Globalist billionaire Bill Gates has sparked widespread alarm after warning that looming “water shortages” will soon trigger “the biggest mass mortality event the world has ever seen.”

In a disturbing viral video clip, Gates then warns of “billions of people dying” before appearing to point toward the United States Water Reserve as the answer.

The chilling remarks have sent social media into overdrive, with critics questioning why one of the world’s most influential billionaires is sounding the alarm about a resource every human being depends on to survive.

The short clip begins with Gates warning that water shortages could become the largest mass mortality event in history.

He then escalates the warning by referring to “billions of people dying.”

The clip goes on to suggest that investment in the United States Water Reserve could help address the crisis.

Bill Gates Warns of 'Billions of People Dying' from Looming 'Water Shortages'

Earlier this year, Indiana Republicans defied Trump and refused to engage in a mid-decade redistricting effort that would have netted more GOP seats, as other Republican states had done.

And now, one of those state lawmakers who opposed the Trump-backed plan is resigning his position in the Senate.

“Serving as the President Pro Tem of the Senate for eight years has been among the most significant honors of my life, but it’s time for the Senate to choose another leader,” state Sen. Rodric Bray, who was against the redistricting plan, said on Thursday.

WASHINGTON — Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) has made at least $174,000 annually for nearly eight years as a member of Congress, but like many of her “Squad” colleagues, she has yet to put a substantial dent in her student loan debt, according to House financial disclosures.

The Bronx and Queens Democrat has owed between $15,001 and $50,000 in federal student loan debt since her election to the House in 2018. That’s the same amount she owes now, according to her August disclosure, where lawmakers report ranges for debt and income.

The “Tax the Rich!” pol reported less than $81,000 in total assets.

Recently, Ocasio-Cortez has suggested that she’d been saving up for some time instead to freeze her eggs, a process that can cost between $10,000 and $20,000 per cycle.

Ocasio-Cortez amassed the loans while attending Boston University as an international relations and economics major between August 2007 and May 2011 — and went on to tend bar in Manhattan before her successful run for Congress.

The “Squad” Democrat has consistently backed student debt cancellation. During former President Joe Biden’s term, she even pushed the 46th commander-in-chief to cancel as much as $50,000 in debt per student borrower. But she’s not the only US lawmaker who’s still holding student loans.

Alaska Democratic Senate hopeful Mary Peltola rejected support this week from former Vice President Kamala Harris, who lost the state by double-digits in her failed 2024 presidential campaign.

“Alaska is a must-win Senate seat for Democrats to retake control of the Senate,” Harris wrote in a fundraising email, urging the public to “help Mary Peltola get the support she needs” by splitting a donation between Peltola’s campaign and the ex-veep’s Fight for the People PAC.

Harris continued, “So if there’s anyone who can flip Alaska and secure the Senate majority for Democrats – it’s Mary. But she cannot do it alone.”

“When we all stand behind Mary, we can give her the boost she needs to overcome their spending and organize across Alaska,” the former vice president added.

Peltola, a former congresswoman who flipped Alaska’s at-large congressional seat blue in 2022, was not interested in Harris’ support.

“Mary isn’t seeking endorsements from anyone from the Lower 48 — her focus is and always will be Alaska,” a campaign spokeswoman told the New York Times.

The outlet said the Peltola campaign did not approve the fundraising email.

Harris lost Alaska to Trump in the 2024 presidential election by a whopping 14 percentage points.

Notably, Peltola did not endorse Harris in the 2024 race.

A Georgia financial advising CEO was sentenced Friday to 20 years behind bars for masterminding a $380 million Ponzi scheme to fund his lavish lifestyle of yachts, private jets and luxury shopping.

Todd Burkhalter, the founder of Atlanta-area Drive Planning LLC, orchestrated one of Georgia’s largest schemes and stole millions from over 2,000 investors in the years-long con.

Burkhalter, 59, was ordered to serve two decades in federal prison by US District Court Judge Tiffany R. Johnson, while two of his executives were sentenced to less than five years for their roles this week.

Burkhalter’s attorneys had asked for a 14-year sentence while federal prosecutors recommended 17 and a half years as part of a plea deal back in January.

The Florida executive had pleaded to wire fraud charges following a years-long investigation into the shady ventures.

Between September 2020 and June 2024, Drive Planning marketed investment opportunities to potential investors to secure nearly $400 million in funds, even immediately using the money to pay off early investors.

Burkhalter then used the pool of cash for high-end personal spending, including buying a $2 million yacht, a $2.1 million condo in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, dropped $800,000 on vehicles, including a motorcoach and two Land Rovers.

He also spent millions on luxury travel, chartering private jets, $800,000 to pay his ex-wife’s attorney and another $320,000 on clothing, jewelry, and beauty treatments.

Democratic Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer said Thursday President Donald Trump has helped her deliver for the state, pointing to a specific fighter jet mission she tried to secure during the Biden administration but couldn’t.

Whitmer spoke to Newsom on his podcast, “This is Gavin Newsom,” and said she needed to figure out how to conduct herself after the 2024 presidential election because her state had voted for Trump again.

Newsom noted Whitmer had visited the White House, and the pair both agreed a working relationship with the president was “part of the job.”

“I’ve gotten some really good stuff done. Honestly,” she told Newsom. “I got a fighter mission at Selfridge Air National Guard Base, and I tried to get that done under the Biden administration, couldn’t get over the finish line, but I got it done with him. So, that’s a huge deal to Michigan.”

Whitmer appeared to be referring to Mission Next, which will replace the retiring A-10 Warthog aircraft based at Selfridge Air National Guard Base in Michigan with 21 brand-new F-15EX Eagle II fighter jets.

The mission is part of a modernization plan for the National Guard Base, according to the National Guard’s website, which includes construction and infrastructure upgrades that will create jobs and new training opportunities.

once a parasitic psychopath, always a parasitic psychopath (as are most of our leaders today)

Six months ago, the darling of the far-left—Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who just defeated a 10-term Democratic incumbent in Queens—was working as a bartender in Lower Manhattan.

One of her coworkers is now accusing the self-proclaimed socialist of stealing tips from the rest of the wait staff.

According to the New York Post’s venerable gossip site, Page Six, one unnamed waitress explained that Ocasio-Cortez tended bar at Manhattan’s Flats Fix and, when it came time to divide up the tips, Ocasio-Cortez didn’t want to spread the wealth around.

Page Six wrote:

“But one waitress has a bad memory of working with Ocasio-Cortez, 28, as Ocasio-Cortez tended bar during the very busy Cinco de Mayo celebration in 2017.

At the end of the night, when it came time to split the $560 in tips she had gotten at the bar, Ocasio-Cortez gave the waitress only $50. After the waitress complained to her manager, her take was doubled to $100, a source said.

“It says so much about her character,” said my source. “From that point on, I wouldn’t talk to her. I couldn’t look at her.”

Ocasio-Cortez, who has been very actively using social media to combat attacks against her from both Republicans and fellow Democrats, has not responded to Page Six’s accusation.
