The family of Kerry Sheron, the 69-year-old U.S. Army veteran and owner of Southern California’s iconic “Trump House,” has received nearly $50,000 in donations to their GoFundMe campaign in just a week following his tragic death from a savage, unprovoked beating outside his home.

As of Saturday, the fundraiser, titled “Support a Veteran Critically Injured in Brutal Attack” and organized by Sheron’s daughter Alejandra Nava, has raised $49,419 of its $55,000 goal from 667 generous donors.

The funds will go to funeral and memorial expenses, travel costs for family members, immediate financial needs, and ongoing support as the family mourns the devastating loss.

The description on the GoFundMe page reads in full:

It is with shattered hearts that we share that Kerry passed away peacefully on May 24, 2026 surrounded by family and love after suffering a brutal and unprovoked attack outside his home in Escondido, California.

Kerry was a proud U.S. Army veteran known in the community for proudly displaying American flags and patriotic decorations outside his home. His loss has devastated our family beyond words.

This is the official fundraiser created and managed directly by Kerry’s immediate family. Funds raised will help support funeral and memorial expenses, travel costs, and immediate family needs as we navigate this heartbreaking tragedy.

We are deeply grateful for every prayer, donation, message, and act of kindness shown to our family during this painful time. Thank you for continuing to keep our family in your thoughts and prayers.

I, Alejandra Nava, the beneficiary’s daughter, am organizing and managing this fundraiser on my mother’s behalf during this incredibly difficult time. Donations will help support our family as we navigate the many unexpected challenges and financial burdens that have arisen in the aftermath of this tragedy, including immediate needs, travel, housing stability, and ongoing family support. Funds will be managed responsibly and used to assist my mother and family as needed during this transition.

Sheron’s Escondido home had become a local landmark, affectionately known across conservative circles as the “Trump House,” covered in pro-Trump banners, MAGA flags, and American flags.

The proud Army veteran was well-known in the community for his unapologetic patriotism and public displays of support for President Trump.

As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, on May 20, Sheron was standing outside his home when 32-year-old Navy veteran Thomas Caleb Butler allegedly approached and launched a vicious, unprovoked assault.

Deputy District Attorney Ross Garcia explained in court, “It was a single punch to the jaw. The victim then falls to the floor, and there are subsequent hits to the victim’s head area.”

Sheron suffered catastrophic traumatic head injuries and was rushed to the hospital in critical condition.

He lived for several days, connected to machines and heavily bandaged.

Sheron passed away on May 24, surrounded by loved ones.

Butler was arrested after a witness tried to intervene, and he fled on foot.

The savage killer remains jailed without bail. He has pleaded not guilty to initial charges of attempted murder, elder abuse, criminal threats, and battery.

Charges will be upgraded following Sheron’s death.

Butler is scheduled for formal re-arraignment on June 4.

Why are U.S. citizens born overseas to parents eligible to vote in a state where they’ve never lived?

That’s a question every American should be asking their state lawmakers.

Another question Americans should be asking is why would any lawmaker or secretary of state would be in favor of someone voting in their state who’s never lived there? Isn’t voting supposed to be about choosing the candidate who will best represent the US citizen living in their community, state or federal government?

In a significant ruling just days ago, Special Superior Court Judge Hoyt Tessener delivered a major win for election integrity in North Carolina. The court sided with Republican groups who argued that “never resident” voters — individuals born overseas who have never lived in North Carolina — should not be allowed to vote in any elections in the Tar Heel State.

ELECTION INTEGRITY WIN!

Never Resident voting is officially UNCONSTITUTIONAL. The ruling from a Wake County judge confirms the common sense principle only North Carolina citizens can vote in North Carolina elections. #NCPOL pic.twitter.com/SYqsuYTb9n

This latest decision builds directly on previous rulings by the North Carolina Supreme Court. In 2025, during the hotly contested Supreme Court race between Democrat Allison Riggs and Republican Jefferson Griffin, the NC Supreme Court ruled 4-2 that “never residents” are not eligible to vote in state and local elections under the North Carolina Constitution. The court made it clear: only actual residents of North Carolina can vote in North Carolina elections.

The new Superior Court ruling goes even further by addressing federal elections, closing the loophole that Benson-style election officials have been exploiting nationwide.

Michigan’s Parallel Fight To Keep Inelligible Voters Allegedly Living in Foreign Countries from Voting In State and Federal Elections

This battle is not limited to North Carolina. In Michigan, the Michigan GOP and the Republican National Committee sued Jocelyn Benson only weeks before the November 2024 general election.

On October 9, the MIGOP and RNC filed a lawsuit against MI SOS Jocelyn Benson and Jonathan Brater, Director of the MI Bureau of Elections demanding that Benson follow the Michigan Constitution, which requires voters to have actually resided in the state. The lawsuit targets the Secretary of State’s policy that allows UOCAVA (Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act) voters — including civilians who have never lived in Michigan — to register and vote using their parents’ old address.

On October 21, a Democrat Judge Sima Patel, a Democrat Governor Whitmer appointee, dismissed the MIGOP and RNC lawsuit against MI SOS Jocelyn Benson and the MI Director of Elections, Jonathan Brater. The lawsuit simply asked for the two top election officials to follow the MI Constitution and verify that ONLY Michigan residents can vote in our elections from overseas:

The Michigan Constitution allows Michigan residents—and only Michigan residents—to vote. See Const. 1963, art. 2, § 1 (“Every citizen of the United States who has attained the age of 21 years, who has resided in this state six months, and who meets the requirements of local residence provided by law, shall be an elector and qualified to vote in any election except as otherwise provided in this constitution. The legislature shall define residence for voting purposes.”)

The Michigan judge said the lawsuit was an attempt to “disenfranchise” voters.

Despite clear constitutional language requiring six months of residency in Michigan, Benson’s office has been interpreting federal UOCAVA rules in a way that allows “never residents” to vote.

Michigan Constitution of 1963, Article II, Section 1 clearly states:

“Every citizen of the United States who has attained the age of 21 years, who has resided in this state six months, and who meets the requirements of local residence provided by law, shall be an elector and qualified to vote in any election except as otherwise provided in this constitution.”

MI SOS Jocelyn Benson took to “X” to boast about the judge’s decision while, at the same time, misleading Michigan voters into believing the lawsuit had anything to do with “military voters” in a post on “X.”

She wrote: “A win for voters and democracy today in Michigan!” adding, “A federal court upheld our work to ensure military service members and their families serving overseas can vote, rejecting the RNC lawsuit as an “11th hour attempt to disenfranchise these electors.”

I responded to her dishonest propaganda tweet with a chart showing the large disparity in numbers between overseas non-military compared to military members and their families.

MOST of the UOCAVA voters are not US military or family members.

The lawsuit was not aimed at US military members, as they DEFINITELY provide ID & are legitimate residents of the state where they vote.

In August 2025, the Michigan Court of Appeals rejected the appeal filed by the Republican National Committee, the Michigan Republican Party, and a local clerk against Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson.

The court ruled that the lawsuit was filed too late. They said the delay would have caused major problems for the 2024 election. Because of this, the case was thrown out.

The judges did not decide the main issue: whether people who have never lived in Michigan should be allowed to vote in Michigan elections. As a result, Jocelyn Benson’s current policy allowing these “never resident” voters remains in place, which is a clear violation of the constitution.

Curiously, the appeals court never mentioned the millions of MI voters, including those serving in our US military, whose votes are at risk of being canceled out by an unchecked system of voting only available to overseas, non-military voters, who potentially have the ability to change the outcome of the elections in Michigan.

These cases highlight a growing national crisis. Progressive election officials are using obscure interpretations of federal law to allow people who have never set foot in a state to cast ballots that can decide close elections. Military voters and their families are being used as cover while large numbers of non-residents flood the system.
North Carolina’s courts have now repeatedly affirmed what should be common sense: Only residents should vote in their state’s elections.

Will Michigan’s courts have the courage to do the same? Or will Jocelyn Benson continue her crusade to keep Michigan’s elections as opaque and unsecure as possible?

Independent journalist Nick Sortor, who blew the lid off years of taxpayers’ abuse at the hands of Somali fraudsters, infiltrated an Antifa camp at the Newark, New Jersey, ICE protests.  His findings will not shock anyone who understands the astroturfing power of radical leftist funders.

As he moved through the camp, he found tens of thousands of dollars in equipment, food, and even riot gear. Hot meals are delivered every hour.  Clearly, there is a massive, shadowy infrastructure behind the movement that is providing funding.

Anti-ICE protests, especially in 2025–2026, are primarily funded by a network of left-leaning nonprofits, dark-money groups, and major philanthropic foundations.

Including Neville Roy Singham, an American billionaire living in Shanghai, George Soros’ Open Society Foundations, Tides Foundation / Arabella Advisors network, and others.

Sortor shared the undercover video to X, noting, “BREAKING EXCLUSIVE: I INFILTRATED the Antifa camp at Newark ICE with a hidden camera.”

“Tens of THOUSANDS of dollars of equipment, food, and even RIOT EQUIPMENT has been supplied. Hot food delivered every hour.”

“ARREST THE FUNDERS, AND THIS WILL STOP.”

Newark has become a hotbed of lefty public tantrums.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, rioters occupied the New Jersey ICE facility this week and were seen setting up barricades to block vehicles leaving the facility.

On Wednesday, President Trump responded to the anti-ICE rioters at the Delaney Hall Detention Center in Newark during a cabinet meeting, calling the demonstrations “fake” and “paid for.”

“It’s all paid-for protesters. You can see by the signs,” Trump said, shrugging off the lawlessness. “These aren’t protesters. These people are fake. They’re all paid for.”

DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin further responded to the Democratic lawmakers and New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill, who showed up to support the insurrection on Memorial Day, as well as reports that the illegal alien detainees at the ICE facility are holding a hunger strike.

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche announced on Friday that two wicked leftists have been arrested, one who threatened to kill an ICE agent and his family, and another who is accused of biting agents, outside the Delaney Hall Detention Center in Newark, New Jersey.

One crazed lunatic was caught on video screaming at agents, "I'll kill your whole f*cking family! Your whole f*cking family is dead! Your children, your wife, all dead!"

He continued, "I have your face, motherf*cker! You're dead. Dead!"

Acting Attorney General Blanche responded to the incident during an interview with Fox's Will Cain on Thursday, noting that the Department of Justice knows his face, and "We will find him."

"Think about how disgusting this individual is, threatening his family and his children with death," Blanche said. "We see his face, and we will find him, and when we find him, we will arrest him because it is a crime not only to threaten law enforcement, but not surprisingly, to threaten their family as well."

The next day, Blanche announced the suspect's arrest.

Told you. @FBI just arrested the man who threatened to kill ICE officers and their families. FAFO. https://t.co/ai2Y46nmOR

As The Gateway Pundit also reported, two individuals were also arrested this week after attacking agents with a chemical substance near the ICE facility.

In a fiery Truth Social post on Saturday morning, President Donald Trump unleashed on an activist Obama-appointed federal judge who just blocked the safety renovations and name change at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts and demanded he face criminal charges for hiding massive conflicts of interest involving his radical left wife.

The development comes just one day after U.S. District Judge Christopher R. Cooper ruled that Trump’s hand-picked Kennedy Center board illegally added the President’s name to the venue and improperly voted to close it for two years of critical structural repairs.

Cooper sided with a lawsuit from Democrat Rep. Joyce Beatty and ordered Trump’s name stripped from the building, website, and all materials within two weeks. He claimed the renovations could proceed without shutting down the facility, despite expert warnings of imminent danger.

In the lengthy Truth Social post, the President laid out the shocking web of connections proving the judge cannot possibly be impartial and called for him to face justice.

The president began by explaining the needed repairs.

“Can you imagine? A Barack Hussein Obama Judge named Christopher Cooper has stopped a magnificent structural and aesthetic rebuilding of The Trump Kennedy Center where Millions of Dollars of material, marble, furniture, steel, air conditioning, heating, and so much else was ordered, or soon to be ordered, with the end result being a structure that would no longer be in a potential state of collapse, rusted, rotted, and rat and bug infested, to one that would be the Finest anywhere in the World. It was necessary to close the Center in order to get this work done. It is not possible to have a major and very dangerous Construction job, including the replacement of structural beams, with audiences innocently going in to watch a Play. The marble is in terrible shape, the pipes are gone, the air conditioning and heating systems are 65 years old, and no longer functioning. It was all being torn out to be replaced by brand new Carrier Equipment, at the highest standard.”

“Now that won’t happen anymore because a Judge, whose wife is an anti Trump Hater, and he is too, decided, unprecedentedly, to not allow a desperately needed Building Renovation to go forward. On top of that, he said, ‘Rip his name off the Building, he’s got 20 days to do so,’ even though a large Board of some of the most distinguished people in the Country voted unanimously to put the name up. I didn’t do it, the Board did because they thought it would be good for this dying Institution, which was doing Record Low Business and, especially after COVID, only getting worse — True for other such Institutions throughout the Country, but The Trump Kennedy Center was going to be a special one. It would have fully recovered, when none others will. It would have been a New Standard of Excellence, one of my many Gifts to Washington, D.C. The new Building would have been incomparable, beautiful marble, magnificent chandeliers, the finest carpets, rugs, and furniture, designed at the highest level but, perhaps most importantly, replaced steel on many beams, columns, and girders, making the Building structurally sound again. People shouldn’t be allowed to go into that Building until this is fixed, and yet the Trump Hating Judge wants to keep it open because his wife probably told him to do so!”

Trump went on to explain that Cooper’s wife, Amy Jeffress, is a Democrat activist who has been deeply embroiled in efforts to take the president down.

“Cooper’s wife, Amy Jeffress, who doesn’t use the ‘Cooper’ name because they, as a couple, don’t want people to know that she has a Conflict of Interest with an important Judge, is a Radical Left Democrat, who worked as a Federal Prosecutor and Counselor to Obama Attorney General, Eric Holder, worked behind the scenes for the January 6th Unselect Committee of Political Hacks and Thugs, Dirty Cop FBI attorney Lisa Page in the Hillary Clinton Email Scandal, RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA Hoax, and her Millions of Dollars Settlement, even though she was ‘guilty as hell,’ and is currently representing Sleepy Joe Biden on the release of his audio tapes, and more,” Trump wrote.

Trump continued, “She also works for the same Legal Firm that represented E. Jean Carroll who received a decision against me, now under appeal, that was shocking to the entire World. Amy is totally wired into the Left System, from her husband down, and it is impossible for me to be treated fairly.”

The president asserted that the judge should face charges for failing to disclose his extreme conflict of interest.

“He has a total Conflict of Interest, and should be brought up on charges for not revealing these facts,” Trump wrote.

Under Trump’s leadership, the Kennedy Center board unanimously voted in March to rename it in honor of the President’s transformative work and to close temporarily starting July 2026 for a massive $250 million renovation.

Experts presented evidence of rotting beams, collapsing parking structures, 65-year-old HVAC systems that are failing, rusted pipes, pest infestations, and serious life-safety risks that made continued full operation dangerous.

The board argued that a full closure was essential for safety during major structural steel replacements and aesthetic upgrades.

Cooper dismissed this in a 94-page opinion, calling the board’s decision “ill-informed and seemingly preordained” and ruling that repairs could proceed in phases without a total shutdown. He permanently enjoined the name change, citing the 1964 law establishing the center, which says only Congress can rename it.

Michigan January 6 defendant Isaac Thomas has become one of the first Americans to seek compensation from President Donald Trump’s newly established Anti-Weaponization Fund.

Thomas filed his claim this week seeking approximately $15.1 million in damages stemming from what he describes as years of government persecution, political targeting, and the weaponization of federal law enforcement against ordinary American citizens.

The claim is believed to be among the first filed under the Trump Administration’s new $1.7 billion dollar Anti-Weaponization Fund, which was created to compensate Americans who were targeted by the Biden regimes politicized department of justice.

Thomas and his attorney announced the filing on Monday.

“On Monday morning my attorney filed the first J6 claim for the new $1.7 Billion Dollar Anti-Weaponization Fund,” Thomas wrote on social media.

Thomas argues that the Biden administration transformed federal agencies into political weapons used against conservatives, Trump supporters, pro-life activists, and January 6 defendants.

“The American people rejected the Biden regime’s politics of fear, division, and government weaponization last November because people across this country saw what was happening to ordinary Americans,” Thomas said. “What happened to the other J6ers and me should never happen in a free country.”

The filing seeks compensation for alleged economic losses, emotional distress, reputational harm, legal expenses, and other damages Thomas says resulted from years of investigation and prosecution. Isaac was the youngest person charged in the J6 case at just 18 years old.

According to Thomas, however, the issue goes far beyond money.

“The damage this caused to my life is something money will not be able to fix. To achieve real justice, I urge President Trump’s DOJ to prosecute the officers who murdered 4 unarmed protesters that day, and any others who participated in this disgusting witch hunt against American Citizens.”

The claim is expected to draw national attention as debate intensifies over government accountability and whether Americans who were allegedly subjected to politically motivated investigations should receive compensation.

Supporters of the fund argue that the Biden years represented one of the most aggressive periods of federal overreach in modern American history, while critics have attacked the effort as inappropriate and unnecessary.

Thomas’s former J6 defense attorney Steven Metcalf is taking on this new case as well. Steve provided a Statement to TGP after the filing.

“Isaac was a teenager with no prior criminal history when he became caught up in one of the most politically charged moments in modern American history. For years, he lived under extraordinary public pressure while facing the full weight of the federal government.

This application raises serious concerns about political weaponization, withheld information, prolonged detention, and the treatment of January 6 defendants during the Biden administration. The reported presence of 274 FBI agents and informants within the January 6 crowd is information that deserved transparency from the beginning.

Regardless of politics, every American deserves fairness, due process, and equal treatment under the law. Our concern is not partisan. Our concern is what happens when government power is used in ways that destroy lives before the truth is fully known.

Isaac lost years of his life carrying a label that followed him everywhere. The emotional, financial, and reputational damage has been severe. He is now seeking accountability through the legal avenues available to him, and we intend to continue advocating aggressively on his behalf.”

For Thomas, the filing represents an opportunity to expose what many conservatives believe was a coordinated effort to silence political opposition through the power of government.

As additional claims are expected to be filed in the coming months, Thomas says he hopes his case will help shine a light on what happened to countless Americans who found themselves in the crosshairs of federal agencies during the Biden era.
