On Wednesday a warehouse fire erupted in the Los Angeles neighborhood of Boyle Heights, just east of Downtown L.A. The solar panels on the roof of a cold food storage facility continued to blaze through the night, billowing toxic smoke into the atmosphere, and thwarting any efforts made by the Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) to contain it. It is five days later, and the building is still burning. Take note of that last point. LAFD mitigated a fire at this building before, which was caused by the same issue. However, thanks to the cuts that both Gov. Gavin Newsom and L.A. Mayor Karen Bass

Trump posted on Truth Social: The United States Park Police have arrested multiple individuals for vandalizing our Nations magnificent Reflecting Pool. Who would do such a thing? These are very serious crimes having to do with the destruction of National Monuments. Years in jail! Work will begin immediately on its repair. President DJT Trump said Friday his administration had “cleaned, renovated, and beautified over 45 Monuments and Memorials, 28 Statues, and 22 Fountains in Washington, DC,” but added that there had been “real problems with Vandalism” at the Reflecting Pool.

It’s heartening to see foreign soccer fans, especially the Europeans, marvel at their U.S. discoveries. They’ve been awed by Buc-ee’s, Waffle House, and Bass Pro Shops, the best examples of Americana. But what we’re seeing also makes us wonder how long America will still be America. “Soccer fans like Freddy from Germany are embracing U.S. culture as they crisscross the country — and going viral,” says Danielle Shapiro of the Manhattan Institute. “Thousands of Europeans are seeing more of America this summer than many New York Times staffers ever will,” tweets Jimmy G.

A federal judge on Thursday said she’ll only consider parts of challenges to President Trump’s executive order that seeks to restrict mail-in voting, ruling the plaintiffs need to wait before raising concerns about elections beyond this year. A group of voter education nonprofits and Democratic-led states separately sued the Trump administration in April in an attempt to block the executive order, which also requires states to verify that only U.S. citizens are registered. U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani denied the administration’s bid to dismiss the claims entirely, allowing challenges pertaining to the November midterms to go forward.

As Americans gather to celebrate the 250th anniversary of our founding, we should pause to appreciate how difficult it was to get 13 rebellious colonies to agree on anything—let alone on founding a nation. Too many Americans today believe that our political differences have become so intractable and our discourse so toxic that our very democracy is at risk. What they fail to realize is that our political differences have always seemed insurmountable, and our democracy was never easy. The story of the birth of our nation 250 years ago is a story of disagreements, debates, compromises, and moral courage. It’s a story of a group of rebellious Englishmen who—

Former Vice-President Al Gore emerged out of hiding to tout his so-called ‘prescience’ regarding global warming and it quickly backfired. On Wednesday, Gore sat down with ABC ‘News’ to reflect on the 20th anniversary of his environmental propaganda film “An Inconvenient Truth” and the current state of the planet. As TGP readers know, Gore made a series of wild predictions about global warming in the film and in public that have not come to fruition. These included announcing in 2006 that the Arctic sea ice would completely disappear in ten years. It’s now 2026, and plenty of Arctic ice remains.

There is something oddly fitting about a controversy surrounding J. K. Rowling unfolding like a plotline from one of her own books. Not the magic. Not the wands. Not the dragons. The disappearing act. For years, Rowling has occupied a unique place in Western culture. She is simultaneously one of the most successful authors in human history and one of the most controversial public figures in modern publishing. Since speaking out on issues involving sex and gender, Rowling has become a lightning rod in the culture wars, drawing fierce criticism from activists, celebrities, and even some members of the Harry Potter community she helped create.

As I troll the internet looking for gun-related content, I see a lot of stories where there are arrests featuring both guns and drugs. In fact, every sizeable arrest features guns to some degree or another.And today was no different. This time, I've got a story out of Arkansas featuring both.Now, let's keep in mind that federal law prohibits people from lawfully owning guns if they use an illicit substance, and this isn't a case of people with a prescription for pot, which means it's illicit. It prevents felons from owning guns, machine guns are prohibited without certain strict criteria being met, and through it all, these guys had guns.

The House Oversight Committee announced Friday that it would investigate a nonprofit linked to an anti-Trump activist for possible violations of tax laws. House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., announced that his committee would be investigating former Ambassador Norm Eisen’s nonprofit, State Democracy Defenders Fund (SDDF), for possibly using donor funds for private financial interests. Comer said that “The Fund’s most recently available IRS Form 990EZ describes the organization’s primary tax-exempt purpose in three parts: 1) going against ‘democracy deniers’ who break the law; 2) defending free and fair elections; and 3) shaping long-term strategy to ‘defeat autocracy.’

Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham (S.C.) said Sunday that he is “concerned” that the U.S. and Iranian governments have “different” views of the deal that the two sides have agreed to. “I am pleased to hear the memorandum of understanding with Iran to allow the Strait of Hormuz to open has been agreed to. I will be watching closely the ensuing negotiations regarding Iran’s nuclear program and other matters,” Graham, an Iran hawk, wrote on social platform X. I am somewhat concerned that Iran’s view of the agreement seems different than what the American negotiating team is claiming,” the South Carolina Republican added.

Coinciding with his 80th birthday, President Trump announced that a deal between the United States of America and the Islamic Republic of Iran is “complete” with the United States lifting its blockade of Iranian ports in the Strait of Hormuz and both sides agreeing to cease military operations in the region. Shehbaz Sharif, the Prime Minister of Pakistan, whose country has served as an intermediary between Washington and Tehran, said that the agreement will be formally signed by the two parties on Friday in Switzerland.

The Obama Presidential Center finally opened to the public on Friday (not that you care), and the verdict from the internet was swift and brutal. People are calling it a "monstrous insult to architecture," a "concrete nightmare," and simply a "monstrosity." Social media has spent the week comparing the thing to a trash can and a dystopian movie set, which, having seen the photos, feels generous. It’s hideous. Naturally, the man who helped design the building's most mocked feature has a different take. Chris Bird, the Washington structural engineer who designed the upper portion of the center's towering centerpiece,

Jennifer Siebel Newsom slammed the “tradwife” trend on social media and blamed sexism for Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris’ presidential election losses in a recent wide-ranging interview. She stopped in for the interview to promote her new movie, “Miss Representation: Rise Up,” while the Justice Department investigates the tax conduct of her and her husband, California Gov. Gavin Newsom. Siebel Newsom says the “tradwife” trend — which originated from the prominent roles women played in households within the 20th century and prior but has evolved into a social media subculture — oversimplifies women. “For the tradwife phenomenon, it’s like, you

[snip] Omar claimed the total value of the couple’s assets was between $20,000 and $125,000 for 2025, and their credit card and student-loan debt hovered between $30,000 and $100,000 — putting their net worth at negative-$80,000-$95,000, according to the report.

As he prepared to sign his “memorandum of understanding” with the Islamic dictatorship of Iran, President Trump again insisted that his deal was much different than that of his predecessor, President Barack Obama. He’s right — it’s probably worse. Obama’s treaty did not prevent Iran from developing a nuclear weapon, it simply punted the issue down the road in exchange for cash. Trump’s agreement has the same vague promises, the same payouts, but with the added twist that Iran can and will take the world hostage by shutting the Strait of Hormuz at will. On Friday, just days after the signing of the MOU, Iran moved to close the Strait,

Unsuccessful 2024 Democrat presidential candidate Kamala Harris says the word “hope” should be “changed to a verb.” One problem with that. It already is. Hope can be used as both a noun and a verb. Don Lemon, her host on his podcast that appeared over the weekend, did not point that out. But those on social media, where the comment has gone viral, did as the sound bite was reposted on numerous X accounts. “It’s a noun: ‘I have hope that she never runs for any government office again,’” one user posted to X.

President Trump on Saturday said the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool will likely have to be drained to make the necessary repairs after vandals took a knife and put a 250 foot long gash into the pool and poured corrosive chemicals in the water. Many people have been arrested for vandalizing the reflecting pool and peeling off the paint from the bottom of the pool. Former Olympian David Hearn was arrested and charged with misdemeanor for destruction of property for vandalizing the Lincoln Reflecting Pool. According to independent journalist Emily Miller, a man was arrested after jumping into the pool on Friday and cutting out a “huge piece” of the sealant.

Three elderly hikers died in apparent heat-related deaths while traversing the Grand Canyon's inner trails as temperatures spiked above 100 degrees. Rangers and emergency personnel responded to two separate heat-related incidents on June 12 and June 16, according to the National Park Service.

Emergency responders arrived to find the hikers already deceased on the trails. A 72-year-old man was found dead June 12 on the South Kaibab Trail due to heat-related symptoms
