President Trump attended an Orthodox Jewish fundraising event at the Intercontinental Hotel in Manhattan on Tuesday evening. Four hundred Orthodox Jews participated in the event, contributing an estimated $100,000 each for the honor of paying a personal tribute to the Commander-in-Chief.
Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Jacobson recited the blessing said upon seeing a non-Jewish ruler. Continue reading “Rabbi: Blessing Trump as King Shows He is the Final President Before the Return of Davidic Dynasty”

She is frequently described as the woman who brought Donald Trump to God.
She offered a blessing at his inauguration, said prayers at the launch of his re-election campaign, and recently claimed while publicising a new book that he once wanted to construct a vast, glass cathedral, telling her “let’s build this before we’re too old”. Others have called her a fraud. Continue reading “Charlatan or saviour: What will Trump’s controversial new pastor bring to the White House?”
Somewhere along the line of human evolution, fears caused many of us (especially those who lost their link to the natural environment and came to live in crowded, stressful living conditions) to shrink into a smaller way of understanding — and living — our existence. We needed to feel safe. And the unknown made us fearful. So we shrank the unknown into manageable bits that took much of the meaning — and the magic — out of it.

Orange County, FL — School resource officers in Florida always seem to be in the news for abusing or otherwise causing grave harm to the children they are allegedly sworn to protect. In case after infuriating case we’ve seen Florida cops cower behind a wall while children were murdered in a school to sexually assaulting the children they are tasked with protecting, to beating up small girls and even handcuffing and arresting 6-year-old children. Another one of these incident unfolded last week as an officer was captured on video grabbing a child by her hair and throwing her around.

A man who identifies himself as an instructor at the University of California-Berkeley publicly proclaimed Wednesday that Americans who live in rural areas are “bad people” who deserve “uncomfortable” lives.
Jackson Kernion, who describes himself as a Graduate Student Instructor at Berkeley, having taught at least 11 philosophy courses at the university since 2013, took to Twitter Wednesday to explain the academic reasoning behind his distaste for people from rural America, calling those who live in rural areas “bad people who have made bad life decisions.” Continue reading “Berkeley ‘instructor’: ‘Rural Americans’ are ‘bad people’”
“There are only two things we should fight for. One is the defense of our homes and the other is the Bill of Rights.”
“War is a racket. It always has been… A few profit – and the many pay. But there is a way to stop it. You can’t end it by disarmament conferences. You can’t eliminate it by peace parleys at Geneva. Well-meaning but impractical groups can’t wipe it out by resolutions. It can be smashed effectively only by taking the profit out of war.” Continue reading “In light of Veterans Day, some quotes by Major General Smedley Butler”

Spokane, WA — Spokane Police Department Officer Dan Lesser didn’t actually quit on his own terms. He was either forced to step down or requested to stop being a K-9 handler following a viral video depicting a violent arrest in which Lesser sicced his police K9 attack dog on a man while threatening to kill him.

A student at the University of Michigan is being investigated by campus police after he was recorded stealing and destroying recruitment materials from a conservative student group. The video shows the vandal dumping items onto the ground, tearing-up signs and throwing property in the trash.
When one of the TPUSA members told the vandal “Stop it. It’s against the law to steal,” the vandal replied, “You know what else is against the law? Hate speech.” Another member asked the vandal “What were we doing that was hateful, sir?” to which he replied, “Nothing.” Continue reading “Vandal deems conservative group’s speech ‘hateful,’ destroys their property”

Know County, IN —The average rate of families who experience domestic violence in the country is around 10 percent. However, when we look at police officer families, the 10 percent number quadruples. As the National Center for Women and Policing points out, two studies have found that at least 40% of police officer families experience domestic violence. It happens so often that it is not even reported on in the media any more unless the case is utterly horrifying — like the one below.

The “Epstein Didn’t Kill Himself” meme has reached an entirely new, unprecedented level as it has officially crossed the line from internet meme into physical reality via the underside of a beer can.
Tactical Ops Brewing in Fresno, California is printing the message “EPSTEIN DIDNT KILL HIMSELF” on the bottom of beer cans, according to local Fox affiliate KMPH. Continue reading “California Brewery is Printing “Epstein Didn’t Kill Himself” on the Bottom of Its Cans”

Chicago, IL — Because of their gross negligence and incompetence, the city of Chicago is facing a slew of lawsuits for raiding the homes of innocent people — allegedly by mistake. TFTP has reported on several of these lawsuits in which cops raided a four-year-old’s birthday party and held other children at gunpoint. One of these families has even been raided — mistakenly — three times. One family’s recent mistaken raid, however, exposed a blue wall of silence and showing how far the Chicago police department is willing to go to cover up their crimes. After their requests to receive the body camera footage from the brutal raid were denied several times, an innocent family has finally gotten that video. But it comes with a catch — video of what happened during the first 20 minutes was conveniently missing.

The Las Vegas City Council approved a controversial ban Wednesday that makes it illegal to camp or sleep on the streets in parts of the city, a measure critics say unfairly criminalizes homeless people.
The ordinance, which passed 5-2 after several hours of public comment, makes it a misdemeanor to rest, sleep or “lodge” in Las Vegas’ downtown district and other residential areas if shelter beds are available. Violators will be fined up to $1,000 or jailed for up to six months. Continue reading “Las Vegas adopts ban that prohibits sleeping, camping on streets and sidewalks”
Data collection on children while they attend school is unfortunately not new and continues to happen despite increasing opposition. Of course it’s creepy. But data collection a la “Surveillance Capitalism” is always creepy. Unfortunately, it seems to affect all of us – from cradle to grave – whether we knowingly and willingly participate in it or not (see 1, 2, 3).

Tempe, AZ — Police in Arizona are seemingly always in the news for brutality and criminal behavior. Just last month, we reported on an Arizona cop who was caught on video shooting his AR-15 into a crowd of teenagers, killing a 17-year-old boy. Just two weeks before that, TFTP reported on Trooper Tremaine Jackson, who was arrested for allegedly kidnapping and raping over a dozen women while on duty. Now, only weeks after raping and killing by Arizona cops, another video has surfaced showing cops taser a man in his own home while he held his baby.
