The GoFundMe campaign dedicated to Americans funding the Texas border wall has been shut down after funders failed to reach the $1 billion goal set. Bobby Whithorne, director of North America Communications for GoFundMe said 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.   Brian Kolfage, a triple-amputee Air Force veteran, raised more than $20 million on the crowd-funding platform to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border. At the onset of the campaign, Kolfage said he would only collect the funds if the campaign hit its goal of $1 billion about one-fifth of what President Trump has been demanding from Congress to build it.   "However, that did not happen. This means all donors will receive a refund," Whithorne said. The refund announcement came a day after BuzzFeed News reported that Kolfage pocketed money ...

Thomas Markle Sr, 74, said he wasn’t sure there was any animosity between the two women but added that if indeed there is, "they should put their differences aside". He also said that he is heartbroken he can’t step in to help. Thomas Markle went on to beg the Duchess of Sussex, whom he hasn't spoken to since she got married to Prince Harry, to pick up the phone. He warned that he would "keep talking" and "probably get louder" until he is back in contact with his daughter. He told the Sun: If there is any animosity between Meghan and Kate they should put their differences aside. I’m very upset by the criticism Meghan is getting.
