When these men give that much money to Kamala Harris – there is a reason behind it. They are paying for something in advance to influence her and expect payback.
Is Khosla trying to help Harris destroy the U.S. since he is a Native American and the settlers took his ancestors land away from them and put them on reservations? He knows what Harris plans to do to the U.S. which is take away their ownership and money.
JD Vance calls out Harris donor who doubled down on Biden’s ‘garbage’ comment
Former President Trump’s running mate, Sen. JD Vance, R-Ohio, called out how one of Kamala Harris’ “biggest donors is doubling down on calling half the country ‘garbage.'”
Vinod Khosla, co-founder of the giant tech company Sun Microsystems, wrote on X “Garbage is an understatement for MAGA extremists.” He responded to a story by the Associated Press titled, “Biden suggests Trump supporters are ‘garbage’ after comic’s insult of Puerto Rico.”
“Will Kamala and her campaign return his contributions?” Vance wrote Wednesday. “Or will they continue to insult half of the country for the sin of thinking Kamala Harris isn’t good at her job?”
Khosla is a billionaire and Democratic megadonor. In June, he gave $413,000 to the Harris Action Fund, a political action committee that supports the vice president. He previously donated $100,000 to the PAC in June 2023 and made two separate $3,300 donations to the Biden for President campaign, which Harris took over after President Biden withdrew from the election.

The Harris campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Harris addressed Biden’s controversial remark Wednesday, telling reporters that the president “clarified his comments.”
“I strongly disagree with any criticism of people based on who they vote for,” she said, adding that Biden called her the night before but his remarks didn’t come up.
Biden sparked controversy during a Zoom call on Tuesday with Voto Latino, one of the largest Latino voter and civic outreach organizations in the U.S. On the call, Biden was asked about a comment made Sunday during a Trump rally at Madison Square Garden in which comedian Tony Hinchcliffe called Puerto Rico a “floating island of garbage.”

“The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters,” Biden said.
Amid backlash, Biden claimed he was referring to only Hinchcliffe, and the White House released a transcript of the call that said “supporter’s,” in the possessive.

“Earlier today I referred to the hateful rhetoric about Puerto Rico spewed by Trump’s supporter at his Madison Square Garden rally as garbage—which is the only word I can think of to describe it. His demonization of Latinos is unconscionable. That’s all I meant to say. The comments at that rally don’t reflect who we are as a nation,” Biden posted on X. 
Though Harris has not commented on Biden’s remark, her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, discussed it on “Good Morning America” on Wednesday.
“The president’s clarified his remarks, but let’s be very clear. The vice president and I have made it absolutely clear that we want everyone as a part of this. Donald Trump’s divisive rhetoric is what needs to end. He called this a garbage country and continues on from ‘the enemy within.’ What you heard Vice President Harris say and what I say is, there’s a place for all of us here, and I think that’s the one. She’s running for president. She’s making the message and she delivered that speech on the Ellipse that showed what we can be as a country,” said Walz.
“So, I think America knows the direction we’re going. She’s laid out a new way forward, and that’s what we’re going to do for the next six days and then the next eight years after that.”

These people are giving her all of this money and she can’t even give a coherent answer about her policies? What are we missing here? Were these people born in the USA? Are they part of Soros’ One World Order?

What are we missing? They are selling out our DEMOCRACY.
They made their money through the capitalistic system – what are they ashamed of?

(Google is not allowing the above photo to be printed.)More than 800 powerful venture capitalists organized to pledge support for Kamala Harris.
(If they are backing her why are they ashamed to show their photo?)
(What are they hiding? I would have thought Cuban was smart enough to spot a FAKE. Didn’t he come from Cuba a dictatorship island? He played the capitalist system until he got rich and now he wants the country to be like Cuba.)
- Current and former CEOs separately worked together to sign a letter endorsing Harris.
- Here are the biggest signatories and their history with the historic election cycle.
Vice President Kamala Harris hasn’t had any trouble raising money — in fact, she has raked in $1 billion in fewer than three months. And though some of her money comes from grassroots donors, billionaires and private sector leaders have dumped eye-popping sums into her campaign.
Venture capitalists were among some of the earliest tech moguls to organize behind Harris, even as the once decidedly liberal Silicon Valley splinters this election. As figures like Elon Musk, Marc Andreessen, and David Sacks publicly backed former President Donald Trump, a group of powerful venture capitalists combined forces to declare their support for Harris through an effort dubbed “VCsForKamala.”
By late August, more than 800 venture capitalists pledged to vote and solicit donations for Harris through the group’s website. According to one of the organizers, the original signatories represent a combined $150 billion in assets under management. The current signatories represent a combined $276 billion, according to the group’s founders.
“We are pro-business, pro-American dream, pro-entrepreneurship, and pro-technological progress,” reads a statement on the VCsForKamala’s website. “We also believe in democracy as the backbone of our nation.”
Harris, who was born in Oakland, has garnered support from dozens of leaders in her backyard supportive of her pro-business policies. In September, the effort by business and tech leaders stretched from coast to coast. A group of 88 prominent Wall Street and tech executives jointly signed a letter endorsing Harris, writing that she is “the best way to support continued strength, security, and reliability of our democracy and economy.” The leaders also celebrated her support for small businesses. And in October, private sector titans banned together to launch “Business Leaders for Harris,” an effort to woo more conservative-leaning voters by emphasizing Harris’ economic strengths.
Here are some of the biggest names on the VCsForKamala list and recent letter of corporate leaders.

- Michael Bloomberg donated $50 million to a nonprofit supporting Harris’ campaign, per the NYT.
- Other billionaires and Democratic donors pressured Bloomberg to make a donation for months.
- It remains unclear why Bloomberg, known for public donations, wanted the gift to remain private.
Michael Bloomberg, the former New York City mayor and presidential candidate, recently donated around $50 million to a nonprofit organization supporting Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign, according to the New York Times. The check, however, reportedly only came after months of pressure from other billionaires and Democratic donors.
Though Bloomberg typically makes public campaign donations, he intended for this contribution to remain secret, the Times reported. He funneled the money to Future Forward USA Action, the arm of Harris’ primary super PAC that deals in dark money. Worth an approximate $105 billion according to Forbes, the 82-year-old has a pattern of making donations late in the election cycle.
Harris has demonstrated remarkable fundraising capabilities, from grassroots donors and the mega-wealthy alike. Some of her most prominent supporters include business titans from either coast, including prominent Wall Street executives and Silicon Valley leaders. Bloomberg refrained from shelling out big bucks even as figures like LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman and Microsoft founder Bill Gates urged him to do so.
The former mayor recently sat down with Harris’ economic team to discuss her agenda, the Times reported, as part of an attempt to make him feel respected. Harris herself hopped on a call with the billionaire, and he donated the money soon after, according to the Times. It remains unclear why he wanted the contribution to remain private.
Despite only becoming a registered Democrat in 2018, Bloomberg is the second largest known individual donor to Democrats this cycle, behind George Soros. Apart from his secretive $50 million gift, he has doled out $47 million in federally disclosed contributions. Yet the sum pales in comparison to his 2020 donations, when he spent $173 million, not including the $1.1 billion he directed toward his own campaign.
Trump has amassed his own army of billionaire donors, including Elon Musk and Timothy Mellon.
A representative for Bloomberg didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.

Google really did mess with this blog of mine. Why are these people so ashamed of giving her the money?
