets. He has a very white christian nationalist vibe to it and throw in a lot of Nazi imagery.

I guess we now know to subpoena to excavate the property.


The family of Texas businessman and politician Donald Huffines owns the late Jeffrey Epstein's Zorro Ranch in southern Santa Fe County, which was purchased in 2023 by a limited liability company created just a month before the purchase.

Huffines, a former GOP state senator from Dallas, is now running a high-profile campaign for comptroller — a publicly elected position in Texas overseeing state financial matters.

The ownership was previously unreported.

Trump also has Leon Black's son in his administration. It's pedophile nepotism.

It’s all so surreal.

Hopefully our national nightmare will be over, and we can return to decency.

So this guy, Don Huffines, bought Epstein’s Zorro Ranch in New Mexico sight unseen, his wife contested the county’s property tax assessment, he’s now running for Texas Comptroller with campaign promises to “DOGE Texas government”, "abolish woke DEI” and "eliminate benefits for illegal aliens.”

Oh, and this picture shows him as a then-Texas Senator in a meeting with Russian lawmakers in Moscow..



Nothing to see here.
