UPDATE 1/16/2019:

As of 3:51 p.m., Brian Kolfage’s  “We The People Will Build the Wall” Campaign has raised, thru its GoFundMe page, $20,572,372 of $1.0B goal. Screenshot below:

PROGRESSIVE REGRESSIVE FAIL:

Attempts to obstruct Brian Kolfage’s “We The People Will Build the Wall” Campaign is not going as Progressives would like it because Americans want border security.  We want a border wall where none exists.   What the left does not get is that this is about national security.

ORIGINAL POST PUBLISHED TO GRUMPY OPINIONS 1/13/2019:

The Progressive, correction REGRESSIVE agenda:

How Dare Americans Act to Secure Our Borders!

How Dare the President of the United States Act to Do the Same!

Sarcasm!

Not sarcasm: (a) Dismantle all efforts to make the wall, correction improved border security of which the wall plays a part a reality; and (b) destroy anyone who has designs on making it a reality by any means necessary

While several GoFundMe Pages have been launched by individuals, the purpose of which is to secure donations toward the construction of a wall at the U.S.-Mexico border, none have garnered nearly as much attention or support as that of Brian Kolfage’s “We The People Will Build the Wall’ Go Fund Me Campaign.”  

As of this morning, Kolfage’s “We The People Will Build the Wall’ Go Fund Me Campaign” created December 16, 2018 has raised $20,405,395 of its $1.0B goal.

One can only surmise that Kolfage’s campaign is a threat to those who oppose a border wall, particularly since President Donald J. Trump has for several weeks sought funding for border security from Congress.

Thwarting the Border Wall, Trump, Campaigns to Build Wall and Brian Kolfage By Any Means

The usual suspects, i.e., the Communist media complex, NeverTrumpers, the Party of No, the Deep State and their globalist backers reported a few days ago verbatim that Kolfage’s “We The People Will Build the Wall’ Go Fund Me Campaign”  had failed, it was over and that all monies collected was being refunded to donors of the campaign.

NOT TRUE.  The usual suspects are pedaling FAKE NEWS, have declared war on Kolfage, a triple-amputee Air Force veteran, Purple Heart recipient and the Campaign overseeing the campaign and who will in time will sever ties with  GoFundMe.

For the record, Kolfage made clear from the inception of the campaign that “if we did not reach our goal we will refund donors.” 

Enter Bobby Whithorne, director of North America Communications for GoFundMe and social justice warrior who emailed CBS a statement missed his goal and failed to abide by the rules (or something to that effect); therefore, all monies donated to the campaign would be refunded on April 11, 2018 one day after Buzzfeed’s attack on Kolfage.

Buzzfeed who First Reported “Fake Anti-Trump Golden Showers Dossier” Declares War on Brian Kolfage

Propaganda machine, BuzzFeed has launched a smear campaign against Kolfage. See their article, “I Felt Dirty”: Former Employees Of The Veteran Crowdfunding Trump’s Wall Say He Pushed Fake News To Get Rich.” Normally, I post excerpts when referring to articles but since BuzzFeed obliterated what little credibility it once had back in 2017, I won’t bother. Should you care to read the article, feel free to click on the link here.

The smear campaign against Kolfage is two years to the day that Buzzfeed released their very fake and equally salacious article entitled, These Reports Allege Trump Has Deep Ties To Russia in which they published the infamous unverified Golden Shower dossier in a plot to destroy and take down now President Donald J. Trump.  What a way to celebrate an anniversary.

Less than 24 hours after Buzzfeed wrote the article accusing Kolfage of pushing a “get rich” scheme, Bobby Whithorne in an email to CBS stated that GoFundMe would be refunding the donations.

…GoFundMe campaign to subsidize what it called “the Trump Wall” will refund all money to donors because it did not meet its $1 billion goal, said Bobby Whithorne, director of North America Communications for GoFundMe. Donors will receive their money on April 11, unless they choose to donate their contribution to the campaign creator’s new venture, GoFundMe said in an email to the campaign’s participants….

The refund announcement came a day after BuzzFeed News reported that Kolfage pocketed money in a previous GoFundMe campaign intended to help other wounded soldiers. Kolfage raised $16,246 for a veteran mentorship program, but BuzzFeed News reports that after collecting the funds, he didn’t use the money as promised: none of the partners he claimed to have worked with — including Walter Reed, Brooke Army Medical Center and Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Germany — have any records that Kolfage worked with their patients or donated money, according to representatives at the centers that BuzzFeed News spoke to[…]

SIDEBAR

About GoFundMe’s intent to refund donors “on April 11, 2019” — Question(s):  While it took and continues to take  GoFundMe less than a minute to grab donations, i.e., $20,405,395 plus so far, it will take 1/4 of the year to issue refunds?  Three months? Does that mean that GoFundMe as in “Cash Rules Everything Around Me” will collect interest on said donations in addition to securing its “fair share” of the pie? Or am I overthinking this?

Just saying.

END OF SIDEBAR

NeverTrumper websites also reported verbatim that GoFundMe was refunding all of the donations as in the case of RedState, who quoted the title from tweet posted by One America News.

As you can see above, Redstate chose to deceptively quote a portion of the tweet allegedly submitted by MAGA student. (???) They updated their article (lack thereof) by posting an update from Kolfage’s “We The People Will Build the Wall’ Go Fund Me Campaign”  page, again verbatim.

Moving on…

“We Build the Wall” Campaign Remains an OnGoing Project Just Not at GoFundMe

The campaign to collect donations from Americans to build the much-needed border wall, etc. is still in gear except that eventually donations will cease going through Go Fund Me.

Disclosure: About two weeks ago, I donated to Kolfage’s “We The People Will Build the Wall’ Go Fund Me Campaign” .  On Friday afternoon at 2:19 p.m., I received the following email from GoFundMe which I only noticed very early Saturday morning  (links removed).

Dear GoFundMe Customer,

As explained in update #18 on the campaign, you have 90 days to let us know if you’d like your donation to be sent to the new 501(c)(4) organization: We Build The Wall, Inc. If we do not hear from you by April 10, 2019, your donation will be automatically refunded on April 11, 2019, as the specific plan for the use of funds raised on the campaign has changed from what was originally stated.

Please take action through the links below:

Yes, I want my donation to go to We Build The Wall, Inc.

Please refund my donation.

If we don’t hear from you, we will refund your donation on April 11, 2019.

Please do not reply to this message. If you have any questions, please visit our Help Center.

Thank you,
The GoFundMe Team

Screenshot:

 

No problem, I re-directed my donation to the 501(c)(4) organization: We Build The Wall, Inc. as later confirmed by GoFundMe.  In the meantime, Brian Kolfage who has been accused of changing the rules of the game is working overtime to update donors, refute allegations levied against him and at the same time respond to BuzzFeed’s smear campaign him.  Immediately after Kolfage posts updates to the GoFundMe page, emails are dispatched to those who donated.

Endgame:  An Attempt by the Left to Thwart Efforts by Americans to Build the Border Wall

If you have made a donation, see Kolfage’s latest update (excerpt below) or the email that you should have received from GoFundMe informing donors to opt-in or your donations will be refunded via GoFundMe on April 11, 2019 after GoFundMe has collected its share of the bounty. (Ah-hah! 2.9% and then some i.e., “+ $0.30 per donation”)

We Build the Wall (Trump’s Wall) – GoFundMe

UPDATE: JANUARY 11, 2019  

WE ARE BUILDING THE WALL! You can still donate right now on this Gofundme!! The media is falsely reporting all money is being refunded and it’s over. They are WRONG. WE ARE BUILDING THE WALL and you can STILL donate or opt in if you donated before January 11th TO SUPPORT the plan. 

✮★★IF YOU WANT TO SUPPORT & BUILD THE BORDER WALL OPT-IN CLICK HERE!!! ★★✮
✮★★IF YOU WANT TO SUPPORT & BUILD THE BORDER WALL OPT-IN CLICK HERE!!!  ★★✮

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 and my country vulnerable to attack.

The plan of action was simple and straightforward to raise money to construct a wall on our southern border. We have raised over $20 Million from 325,000 plus donors and we are only just getting started! I have been literally overwhelmed and inspired by the outpouring of support, calls, and emails from American citizens who support our efforts to Build the Wall. I got some hate as well but that was easy to ignore with all the positive feedback I was getting. I immediately sought out and consulted with some of our country’s leading professionals in law, politics, national security, construction, and finance. This team has spent countless hours over the holidays reviewing all issues pertaining to the construction of a southern border wall. Unanimously, we have all come to the conclusion that:

★ The federal government won’t be able to accept our donations anytime soon.

★We are better equipped than our own government to use the donated funds to build an actual wall on the southern border.

★ Our highly experienced team is highly confident that we can complete significant segments of the wall in less time, and for far less money, than the federal government, while meeting or exceeding all required regulatory, engineering, and environmental specifications.

★ Our team strongly believes that we can complete our segments of the wall for less than half of the government’s estimated costs on a per mile basis.

IF YOU WANT TO SUPPORT & BUILD THE BORDER WALL OPT-IN CLICK HERE!!! ☝☝☝☝

To show the government how “We the People” can get this done, we have formed a Section 501(c)(4) non-profit Florida Corporation named “We Build the Wall, Inc.” to receive the GoFundMe contributions. Our website can be found at www.webuildthewall.us.

The following individuals serve on the on the advisory board, and construction, finance, and or audit committees, operations, administration, PR, Media and ongoing fundraising:

www.webuildthewall.us/team

[…]

So Kolfage’s newfound revelations broke the rules?  Among those onboard as referenced by Kolfage are:

Brigadier General Dr. Robert S. Spalding III, Industrialist John Daniel Moran, Jr., Ex-Navy SEAL and businessman Erik Prince, Former Secretary of State of Kansas Kris Kobach, Angel Mom Mary Ann Mendoza, Law enforcement and immigration expert Sheriff David Clarke, Fox news contributor and border security expert Sara A. Carter, Former Colorado Congressman and presidential candidate Tom Tancredo, Angel Dad Steve Ronnebeck and Media consultant and journalist Jennifer Lawrence for starters.

How the FakeNews Narrative Journalism Sausage is Made

Unified Patriots by Beaglescout

For more than a hundred years the major sources of news led by the New York Timesand the Columbia School of Journalism have engaged in what they call narrative journalism. This is not simple reporting of the Who, What, Where, When, and How variety. This is journalism that places the factual details within a prejudicial story. Every such story has its own villains, victims, dastardly acts, heroic acts of resistance, and references to good and evil causes looming behind the scenes. A character’s role is determined not by their own actions, but by their identity with regard to the allowable villain and victim categories.

Begin with the facts of the story. For instance, let’s start with this simple news story from LifeNews. It happened just the other day.

A member of the Democratic-Farmer-Labor (DFL) Party was suspended after saying Republicans should be brought “to the guillotines” after the November midterm elections.

William Davis, who is the spokesman for the party in Minnesota, commented in a Facebook post: “11.7 — bring them to the guillotines.” Party executive director Corey Day said Davis deleted the post and party spokeswoman Charlene Briner said Davis’s suspension started Monday with no pay for one week, according to The Associated Press.

“The comment made by William Davis on social media this weekend was unacceptable. The DFL offers its apologies and assurance that these types of remarks by our employees are not the way we conduct our business,” Day said in a statement to Bring Me The News.

The screenshot of the Facebook post was posted by the campaign for Republican Attorney General candidate Doug Wardlow. Wardlow is running against the deputy chair of the Democratic National Committee, Keith Ellison, who was accused of sexual abuse by his ex-girlfriend.

Wardlow has since called for Davis to be fired from the DFL and has attacked Ellison for his leadership throughout his party.

I made a table of allowed categories at the bottom of this article that lays out the most likely identities of villains, victims, dastardly acts, and the other prejudicial roles to help rewrite the facts of the above article as a proper #FakeNews narrative worthy of the New York Times, a DNC press release, or even MSNBC. Consult the table for ideas if it’s difficult to arrange categories according to the politically correct party line. Sorry the table is unsorted and somewhat disorganized.

Ready?

Biased CNN Gives Jeffrey Toobin a Pass on Lie that Black Americans are Behind Antifa Violence.

For eight years, Barack Obama’s foot soldiers in the Communist media complex have controlled the narrative through the lens of “Who are you going to believe? Me or your lying eyes?”

During that time, useful idiots bought what they were selling, hook, line and sinker.  Apparently, the Communist media complex sees no reason why useful idiots wouldn’t continue to accept fake news narratives no matter how ridiculous the lies.

Grumpy Opinions

CNN is fake news did it again.  Last Tuesday night (8/28/2018) during CNN’s “The Situation Room” with Wolf Blitzer, the CNN panel engaged in the usual fear mongering and anti-Trump propaganda.  Propagandist, Jeffrey Toobin  managed to upstage the whole panel with his statement that President Donald J. Trump at a dinner the evening before with Christian pastors sent a dog whistle to the effect, “‘I’m Donald Trump and I’ll protect you from the scary black people.” Toobin then went on to say the following:

Antifa is widely perceived as an African-American organization, and this is just part of the same story of LeBron James and Don Lemon and Maxine Waters and the NFL players and the UCLA basketball players … This is about black versus white. This is about Donald Trump’s appeal to racism and it just happens all the time. And we never say it. We don’t say it enough for what it is, but that’s what’s going on here…

See video below:

The coward, Wolf Blitzer, along with fellow propagandists on the panel gave Toobin a pass as did the other globalist media outlets complicit in the deception.  Cherry-picking, the usual suspects are parsing Toobin’s words to push the lie that Trump is warning his white supporters about scary Black people[..]

Planned Parenthood Hired Fusion GPS to Smear Center for Medical Progress w/Fake Report.

First the NeverTrumpers hired Fusion GPS to build a smear campaign on then 2016 Republican Party presidential primary candidate, Donald J. Trump.  When Trump wins the primary, it’s passed on to the DNC and Hillary Clinton campaign who takes the ball and runs with it further than anyone dared imagine.

Now we are learning that Planned Parenthood hired Fusion GPS to smear and invalidate videos and reports released by Sandra Merritt and David Daleiden of the Center for Medical Progress (CMP).

The Center for Medical Progress (CMP) in 2015 began releasing videos exposing Planned Parenthood’s sales and bartering of baby parts to STEM corporations.

You may or may not recall that in the videos employees of Planned Parenthood and entities (STEM corporations) with whom they were in businesses boasted about the costs of specific fetus body parts and how the abortions had to be performed so as not to damage fetus body parts rendering them worthless.

In many of the videos, Planned Parenthood employees were seen/heard boasting about how they coerced young women who at the time they entered Planned Parenthood were on the ropes about whether or not they wanted to proceed with their abortion into having the abortions…because baby parts mean money.  [my emphasis on the latter]

Of course, the women who aborted their babies were unaware of how Planned Parenthood was allegedly profiting from their abortions.

In other words, Planned Parenthood is themselves allegedly in the business of fake news but CMP won out because the footage provided is real.

Liberty Counsel

In the summer of 2015, CMP began releasing undercover videos exposing Planned Parenthood executives regarding the procurement of aborted baby body parts. Planned Parenthood hired Fusion GPS to conduct a “forensic analysis” to discredit the videos. Not surprisingly, the Fusion GPS report falsely declared that the videos had been edited and were fake, even though the “research” organization has no known qualifications in the field of forensic video analysis.

In contrast, the same videos were analyzed by Coalfire Systems, Inc., a company that does have credentials in the field of forensic video analysis and are experts in the field of information technology auditing. Their findings were diametrically opposite from the Fusion GPS report.

The Coalfire Systems analysis of the recorded media files revealed that “the video recordings are authentic and show no evidence of manipulation or editing[…]

Below are a handful of my posts on Planned Parenthood’s sale of body parts.  Planned Parenthood was (is) harvesting aborted baby body parts.

See my earlier posts on the subject below.  Warning: Not for the  faint of heart.

How many other Progressive organization in the United States have used Fusion GPS to create fake reports to destroy the credibility odf Conservatives, Republicans, Libertarians, Independents and other voices of opposition as they do in third world countries?

Americans have the right to know.

http://www.dhruvaaliman.com/ ….Sebastian Gorka, Trump’s adviser, glad to take media flak. World War II bomber pilots liked to say that taking flak proved you had arrived at the target. By any measure, Sebastian Gorka, is in the eye of an unprecedented flak storm from liberal press outlets. The enemy fire proves he must be doing something right. “Look, these attacks are just too predictable,” Mr. Gorka said in an interview. “As they say in the military, ‘You’re only taking flak if you’re over the target….”

#CNNFakeNews bawls about being seated in back at Pres. Trump’s press conference.

This definitely fits into the “there’s more than one way to skin a cat” file even if the cat returns to wail about it (as expected).

#CNNFakeNews Jim Acosta whined to Wolf Blitzer yesterday about his being relegated to “Siberia” during President Donald Trump’s press conference Friday with the president of Romania.

But #CNNFakeNews was not alone in “Siberia” meaning the rear of the Rose Garden. Pursuant to a tweet by Gabby Morrongiello of the New York Post, #NYTFakeNews was placed in the back as well away from the press.

Morrongiello discussed the relegation of #FakeNews to “Siberia” on MSNBC and CNN this morning.

Breitbart News

CNN’s Wolf Blitzer said it was “outrageous.” And Acosta, mustering up the courage mainstream media reporters never found while Barack Obama was president, said the poor seating assignments are “not going to deter us from what we’re doing over here.” Breitbart’s Matt Boyle has described Acosta as “a vehemently anti-Trump media figure in the heart of the opposition party’s mothership CNN.”

…The New York Times was sent to the very last row a day after former FBI director James Comey revealed on Thursday while testifying before the Senate Intelligence Committee that the Times published a fake news story in February suggesting that Trump’s campaign had colluded with Russians a year before the 2016 election.

Below is Mark Dice’s take on the “matter” (no pun intended).

The opposition party will be whining all weekend but in the meantime, there is twitter and none of it is favorable.
