Trump ousts Teleprompter Operator Gambling on His Own Words… only After He Amassed Staggering Six-Figure Sum

President Donald Trump’s longtime teleprompter operator has been sidelined from his White House role after federal investigators discovered he was using the President’s speeches to rake in as much as $100,000 in winnings.

The breach was confirmed in a press briefing today by White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, who returned to the podium for the very first time since her maternity leave.

Facing a barrage of questions from a packed press room, Leavitt did not mince words about the President’s personal reaction to the betrayal, declaring that the President believes the situation is ‘painfully unfortunate and, frankly, a disgrace.’

The scandal centers on Gabriel Perez, a key technical assistant who has managed Trump’s teleprompter scripts since his first presidential campaign in 2016.

Perez allegedly exploited his early access to upcoming speech drafts to place highly lucrative wagers on Kalshi’s ‘Mentions’ market, according to federal watchdogs at the Commodity Futures Trading Commission.

Trump Hyped 20 Companies Days After Buying Stock as Democrats Cry ‘Textbook Corruption’

Donald Trump repeatedly touted companies or their products days after he purchased large amounts of their stocks, according to a new analysis.

The President has broken with past leaders and opted against putting his assets into a blind trust, meaning he can see what stocks are being traded on behalf of his money managers.

The structure disallows Trump or his family from directing trades, but it does give the Republican visibility into what he owns.

And according to a CNN analysis, the President has promoted over 20 companies on Truth Social just days after purchasing their shares.

At times his promotions came paired with announcements that the government would be taking action on issues that could benefit the firms, the analysis states. (Read more from “Trump Hyped 20 Companies Days After Buying Stock as Democrats Cry ‘Textbook Corruption’” HERE)

Marco Rubio: America Will No Longer Ignore the Threat of Left-Wing Violence

For far too long our counterterrorism doctrine has had a blind spot — a blind spot when it comes to extremist violence from the political left.

Even today, the very idea that far-left terrorism could be a serious threat is treated as a right-wing fever dream, or worse, as a dangerous fascist conspiracy. It’s treated this way by many in the press, by many in academia and our universities, and by many of our legacy institutions. You will no doubt see the dogma rear its head in the coverage of this very conference.

In spite of the clear and the undeniable reality, in spite of the objective numbers and statistics, in spite of the fact that in this room today there are representatives from across the political spectrum, we will hear this organized — that this kind of organized violence and terror will be dismissed. It will be dismissed as a partisan fiction.

A whole industry grew up in our countries around the study of extremism. We have think tanks and fellowships and journals and consultancies, with the unspoken understanding among them that the only kind of political violence that was a true threat to our system — I’m sorry — that only one kind of political violence was a true threat to the system.

A bomb planted by a neo-Nazi group was a nefarious and murderous act of evil. It is. (Read more from “Marco Rubio: America Will No Longer Ignore the Threat of Left-Wing Violence” HERE)

Pete Hegseth Demands Troops Prove Their Manhood in Wild New ‘High-T Department of War’ Order

The Secretary of War has announced a health initiative that will introduce mandatory annual testosterone screenings for active–duty US service members aged 30 and older, framing it as a way to keep troops on the ‘leading edge of lethality.’

Pete Hegseth unveiled the policy in a video posted to his official X account with the caption ‘The High–T Department of War.’

In his speech, he described the initiative as a ‘modern step’ toward maximizing the biological readiness and long–term health of America’s combat forces.

A source close to Hegseth says the policy was a response to something called ‘operator syndrome’ – a complex, interrelated accumulation of physiological and psychological health issues – including endocrine disruption, chronic joint pain, traumatic brain injury (TBI), depression and more.

This syndrome is often experienced by special operations forces and long–serving combat veterans after years of deployments and chronic stress.

Under the new directive, testosterone level assessments will be integrated into the military’s standard annual periodic health assessments. (Read more from “Pete Hegseth Demands Troops Prove Their Manhood in Wild New ‘High-T Department of War’ Order” HERE)

JD Vance: Democratic Left Is ‘Full of Sh*t’ on Migration

The Democratic Party’s rising socialist faction hurts ordinary Americans because it helps employers import wage-cutting migrants, Vice President JD Vance told streaming host Joe Rogan.

“The [Democratic Socialists of America] types are a little full of shit when they talk about helping normal people,” Vance told Rogan on July 15, adding:

If you want to help a normal person, don’t provide a corporation nine low-wage migrants to compete against them when they’re bargaining for wages, you actually give workers more power when you have a more restricted immigration policy.

Vance’s comments came amid a discussion about alienated younger voters, many of whom see their chances for prosperity and marriage evaporating amid wage-cutting migration, inflation, and concentration of power among business leaders, technologies, and government agencies. That alienation is empowering the Democrats’ Red/Green coalition led by the immigrant socialist Zohran Mamdani, who is now the Mayor of New York City.

“Unless you go down that pathway of allowing young Americans to own something, socialism is the inevitable outcome.” (Read more from “JD Vance: Democratic Left Is ‘Full of Sh*t’ on Migration” HERE)

JD Vance Accuses Israel of Secret Plot Against Him and Drops Mossad-Epstein Bombshell

JD Vance has claimed he is the target of an Israeli-funded propaganda campaign over his Iran peace push, and that Jeffrey Epstein had ties to the ‘highest levels’ of Mossad.

The vice president made the explosive allegations during a nearly three-hour sit-down with podcaster Joe Rogan.

Vance pointed to a Time magazine report he said proved American influencers were being paid to attack the Iran deal. The report notes that money has flowed through a former Trump campaign operative and is bankrolled by elements of the Israeli government.

‘My response to that is, well, go to hell,’ Vance said of those taking the cash to smear him. The vice president, who complained he has been branded an anti-Semite, declared that Israel is losing the public opinion battle in America.

He also said that ‘figures’ inside the Israeli government are manipulating American public opinion to keep the war going ‘indefinitely.’

Vance then shifted to the administration’s handling of the Epstein scandal, revealing that the disgraced financier ‘clearly had connections to the highest levels of American intelligence’ and ‘Israeli intelligence.’ (Read more from “JD Vance Accuses Israel of Secret Plot Against Him and Drops Mossad-Epstein Bombshell” HERE)

Widow of Man Killed in Butler Trump Assassination Attempt Claims it Was an ‘Inside Job’

The widow of a former fire chief who was killed during the 2024 failed assassination attempt on then-Republican candidate for president Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, believes there is a massive conspiracy theory behind the incident.

Helen Comperatore, the widow of former fire chief Corey Comperatore, was recently interviewed by NewsNation, where she shared her thoughts on the incident that accidentally took the life of her husband.

“I believe it was an inside job, inside the government somewhere,” she said. When interviewer Rich McHugh asked her if she believed it was a “political” plot, she replied, “Oh yeah, absolutely.”

She was then asked whether she had seen any evidence that pointed to a larger conspiracy theory that led to the death of her husband, though she did not provide a concrete answer.

“Oh, I’ve been told things,” she said. “But I have something that happened with me that just afterwards and you’re starting to put the pieces together, it just made total sense.” (Read more from “Widow of Man Killed in Butler Trump Assassination Attempt Claims it Was an ‘Inside Job’” HERE)

Trump Reveals China Stole Voter Registration Data from 220M Americans

President Trump revealed that China stole the voter registration data of 220 million Americans as part of his primetime speech on Thursday.

“This data loss presents an unprecedented election security nightmare,” Trump said.

Some government officials reportedly knew China stole at least some voter registration data — ranging from names and addresses to party affiliations and Social Security numbers — as early as 2020, but didn’t tell Trump about it before the election that year.

There have been multiple reports of Beijing accessing US voter registration data, and an intelligence report declassified in 2022 found that “Chinese officials analyzed multiple US states’ election voter registration data,” but the number of affected Americans has never before been reported.

Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-Ohio) earlier confirmed Thursday that Trump’s speech would have to do with election security and China in a post to X. (Read more from “Trump Reveals China Stole Voter Registration Data from 220M Americans” HERE)

Iran Puts Trump in a Coffin on Huge Billboard in Tehran

The Iranian regime on Wednesday unveiled a massive billboard in Tehran, curved around the side of a building, that depicts President Donald Trump lying dead in a coffin.

Trump’s image on the billboard is disheveled and bloated, with straight, rigid legs and feet pointing straight up, suggesting rigor mortis has set in.

The billboard is also scrawled with graffiti-style messages, mostly written in Farsi, although “We Kill Trump” is clearly visible in English. The “blackboard” area of the billboard appears to be a homage to the billboard upon which farewell messages to the late Ayatollah Ali Khamenei were scrawled during his funeral last week.

Another message on the billboard said “In memory of Minab’s children,” a reference to the Iranian city where a U.S. airstrike on February 28 is believed to have struck an elementary school.

These death threats loom over Islamic Revolution Square, also known as Enqelab Square, which is one of the busiest intersections in the capital city of Tehran. The regime often uses the square to stage rallies and demonstrations, recently including the early stages of the week-long funeral for Khamenei.

Potential Source of ‘Explosive Diarrhea’ Parasite ID’d: Report

Taco Bell lettuce supplied by a popular produce company has been identified as a potential source of contamination behind the parasitic illness saddling thousands of Americans with explosive diarrhea, according to a new report.

Shredded iceberg lettuce supplied to the fast food chain by Taylor Farms has been linked to this summer’s outbreak of cyclosporiasis, according to two individuals familiar with the investigation, The Washington Post reported.

“The signal we have gotten is that there is a very high percentage of people who got sick at Taco Bell, and when investigators asked what their menu items were in common, lettuce came up frequently,” said one of the individuals who spoke to the outlet on the condition of anonymity due to the ongoing investigation.

When the Food and Drugs Administration asked the Mexican fast food giant where they get their lettuce from, Taylor Farms was identified as supplying to stores in Michigan and three other states, where the outbreak has been the largest, according to the source.

Authorities in Michigan previously said that the leafy greens are suspected as the source causing hundreds of cases of the stomach illness based on interviews with over 1,000 patients. (Read more from “Potential Source of ‘Explosive Diarrhea’ Parasite ID’d: Report” HERE)
