All the hoopla surrounding Trump’s ballroom funding brought me to this story.

Elon Musk has gone out to lend his VOICE to MAGA. His purchase of Twitter (X) saved free speech and arguably the 2024 election.

Mackenzie Scott gave $275 million to Planned Parenthood, largest private donation in its history. 🤢

Wish more were willing to part with their money though, and donate to things like infrastructure improvements. Not just donate, but oversee — instead of the government.

Trump's trying to do that, but the Dims are blocking it every way they can. The WH ballroom project isn't costing taxpayers a dime. And no president in history has as much experience with high end real estate development as Trump. The same with Trump 1.0's term and people/industries donating to build the wall.

:In March 2022, philanthropist MacKenzie Scott donated $275 million to the Planned Parenthood Federation of America and 21 of its regional affiliates. This is the largest single donation from an individual donor in the organization’s history. The unrestricted funds are aimed at improving health equity, addressing racial and structural barriers in healthcare, and strengthening reproductive health access.
Key Details of the Donation:

Historic Amount: The $275 million gift is the largest ever received by Planned Parenthood from one donor.
Targeted Impact: The funds are designed to support patient services, including birth control, health screenings, and abortion care, particularly in areas with increasing restrictions.
Affiliate Support: The donation was split between the national organization and 21 regional affiliates, such as Planned Parenthood of the St. Louis Region and Southwest Missouri.
Focus on Equity: The donation aims to improve health outcomes and equity, with a specific focus on serving communities of color and reducing barriers to care.
Broader Philanthropy: This donation is part of Scott’s “Giving Pledge,” where she has donated over $12 billion to various organizations since her divorce from Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, as reported by Forbes. “ AI copiolot

The only “health services” planned parenthood provides is abortion, which is murder, not a health service.

It is harder than most might realize to actually help people without hurting them instead.

give a homeless man a $1,000 and he might be dead by the next day from an overdose (like what happened when Hulk Hogan when he gave some money to his brother)

I would think teaming up with a college you feel good about and giving them enough of an endowment that tuition can be free forever for all who attend, might be a good way of helping) But you would have to take time to pick the right one and make sure they will be teaching the right things now and in the future, so the money isn’t wasting teaching womens studies, and supporting DEI hires ect

Give to who can’t do anything for you. Humane societies. Animal Rescue groups. I just gave nearly 100k to the local high school shop class. I will never give to “charities” that say they are helping the hungry, the homeless, or the Africans. They squander everything and things never change. Even when I use to make food for the homeless the ungrateful punks just tossed it in the trash.

It is why I do not give to organized charities., even Catholic ones and I am Catholic. I prefer personal and immediate charity.
