Bill Gates went to the White House and begged Secretary of State Marco Rubio to unwind the DOGE cuts to foreign aid, Tara Palmeri reports.

But the secretary of State “informed Gates that even with Musk out, they have no plans to reverse the cuts.”

Children surviving childhood means overpopulation which means migration and immigrants dilute our pure American blood.

But thanks for trying, Gates.
