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

After announcing that his family is under federal investigation, reportedly related to taxes and business income, a spokesperson for California Gov. Gavin Newsom said Friday that the office was "working to prepare" tax returns for tax years 2021 through 2025 "for transparency," adding that, "unlike Donald Trump, the Governor has nothing to hide."Upon his election as governor in 2018 Newsom promised to release his full tax returns each year, but has not held to that promise;
Keir Starmer's premiership appears to have entered its final act. Just over a week after Andy Burnham stormed back into Parliament with a crushing by-election win, the Prime Minister is - according to senior Labour figures cited by The Observer - preparing to set out a timetable for his own departure, with a "clear statement" possible as early as Monday.It would be a remarkable collapse. Starmer led Labour to a landslide less than two years ago
Sen. Ruben Gallego repeatedly used campaign cash to fund luxury outings with his wife and to care for his children since launching his campaign for Senate in 2023, according to a POLITICO review of campaign finance records and a person familiar with the senator’s spending.
The Arizona Democrat has used his leadership PAC to fund recent trips to Miami, Chicago, Disneyland and Disney World with his family. Gallego has tapped that PAC and his main campaign committee for more than $18,000 in reimbursements for child care since 2019 — including $400 to his wife’s mother for babysitting.
Bring Back the Patriarchy
replies
I'd like to use Father’s Day to make a humble request: Let’s bring back the patriarchy. Whatever we currently have just isn’t working.
Empowering an odd collection of feminazis, soy boys, pronoun people, emotional nutcases, women pretending to be men, and men pretending to be women has produced a dysfunctional world that makes no sense. We’ve got gays celebrating Muslim jihadists who throw gays off buildings for sport. We’ve got “Me Too” pink-hat-ladies defending pedophiles and rapists from decorated military veterans now serving as ICE agents. We have male Democrat Party politicians harnessed with strange contraptions that allow them to “breastfeed” adopted babies.
CHICAGO — A spate of shootings in Chicago has led to at least 38 injuries and seven deaths since Friday evening, police say, prompting President Donald Trump to renew his call for a military intervention in the nation's third-largest city. "Why isn't Governor Pritzker calling me for help. I could make Chicago a safe City in ONE MONTH, in ONE YEAR, it would be one of the safest!!!" Trump said in a Sunday morning Truth Social post. (Snip) Preliminary information shared by Chicago police indicate there have been at least two dozen shooting incidents since 5 p.m. on Friday. Those killed
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.
Scandal-scarred Rep. Ilhan Omar and her hubby have gone from the penthouse to the poorhouse.
The husband of the Minnesota “Squad” firebrand — who once valued his venture capital and wine empire at up to $30 million — now claims to be pocketing as little as $200 a year.
[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.
Disney purists (like me) wince a bit when the rides that have direct connections to Walt Disney get changed. Some things sound promising, like the long-overdue updates to Walt Disney’s Carousel of Progress.
Others are cringey and obviously aimed at placating the left, [snip]
Autopia is one of the original attractions at Disneyland Park. It’s essentially one of those “kids get to drive a car” rides — in other words, slow go-karts. They’re loud, and they allow kids to be in control.But the California bureaucrats are now telling Disney that it must convert the Autopia ride vehicles to electric by 2027 or shut the attraction down.
The 22-year-old son of Democratic New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand raised $30 million in investments to launch a derivatives exchange startup already valued at $300 million, according to a report.

Today it's reported that he's received $30 million in venture capital funding to launch a derivatives exchange. His mom sat on the Senate Agriculture committee—which has jurisdiction over derivates—until this past year

One look at Kyle "I'm Antifa" Wagner using every conceivable grammatical use of the F word, and one can find how getting death threats, stalking, and conspiring to harm or kill federal officers appears to be a real threat. The feds sure think so, which is why the feds rolled up tough guy Kyle "aka Kaos," in Minneapolis this week and netted him a hat trick of charges.
He's one scary and unhinged-looking dude. Wagner was charged with solicitation to commit an act of violence, interstate threats, and conspiracy stemming from last winter's Minneapolis riots, "direct actions," and violence against federal agents from the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and other
Another Civil War, WHY?

The Left is actively striving to instigate extensive disorder and rebellion. The illegal immigration, protests, riots, urban destruction, the naked transgenders dancing on the White House lawn, the exaggerated rhetoric, and even the latest massive plan to attack the White House and kill government officials exhibit a sense of coordination, instilling fear in the largely uneducated populace of a mythical America—cultivated by the left-dominated education system over the past five or six decades that has taught hatred of country and capitalism.
We will explore the fundamental reasons behind the Left's inability to accept our Constitution and American culture.
The leadership on the left are communists and historically hate fascism.
WASHINGTON, DC - Earlier in June, the FBI announced the arrest of a 60-year-old fugitive found residing in the Philippines who fled the United States after failing to appear for his sentencing in connection with pleading guilty to numerous federal charges involving healthcare fraud back in 2019.
FBI Director Kash Patel announced the arrest of 60-year-old Herbert Leon Kimble via social media on June 19th, highlighting how the apprehended fugitive was among those listed on the agency’s “Most Wanted Fraudsters” list.
According to authorities, Kimble had run a Medicare fraud scheme between 2014 and 2019, reportedly amassing $1.2 billion in ill-gotten gains
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) blasted a federal court order requiring Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to release Salah Sarsour, the president of the Islamic Society of Milwaukee, while his removal case proceeds.
Sarsour, a Palestinian lawful permanent resident who has lived in the United States for more than three decades, was arrested by ICE in March. Federal officials argued that he poses a foreign policy concern. DHS also alleges that he obtained his green card after providing false information during the immigration process.
DHS responded sharply after U.S. District Judge James Patrick Hanlon, a Trump appointee to the Southern District of Indiana, ordered Sarsour released from custody.
A doctor told Joy Reid Friday that the recent Michelle Obama joke made at the UFC White House fight was giving her heart palpitations.
Dr. Frita Fisher, a quadruple-board-certified nephrologist and former Fox News guest, went on ex-MSNBC host Joy Reid’s YouTube show to discuss the medical threats facing black women.
When Dr. Frita first saw the viral clip of UFC fighter Josh Hockit shouting, “And lastly, Michelle Obama is a man! Am I right, America?” after his match, she told Reid that she was “personally humiliated.” “I felt my heart having palpitations. I felt my chest tighten. I felt personally humiliated
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, sat down with Fox News Digital

I Iran
Reading the many and various takes on the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Iran is like reading through a stack of inkblot interpretations. People see in it what they are inclined to see. I agree with Don Surber that David Limbaugh’s view is the most accurate:
Maybe I’m too optimistic but the more time that passes the less I’m worried about the MOU because Trump has made clear that he knows what all lawyers know: an agreement to agree is not binding like a formal contract and that -- it now seems to be clear -- is how he regards the MOU.
Further, he has made it quite clear that
Ive been writing about electric vehicles since 2011, not because I have any objection to them or those that buy them. I just don’t want to pay for others’ greenie virtue signaling.
Fortunately, with the end of the Biden Administration, the EV death spiral has nearly reached its inevitable, final crash. EVs were never ready for prime time. They were never sufficiently flexible to replace conventionally powered vehicles, particularly for single-car families. They’ve always been a niche product, purchased mostly by the top 7% of households in income, particularly because they were far more expensive than conventional vehicles in the same classes. Those folks had all the conventional vehicles they wanted
California’s Public Utilities Commission is pressuring the state’s regulated utilities — PG&E, Southern California Edison, SoCalGas, and others — to steer roughly $633 million in annual procurement toward businesses certified as “LGBT-owned.” Under General Order 156, as expanded by Assembly Bill 1678 in 2014 and given numerical targets in a 2022 CPUC decision, large utilities must pursue aspirational goals of 1.5 percent of their spending with firms at least 51 percent owned and controlled by lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender individuals. To qualify, owners must submit documentation through the Supplier Clearinghouse proving their sexual orientation or gender identity — letters from LGBT organizations, personal references attesting to orientation,

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.
In a statement, the IRGC Navy “warned ships not to approach the waterway,” adding that the ships’ “safety would be at risk if they did so,” NBC News reported.
“Iran’s top joint military command” explained that the closing of the Strait of Hormuz was in response to “breaches of commitments by” the United States and Israel, according to the outlet:In response to the statement from the IRGC, Capt.

“DEPORTATION FLIGHTS AT A RECORD HIGH,” DHS wrote in a post on X, replying to a post in which the Washington Examiner shared that nearly 900,000 illegal aliens have been deported since the start of the Trump administration in January 2025.
DHS added that the American people gave the Trump administration a “mandate to arrest and remove criminal illegal aliens,” adding that under President Donald Trump and DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin, the agency would “continue to deliver.”
