    Shocking footage has emerged online showing a deranged Islamist threatening to blow up a plane and threatening President Trump before passengers manage to save the day. On Sunday, an EasyJet flight to Glasgow, Scotland, from Luton, England, was diverted after a passenger threatened to blow up the plane. As TGP readers know, Trump is currently in Scotland for trade meetings and to play golf. In the footage, a man of apparent Middle Eastern descent is seen standing in the aisle calling for Trump’s death and announcing to the world he had a bomb. “I’m going to bomb the plane!” the...

    Explanation: Have you ever watched a lightning storm in awe? You're not alone. Details of what causes lightning are still being researched, but it is known that inside some clouds, internal updrafts cause collisions between ice and snow that slowly separate charges between cloud tops and bottoms. The rapid electrical discharges that are lightning soon result. Lightning usually takes a jagged course, rapidly heating a thin column of air to about three times the surface temperature of the Sun. The resulting shock wave starts supersonically and decays into the loud sound known as thunder. On average, around the world, about...

  • The Marshall Plan is Over – EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen Announces Details of U.S-EU Trade Agreement

    Okay, this is a very big win. EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen outlines some more details of the U.S-EU trade agreement. The parameters fall similar to the Japanese deal, without the banking aspect. The EU will face (and accept) a 15% tariff rate for most exports to the USA including autos, that’s huge, even with some zero-for-zero tariff sectors outlined. The primary motivating factor was to avoid the 35% tariff rate scheduled for August 1st and provide the EU corporations with certainty in their tariff rate as applied by the USA (15%). WATCH:This is almost full acquiescence to...

    The Steele Dossier continues to be gashed, as new documents reveal it was weaponized for a sinister plot reportedly hatched by Barack Obama. We knew the dossier was unverifiable when it was published in its entirety by Buzzfeed eons ago. It was later revealed to be a Clinton campaign-funded opposition research project. We know it was included in the 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment, the report ordered by Obama, where it was forcibly included despite stringent objections from senior analysts, because it was of questionable value. Barack ordered the new ICA because the initial assessment was that Moscow’s reported election interference...

    When co-host Eugene Daniels asked Conway whether President Trump would grant Jeffrey Epstein's helper Ghislaine Maxwell a pardon or clemency in return for the information she provided to Deputy AG Todd Blanche, Conway had an alliteration ready that's hard to imagine he coined on the spur of the moment. "He's thoroughly capable of doing it. He's a moral maggot who has absolutely no capacity for shame or empathy or remorse."Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

    Once a hub of migrant passage, the El Paso–Juárez corridor has fallen eerily quiet.Trump’s tariff threats have stunned industry on the Mexican side of the border, with factories laying off thousands of workers. EL PASO, TEXAS — Juan Ortíz trudged through 100-degree heat along the U.S.-Mexico border, weighed down by a backpack full of water bottles that he planned to leave for migrants trying to cross this rugged terrain. Only there hadn’t been many migrants of late. When Ortíz started water drops in this especially dangerous stretch of desert near El Paso nearly two years ago, he sometimes encountered dozens...

    The data centers required for Big Tech are driving up electricity demand — and prices.This summer, across a vast stretch of the eastern United States, monthly home electric bills jumped. In Trenton, New Jersey, the bill for a typical home rose $26. In Philadelphia, it increased about $17. In Pittsburgh, it went up $10. And in Columbus, Ohio, it spiked $27.Few customers were happy, of course, but even fewer knew exactly why the rates had climbed so quickly.“I never know why it goes up,” said Vicki Miller, a retired secretary in Columbus. “But I can adjust the thermostat to save...

    In Austin, Texas, where the titans of technology have moved their companies and built mansions, some of their children are also subjects of a new innovation: schooling through artificial intelligence. And with ambitious expansion plans in the works, a pricey private A.I. school in Austin, called Alpha School, will be replicating itself across the country this fall. Supporters of Alpha School believe an A.I.-forward approach helps tailor an education to a student’s skills and interests. MacKenzie Price, a podcaster and influencer who co-founded Alpha, has called classrooms “the next global battlefield.” “I’ve seen the future,” she wrote on social media,...

    WASHINGTON (AP) — Eric Hildenbrand has noticed prices continue to rise this year, even with President Donald Trump in the White House. He doesn’t blame Trump, his choice for president in 2024, but says Gov. Gavin Newsom and other Democrats who control his home state, California, are at fault.“You can’t compare California with the rest of the country,” said Hildenbrand, who is 76 and lives in San Diego. “I don’t know what’s going on in the rest of the country. It seems like prices are dropping. Things are getting better, but I don’t necessarily see it here.”Voters like Hildenbrand, whose...

It comes as Trump continues his short visit to Scotland to open a second 18-hole course at his estate in Aberdeenshire. Sir Keir will travel to Scotland on Monday for one-on-one talks with Trump, which will revolve around how Britons and Americans...

    Law enforcement officials say a 55-year-old New York man reportedly used AI to help him build bombs that he planned to detonate in Manhattan. Michael Gann of Long Island, New York, is accused of building several homemade bombs with the help of AI, an endeavor he claims was “easier than buying gun powder,” according to court documents obtained by NBC News. The suspect, who was indicted by federal prosecutors on Tuesday, allegedly transported the bombs from Long Island to Manhattan, storing five of them and four shotgun shells on the roof of an apartment building in Manhattan’s SoHo neighborhood.

    https://www.uniteforsmartpolicy.org/cusp-commentary/documentary-reveals-chinese-mafia-infiltration-of-americas-rural-communities A new documentary by Maine Wire Editor-in-Chief Steve Robinson, released this month, reveals the “secret drug empire backed by China” that is disrupting American communities. The documentary, High Crimes: The Chinese Mafia’s Takeover of Rural America, was released on the Tucker Carlson network this July and follows Robinson’s years of reporting on the Chinese Mafia’s infiltration of rural Maine. With their purchase of hundreds of rural Maine houses, schools and churches, Chinese organized criminals are growing marijuana illegally and often producing it with illegal, toxic pesticides smuggled into the U.S. from China. The disturbing report may not be so...

    VIDEOThe BEST way to sightsee in Lisbon is on top of a double deck tour bus. You will have a panaromaic view of the city which makes for easy video recording and still camera shots. Also, as you can see, the streets of Lisbon are very narrow which makes it tough for most Americans to navigate while worrying about scratching or causing even worse damage to their rental cars. The weather on the day we toured Lisbon atop the tour bus was absolutely perfect with nary a cloud in the sky. At any time you want to get off the...
