Brian Kolfage, a triple amputee Air Force veteran who started a crowdsourcing campaign to raise money to pay for a border wall, told Breitbart News Saturday media reports the effort has failed are fake news. Following Kolfage’s announcement about the 501(c)3, We Build The Wall, Inc., the leftist media said all of the money donated to the GoFundMe campaign would be refunded. In fact, the spokesperson for the fundraising website said that the donations would be automatically refunded if the campaign doesn’t reach its $1 billion goal, unless donors specifically direct their contribution to the new organization. “The money is...

The GoFundMe campaign that generated $20 million in private donations is being shutdown and those who donated are being refunded their money unless they decide to donate it to a newly-established 501(c)4. Brian Kolfage, the veteran who started the campaign, on Friday posted the following message on the campaign's website: Eight days before Christmas I started this GoFundMe campaign because I was tired of watching the U.S. government’s inability to secure our southern border. Like most Americans, I see the porous southern border as a national security threat and I refuse to allow our broken political system to leave my family...

Roberto (El Osito) Escobar, the brother of the infamous late Colombian drug Lord Pablo Escobar, is raising money in an attempt to impeach the US president.

On the page, Escobar claimed to be “holding dirty secrets of President Trump, his family and associates.” The appeal on his GoFundMe read:  Pablo Escobar is a South American, also known as ‘Latino,’ legendary hero, who helped millions of people in his home...

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- A man is charged with capital murder in the deadly shooting of 7-year-old Jazmine Barnes, and a second suspect has been taken into custody. Investigators say a tip led to the arrest of Eric Black Jr., 20. An investigation revealed evidence that corroborated the tip, authorities say, and Black was taken into custody in east Harris County without incident. Black reportedly admitted to taking part in the shooting. Sources tell ABC13 Larry Woodruffe, 24, has been arrested as a second suspect in the case. Those sources say Woodruffe is believed to be the shooter. Jazmine's...

On Friday, the Republican from Glenbeulah (Rep. Glenn Grothman) threw out a plan to get President Donald Trump's proposed border wall built. Let the American people crowdsource the project. Grothman's office said he introduced "The People’s Border Wall Fund Act," enabling Americans to "personally fund the construction of a wall on the Southern border." With Democrats in charge of the House, it's unlikely that the bill will go anywhere.

Clearly, GFM is a liberal toilet, but they are hosting the noble "We The People Will Fund The Wall" campaign. While they maintain the top 3 fundraisers on their main page, and this campaign has been #1 since inception, as of a few days ago, GFM has seen fit to yank this campaign from their front page. Furthermore, they put up their limp ladder campaign, to which GFM themselves is the lead contributor, as the #1 campaign. Okay, the wall campaign still is the top dog, while the ladder crap lags. Well, now the latest, as of noon Wednesday, the...

A total of $17,313,633 had been donated by 284,843 individuals in just 9 days as of late afternoon December 26, to fund part of the border wall. The campaign is a GoFundMe appeal started by U.S. Air Force veteran and triple-amputee Brian Kolfage. His campaign has more information at www.WeFundTheWall.com. A parallel appeal by the American Border Foundation has raised another $191,755 at www.FundTheWall.com. Attempting to discourage this effort, Democrats and the mainstream news media are arguing that the government is not allowed to accept donations for a specific purpose, Congress would have to vote on it, and — to...

A GoFundMe fundraising campaign to fund the president's border wall has raised nearly $16 million in just 6 days. More than 250,000 Americans have donated to the cause. The goal is to raise a billion dollars toward construction of the wall. Meanwhile, a liberal transgender activist from Texas has started her own GoFundMe page, attempting to raise $100 million in order to purchase "Ladders to get over Trump's wall." That campaign is off to a slow start. Since Wednesday, the page has raised about $127,000. The page is the brainchild of triple amputee Brian Kolfage. Daily Mail: The campaign description...

Let’s turn aside from the Shutdown Theater for the moment, along with the associated fight over funding for the border wall. We can still imagine a scenario where the funding is arranged at some point and large sections of the wall, fence or steel spike trap are put in place. As you may have heard, one avenue of potential funding arrived in the form of a GoFundMe crowdsourcing effort which has, at the time of this writing, raised nearly fifteen million dollars to put toward border wall construction. It remains unclear how this crowdsourcing effort is going to work or...

Left-wing Hollywood actress Alyssa Milano mocked the crowd funding campaign to build a border wall, started by a triple amputee Air Force veteran, arguing that the money could be used to take “care of our veterans.” “Oh, yes! Let’s GoFundTheWall while not taking care of our veterans. Cool. Cool. Cool,” Alyssa Milano said in a social media post.

Reporters used to report the news. Reporters used to stand up for free speech. All that is gone in the Progressive Era of news as the likes of CNN’s Oliver Darcy use their reporting to censor the news and free speech by campaigning to get their competitors and ideological opponents deplatformed or driven off the air by advertiser boycotts. Now comes the Washington Post’s tech policy reporter Tony Romm who attempted to get the wildly popular border wall fundraiser taken down by GoFundMe

The world can sometimes be an amazing place, full of beauty, charity and as the founder of the website in question, Rob Solomon puts it tikkun olam (Hebrew for repairing the world). One of those places, if you’re looking for a replenishment of your faith in humanity, is a site by the name of GoFundMe, which is a platform where people can ask for help and get it from people just like them. It can help with education to dealing with national disaster and anything in between. The site itself has seen a great deal of success, with a reported...

An internet fundraiser for Donald Trump’s border wall took in more than $7 million from over 131,000 donors by early Thursday evening. The Florida man behind the GoFundMe page, a triple-amputee Iraq War veteran named Brian Kolfage, spent a large portion of the fundraising campaign’s description outlining his past, including a bolded section titled “How do you know this is not a scam?” He implored users to look up his history, pointing donors to his verified Facebook page, and saying “I'm credible and a real person.” The pitch has worked. One anonymous donor gave over $50,000 to the cause at...

A Florida man has started a GoFundMe campaign to raise money online for President Trump's border wall, saying "it's up to Americans to help out and pitch in to get this project rolling." As of Thursday afternoon, the GoFundMe campaign has raised more than $6 million, with a goal of $1 billion — a fifth of the $5 billion that President Trump has been demanding, unsuccessfully, from Congress.
