Same here. How many pockets will be lined as opposed to food actually being received.

That money will probably be laundered and sent to terrorist organizations overseas.

Funny how the Clintons always seem to have their fingers in somebody's till.

She can afford the finest doctors to foster in a “geriatric” pregnancy. Or... Sometimes life just wants to come about. My cousin at 40 thought she was too old..., Now.... She has a ten year old. Just good old fashioned...work... with her husband.

Hopefully she doesn’t do the “cool” hollyweird thing and just go buy some fashion accessories from Haiti or Sudan.

“Good for them. I wish I had a spare 26 million bucks to give to my favorite charities. There would be some very luxurious animal rescue and music schools in the region.”

The Swift/Kelce list includes the ASPCA and five music programs.

> I'd like to get a bar of lye soap, a bristle scrub brush, and a burlap towel. Then I would scrub all the paint and crazy glue off that girl's face to find out what's under all the epoxy.

There are (old) pictures of her before she went for the fire-engine red lips and the rest. She's a pretty good looking gal under all that.

Unfortunately, her "trademark look" is that of a cross between a clown and a tart.

That said, I admire her talent and business sense, and while I haven't seen a show in person, I did buy a CD/DVD about a decade ago and like it. Her personal history prior to about 2015 is remarkable.

Trump does give anonymously. There are myriad recipients who have come forward over the yrs to talk about his generosity since the 80’s, such as paying for their hospital bills, children’s tuition, etc. He also donates his $400,000 annual salary quarterly, which benefits every single American taxpayer.

“Be better if they did it privately, without the world knowing about it, but you take what you can get, I suppose.”

I generally agree, but by going public, many of their fans will make charitable donations that they might not have otherwise made to the same organizations.

You can thank her father for her “business sense.” He had a long career as a stockbroker & now handles her financial empire. Her mother was also a financial analyst.

You are right. I read nothing about it. Taylor has always spoken out for lefty causes in the past. Anyway, I wish them well!

I love that Taylor Swift is having her wedding at Madison Square Garden during a heatwave as comrade Mamdani is begging citizens to turn off their A/C.

She truly doesn't GAF.

Based Taylor!

They both have lots of money and how they spend it is their business. I could give a rat’s posterior about the big wedding. Nice however they are giving large charitable donations.

What they should have done...

Put links to the charities they were supporting on their social media accounts.

No other info needed.

Just the links.

That would have made it about the charities.
