   During her acceptance speech at last night's Grammys, singer Billie Eilish   
   claimed that America is land stolen from "native peoples".   
      
   Billie Eilish's $14-million mansion sits on several acres of land stolen from   
   the Tongva peoples who were indigenous to Southern California. Will she return   
   that land and the home that sits on it to the tribe? I mean, she has the moral   
   high ground, after all. She's virtuous and she made sure we all knew it.   
   Signaled it, as it were.   
      
   So now that it's incontrovertible that she knows her land is stolen, will she   
   turn it over to the Tongva Tribe? I mean, that's what one does with stolen   
   property, right? You return it to its rightful owner. If Billie needs an   
   attorney to help her with the land transfer paperwork, I'd be happy to help.   
   I'd even do it for free.   
      
   In the alternative, Billie could use that land and that mansion to help house   
   literally hundreds of illegal aliens. She could invite them all in to live   
   with her, since it's all stolen land and "no one is illegal on stolen land",   
   right Billie?   
      
   In the alternative, she could have just listened to Ricky Gervais and taken   
   his sage advice:

   It sure would be cool if we had an actual functioning media in this country   
   who would have asked Billie Eilish some of these hard questions after her   
   preening performance at the award podium.
