Alex Soros huddled with top Democrats shortly after taking over his father's nonprofit empire
By Joe Schoffstall , Cameron Cawthorne
Alex Soros, son of billionaire financier George Soros, huddled with high-ranking Democrats shortly after taking the reins of the powerful Open Society Foundations (OSF), continuing his long-running trend of privately meeting with influential politicians and publicly posting the encounters.
The meeting appears to be his first with federal lawmakers since he's taken control of his father's robust multibillion-dollar nonprofit network that injects vast sums into left-wing endeavors.
On June 11, OSF announced Alex would take over the network after the elder Soros did not want to hand it to any of his children. George, however, ultimately said, "He's earned it."
Days after the announcement, Alex hosted a New York event featuring House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and other top Empire State Democrats, including Reps. Jerry Nadler and Gregory Meeks, according to an Instagram post.
"Back in a New York minute to host distinct members of the New York for hmp with [Rep. Hakeem Jeffries] and members of the New York house delegation, [Rep. Pat Ryan, Rep. Jerry Nadler, Rep. Gregory Meeks, Rep. Ritchie Torres] on their quest to take the back [sic] the 2024 majority! And always supporting the sneaker caucus!" Alex wrote June 17.
Alex's social media profiles have dozens of pictures of him and leading House and Senate Democrats since 2018. The two who appear the most are Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York and then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of California. Alex had at least nine meetings with Schumer, whom he referred to as his "good friend."
Alex had at least eight visits with Pelosi, calling her the "greatest Speaker of the House in American History!"

Alex has enjoyed extensive access to the Biden White House and seems to be maintaining the direct line as he now steers one of the most prominent liberal foundations in America. After handing over control, George said they "think alike," but Alex noted he is "more political."
Alex has visited the White House at least 17 times since 2021, according to a previous Fox News Digital review of visitor logs. His most recent visits included three meetings between Feb. 8-10, and the logs list Jon Finer, the principal deputy national security adviser; Jordan Finkelstein, special assistant to the president and the chief of staff for senior Biden adviser Anita Dunn; and Mariana Adame, the adviser to the counselor of the president, as those greeting Alex.
While those individuals are listed in the records, it remains unclear who he may have met with for the sessions. The documents can contain White House staff who book appointments, meet the guests and take them to other personnel, ultimately concealing the intended meeting host.

For instance, a White House official confirmed to Fox News Digital in January that two of Alex's past visits were with Ron Klain, Biden's former chief of staff, who was not listed in the records. OSF did not answer previous questions on the nature of his meetings, and the White House did not respond to an inquiry.
Alex has also donated millions to Democrats over the past several years, albeit far less than his father. Since the 2018 elections, Alex has poured more than $5 million into federal political coffers. Records show that his largest contribution was $2 million to the Schumer-aligned Senate Majority PAC during this time.
Alex pushed over $700,000 into the Biden Victory Fund in 2020, putting him among its top donors. He's provided hundreds of thousands in additional cash to the Nancy Pelosi Victory Fund, Democratic National Committee and Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC). He's also given tens of thousands more to state Democratic parties and individual campaigns, many of which were maximum contributions.
Alex, now 37 years old, attempted to differentiate himself from his father while in his 20s as a Ph.D. student at UC Berkeley by launching the Alexander Soros Foundation.
"If I don't succeed, then I'm just another lazy deadbeat trust fund kid," he told The New York Times in 2012. The nonprofit has appeared to be more of an afterthought.
An OSF spokesperson did not respond to a request for comment on Alex's meetings with Democratic lawmakers.

The "new" Lord's Prayer embracing our heathen/hedonistic society because we have a crisis of confidence..
Sent to me by a dear friend and fellow memo reader.
Since we have downgraded religion as a force in our lives and allowed insanity to trash our adherence to any constitutional dictates our society has fallen apart and disintegrated. We have allowed The Trojan Horse of socialism and communism to creep into our society like termites and erode our sense of morality, our standards and threaten our precious freedoms which sets us apart from most other nations.
"Woe is us."

Lord's Prayer - The Lord's Prayer is not allowed in most US Public schools any more.
A kid in Minnesota wrote the following NEW School Prayer
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now I sit me down in school, Where praying is against the rule
For this great nation under God, Finds mention of Him very odd
If scripture now the class recites, It violates the Bill of Rights.
And anytime my head I bow, Becomes a Federal matter now
Our hair can be purple, orange or green, That's no offense; it's a freedom scene.
The law is specific, the law is precise, Prayers spoken aloud are a serious vice
For praying in a public hall, Might offend someone with no faith at all.
In silence alone we must meditate, God's name is prohibited by the State.
We're allowed to cuss and dress like freaks, And pierce our noses, tongues and cheeks.
They've outlawed guns, but FIRST the Bible, To quote the Good Book makes me liable.
We can elect a pregnant Senior Queen, And the 'unwed daddy,' our Senior King.
It's 'inappropriate' to teach right from wrong, We're taught that such 'judgments' do not belong.
We can get our condoms and birth controls, Study witchcraft, vampires and totem poles
But the Ten Commandments are not allowed, No word of God must reach this crowd.
It's scary here I must confess, When chaos reigns the school's a mess.
So, Lord, this silent plea I make: Should I be shot; My soul please take!

Wish we had a president who took no crap.!

Netanyahu: Jenin became a haven for terror; we're putting a stop to it
PM speaks of military operation in Jenin.
Netanyahu and Gallant
At the end of a security situational assessment, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu commented on the military operation in Jenin and said that "the IDF last night launched an extensive operation against terrorist targets in Jenin. In recent months, Jenin has become a haven for terrorism - we are putting an end to it."
"Our forces entered Jenin into the nests of terrorists - they eliminate terrorists, they arrest wanted persons, they destroy headquarters and seize many weapons, and they do another thing - they destroy laboratories on an almost industrial scale. Laboratories from which they made explosives and IEDs intended for the slaughter and murder of Israeli civilians. They are doing all of this in one of the densest places on earth, and they are doing it with minimal harm to civilians up to this moment, and no harm to those not involved, and this is the directive - to look after the security of our forces and also to avoid harming innocent people as much as possible," Netanyahu said.
Netanyahu also said that "I have been saying for some time that we are dealing with changing the equation against terrorism, we did it two and a half years ago in Operation Guardian of the Walls against Hamas, we set it back a decade. We did it a few weeks ago in Operation Shield and Arrow, in which we eliminated senior Islamic Jihad leaders, and we are doing it today in Jenin through a combination of surprise measures, power, and changing the rules. This also adds to the deterrence capacity of the State of Israel, both to protect against additional terrorist attacks and to change the equation in the region."
At the end of his speech, Netanyahu said: "I would like to thank and express my appreciation to the Minister of Defense, the Chief of Staff, the head of the Shin Bet, and the IDF commanders - those here and those in the field, and the soldiers who are doing an outstanding job. I know that all the citizens of Israel stand behind them. We will continue this action as much as possible required to restore peace and security to the citizens of Israel."
