George Soros, the globalist billionaire who has already pumped more than $32 billion into his Open Society Foundations, just redirected $300 million back into the United States with one goal: destroying President Trump's agenda. The announcement came Tuesday, and the sheer brazenness of it should make your blood boil.
But sure, we're the "threat to democracy."
The Open Society Foundations — Soros's sprawling network that has spent years funding activist operations in Africa and the Middle East — is now pivoting its focus back to domestic operations, according to Newsmax's Lee Barney. That means $300 million aimed squarely at litigation, voting-rights challenges, and campaigns targeting economic inequality, affordable housing, childcare, healthcare, and wage protections. In other words, the entire Democrat wish list, bankrolled by one foreign-born billionaire.
Leading the charge is Laleh Ispahani, OSF's managing director for the United States. Her background? Former senior policy counsel at the ACLU. Shocked? Me neither.
Ispahani told reporters, "We certainly believe that civil society is essential and must stay on the playing field." She went on to cite Trump administration policies and Supreme Court rulings as the reason for the spending spree, saying, "It's pretty clear to us that today these rights are being rolled back, including the right to protest, civil rights and voting rights."
Translation: voters elected Trump, the Supreme Court upheld the Constitution, and Soros doesn't like it. So he's writing a check.
The OSF specifically referenced Louisiana v. Callais, a Supreme Court voting-rights case, as part of their litigation strategy. Because when you can't win at the ballot box, you sue. And when you can't win in court on the merits, you spend $300 million making sure you get to keep trying.
Here's what kills me. The left spent years screaming about "dark money in politics" and "billionaires buying elections." They held congressional hearings about it. They wrote op-eds. They made documentaries.
And their biggest donor just cut a $300 million check — publicly, on a Tuesday — to oppose a sitting president's entire policy platform. Not a peep from the "money out of politics" crowd.
Meanwhile, Soros himself was too busy to announce the initiative personally. His son Alexander Soros accepted a Civil Rights Prize on his behalf in Berlin. Because of course he did. Nothing says "American civil society" like collecting awards in Germany while your foundation wages war on the policies American voters chose.
Let's be clear about what this is. This isn't philanthropy. This isn't charity. This is a man who has donated over $32 billion to reshape countries around the world now pointing that firehose of cash directly at the United States because we had the audacity to elect someone he doesn't control.
$300 million. That's the price tag Soros just put on overriding your vote.
Good luck with that, George. We've beaten your money before.
