Fascinating!-----How Gates, Soros, and Ford Use "Equity" to Hijack Federal Grants

The moral halo of philanthropy is one of the most impenetrable armors in American public life. -@amuse
Wrapped in the rhetoric of generosity and reform, large foundations like the Gates Foundation, Soros' Open Society, and the Ford Foundation operate under the assumption that doing good excuses their methods. 
But methods matter. 
Especially when those methods amount to a private-to-public laundering operation, designed to seed ideologically rigid organizations with just enough early capital to unlock the federal coffers. 
What follows is not generosity, but influence peddling, and not in the margins, but at scale.
Let us begin with a familiar model: private equity. 
When George Soros breaks a currency or Bill Gates acquires a company, they begin not with domination, but with leverage. A modest injection of capital, paired with structure, timing, and most importantly debt, can produce wildly asymmetrical returns. That same logic is now applied not to companies or commodities, but to ideology. The left-wing philanthropic giants fund non-governmental organizations (NGOs) whose only product is political conformity. They seed them with grants, polish their proposals, and send them, briefcase in hand, to Washington. The return on investment is swift and staggering...
The scale is almost unfathomable. 
Private foundations make more than $100 billion in grants available to NGOs each year. Those NGOs, freshly seeded and polished, in turn raise nearly $900 billion from the federal government in additional grants. The leverage is nine to one. For every dollar a foundation donates, the federal government grants nine...

"Shockingly, the NIH had not asked that question," he continued. "But what I'm looking forward to is that we're going to address the health questions and the health needs of the American people with excellent, gold-standard research." In February, Vance visited East Palestine on the second anniversary of the disaster. "President Trump and I have never forgotten the people of East Palestine, and we will never stop fighting for the cleanup effort in this community to be completed," Vance wrote in a post on X. "We are with you for the long haul." He guaranteed the community that the environmental cleanup would be completed, calling it "a tragedy and a shame" that the Biden administration failed to finish the effort. Former President Joe Biden took a year to visit the town after the disaster.

Texas drops hammer on alleged vote-harvesting judge, officials after multi-year election crime probe | Blaze Media

Five of those indicted have ties to Democratic candidates, the New York Times reported.

The alleged vote harvesters were arrested on May 2, except Camacho. Paxton’s office noted that she would be “processed at a later date.”

“In August 2024, Attorney General Paxton’s Criminal Investigation Division executed multiple search warrants in Frio, Atascosa, and Bexar Counties as part of a multi-year election integrity investigation into credible allegations of vote harvesting,” a press release from Paxton’s office read. “On May 1, 2025, Frio County District Attorney Audrey Louis and the Election Integrity Unit of the Office of the Attorney General presented a criminal vote harvesting case to a grand jury in Frio County.”

"These members of Congress storming into a detention facility goes beyond bizarre political stunt and puts the safety of our law enforcement agents and the detainees at risk," a DHS statement to Fox News said.

No chance it was fixed...right?-----Gamblers Walk Away With Ridiculous Amount Of Money After Betting On Next Pope | The Daily Caller

Yes, you read that correctly, you were actually able to place money on the next pope! And people did! - Andrew Powell
2025 is wild …
  • Per OutKick, most people slapped their cash on Cardinal Pietro Parolin, who was the odds-on favorite going into things, but there were a few lucky gamblers who placed their money on Robert Prevost. According to cryptocurrency-based prediction market Polymarket, Prevost only had a 0.3% chance of winning the election only hours prior to white smoke blowing out of the Vatican.
  • In other words, the lucky few who did place some money on Prevost walked away with an insane amount.

But he ignored, even while promoting those chemicals and those body-mutilating surgeries as "health care," the results now confirmed in a government study that was being developed at the time, and now is released, revealing that all of those attempts to "change" adults didn't "improve their lives." The agenda immediately was applied to children, despite the failure in "treating" adults. In fact, according to a report in the Washington Stand, the report, "Treatment for Pediatric Gender Dysphoria: Review of Evidence and Best Practices," released by the Department of Health and Human Services on May 1, said those "same medical interventions had failed to improve the lives of adults."

Would the Left Finally Explain the Inexplicable? | RealClearPolitics

Somewhere between 10 and 12 million illegal aliens were invited into the United States by the Biden administration. -  Victor Davis Hanson
After all, they somehow managed to stop the congressionally approved continuance of the border wall, to subvert federal immigration law, to emasculate the border patrol, and to ensure that millions of people around the world could simply walk into the U.S. illegally, unaudited and with impunity.
But why did Biden or his puppeteers do something so anarchic, so injurious to their fellow Americans?
  • Why cost the nation hundreds of billions of dollars in massive new entitlements? 
  • Why swamp the social services of our own poor citizens?
  • Why turn loose half a million criminal aliens and gang members to prey on our own weak and defenseless?...
