Here's the lead paragraph from the link:

Florida officials are conducting a criminal investigation of WeBuildTheWall Inc., a group which says it will build privately the wall on the Mexican border touted by Donald Trump. The organization has raised more than $20 million through a GoFundMe campaign amid questions about how $1.7 million was spent.

I hadn't heard of them before so I looked them up.

https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/dcreport-org/

LEFT-CENTER BIAS

These media sources have a slight to moderate liberal bias. They often publish factual information that utilizes loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience by using appeal to emotion or stereotypes) to favor liberal causes. These sources are generally trustworthy for information, but may require further investigation. See all Left-Center sources.

Overall, we rate DCReport at the end of left-center bias and High for factual reporting due to proper sourcing.

Detailed Report

Factual Reporting: HIGH
Country: USA
World Press Freedom Rank: USA 45/180

History

DCReport.org is a news and opinion website that covers The President and Congress. The website was created by David Cay Johnston, David Crook and Adam Leipzig in January 2017. David Cay Johnston is an American investigative journalist and author, a specialist in economics and tax issues, and winner of the 2001 Pulitzer Prize for Beat Reporting.

Funded by / Ownership

The website is owned by a public charity whose founder and chief volunteer is David Cay Johnston. DCReport.org is funded through donations.

Analysis / Bias

In review, The DCReport has a left-center bias in reporting choices and occasionally uses loaded words in the headlines such as this: Trump Fiddles As The World Burns … And Drowns, Dries And Dies. This website has a clear anti-Trump bias, but sources all information correctly. In whole, the majority of stories on this website favor the left, but not overtly.

A factual search reveals the DCReport has never failed a fact check.

Overall, we rate DCReport at the end of left-center bias and High for factual reporting due to proper sourcing. (5/11/2017) Updated (D. Van Zandt 11/16/2018)

To OP: Thank you for introducing me to another source. Off to go read the article.

A big set of knockers and an empty head. Of course, in return is a big ego with an empty suit.

There is something frighteningly inhuman looking about her face. I can't really put my finger on it. It's just very disconcerting to look at her.

Maybe Jr. is attracted to her because she is starting to look more like Ivana every day.

I really don't understand women who go crazy w/ the plastic surgery. They often end up looking much worse than they would have if they had just aged naturally.

that puts a higher premium on fake beauty than natural beauty.
there is something about a woman who will go to great lengths to be attractive that rings some guy's bells. maybe they see it as a tacit invitation or something.

an expression that always struck me a little funny was "the beautiful people". there are certain kinds of beauty that you can really only buy. and the amount some people spend on it is gobsmacking.
they just have their own little abnormal herd.

i dont get how they dont see what a waste it all is, tho.
i mean, does anyone really think that calista gingrich is anything but frightening looking?

24. I think it's only certain men.

Men who are really out of touch with their sexuality. The ones who have to prove their masculinity to others. They don't take their cues from within, they embrace the "Playboy" culture and choose the women that they think other men will envy them for "bagging".

Women who cater to that usually end up deserving men who go for that type of "beauty". Trump and his sons have always gone for a very low-brow, vulgar kind of woman. The type of woman that would end up as a stripper, a call girl, a trophy, but they would never appreciate a really naturally beautiful or even attractive woman who was gifted in other ways. They don't care about your mind, your heart, your soul. They just want to impress other men.

I thought she looked awful, all those years she was on the FOXNEWS.

Not to mention, she has a terrible voice.

You just can't account for taste.

They always go for the bimbos. Sorry, for those of you who would alert, but you have to admit that there is a certain kind of gold-digger who goes for a certain kind of man who goes for a certain kind of woman who is nothing more than a trophy for him. They both deserve each other.

Look at the history.
