Billionaire Bill Gates slammed the Trump Administration’s decision to shut down the U.S. Agency for International Development, as a report from the Gates Foundation found that about 200,000 more children under the age of 5 could die this year than in 2024. Gates said the increase is related to a 27% reduction in global health aid from donors and wealthy nations, including the U.S. “I believe that was a gigantic mistake,” Gates said of the USAID changes.

Surely you suspect that you're a moron.


Somehow, that sentiment made you feel really "masculine"...


But remember, the lasting legacy of your cult will be a BALLROOM.

"Rapid population growth in some of Africa’s poorest countries could put at risk future progress towards reducing global poverty and improving health, according to a report by the philanthropic foundation of Bill Gates."

You're such a dumb ***.....now go find another contradictory link that has your head spinning.

No one alive is this stupid.

Global Gag Rule (Mexico City Policy):

The Trump administration reinstated and expanded the "global gag rule," which blocks foreign non-governmental organizations from receiving U.S. global health assistance if they perform or promote abortion services, even with non-U.S. funds.


Termination of Grants:

The administration terminated all international family planning grants, including U.S. contributions to the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), leading to millions of women and couples being denied contraceptive care globally. 

This has been THE HIGHEST priority of Slack Jaw Administrations for 25 years...it was among the first official acts of both Scrub and Grifty.

Which scenario is an example of survivorship bias in evaluating business success?

A) Believing that reading business books increases revenue after finding many CEOs recommend them.
B) Concluding that most startups fail after analyzing bankrupt companies.
C) Thinking entrepreneurship is easy because most media profiles focus on successful founders.
D) Surveying customers to understand why they chose your product over competitors

Predictions:

Let me prove how predictable you narcissists are. Watch this:

1. Phase 1: You will say that you answered it.
Phase 2: I will remind you of :"are these your words?" from yesterday and if "will" is future tense. 
Phase 3: You will deny that I showed you, because of your meltdown with my link provided...and then you will say "I didn't ask for a link."
Repeat

2. Your next move will be to claim that you answered it by giving your definition, to which I replied that isn't the question...etc...etc...blah...blah...blah..

3. You will also say that you answered through your non-answers. 

Moron.

Deal:

Deal: If Veghead can prove that he answered the survivorship multiple choice question, as the question is written and asked, along with his defense of his answer, then I will agree to never come back for as long as I live. If he cannot, then he is out of here for a month. Additionally, his defense cannot be "Because it fits my definition." That is a claim, not a defense. He is to defend why. 

Exception: I will allow for an exception. If he loses, then I will allow him to stay if he answers it the way it is asked, along with his defense. However, he must do it immediately after the deal has been decided. Not 100 posts later. The very next post of his must be his answer/defense.

I forget what countries were involved, but I don't recall Israel being in his swimwear.  It was like Azerbiajan or something.

His wife accepted a lot of foriegn influence dollars .

I took a look

According to court documents, beginning in at least December 2014 and continuing through at least November 2021, Congressman Cuellar and Imelda Cuellar allegedly accepted approximately $600,000 in bribes from two foreign entities: an oil and gas company wholly owned and controlled by the Government of Azerbaijan


Azerbaijan and Israel have a close strategic partnership rooted in shared interests, particularly regarding energy, defense, and security concerns, especially concerning Iran. This relationship includes significant military and intelligence cooperation, energy trade, and a strategic alliance that has been vital to Israel's energy security and Azerbaijan's military capabilities, especially in conflicts like the one over Nagorno-Karabakh. The partnership also benefits from historical ties, cultural proximity, and a shared history of navigating relations within the post-Soviet landscape

not a bad guess
