Establishment right-leaning Forbes previously tweeted about an article they posted which identified the top American billionaire philanthropists. The top 3 at that time, according to Forbes? Warren Buffett, Bill Gates, and George Soros. Fast-forward to Business Insider’s report on 6.25.2022: “Some of America’s most prominent billionaires have denounced the overturning of Roe v. Wade, as Warren Buffett reportedly sets in motion plans…” Their headline said: “Bill Gates and George Soros Among Billionaires Denouncing Roe Decision.” That is the top result on 7.9.2022 at about 3:41 PM ET for a Google search of – george soros bill gates warren buffett (see search results further below). The number 2 result for that Google search is found on MHLivingNews at this link here. Then “Billionaires Bill Gates, George Soros Slam Supreme Court’s Abortion Decision” said left-leaning Bloomberg on June 24.2022, that’s the third result for that 3-name search on Google. Like Business Insider, Bloomberg said: “Abortion-rights causes could be about to receive a major boost from another prominent billionaire: Warren Buffett.” Buffett has not hidden his support for abortion, as MHProNews has previously reported here, here, and here. For those queasy about business news mentioning the divisive topic of abortion, notice that Bloomberg, Business Insider, and numerous others in media across the left-right divide haven’t hidden the topic from their readers. Agree or not, abortion is a ‘wedge’ issue long used by Democrats – and numbers of that party’s billionaire backers, as this teaser reflects. That noted, the WND NewsCenter look at this is topic provided to MHProNews is shown below. “Everything is political” is a quotation uttered by several informed individuals, including Paul Krugman, and Kenneth Craycraft. A question this Democratic strategy to raises the profile of the abortion issue while inflation is the runaway #1 topic in America as the midterms approach is this. Are billionaires and Democratic leaders like Joe Biden prudent to make abortion a core campaign topic? Is their timing right when Hispanics, Blacks and others are worried about rising costs of food, fuel, and housing are among the groups reportedly moving increasingly toward the GOP as the November 8, 2022 midterms approach?
These are America’s top philanthropic givers:
1. Warren Buffett
2. Bill & Melinda Gates

George Soros declares war on Supreme Court, GOP
‘Domestic enemies of democracy’ pose greater threat than China, Russia
On Independence Day, billionaire activist George Soros effectively declared war on the United States Supreme Court and the Republican Party.
“The American public has been alarmed and aroused by the US Supreme Court’s growing extremism,” Soros wrote in a piece on his site Project Syndicate that was spotlighted by the Gateway Pundit.
“But voters need to recognize the Court’s radical majority for what it is: part of a carefully laid plan to turn the US into a repressive regime.”
Meanwhile, violent crime has risen substantially in major cities with progressive district attorneys whose campaigns were bankrolled by Soros. Among the DAs is Kim Foxx of Cook County, Illinois, which has recorded more murders in this year than any year since 1994.
In his opinion piece, Soros charged that “democracy is now gravely endangered” and asserted “the threat to the US from the domestic enemies of democracy is even greater” than the threat from foreign enemies such as China and Russia.
The “domestic enemies,” he said, include a Supreme Court “dominated by far-right extremists, and Donald Trump’s Republican Party, which placed those extremists on the Court.”
Soros objected in particular to Justice Samuel Alito’s majority opinion in the Mississippi abortion case that overturned the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision.
“There is only one way to rein in the Supreme Court: throw the Republican Party out of office in a landslide,” Soros wrote.
He acknowledged it won’t be easy to defeat “the radicalized Republicans,” who have “stacked the Supreme Court and many lower courts with extremist judges.”
“In states such as Florida, Georgia, and Texas, they have enacted a raft of laws that make voting very difficult,” he said, referring to election integrity laws such a requiring voter ID.
He claimed the objective is not to make sure that every vote counts, but “disenfranchising African-Americans, other minorities, and young voters generally” in an effort to win elections.
“We must do everything we can,” he wrote, “to prevent” the Republicans from retaking the majority in Congress this November. ##
The Sky News video montage that follows was not part of the WND report. It includes some closing observations from Glen Greenwald.
What the Soros, Gates, Buffett et al Announcements Reveal
Besides their obvious support for abortion, the remarks are another reminder of something MHProNews has reported for years. Namely, that many of the top U.S. billionaires routinely favor the Democratic Party. They may on occasion support this or that Republican, but their support for Democrats was noteworthy in the 2020 election cycle, as our reports on the Civic Alliance, other hedge funds, and the Buffett-Gates-Soros connection revealed.
How these billionaires intersect has been a topic raised by longtime or lifelong Democrat backers, such as Greenwald, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and Naomi Wolf to name but three previously covered by MHProNews.
Only about a minute or so of the video above that opened with Tucker Carlson talking about ‘the elites’ becoming out of touch with the Democratic base, with the example of the special election in Texas that recently made Representative Mayra Nohemi Flores (TX-34-R) the first Mexican-born Hispanic in Congress. Flores captured a seat held by Democrats since the 1870s. The rest of that Sky News video explores the signals that mark Hispanic drift toward the GOP, before closing with Carlson and Greenwald discussing the direction of Democratic Party. There are other examples that Democratic strategists quietly acknowledge, such as the increasing lock on Florida that Governor Ron DeSantis has. That’s due in part, say analysts, to more Hispanics of all ages voting Republican.
But if Hispanics are slipping away from Democrats to Republicans, what about the Black vote? And what does this portend for the business-related policies that could be shifting soon in Washington, D.C.?
Don’t miss today’s postscript.
It is obvious that public policies impact the business climate. Those who ignore the intersection between politics and business do so at their own peril. Buffett, Gates, and Soros don’t miss those ties. Rather, they utilize that intersection of business and politics in an effort to build their respective moats. So, by connecting those dots through reports like this one, MHProNews seeks to provide the most complete and balanced coverage of any manufactured housing trade media, period.
With no further adieu, let’s pivot toward the headlines for the week that was from 7.3 to 7.10.2022.

Postscript
Right-leaning Breitbart reported on 7.7.2022 that: “75% of Black Americans Say Inflation is Very Important for 2022 Midterms.” The often-edgy media outlet said: “It’s going to be a Bidenflation election.” If so, that’s bad news for Soros, Buffett, Gates, and others that think that a pro-abortion strategy may be a key for their holding onto Congress during the upcoming midterm election.
Breitbart went on to say that: “Nearly two-thirds of Americans say inflation will be “very important” when deciding how to vote in the midterm election, the latest poll from YouGov and the Economist shows.” It then noted:
- “The poll, taken over the long Independence Day weekend, found 73 percent of Americans say inflation will be very important. Another 20 percent say it will be somewhat important.”
- “The figure rises to 75 percent for black Americans.”
A special report on Black and other ethnic and demographic groups and manufactured housing is pending on MHProNews. It will tie together research from the left and right that reflects the growing concern for Democrats that Blacks are increasingly questioning if that party accurately reflects their values.
The trending shift under the PINO Biden regime away from Democrats and moving toward MAGA Republicans, often representing views more closely aligned with deposed President Donald J. Trump will be important to unpack politically and, on the business/investment levels.
But it will be equally important to look at these trends through the lens of opportunities to serve more minorities and other Americans who previously were not as engaged with manufactured housing as the report linked here indicates they are now.
MHProNews seeks out and finds the facts, evidence, historic, trends, and other data that can be useful for white-hat independents and affordable housing/manufactured home seekers alike. Stay tune to what individuals inside the Black community are saying about politics and how that may play out for manufactured housing.
