First off, the government can't take gifts. Then there's the matter that Kolfage has a history of conning money from right wing suckers, on other GoFundMe accounts, masquerading as good causes, but actually enriching him.

Same with this wall GoFundMe. It's got the right bamboozled, just like you claim the left is bamboozled.

It's small minds, whether left or right, that only sees one as right and the other as wrong. No one has a corner on either.
Why is a GOFUNDME page a bamboozle?

Did you ever think that perhaps some Americans are so concerned about border security that they are willing to pay above and beyond all the taxes we already pay?

Have you lost the ability to objectively think about the issues? Any idea how many billions our g'ment wastes every year? Southwest cities are being destroyed by this blight of crime from illegal aliens.

Yes. I did. And I've been working on that ability since leaving the LC. I think I've come a long way, but maybe not far enough for you. I'll keep trying to do better. In the meantime, thanks for your grace.

No! But I have read of $500.00 dollar hammers, trillions on unnecessary wars, and things like that.

Then why are the border state members of congress against the wall?

"There are nine members of the House of Representatives whose districts lie along the US-Mexico border.

It is perhaps not surprising that the eight Democrats oppose President Donald Trump's signature campaign pledge.

But the one Republican congressman - whose district stretches for 820 miles (1,320km) along the border - is also hostile."

Yeah. There's no trace of partisanship out here.

My understanding is that they don't actually pay $500 for a hammer, rather those inflated bills are designed to cover up secret programs. If you notice most if not all of those kind of bills are with the Pentagon.

Thanks for that vote of confidence. Really appreciate it. I try my best to be fair and balanced.

Just want to remind everyone of a few things:

1. My position is that 9/11 was an inside job that involved people at the highest levels of our government closely connected to President Bush.

2. I also strongly agree with those that say JFK assassination was a CIA conspiracy.

So I do not dismiss conspiracy theories out of hand. But Trump wants to shut down the government because he enjoys stiffing those working for him like the Secret Service?! Seriously? Even if he is not the one paying them?

"Fair, Balanced, and Unafraid." Like FNC anchor Bret Baier?

Mexico won't pay for it. Congress won't pay for it. Republicans didn't pay for it. Democrats won't pay for it. Taxpayers won't pay for it. The executive branch can't appropriate funds ...

And even GoFundMe won't pay for it. It's giving back the $20 million to donors.

I know he thinks he's always a winner, but not this time.

Everybody wants border security. But a majority don't want the wall.

You may be among the minority. But so am I. I think we should make Mexico our 51st state. Then we'd have a shorter southern border security concern. And if we must build a wall, a much shorter one.
