Warren, OH — Just last week, TFTP reported on the fabricated story of how Los Angeles Sheriff’s Deputy Angel Reinosa was shot in the shoulder by a sniper as he walked from his patrol car into the station. A massive manhunt ensued as heavily armed deputies in military attire set up a perimeter and locked down the area but it would all be in vein. Reinosa was arrested last week because he made the entire thing up. Now, less than a week later, another cop in Ohio was arrested for doing the exact same thing.  Continue reading “Cop Fakes Story About ‘Black Man’ Shooting Him, So Fellow Cops Ransack Town, Kidnap Innocent Black People”

ITNT – Reporting about China’s coronavirus is turning into a (dis)information war. From fearmongering and war propaganda to inflating numbers of infections and deaths. Who is saying what? ITNT News is taking notes (at this point we don’t see any reason why unsubstantiated claims, by monostream media outlets, about “150,000” and “300,000” infected people are true).  Continue reading “Coronavirus: The Daily Numbers”

The city council of Austin, Texas, has passed a measure in an attempt to decriminalize low-level offenses of weed, but police are threatening to continue arrests.

The recreational use of marijuana is still very much illegal in Texas, but the state’s 2019 legalization of marijuana’s nonpsychoactive cousin, hemp, has left law enforcement with no simple way to distinguish the two substances. (In Texas, hemp is defined as having less than 0.3 percent THC.)  Continue reading “The Austin City Council Voted for Marijuana Reform. Austin’s Police Chief Says He’ll Keep Arresting People.”

Born and raised in Los Angeles, Eilish told the music magazine Pitchfork last summer that she views traditional K-12 education as the equivalent of being forced to eat vegetables. Continue reading “Sibling Grammy Winners Billie Eilish and Finneas O’Connell Praise Homeschooling”

Chairwoman of the Ohio Republican Party, Jane Timken, is defending Republican governors like Ohio’s Mike DeWine for asking the federal government to continue resettling refugees in their states.

For the fiscal year 2020, President Donald Trump will continue cutting refugee admissions by reducing former President Barack Obama’s refugee inflow by at least 80 percent. This reduction would mean a maximum of 18,000 refugees can be resettled in the U.S. between October 1, 2019, and September 30, 2020. This is merely a numerical limit and not a goal federal officials are supposed to reach.  Continue reading “Ohio GOP Chair Defends Republicans Importing Refugees to Fill U.S. Jobs”
