Planned Parenthood financier Charles Munger died on November 28, 2023, at age 99, after “spending more than four decades as [Warren] Buffett’s second-in-command and foil atop Berkshire Hathaway Inc.,” according to Reuters. The two men met in Omaha in 1959. Like Buffett, Charles Munger (or “Charlie,” as he was often called) was also an abortion philanthropist, who served on Planned Parenthood’s board and even helped Buffett create a ‘church’ to help women get illegal abortions. Who was Charles Munger? InsidePhilanthropy.com previously noted how Munger “worked in real estate for several years before starting a successful investment firm that eventually caught...

After watching two high level politicians (Newsome and Desantis) evade questions for over two hours, it seems to me like the masterevader (hmmm..) himself, A.Mayorkas, would be comic relief. In fact, just have extra points given for the most ridiculously off-topic answer and also for the laughter meter from the live audience. Let Dave Chappelle be the moderator and the off-aire sponsors be the most popular popcorn brands.

@julie_kelly2 Another cowardly non-answer. In fact, I can’t think of a worse response to a line of questioning that could’ve resulted in a home run answer. DeSantis absolutely refuses to condemn DOJ’s ongoing prosecution of both Trump and J6ers. He cannot even bring himself to say January 6 and instead pulls out the well-worn “parents at school boards.” Further, he accepts Welker’s premise about how Trump would use his power and doesn’t openly laugh in her face about the vermin-Nazi connection or immediately pivot to specific instances of Biden doing exactly what the Left now claims Trump will do. “Retribution...

Michelle Obama can predict the future. Well, she can shape it anyway. Back in 2012, she stood before the assembled throng at the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, North Carolina, and said words that are still shaping elections a decade later. “Let’s be clear,” Michelle said, “elections aren’t just about who votes but who doesn’t vote.” Today, we finally understand what she meant. Here’s what happened: just a few weeks after Biden moved out of his basement and into the Oval Office, he was handed a piece of paper to sign – a paper that set in motion an extremely...

According to a recent survey by Change Research, the biggest dating red flag for men is when someone identifies as a communist. A whopping 64% said this political leaning would be a turnoff. Communism is a far-left ideology that advocates for all wealth and property to be communally owned. Coming in second place was having no hobbies, followed by identifying as a "MAGA Republican." The survey did not specify the sexual orientation of respondents.

We all wish we had access to more money. Everyone knows it doesn’t grow on trees. It might seem like a good idea, but it cannot be printed either. And even though money is hard to come by, it still isn’t a good idea for you to try and steal groceries at the self-checkout line. Just ask Zipporah Abraham. This Florida woman was arrested for trying to steal groceries, use counterfeit cash and eat the evidence. We begin the story at a North Miami, Walmart. The 38-year-old attempted to buy $800 worth of items, but something seemed suspicious with the...

A Villager with a history of bizarre behavior has been jailed after repeated 911 calls. Linda Lincoln, 73, was booked Tuesday at the Lake County Jail on warrants charging her with misuse of 911 and resisting arrest. The warrants were issued earlier this month as the result of a series of 911 calls placed by Lincoln on Oct. 27 from her home on St. Andrews Court on the Historic Side of The Villages. After the first call, an officer found nothing was amiss and advised Lincoln not to dial 911 unless she had an emergency, according to an affidavit...
