nonprofit’s largest single gift

Original Article

Former Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos donated $100 million to former President Barack Obama’s private foundation, the nonprofit’s biggest single gift to date, the Chicago-based foundation announced Monday. Mr. Bezos, who owns The Washington Post, made the donation in honor of the late Rep. John Lewis. The plaza where the Obama Presidential Center is located will be renamed for the civil rights activist.(Snip)His gift to the Obama Foundation comes as Amazon is feuding with the Biden administration over regulatory issues. Lina Khan, President Biden’s appointee leading the Federal Trade Commission, has criticized Amazon for what she calls anti-competitive business practices and has reportedly extended an investigation

Comments:

Unlike a purchase of Hunter Biden's artwork, a donation to a so-called charitable trust is tax-deductible way to get the current administration off your back for cheap.

Made $100 mil easy with the Dem planned CCP virus and closing down all the small businesses! Just a "grateful" donation to the cause...of course it's tax deductible.

isn't it something that even billionaires have to pay off the politicians to secure their future endeavors, this should make hosingyou obama one of the richest in the world and the thing about that is, there's more to come. hosingyou knows that he has them all right where he wants them.

A guy who looks like Bezos has to buy a girlfriend. Leo, on the other hand… All these “foundations” are nothing but free money for the wealthy. Money goes in for a cause and the vast majority of it comes right out into the pocket of the person whose name is on the foundation. I don’t understand what great wealth does to people but it definitely changes them. Maybe that is why the Bible tells us that a camel will more easily go through the eye of a needle than a rich man will enter the gates of Heaven. The love of money is the root of all evil and we have abundance of evidence to prove that. Poor Bezos, enjoy yourself now. The odds are not in your favor after you leave this mortal coil.

Bozo just guaranteed that his name will now be permanently removed by the FBI/DOJ from Jeffery Epstein's little black book --- just as the trial for Jeff's girlfriend, Ghislaine Maxwell, is about to begin. And don't think for a second this was generous. It's mere pocket change. In terms of percentages it means Bozo (who is worth $227 billion) donated less than half of one percent of his wealth. If you had $100,000 in the bank, it would equal about $44.24. A million dollars in the bank? You'd write a check for $442.47

Immunity against infection from COVID-19 vaccines is waning over time, a new study suggests. Researchers from the Leumit Health Services in Israel and the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) looked at people inoculated with the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine. They found that, 90 days after receiving the second dose, the risk of contracting the virus more than doubles and only keeps increasing as far as six months out. What's more, the percentage of tests coming back positive for COVID-19 quadrupled from 2.4 percent at least 90 days later to 10.6 percent at least 150 days later. The finding add more evidence that, while the Pfizer vaccines provides strong protection

British experts have sounded the alarm over a new Covid variant believed to have emerged in Botswana that is the most mutated version of the virus yet. Only 10 cases of the strain, which could eventually be named 'Nu', have been detected so far. But it has already been spotted in three countries, suggesting the variant is more widespread. It carries 32 mutations, many of which suggest it is highly transmissible and vaccine-resistant, and has more alterations to its spike protein than any other variant.(Snip)Dr Tom Peacock, a virologist at Imperial College who first picked up on its spread, described the variant's combination of mutations as 'horrific'.

The manifesto, which has been signed by at least 600, or less than 0.5% of all Google employees, asks company executives to abandon the policy to create a mandate 'inclusive of all Googlers,' CNBC first reported.

Iowa’s Medicaid system must cover gender confirmation surgery, a judge ruled Friday. Polk County District Court Judge William P. Kelly ruled that a state law that blocked Medicaid from covering gender confirmation procedures violated the Iowa Civil Rights Act and the Iowa Constitution—allowing trans Iowans to receive coverage for medically necessary surgery to treat gender dysphoria. Gender dysphoria is defined as a “marked incongruence between their experienced or expressed gender and the one they were assigned at birth.” It is a serious medical condition that often begins in childhood, even though some people may not experience it until after puberty or even later, according to the American Psychiatric Association.

New York—Dollar Tree will soon be $1.25 tree. The company—one of America's last remaining true dollar stores—said Tuesday it will raise prices from $1 to $1.25 on the majority of its products by the first quarter of 2022. The change is a sign of the pressures low-cost retailers face holding down prices during a period of rising inflation. Dollar Tree (DLTR) said in a quarterly earnings release Tuesday that its decision to raise prices to $1.25 permanently, however, was "not a reaction to short-term or transitory market conditions." Selling stuff strictly for $1 hampered Dollar Tree, the company said, and forced it stop selling some

Joe Biden filed an emergency lawsuit on Tuesday seeking to immediately reinstate its vaccine mandate for private employers with 100 or more workers after it faced a series of legal challenges. Earlier this month, the Fifth Circuit Court in New Orleans issued a preliminary pause on the order, which prevented the Occupational Safety and Health Administration from moving forward in implementing the employer rules. The Justice Department argues in its filing, according to The Wall Street Journal, that the rules reflect 'OSHA's judgment that these measures are necessary to mitigate Covid-19 transmission in the workplace, and the grievous harms the virus inflicts on workers.'

It carries 32 mutations, many of which suggest it is highly transmissible and vaccine-resistant, and has more alterations to its spike protein than any other variant.(Snip)Dr Tom Peacock, a virologist at Imperial College who first picked up on its spread, described the variant's combination of mutations as 'horrific'.

Jimmy Carter had his brother Billy, Colonel Muammar Qaddafi’s registered foreign agent. Similarly, Roger Clinton, Bill Clinton’s half-brother, was paid by the Gambino mafia family figure, for whom he allegedly tried to arrange a pardon, and was then himself pardoned by his half-brother
