Apparently I Picked the Wrong Fundraising Strategy

(For everyone who asked: MY GOFUNDME LINK IS IN MY BIO 🫶🏼)

Someone asked how the lone holdout juror can afford a lawyer.

And I was like…

Well, after the Clancy trial blew up, he got a ton of publicity, a GoFundMe was launched, and it raised hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Meanwhile I’m over here trying to raise money for brain tumor surgery like:

“Cool cool cool… apparently I should’ve signed up for jury duty instead.” 😭😂

Because what do you mean one controversial jury vote turns into a six-figure fundraiser?

Obviously I’m joking about “throwing” a murder trial.

But the contrast is WILD.

One person becomes nationally controversial and money pours in.

Someone else needs actual medical care and is out here begging the algorithm for help.

America is a very strange place.

They told me I have a brain tumor. Here’s why I didn’t say anything. 🤍

Men won’t date you.

Friendships turn to pity.

Employers find ways to let you go because you’re now a liability.

And I didn’t want my community focused on that.

But Gary V told me to go online no matter what I’m wearing, no matter what I’m doing, and tell my truth.

So here it is.

They told me I have a brain tumor. I sold everything. Moved into my van with my cat. And I’m living my life doing what I love, what I like, and what brings me peace.

End of story. 🤍

Thank you for being part of the KaraVan Journey. I love you and I’m glad you’re here.

They told me I had a brain tumor so I sold everything and moved into a van with my cat. 🤍

They told me I had a brain tumor.

So I sold all my stuff. Moved into a van with my cat. And took a job as an RV park gate attendant.

That’s my quarter acre lot right on the lake.

I don’t know what this is going to look like. But I’m going to do whatever I want, whenever I want, for as long as I can.

And it’s going to be beautiful. 🤍

🚨🇨🇦 BREAKING: DEADLY DISASTER AT CANADIAN MILITARY BASE — AT LEAST 7 REPORTED DEAD

A catastrophic incident at Canadian Forces Base Wainwright in Alberta has left multiple people dead and injured.

Saturday afternoon, October 17, a major fire broke out inside the military training area.

🔥 Reports describe an explosion.

🔥 Strong winds caused the fire to spread rapidly beyond the base.

🚑 Multiple Alberta hospitals activated CODE ORANGE mass-casualty emergency protocols.

💔 At least seven fatalities have been reported by news organizations, although Canadian officials have not yet confirmed the official death toll.

One Edmonton emergency physician described the scale of this incident as a disaster medical teams might experience only once every 15–25 years.

Canadian authorities have confirmed fatalities and injuries, and investigators are working to establish the cause.

WHAT HAPPENED DURING THAT MILITARY TRAINING EXERCISE?

That remains one of the biggest unanswered questions.

Prayers and condolences to the victims, their loved ones, and the emergency personnel responding to this tragedy.

I’ll continue following verified developments.

🚨 FIRST IT WAS BLURRED… THEN IT DISAPPEARED?! 👀

Katie Zacharia’s farewell photos with President Trump are raising some VERY interesting questions.

📸 PHOTO ONE: A mysterious image on Trump’s Oval Office desk is deliberately blurred.

📸 PHOTO TWO: The image is gone, and other details appear digitally altered.

Here’s why people are paying attention.

Preservation advocates believe the blurred item resembles East Potomac Park, where Trump’s controversial golf course redevelopment is already facing a federal lawsuit.

Hundreds of trees have been removed, and a federal judge has ordered a temporary halt to further cutting.

The administration maintains there is no finalized redevelopment plan, and the blurred image has NOT been independently identified as a golf course map.

But the question remains…

WHY ALTER THE PHOTOS? AND WHAT WAS ON THAT DESK? 👀

Coincidence? Privacy? Or something worth looking into?

👇 I want to hear what YOU think.

🚨 FBI DISCOVERS BONES AND HIDDEN SAFE AT HOUSE LINKED TO SEVEN MISSING WOMEN!

A Philadelphia property connected to a possible serial-killer investigation has produced two significant discoveries.

BONES RECOVERED FROM THE BACKYARD.

A SAFE HIDDEN INSIDE A WALL.

Investigators are examining evidence connected to seven missing women.

Five are feared dead.

The medical examiner is working to determine whether the recovered bones are human or animal.

NO HUMAN REMAINS HAVE YET BEEN CONFIRMED.

The property’s former owner, Raymond R.C. Horsch, died in 2025.

His son faces unrelated federal charges but has not been charged in the missing-person investigation.

COULD THIS BE THE BREAKTHROUGH INVESTIGATORS HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR?

🚨 LAKE MEAD BARREL MURDER: VICTIM FINALLY IDENTIFIED!

Remember the shocking discovery in 2022?

As Lake Mead’s water levels dropped, boaters discovered human remains inside a rusty barrel.

THE VICTIM HAD BEEN SHOT IN THE HEAD.

For years, investigators couldn’t identify him.

Now forensic genealogy has produced a breakthrough.

His name was EDWARD “BUDDY” JACKSON.

Authorities believe he was murdered in the early 1980s.

MORE THAN FOUR DECADES AGO.

The discovery fueled speculation about Las Vegas organized crime, although investigators have not established any connection.

Now police know who the victim was.

BUT WHO KILLED HIM?

🚨 ALEX MURDAUGH DNA BOMBSHELL!

A judge has authorized NEW DNA TESTING ahead of Alex Murdaugh’s upcoming double-murder retrial!

And the evidence at the center of this courtroom battle?

UNKNOWN MALE DNA. 🧬

The defense wants independent testing of DNA recovered from Maggie Murdaugh’s fingernails and cellphone.

Attorneys argue some of the evidence does NOT match Alex Murdaugh.

Prosecutors opposed the request.

But the judge approved it—even though testing could consume the remaining samples.

⚖️ HERE’S THE MILLION-DOLLAR QUESTION:

WHOSE DNA IS IT?

And could the results have an impact on Murdaugh’s retrial?

The unidentified DNA does not establish that another person committed the murders, and no new test results have been announced.

👇 Do you think this evidence could change the outcome of the next trial?
