Convicted Killer Suing Trump Demands $75M, Apology, and US Citizenship

An illegal immigrant serving a lengthy prison sentence for the murder of a Michigan woman is suing President Donald Trump, alleging he faced humiliation when his case was used as a political talking point, and is demanding $75 million, a public apology, and U.S. citizenship.

Brandon Ortiz-Vite, 27, who was previously deported from the United States, is serving a sentence of 39 to 102 years in prison for killing Ruby Garcia in March 2024.

Garcia’s body had several gunshot wounds and was found dumped along a road in Grand Rapids. The pair were in a romantic relationship and were engaged in an argument at the time of the slaying.

In a handwritten complaint filed in federal court, Ortiz-Vite named Trump and White House Principal Deputy Press Secretary Steven Cheung as defendants. . .

Ortiz-Vite’s case garnered national attention and was highlighted when Trump, who made combating illegal immigration a large part of his campaign, visited Grand Rapids in 2024. During his remarks, Trump labeled Ortiz-Vite as “America’s problem.” (Read more from “Convicted Killer Suing Trump Demands $75M, Apology, and US Citizenship” HERE)

Enraged Trump warns Iran Each US Soldier Killed Will be Avenged ‘Many Times Over!’

President Trump threatened to attack Iran “many times” over for each American soldier killed as fighting escalates — even as a Qatar-proposed 10-day cease-fire is under consideration.

At least 17 American soldiers have been killed thus far in the war. Three Americans were killed since Friday with a fourth missing and presumed dead — in the first fatalities from enemy fire since March.

“Every time Iran kills an American Soldier they will pay for that killing many times over!” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

“This directive has been passed on to Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Daniel Caine, and every Leader in the Military.”

The US has bombed Iran for nine consecutive nights following the collapse of last month’s memorandum of understanding that called for a 60-day reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and continued nuclear talks.

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)

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)

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.

Trump Slashes Two Utah Protected Areas by More than 90%

President Donald Trump on Monday signed executive orders slashing two national monuments in Utah to roughly a tenth of their current size, throwing open millions of acres of protected land to fossil fuel extraction and mining.

Trump signed the proclamations at a White House gathering flanked by Republican officials including Utah’s governor and two senators, who framed the move as an overdue correction of federal overreach.

“We’re doing something very dramatic and very important for the people of Utah and the people of our country,” said Trump.

“These monument designations are supposed to be the ‘smallest area’ possible to protect the antiquities, and these multi-million acre monuments that are bigger than the state of Delaware certainly do not fit that designation,” added Utah Governor Spencer Cox.

“We definitely care about protecting these antiquities and will continue to do so,” he added. (Read more from “Trump Slashes Two Utah Protected Areas by More than 90%” HERE)

MAGA’s Paid Influencer Scandal Exploding Into Full View

To the Israeli government, enlisting former Trump campaign manager Brad Parscale to claw back support among young conservatives who increasingly hold negative or downright hostile views of the Jewish state and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu probably seemed like a brilliant idea. Parscale’s digital influence campaign would all be kept under wraps; none would be the wiser. MAGA social media stars would keep pumping out the posts, and Americans would, after all was said and done, have a rosier picture of Israel and Bibi. In other words, a psyop was needed to convince America that Israel was still an ally.

But boy, did it backfire.

Responsible Statecraft, a publication of the Quincy Institute, first broke the story about Parscale’s registration as a foreign agent of Israel and his pro-Israel psyop, all the way back in September 2025. Since then, more and more stories have been written about the burgeoning scandal, which also involves paid MAGA influencers, though it has not quite reached the levels of scrutiny it truly deserves. Both the Daily Caller and the Daily Caller News Foundation have covered it several times, as well as a Parscale firm’s operation to harvest data from unwitting World Cup fans. Tuesday marked yet another report, characterized by some as a “bombshell.”

Indeed, something feels different about the latest revelations. The scandal seems to be picking up much more steam than it has in previous news cycles. It might be because sleazier details are coming to light in TIME Magazine’s new exposé, published Tuesday.

Brad Parscale, a veteran of Donald Trump’s 2016 and 2020 campaigns, heads Clock Tower X, an enterprise responsible for building several websites designed to broadcast pro-Israel messaging. Under a lucrative multimillion-dollar contract with a state-guided Israeli PR firm, Havas Media Network, Clock Tower X directed $6 million to SparkFire Technologies. The company uses AI bots designed to “persuade people” and advocate for Israel via text messages, emails, and web chats.

U.S. Treasury Unveils Coin with Trump’s Face, $100 Bill Featuring Presidential Signature

The U.S. Treasury Department has unveiled a new $100 bill featuring President Donald Trump’s signature and a dollar coin featuring his portrait.

Trump’s signature will be included on all denominations of paper currency alongside Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the United States, making him the first president to put his name on cash.

“As Treasury secretary, I only have two mandates — the currency has to say ‘In God we trust’ somewhere on it, and we cannot have an image of a living person,” Bessent explained to Fox News host Jesse Watters while taking him on a tour of the department this week:

“But we have the president’s signature,” the secretary continued. “Which, again, I think is appropriate for the 250th.”

Bessent used “currency” in the “paper money” sense of the word. The department can, however, include living people’s images on special coins. (Read more from “U.S. Treasury Unveils Coin with Trump’s Face, $100 Bill Featuring Presidential Signature” HERE)

US Military Unleashes Another Round of Attacks on Iran for the Third Consecutive Night

President Trump ordered another wave of airstrikes against Iran Monday, marking the third consecutive night the US military has battered regime targets.

“We’re hitting them very heavy tonight, as you know,” the president told reporters in the Oval Office shortly after US Central Command announced the strikes.

“We have tremendous amounts of ammunition. We have numbers that we haven’t had in years, and we’re hitting them very hard and it’ll continue, and we’ll see what happens. But we’re knocking out all of their offensive capability, and we’re controlling the straits.”

CENTCOM announced Monday’s strikes in a statement posted to X.

“At 4:45 p.m. ET today, US Central Command began launching the third consecutive night of strikes against Iran, at the Commander in Chief’s direction,” read a statement released by the combatant command.

“These strikes will continue imposing a heavy cost on Iranian forces and degrade their ability to attack innocent civilians and commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz,” CENTCOM added. (Read more from “US Military Unleashes Another Round of Attacks on Iran for the Third Consecutive Night” HERE)
