Melinda French Gates endorses President Joe Biden



Melinda French Gates has endorsed President Joe Biden for re-election.

French Gates and Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates divorced in 2021.

'I'm supporting Biden this election and asking others to do the same.'

"I've never endorsed a presidential candidate before. But this year's election stands to be so enormously consequential for women and families that, this time, I can't stay quiet. Women deserve a leader who cares about the issues they face and is committed to protecting their safety, their health, their economic power, their reproductive rights, and their ability to freely and fully participate in a functioning democracy. In this election, the contrast couldn't be greater, and the stakes couldn't be higher. I will be voting for President Biden," she tweeted.

In an opinion piece published by CNN, French Gates claimed that Trump's White House tenure robbed women "of essential freedoms."

"My work on gender equality and global health often requires me to work with leaders on both sides of the aisle, so I've avoided talking publicly about who I voted for in past elections. But this year is different. After Trump’s first term in office endangered the health of women, compromising their safety and robbing them of essential freedoms, I'm supporting Biden this election and asking others to do the same," she wrote.

During an interview with Gayle King, French Gates had already indicated that she would likely make an endorsement and noted that she would vote for Biden.

French Gates told King that she is "stepping up" her "political giving, along side my charitable, because I think we can move things like paid family medical leave further if I'm doing both."

Why is Bill Gates breeding millions of mosquitoes?



Bill Gates wants to transform Earth into the kind of hellscape that belongs in Dante. For example, his fixation with mass-breeding mosquitoes pulses with a scheming mind that surely can’t be benevolent.

Wall Street Silver recently connected a supposed looming mosquito-borne pandemic to Gates' overenthusiastic farming of mosquitos. Here’s a video from the Bill Gates YouTube account describing the mosquito factory in Medellín, Colombia, where “scientists work long hours in muggy labs breeding millions and millions of mosquitoes.”

The Mosquito Factory youtu.be

Gates claims that the project aims to “outsmart the world’s deadliest animal.” Throughout a slick, flawless three-part blog post, Gates (or the PR team in charge of his output) makes the case for his World Mosquito Program.

The objective: “They tend to the insects’ every need as they grow from larvae to pupae to adults, keeping the temperature just right and feeding them generous helpings of fishmeal, sugar, and, of course, blood. Then, they release them across the country to breed with wild mosquitoes that can carry dengue and other viruses threatening to sicken and kill the population of Colombia. This might sound like the beginnings of a Hollywood writer’s horror film plot. But it’s not. This factory is real. And the mosquitoes being released don’t terrorize the local population. Far from it. They’re actually helping to save and improve millions of lives.”

It feels somewhat murderous in spirit. Or maybe 'sacrificial' is a better adjective.

But let’s think about things logically here: Surely Gates means what he says, right? Bill Gates doesn’t really want to reduce the human population like some cartoonish villain, right?

Right?

Why would a Big Tech billionaire passionate about deadly viruses be so interested in farming mosquitoes?

This is a villainous conclusion, no matter what, if any, good premises it might have arisen from. It’s sinister to conclude that mosquitos should be farmed, globally, in response to mosquito-born diseases. It feels somewhat murderous in spirit. Or maybe “sacrificial” is a better adjective.

The Associated Press, once known as the law-giving epicenter of objectivity journalism, of fact-giving that no longer exists, has collapsed into a swamp of fiendish activism. Activists attack anyone who doubts any tidbit of their cause.

You wind up with baffling contradictions like this: “The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation doesn’t finance any modified mosquito release projects in the U.S. And experts say the types of mosquitoes that are used for that initiative in Florida are not capable of transmitting malaria.” Which reads a bit like, “These mosquito farms don’t exist, you bigot. But also the mosquitos used in the mosquito farm that does exist are harmless. Also there will be a mosquito-fueled pandemic soon, just coincidentally.”

The man literally founded an initiative called “The World Mosquito Program.”

There’s a reason figures like Gates, George Soros, and Klaus Schwab are widely considered nasty: They fund ghastly initiatives in the name of progress. All they’re missing is a literal banner of the Inferno to follow them around everywhere.

For the past month or so, there’s been a cycle of stories, reels, and tweets about the goodness of the wealthy people on the Titanic who had moral courage. We all know that Gates would shove infants out of the way to get into a lifeboat. “Hey Bill, why are you rowing south, New York is that way?” Straight to Epstein Island.

Jeffrey Epstein threatened to expose Bill Gates' affair with Russian bridge player: Report



A bombshell report claims that Jeffrey Epstein appeared to threaten Bill Gates over his alleged extramarital affair with a Russian bridge player.

The Wall Street Journal reported that Gates met Mila Antonova around 2010, when the Russian bridge player was in her 20s. At the time, Gates was in his mid-50s, and he was married to Melinda French Gates. Gates reportedly had an affair with the young Russian woman.

In 2013, Epstein met Antonova and paid for her to attend software coding school.

"In 2017, Epstein emailed Gates and asked to be reimbursed for the cost of the course, according to the people familiar with the matter," the Wall Street Journal reported. "The email came after the convicted sex offender had struggled and failed to convince Gates to participate in a multibillion-dollar charitable fund that Epstein tried to establish with JPMorgan Chase."

The news outlet claims that Epstein appeared to threaten to reveal Gates' affair with Antonova if the Microsoft co-founder "didn’t keep up an association between the two men."

A spokesperson for Gates told the WSJ, "Mr. Gates met with Epstein solely for philanthropic purposes. Having failed repeatedly to draw Mr. Gates beyond these matters, Epstein tried unsuccessfully to leverage a past relationship to threaten Mr. Gates."

Antonova declined to comment on the Gates sex scandal.

She claimed that she didn't know who Jeffrey Epstein was when they met.

"I had no idea that he was a criminal or had any ulterior motive," the Russian bridge player said of Epstein. "I just thought he was a successful businessman and wanted to help. I am disgusted with Epstein and what he did."

Antonova allegedly met with Epstein in November 2013 at his townhouse to pitch a venture to promote the game of bridge.

Epstein did not fund the venture, but paid for her education.

“Epstein agreed to pay and he paid directly to the school. Nothing was exchanged. I don’t know why he did that,” Antonova said. “When I asked, he said something like, he was wealthy and wanted to help people when he could.”

In a 2010 YouTube video, Antonova talked about meeting Gates and playing against him in bridge.

Gates reportedly had more than a half dozen meetings scheduled with Epstein, beginning in 2011.

The New York Times reported in 2019:

In fact, beginning in 2011, Mr. Gates met with Mr. Epstein on numerous occasions — including at least three times at Mr. Epstein’s palatial Manhattan townhouse, and at least once staying late into the night, according to interviews with more than a dozen people familiar with the relationship, as well as documents reviewed by The New York Times.Employees of Mr. Gates’s foundation also paid multiple visits to Mr. Epstein’s mansion. And Mr. Epstein spoke with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and JPMorgan Chase about a proposed multibillion-dollar charitable fund — an arrangement that had the potential to generate enormous fees for Mr. Epstein.

In March 2013, Gates flew on Epstein’s Gulfstream plane from Teterboro Airport in New Jersey to Palm Beach, Florida, according to flight records.

A previous report from the Daily Beast claimed that Gates and his wife met with Epstein in 2013 while in New York City.

Melinda Gates was reportedly uncomfortable with the encounter with the convicted pedophile and furious over her husband's relationship with Epstein.

"Gates' friendship with Epstein — who for years was accused of molesting scores of underage girls — still haunts Melinda," the Daily Beast reported, citing friends of the couple.

Melinda Gates told "CBS Monrings" last year, "I did not like that [Bill] had meetings with Jeffrey Epstein. I made that clear to him. I also met Jeffrey Epstein exactly one time. I wanted to see who this man was, and I regretted it from the second I stepped in the door."

Melinda called Epstein "abhorrent, evil personified."

She added, "I had nightmares about it afterwards. That's why my heart breaks for these young women. That's how I felt, and I am an older woman. He was awful."

Melinda and Bill Gates announced they were getting divorced in May 2021, after 27 years of marriage.

In a January 2023 interview, Gates became frustrated when asked about his relationship with Epstein.

"I said that I'm— this is going way back in time, but yeah I will say for the over 100th time, yeah I shouldn't have had dinners with him," Gates said.

When the interviewer noted that Epstein was known for "sexually compromising people," Gates lashed out, "No, I mean. No. I had dinner with him and that's all."

Epstein pleaded guilty to felony soliciting and procuring a minor for prostitution in 2008.

Epstein died from an alleged suicide on Aug. 10, 2019, at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York City while awaiting his sex trafficking trial.

The Wall Street Journal reported in April that Epstein met with a CIA director, leftist Noam Chomsky, Obama's White House counsel, and a Rothschild.

Bill Gates gets nervous when reporter confronts him about relationship with Jeffrey Epstein: 'For the over 100th time'



Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates became visibly uncomfortable when a reporter confronted him about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.

ABC Australia reporter Sarah Ferguson asked Gates in an interview that aired Monday whether he feels "regret" for having "maintained" a relationship with Epstein "despite Melinda's advice and wishes," referring to his ex-wife Melinda French Gates.

Gates, clearly uncomfortable and annoyed with the question, admitted that he does.

"I said that I'm— this is going way back in time, but yeah I will say for the over 100th time, yeah I shouldn't have had dinners with him," Gates said.

Despite his reticence, Ferguson pushed the issue farther. Noting that "Epstein had a way of sexually compromising people," she asked whether Melinda had warned Gates about putting himself in such a position.

"No, I mean its—" Gates responded before taking a brief pause. "No. I had dinner with him and that's all."

When Ferguson asked whether Gates regretted any connection between Epstein and his charitable efforts, Gates denied that any such relationship had existed.

The New York Times, however, alleged in an infamous 2019 story that Gates and Epstein did maintain some type of relationship.

In fact, beginning in 2011, Mr. Gates met with Mr. Epstein on numerous occasions — including at least three times at Mr. Epstein’s palatial Manhattan townhouse, and at least once staying late into the night, according to interviews with more than a dozen people familiar with the relationship, as well as documents reviewed by The New York Times.

Gates has denied being Epstein's friend. Last year, he said that meeting with Epstein was a "huge mistake."

What has Melinda said?

Melinda Gates admitted in an interview that she had once met Epstein, whom she described as "evil personified," and said she repeatedly warned Gates about meeting with him.

"I did not like that [Bill] had meetings with Jeffrey Epstein," she said. "I made that clear to him. I also met Jeffrey Epstein exactly one time. I wanted to see who this man was, and I regretted it from the second I stepped in the door."

Melinda Gates drops bombshell about marriage with Bill Gates, discusses friendship with 'abhorrent, evil' Jeffrey Epstein in first post-divorce interview



Melinda Gates harshly criticized her ex-husband Bill Gates in her first post-split interview — a discussion with "CBS Mornings" host Gayle King, the Daily Mail has reported.

What are the details?

During the interview, Melinda told King that her first — and purportedly only — meeting with accused pedophile Jeffrey Epstein left her having nightmares.

The 57-year-old billionaire told King that she immediately regretted meeting Epstein.

"He was abhorrent, evil personified," she recalled. "I had nightmares about it afterwards. That's why my heart breaks for these young women. That's how I felt, and I am an older woman. He was awful."

She said that she made crystal clear to Bill her feelings about Epstein.

"I did not like that [Bill] had meetings with Jeffrey Epstein," she said. "I made that clear to him. I also met Jeffrey Epstein exactly one time. I wanted to see who this man was, and I regretted it from the second I stepped in the door."

Melinda also appeared to suggest that her ex-husband's friendship with Epstein contributed to the divorce.

"It was not one thing, it was many things," she said when asked if the Epstein relationship prompted the divorce. "Any of the questions remaining about what Bill's relationship with him was ... those are for Bill to answer. I made it very clear how I felt about him."

Bill has previously stated that being cordial with Epstein was a "huge mistake."

She also suggested that Bill had multiple affairs throughout the couple's 27-year marriage.

Melinda told King that she had forgiven Bill for an affair that had taken place in 2000, but said that he had to answer to reports of multiple affairs.

"Those are questions Bill needs to answer," she said.

She added that once trust has been broken, it's nearly impossible to get it back.

"It wasn't one moment or one specific thing that happened, there just came a point in time where there was enough there that I realized it just wasn't healthy, and I couldn't trust what we had," Melinda admitted.

"I gave every single piece of myself to this marriage," she said. "I was committed from the day we got engaged to the day I got out of it."

Melinda also added that while she and Gates are not friends, she does "wish him well."

"We certainly have a working relationship. We are friendly at this point," she explained. "Friends is a different word for me. That might come over time but for me there is still healing that needs to happen. I wish him well. I certainly don't wish him any harm."

4 Takeaways From Bill And Melinda Gates’s Divorce

That ‘new’ feeling gray divorcées are chasing is fleeting. At some point, they will wind up in the same spot they were in with their exes.

Melinda Gates reportedly furious over relationship between husband Bill Gates and Jeffrey Epstein



A new report states that Melinda Gates was very uncomfortable with a meeting that took place between her husband, Bill Gates, and late accused pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

The meeting allegedly caused major problems between Bill and Melinda and purportedly damaged their relationship.

The Gateses announced their intent to divorce on social media this week.

What are the details?

According to a Thursday report from the Daily Beast, the couple met with Epstein in 2013 while in New York City.

Gates was still Microsoft's chairman at the time of the meeting.

Following the meeting, Melinda reportedly told her husband that she was furious at the relationship between him and Epstein and felt incredibly uncomfortable with the encounter.

"Gates' friendship with Epstein — who for years was accused of molesting scores of underage girls — still haunts Melinda, according to friends of the couple who spoke to The Daily Beast this week in light of the pair's divorce announcement, which had been weeks in the making," the outlet reported.

Bill reportedly also met with Epstein several times beginning in 2011 to solicit donations for a charitable fund — three years after the late accused pedophile pleaded guilty to soliciting a young girl. He also reportedly rode aboard Epstein's private jet during one occasion in 2013.

Bill has previously said that he never had any business relationships with the late billionaire financier and that he never had any private meetings with Epstein.

In 2019, Bill said, "I met [Epstein]. I didn't have any business relationship or friendship with him. I didn't go to New Mexico or Florida or Palm Beach or any of that. There were people around him who were saying, 'Hey, if you want to raise money for global health and get more philanthropy, he knows a lot of rich people.' Every meeting where I was with him were meetings with men. I was never at any parties or anything like that. He never donated any money to anything that I know about."

The outlet also noted that Boris Nikolic — Harvard Medical school grad and "former adviser to Gates" who was "mysteriously named a backup executor in Epstein's last will and testament" — reportedly acted as a go-between for Bill and Epstein.

The outlet reported that no spokesperson for either Bill or Melinda responded to requests for comments on the report. A spokesperson for Nikolic also did not respond to the outlet's request for a statement.

Bill and Melinda Gates announce they are getting divorced after 27 years of marriage



Bill and Melinda Gates announced Monday that they are ending their 27-year marriage, but will continue to work together to run their charitable foundation.

What are the details?

The statement posted by Bill and Melinda on social media reads:

"After a great deal of thought and a lot of work on our relationship, we have made the decision to end our marriage. Over the last 27 years, we have raised three incredible children and built a foundation that works all over the world to enable all people to lead healthy, productive lives. We continue to share a belief in that mission and will continue our work together at the foundation, but we no longer believe we can grow together as a couple in this next phase of our lives. We ask for space and privacy for our family as we begin to navigate this new life."

Forbes noted that Bill Gates — the co-founder of Microsoft and one of the wealthiest people in the world — is estimated to be worth over $130 billion. The outlet reported that he stepped down from his company in 2020 "to focus on the Gates Foundation during the coronavirus pandemic."

According to Fox Business, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation "is the largest private charitable foundation," and the couple has given tens of billions of dollars to philanthropic endeavors.

The couple has three children — Jennifer, 25; Phoebe, 18; and Rory, 21 — and have their main home outside of Seattle in Washington state.

Anything else?

The Daily Mail pointed out that the Gates' split is "the biggest divorce since" Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, who announced the end of his 25-year marriage to MacKenzie Scott in early 2019. The couple's divorce was finalized in July of that year.

Bezos has traded spots with Tesla founder Elon Musk as the richest person in the world in recent years.

Scott received a 4% share in Amazon in her split with Bezos, making her one of the richest women on the planet. According to Fox Business, she is estimated to have walked away with roughly $38 billion in the divorce. She has already given away billions to charity.
