Here’s a short video I posted on X with Brian & Charlie, and a video of the construction of our border wall I took. Brian sent over the photo of him & Charlie.

This is Brian with Charlie, while Brian was in Houston for a meeting about the wall we would begin building soon. RIP, Charlie. Prayers for his young family. Charlie was 31.

An Obama judge ordered Brian to pay almost $3,000,000 in “restitution” for building the border walls. They deduct money from anything he earns. He will never be able to pay it off in his lifetime. They want to bankrupt him.

Here is the link to the fundraiser for Brian. 100% of funds go to him.

One of those locations was near Jacumba, California, where a local landowner showed me a section of concertina wire on top of the border wall that had been cut.

According to the landowner, cartel smugglers were bringing ladders to the opening and helping approximately 40 illegal aliens cross into the United States every day.

After a friend of mine was brutally attacked for trying to stop illegal aliens from jumping the wall, I obtained concertina wire, carried it out to the wall, and installed it across the compromised section. The wire created another physical obstacle for the smugglers and closed off the route they had been repeatedly exploiting.

The results were immediate.

Here’s the video on my X account.

The landowner later told me that illegal crossings at that location stopped for approximately four months after the new wire was installed.

That experience demonstrated something I have learned repeatedly during my years working and filming along the border: physical barriers work. They may not stop every person forever, but they can disrupt cartel operations, shut down established smuggling routes and give Border Patrol agents an important advantage.

My border work has always been about more than taking photographs and recording video. It is about witnessing history firsthand, exposing what is happening—and, whenever possible, taking action to help protect this country.

Citizens can secure our border if needed—one roll of concertina wire at a time.

All photos and videos are mine that I took. No AI.

From California to Texas, illegal aliens from Africa, China, India, and the Middle East flooded the border during the Biden era. We aren’t seeing them in the deportation lists or videos. Why not?

Some say that Islamic enclaves are hiding the ones who came from Islamic-majority African nations like Senegal and Guinea. I filmed tens of thousands of them coming across the border in Lukeville, Arizona, in 2023.

People are asking, where are they? It’s a good question. We need some answers.

Brian is a triple-amputee Air Force veteran who nearly died serving our country in Iraq. He lost both of his legs and his right hand after a rocket exploded just feet away from him at Balad Air Base in 2004.

Now, after everything Brian himself has been through, he is trying to change the life of another disabled man halfway around the world.

Brian recently connected with a man in Africa who was born with severely deformed limbs and has spent his entire life unable to walk.

The man shares his story on Instagram under @hardlifefoundation, and when Brian saw his situation, he wanted to help.

Brian is now working to get him a wheelchair at no cost to him.

For most of us, a wheelchair might simply look like a piece of medical equipment.

For this man, it could mean freedom.

It could mean being able to move around without someone carrying him.

It could mean getting outside, interacting with his community, and having an independence he has never experienced before.

And Brian understands exactly how important that independence can be.

Brian Had to Learn How to Live All Over Again

When Brian was wounded in Iraq, his life changed in a matter of seconds.

Senior Airman Brian Kolfage during the Iraq War, 2004.

He went from being a young Airman serving his country to waking up without both legs and his right hand.

Most people cannot even imagine what comes after something like that.

Brian had to learn how to walk again on prosthetic legs. He had to learn new ways of doing everyday things most of us perform without even thinking about them.

He had to rebuild his life.

I’ve watched Brian do things over the years that many able-bodied people would have difficulty doing.

His disability didn’t stop him from becoming a husband and father. It didn’t stop him from working, getting massive border wall projects built, or pursuing things people told him couldn’t be done.

And it hasn’t stopped him from helping other disabled people and being a motivational force.

This Isn’t The First Time Brian Has Done Something Like This

Years ago, Brian traveled to Montreal to meet a young Ukrainian boy named Mykola Nyzhnykovskyi.

Mykola had suffered horrific injuries in a grenade explosion.

He lost both of his legs and his right arm.

Sound familiar?

Brian could sit down with that young man and connect with him in a way that almost nobody else on Earth could.

Brian could show him his prosthetics.

He could show him what life could still look like.

He could demonstrate, simply by being there, that losing three limbs didn’t mean his dreams were over.

Sometimes the person best equipped to reach someone who is suffering is someone who has already traveled down that road.

And now Brian is doing it again.

This time, it’s a man in Africa who has never known what it’s like to simply stand up and walk somewhere.

Brian can’t change how he was born.

But he can help change what happens next.

A Wheelchair Can Change a Life

Think about how many times you move throughout an ordinary day.

You get out of bed.

You walk into another room.

You go outside.

You get into a vehicle.

You go to a store.

You visit friends.

Most of us never give any of it a second thought.

Now imagine having to rely on another human being every single time you wanted to move from one place to another.

That’s why this wheelchair matters.

This isn’t about giving someone a luxury.

It’s about giving someone mobility, dignity, and independence.

And after losing three limbs himself, Brian understands that better than almost anybody.

Brian Could Use Our Help Too

Brian has also been through an incredibly difficult period in his own life.

Following the politically motivated We Build the Wall case, which stemmed from him getting privately funded border wall sections built, Brian was sentenced to 51 months in federal prison and ordered to pay $2,877,414 in restitution.

That’s nearly $3 million.

Whatever people may think about the case, Brian is a triple-amputee combat-wounded veteran, a husband and father, who also sought to help secure our border and keep Americans safe.

Now he is trying to rebuild his own life while carrying an enormous financial burden—and, remarkably, he’s still looking for ways to help somebody else.

That says something about a person.

I’ve worked alongside Brian. I’ve traveled with him. I’ve photographed and filmed the projects we worked on together. I’ve seen him when the cameras weren’t rolling, and there was no audience around. This is who he is.

That’s why I’m helping him now.

If you would like to help Brian and his family as he rebuilds his life, please consider making a donation to his fundraiser.

And please share his story.

Brian lost three limbs serving this country. He has lived through injuries most people couldn’t imagine, prison, public controversy, and an enormous financial judgment.

Yet here he is, looking across the world at another disabled man and asking:

How can I help him?

That’s Brian Kolfage.

And hopefully, very soon, a man in Africa who has spent his entire life struggling to move will have a wheelchair—and a little more freedom—because somebody who understood his struggle decided to help.

Please donate to Brian’s fundraiser and share this story. Every donation and every share helps. 🇺🇸

Scammers will ask for down payments via Cash App, Venmo, PayPal, and Zelle. One of my cousin’s friends did it & just lost $2000.

I thought it was real, and so did my dad, and we almost sent down payments for vehicles priced very low. There were several red flags, so I started doing some checking. Sure enough, it’s a common scam.

People aren’t careful with their Facebook or other social media account passwords, or they get phished, and their accounts get hacked; scammers then post whatever they want to get money from the hacked person’s family and friends.

When a person from a hacked FB page contacts you via Messenger, report the message and use the “Other” selection and choose “Hacked.” I did it, and Facebook just took down my cousin’s account.

The “uncle in a nursing home/rest home selling cars” post on Facebook is a widespread phishing and financial scam. Hackers compromise or clone a local person’s Facebook account, then post a heart-wrenching story about an uncle moving to a care facility or passing away, forcing a quick-sale liquidation of vehicles, tools, or trailers at unrealistically low prices. [1, 2, 3, 4]

Red Flags to Watch For

• The Sob Story: An emotional narrative about an elderly relative entering a nursing home, hospice, or care facility.

• Too-Good-To-Be-True Deals: High-value items, trucks, or multiple vehicles listed at massive discounts.

• Deposit Demands: Insistence that you send an upfront deposit via Venmo, Zelle, Cash App, or gift cards to “hold” the vehicle because the seller is out of town.

• Disabled Comments: Scammers often limit who can comment or push you straight to Facebook Messenger to talk privately. [1, 2, 3, 5]

How the Scam Works

Once you express interest, the scammer claims high demand and demands a small or large deposit to secure the vehicle. If they provide an address for pickup, it is often a random or fake location. Once the electronic payment goes through, the “friend” or “seller” blocks you and disappears. [1, 2, 3]

Be aware. This is happening RIGHT NOW. That’s it! Have a great week and beware of scammers! If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is!!!

I made a post on X about a celebrity who looked like they were on drugs in an interview last night. I was just commenting about how they looked and acted. Didn’t expect anything of it. Woke up today, and the post was viral.

The post was about actress Kristen Stewart of Twilight fame and her appearance on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.

I wrote, “Holy crap. Kristen Stewart is on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon and she looks like she’s on METH. She’s shaking, twitching, itching, sunken eyes, acting spastically. This chick is on Something. No wonder she’s insane.”

Of course, all the trolls and her fans had to chime in. Some hate, lots of blah blah blah, of course.

I have no proof that Stewart is on drugs. Don’t care if she is. I was just commenting. I have a wealth of knowledge about what people look like on hard drugs because I was an addict, and I was around other addicts. Kristen reminded me of what one looks like.

Perez Hilton had a mental breakdown or drug reaction on a live stream within the last few weeks. I commented on that as well. I have an opinion sometimes.

That said, here are a few statistics on celebrity drug deaths and addiction and the toll on Americans as well.

Hollywood, Addiction, and the Facts Behind the Headlines

Addiction, overdose, and mental health crises have affected some of the biggest names in Hollywood, music, and television for decades. That is not gossip—it is a documented reality. But it is also important to separate confirmed facts from internet speculation.

There is no credible national database that can tell us exactly how many Hollywood celebrities have struggled with drug addiction, entered a hospital, or died from an overdose. Medical records are private, many people seek treatment without announcing it, and “Hollywood celebrity” is not an official public-health category.

Still, the documented toll is significant.

A peer-reviewed study published in 2016 examined publicly reported drug-related celebrity deaths from 1970 through 2015. Researchers identified 220 celebrities whose deaths involved drugs and for whom the substances involved could be clearly established. More than half of those people came from the entertainment industry, including actors and musical performers. The average age at death was just 38.6 years, and most deaths occurred between ages 25 and 40. The researchers found that prescription opioids became increasingly involved in celebrity deaths during the 21st century. Read the study here

That number should not be misrepresented. It is not a complete count of every actor, actress, singer, or television figure who has ever battled addiction. It covers celebrities broadly, not Hollywood alone, and it only includes deaths that were publicly documented well enough for the researchers to verify. The real number of people in entertainment who have faced substance-abuse problems or hospitalization is almost certainly higher—but no honest reporter can put a precise number on it.

Hollywood’s history includes well-known, documented cases involving alcohol, cocaine, heroin, prescription painkillers, sleeping medications and fentanyl. Some entertainers publicly discussed recovery or treatment. Others were hospitalized after overdoses. Others died after toxicology reports established drug involvement. These are not isolated incidents; they reflect the same wider crisis that has devastated families in every part of America.

The national figures make that clear. The CDC estimates that approximately 69,973 Americans died from drug overdoses in 2025, including about 44,564 deaths involving opioids. Those numbers were lower than the previous year, but they remain staggering. CDC data

Fame does not make someone immune to addiction. In some ways, it can make recovery harder. Performers face extreme pressure, public scrutiny, career instability, access to money, access to enablers and, in some cases, chronic pain or mental-health struggles. None of that excuses destructive behavior. But it does explain why the issue keeps surfacing among people who appear to have everything.

There is also a basic standard that should apply to everyone—famous or not: a person’s appearance in a short video is not proof that he or she is using a particular drug. Shaking, rapid movements, anxiety, fatigue, medication effects, illness or simply an uncomfortable interview can look alarming on camera. Confirmed reporting should rely on public statements, official records, credible eyewitness reporting or medical and legal documentation—not an internet diagnosis.

That standard does not mean we ignore the drug crisis. It means we report it accurately.

The honest takeaway is this: addiction has taken a real and documented toll on Hollywood and the entertainment world, just as it has on the rest of America. The country needs stronger treatment, tougher action against traffickers, better mental-health care and a culture willing to confront addiction without glamorizing it.

Selected Hollywood Actors Whose Deaths Were Officially Ruled Drug-Related

This is not a complete count of Hollywood actors affected by drugs. No official database tracks every entertainer’s addiction history, hospitalizations, or overdoses. These are selected, widely documented cases in which drugs were ruled to be the cause of death or a major contributing factor.

• Marilyn Monroe (1962) — died from acute barbiturate poisoning; her death was ruled a probable suicide.

• Judy Garland (1969) — died from an accidental barbiturate overdose.

• John Belushi (1982) — died from combined heroin and cocaine intoxication.

• River Phoenix (1993) — died from acute multiple-drug intoxication outside a Los Angeles nightclub.

• Chris Farley (1997) — died from an accidental overdose involving cocaine and morphine.

• Dana Plato (1999) — died from an overdose involving prescription drugs; the death was ruled suicide.

• Robert Pastorelli (2004) — the Murphy Brown actor died from an accidental heroin overdose.

• Brad Renfro (2008) — died from acute heroin and morphine intoxication.

• Heath Ledger (2008) — died from the combined effects of several prescription medications, including painkillers, anti-anxiety drugs and sleeping medication. His death was ruled accidental.

• Brittany Murphy (2009) — her death involved pneumonia, anemia and multiple-drug intoxication from legal medications.

• Cory Monteith (2013) — died from mixed heroin and alcohol toxicity.

• Philip Seymour Hoffman (2014) — died from acute mixed-drug intoxication involving heroin, cocaine, amphetamines and benzodiazepines.

• Skye McCole Bartusiak (2014) — the young actress died from accidental mixed-drug intoxication.

• Michael K. Williams (2021) — died from accidental intoxication involving fentanyl, heroin and cocaine.

• Matthew Perry (2023) — the medical examiner found that the acute effects of ketamine, along with drowning and other factors, caused his accidental death.

(Brittany Murphy and Matthew Perry were “drug-related deaths,” not straightforward overdose cases—the official findings were more medically complex.)

The broader documented record is substantial. A peer-reviewed study examining public records from 1970 through 2015 identified 220 celebrity drug-related deaths with verifiable substances involved; more than half of those cases were actors or musical performers. The study’s authors stressed that the figure is not a complete count of every celebrity affected by drugs, because private medical history and many cases are never fully disclosed. Read the study

The human cost extends far beyond Hollywood. The CDC estimated nearly 70,000 U.S. drug-overdose deaths in 2025, including roughly 44,564 involving opioids. CDC data

I’m glad I commented about Kristen Stewart, because now we can shed some light on drug abuse, addiction, and the price Americans pay for it because politicians haven’t done enough to eradicate the scourge.

HOW I ESCAPED A GANG, DRUGS, AND THE STREETS

In about a week, I’ll be heading back to the southern border with my cameras, equipment, and years of experience documenting America’s border crisis.

Customs and Border Protection has approved my request to film border wall construction, among other things.

Border Patrol agents in the San Diego Sector will help me obtain new footage for my upcoming documentaries, including possible escorts and ride-alongs. I’m also considering traveling into Arizona and turning this into a month-long documentary road trip.

Border Patrol leadership recently confirmed that border-wall construction is ongoing and “should be continuing for some time.” That presents an important opportunity to document the work as it happens—not months or years later, but from the ground while crews are actively building and improving America’s border defenses.

Follow me on Facebook — X (formely Twitter) — YouTube.

This will not be my first time filming border-wall construction.

I served as the photographer and news editor for the team that built the first privately funded border wall in American history near El Paso. Triple-amputee veteran Brian Kolfage raised $25 million to build walls and formed We Build the Wall.

I documented the first project from the beginning, photographing and filming the construction process from start to finish.

I watched an empty stretch of rugged terrain transform into a fortified border barrier. I filmed the excavation, heavy equipment, steel installation, and crews working under extremely difficult conditions.

What began as an ambitious plan became a physical structure rising up a mountain on the border.

That experience started a much larger chapter of my life and work.

From 2021 through 2024, I spent extensive periods along the southern border documenting the historic crisis that unfolded during Biden’s term. I filmed illegal aliens crossing into the United States, Border Patrol agents processing enormous groups, and overwhelmed communities dealing with the consequences of unchecked immigration.

I didn’t watch the crisis from a television studio or read about it from thousands of miles away. I stood in the desert, traveled through remote border regions, and filmed what was happening directly in front of me. And I spent about $50,000 of my own money to get it done.

I have also traveled internationally to document border walls, barriers, and defense systems used by other countries. Those assignments gave me a wider perspective on how nations protect their territory and how physical barriers work alongside surveillance technology, personnel, roads, lighting, and other infrastructure.

A border wall is not simply a line of steel standing by itself. It is one component of a larger defensive system—and I want this new documentary work to show viewers how that system operates.

During this upcoming trip, I plan to document the current state of construction, speak with the people responsible for protecting the border, and show what has changed since my previous assignments. I want to capture the terrain, equipment, barriers, and daily operational realities faced by the agents working there.

The San Diego Sector offers a particularly important setting. It includes urban areas, rugged mountains, remote terrain, and one of the most historically active border regions in the country. If the Arizona portion comes together, I’ll also be able to document another dramatically different environment and compare the challenges faced across multiple sectors.

This trip will require substantial travel, preparation, and equipment. I’ll be bringing professional cameras, GoPros, a drone, stabilization equipment, and other gear needed to operate in remote areas and harsh desert conditions. I plan to be away from home and on the border at least a month. As always, the goal is to return with enough original material for documentaries, news reporting, social media coverage, and a lasting historical archive.

Much of what Americans believe about the border is shaped by short news clips and political arguments. My goal is to go beyond those fragments and create a detailed visual record of what is actually happening.

I’m excited to get back into the field. This is where my border work began, and this trip represents the next chapter.

The cameras are being prepared. The route is taking shape. Border Patrol and CBP are helping open the doors—and soon, I’ll be back on the border filming America’s defenses being built in real time.

Let’s Go!!! America #1! 💥💪🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

By Jeff Rainforth

At least 67 people are dead after an estimated 50,000 to 60,000 illegal aliens breached the border separating Morocco from Ceuta, a Spanish territory on the northern coast of Africa.

The enormous influx unfolded Thursday and Friday, overwhelming local authorities and throwing the small Spanish territory into a humanitarian and security crisis. Some of those killed reportedly drowned while attempting to enter Ceuta by sea, while others died in a stampede near a breakwater barrier, according to the Spanish government.

Spain responded Saturday by installing a 500-meter-long—or approximately 1,600-foot—floating containment barrier along the sea border between Ceuta and Morocco.

The barrier consists of a pneumatic structure accompanied by naval buoys, with an opening allowing Spanish Civil Guard patrol vessels to pass through. Its purpose is to prevent migrants from swimming or walking around the coastal end of Ceuta’s existing border fence.

The project is remarkably similar in concept to the waterborne barriers installed in the Rio Grande to deter illegal crossings along the Texas-Mexico border. I filmed the border invasion and crisis there as well.

Spanish officials say more than 48,000 migrants had returned to Morocco within approximately 48 hours of the mass entry. Authorities have also emphasized that illegally entering Ceuta does not automatically give migrants access to mainland Spain or the rest of Europe.

The European Union is now confronting a major border-security debate, with member nations calling for an emergency meeting to coordinate their response. Several European countries have also strengthened checks on travelers arriving from Spain.

The Associated Press reported that critics of Spain’s socialist government, particularly politicians on the political right, seized upon dramatic images of massive crowds entering Ceuta as evidence of a failed immigration policy.

I Filmed Spain’s Border Crisis Years Ago

None of this is entirely new.

I traveled to Melilla, another Spanish territory on the northern coast of Africa, where I personally filmed the massive border-security system separating the city from Morocco.

Ceuta and Melilla form the European Union’s only land borders with Africa. Both territories have consequently become major targets for migrants attempting to enter Spanish and European territory without authorization.

Melilla is protected by an extraordinary multilayered border fence. When I filmed there, I documented the triple-fence system, patrol roads, observation posts and other security infrastructure designed to prevent mass crossings.

The border looked more like a fortified military perimeter than an ordinary international boundary. Yet even that massive physical barrier was under constant pressure.

Illegal aliens were still finding ways to climb over, cut through, or move around the fortifications. Spanish security forces continuously monitored the frontier because officials understood that a barrier without personnel, surveillance, and enforcement could eventually be breached.

The current catastrophe in Ceuta demonstrates exactly why those defenses exist.

The Council of the European Union identifies Ceuta and Melilla as part of the Western Mediterranean migration route, which includes irregular arrivals in Spain by sea and through its North African territories.

These borders have experienced repeated mass-crossing attempts for decades. People have been killed in previous attempts to overwhelm the fences, while Spanish and Moroccan security personnel have repeatedly confronted crowds trying to force their way through.

A City Overwhelmed

The scale of this latest incident is difficult to overstate.

Ceuta normally has a population of approximately 85,000 people. The arrival of as many as 60,000 migrants in roughly two days was therefore equivalent to adding a population nearly three-quarters the size of the entire territory almost overnight.

No city can absorb an influx of that magnitude without severe consequences.

Reception facilities become overwhelmed. Police and military resources are stretched thin. Food, shelter and medical services come under enormous pressure. Local residents face uncertainty while officials attempt to identify, process, house or return tens of thousands of people.

It is also dangerous for the migrants themselves, as the reported death toll demonstrates. Uncontrolled mass movements produce drowning, crushing, trampling and other predictable tragedies.

A functioning border is therefore not simply a political symbol. It is a necessary component of public safety, national sovereignty and an orderly immigration system.

The Same Warning Applies to America

I have seen the consequences of failed border enforcement on both sides of the Atlantic.

After filming Spain’s border defenses, I spent approximately 12 months working along the United States-Mexico border. During the previous U.S. administration, I personally filmed more than 200,000 illegal aliens crossing into the United States.

I watched groups walk across the border, surrender to agents, and enter an immigration system that was already operating far beyond its intended capacity.

Those experiences taught me that the border crisis is not theoretical. It affects border communities, law enforcement, taxpayers, humanitarian organizations, and the illegal aliens making the journey.

Physical barriers alone cannot solve every immigration problem. However, strategically placed fencing and waterborne barriers—combined with surveillance, sufficient personnel, and consistent enforcement—can channel crossings toward legal ports of entry and make it substantially harder for enormous groups to overwhelm a country’s defenses.

Spain is now installing a barrier in the sea because its existing security system was unable to stop tens of thousands of people from breaching its territory in a matter of hours.

That is what unchecked immigration and weak border enforcement eventually produce: chaos, political conflict, overwhelmed communities, and preventable deaths.

Countries have both the right and responsibility to control who enters their territory. People seeking admission must use established legal procedures rather than rushing fences, swimming around barriers, or overwhelming security personnel.

Come the right way—or not at all.

Build the wall, defend the border, and enforce the law. A nation that refuses to control its frontier will eventually lose control of what happens inside it.

(Note: I am trying to get back to the border within a few days to film some new stuff. Stay tuned.)

Governor Newsom and elected lawmakers work in the Capitol building. I see homeless people on drugs all over downtown Sacramento when I'm out on my bike rides. This is California now.

WATCH FULL 360 CAMERA VIDEO:

So far, the New York Post, CA Post, and Yahoo News have picked up the story from my video. My post is on Facebook as well.

The New York Post reported, “Justin Sylvia, public information officer for the Sacramento Fire Department, confirmed to the Post that the man seen in the video died and that the incident occurred.”

“This is a confirmed medical aid call with a person under CPR. The crew from Engine 1 administered advanced life support efforts to attempt to resuscitate the patient,” Sylvia said.

Authorities have been cracking down on the state’s drug epidemic. The feds have been routinely busting up drug users in Los Angeles’ MacArthur Park, the Post has reported, notorious for its drug use.

Meanwhile, San Francisco is second on a list by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for most fatal drug overdoses.

According to Axios, the targets include “Iranian military coastal radars, anti-ship missile positions and air defense systems.” A U.S. official told the outlet the strikes are wider in scope than Tuesday’s.

CENTCOM put out this statement: “At the direction of the Commander in Chief, U.S. Central Command forces have started conducting additional strikes against Iran to further degrade their ability to threaten freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz. The United States is holding Iran accountable for recent unjustified aggression against commercial shipping and civilian crews freely navigating a vital international waterway.”

The BBC is reporting, “Iranian media have reported explosions being heard at several locations across the south of the country.

State-run outlets report several explosions being heard in the cities of Konarak and Chabahar, with IRNA saying power has been cut off in parts of the latter.”

Heck Yeah! Obliterate them! Regime change! Don’t Stop! Crush them into nonexistence! Let’s Go! America! May our men & women serving there be safe!!

Kolfage founded We Build the Wall in order to build border walls when the government would not because of Democratic Party obstruction.

Kolfage was sentenced to 51 months by the same DOJ operation that targeted Trump.

After a little over two years in a hospital prison, Brian was released to home confinement and arrived in Florida on August 12, 2025. He was forced to wear a giant ankle monitor on his only remaining limb, his left hand, for several months. His home confinement has ended, and he is now on supervised release.

While Brian was in prison, he wrote a letter about what was going on:

The same prosecutors who targeted President Trump targeted me, Stephen Bannon, Tim Shea, along with other members of We Build The Wall. They were not just happy with stopping us; they wanted to ruin our lives and reputations forever.

The Obama activist judge abused her role and seemed to work in partnership with the prosecutors.

On top of sentencing me to prison for 51 months, she fined me $2.8 million, which was her attempt to ruin me financially after I finish my sentence.

Because Brian doesn’t have legs and only has one hand, he can’t just go get a job anywhere. He is paying off a massive fine that Democrat feds levied on him. This fundraiser is to help him get by in everyday life. He gave three limbs and much more for his country. The least we can do is help him out in his hour of need. Please share this with everyone you know.

DONATE TO BRIAN TODAY.

This is the official fundraiser to help Brian Kolfage. It is run by Jeff Rainforth, the former photographer and news editor for We Build the Wall. Jeff also led the movement to secure Brian’s release from prison and to secure a pardon from President Trump.

I didn’t tell Brian about this fundraiser until after I had planned it out. He didn’t want to do a fundraiser for himself and asked that I not start one for him while he was in prison. After I informed him of this fundraiser, he said it was OK.

Do what you can to help this war hero out! He gave so much, and sick, leftist feds want him to be ruined financially. Thank you in advance, everyone!

DONATE TO BRIAN TODAY.

Below is a video I made of our border wall, marking its 7th anniversary of construction and America’s 250th birthday.

Have a great year of freedoms, everyone!

My Facebook post is going viral! Go share it & join the conversation to pressure DHS to push this through! GOGOGO!

Reuters News is reporting that U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin said that the “administration is drawing up plans to stop processing international travelers and cargo at ​major U.S. airports in “sanctuary cities” that have declined to cooperate with an immigration crackdown.

The ‌move could effectively halt international air travel and commerce at major airports in Democratic states, with millions of foreign tourists expected to stream in for next month’s start of the FIFA World Cup.”

Heck yeah! Keep the pressure on! Sanctuary cities will lose TONS of money if the flow of foreign tourists & businesses is cut off! Let’s Go! ICE, ICE, baby! America!!!

“A pending green card application does not give someone legal status to be in our country,” a DHS spokesperson said in a statement Tuesday.”

According to a DHS statement, ICE has issued more than 65,000 fines, now totaling OVER $36 billion!

The DHS is still offering the amazing deal on the CBP Home app, which lets people fly home for FREE and get a $2,600 stipend. If they do that, they have the option to return legally! Can’t beat it!

WATCH:

The fines are psychological, surely. They can hold it over the heads of illegal aliens, and legally they owe the money. It’s meant to get the illegals to self-deport. They are definitely freaking out about it.

There’s typically a 5-year statute of limitations on federal fines. But if an illegal alien is outside of the country, the clock for that five-year term is suspended, and it starts back up once they get back in the United States.

DHS released this about the fines: “The $1,000 parole fee applies to all aliens granted parole under INA Section 212(d) (5)(A), including initial parole, re-parole, parole in place, or parole from DHS custody, unless they qualify for one of ten statutory. exemptions.

• The fee is triggered upon the actual grant and effectuation of parole, not upon filing a parole request or receiving a travel document. This means that any parole granted on or after October 16, 2025, is subject to the fee, even if the request was submitted earlier.

• The fee will be collected by the three DHS components responsible for parole decisions: U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).”

Let those fines rack up! We welcome people who come legally cuz Americans are awesome! Come in the right way!

(The privately-funded border wall that triple-amputee vet Brian Kolfage had constructed in Sunland Park, NM in video - filmed by me)

According to Yahoo News, the federal government filed “condemnation paperwork Friday ostensibly to seize a 7-acre parcel of state trust land along New Mexico’s southern border, according to the State Land Office.

In March, U.S. Customs and Border Patrol offered to buy the property near the Santa Teresa border crossing for roughly $800,000, writing in a letter the property was needed to “construct new border infrastructure ... namely, steel bollard border barrier, the installation of detection technology, and roads.”“

New Mexico state leaders refused the offer, though. Now, the land will just be Taken, and the much-needed wall WILL be built!

Heck yeah, let’s go! Build the wall! High, wide, and super electrified! Do it! America!

DHS is shattering records with more than 605,000 deportations and 1.9 self-deportations

Since January 20, 2025, DHS enforcement operations have resulted in more than 605,000 deportations. DHS has prioritized removing the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens as part of the Trump Administration’s efforts to return law and order to the United States.

Additionally, thanks to the comprehensive efforts of DHS law enforcement, 1.9 million illegal aliens have voluntarily self-deported since January 2025. We encourage all illegal aliens to use the CBP Home app to get a free flight home for Christmas and $1,000.

“The Trump Administration is shattering historic records with more than 2.5 million illegal aliens leaving the U.S. DHS has deported more than 605,000 illegal aliens and another 1.9 million have self-deported. Since January 20, DHS has arrested more than 595,000 illegal aliens,” said Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin. “Illegal aliens are hearing our message to leave now. They know if they don’t, we will find them, we will arrest them, and they will never return.”

President Trump and Secretary Noem unleashed U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to carry out targeted operations to remove criminal illegal aliens. Additionally, President Trump delivered the most secure border in history.

The rapid decline in the illegal immigrant population is already being felt nationwide, from reduced strain on public services to a resurgence in local job markets.

ICE has learned a lot about mass deporting illegal aliens this year. And the agency has been on a massive hiring spree. Next year should see many more self-deportations and removals.

The New York Post is reporting:

WASHINGTON — A crazed gunman shot two National Guard troops in a cowardly “ambush”-style attack — leaving them in critical condition — just blocks from the White House on Wednesday, according to law enforcement sources and officials, who shortly after confirmed that the suspect was in custody.

SHARE THIS IF YOU THINK MARK KELLY SHOULD BE COURT-MARTIALED!

I’ve been hammering Sen. Kelly with videos I took while covering the border crisis during the Biden era. I camped right on the border in all four border states for about a year and filmed about 200,000 people from around the world crossing illegally.

“Quit crying, Senator Mark Kelly. Democrats like you told Border Patrol to IGNORE the law & let 10s of millions of illegals in the country. A lot of them were terrorists & hardened criminals. I filmed All of it. You’re an insurrectionist.”

I was part of the group that built the first privately-funded border wall in American history with triple-amputee veteran Brian Kolfage, and I’m glad to see major advancements!

Even my liberal friends (some are very far left!) are shocked when I show them my footage.

Because of that, I’m going to work to get major donors to get the footage on TV and on major shows on social media that liberals watch.

I believe more Democrats and liberals would be concerned about illegal immigration if they saw what I saw. I believe many center-left Democrats would defect and even vote Republican if they saw the massive waves of illegals that crossed daily.

WATCH:

I spent almost an entire year camped on the border filming what Democrats allowed to happen. Tens of millions of people from around the world were allowed to cross illegally. I have exclusive footage of hundreds of thousands who crossed.

IMAGINE IF WE RAN THESE VIDEOS AS ADS ON CNN, NBC, ABC, CBS, AND MORE.

I believe if we get these videos and images in front of liberal eyeballs, we can change the minds of many and affect the coming midterm vote and probably the next presidential election.

If you’d like to help in some way, let me know. I can use experienced video editors and people with large social media accounts for sharing. Also, people with networks that include wealthy GOP/conservative donors who may want to get behind the sharing of this information.

Thanks to all who supported my solo, freelance border work over the years. We can make sure it is put to good use for the betterment of America and freedom.
