83 (Maxironwas | Dreamstime.com) On the night of February 27, Teresa Todd listened as a Border Patrol agent read off her Miranda rights, something intimately familiar to her as the city attorney for Marfa, Texas, as well as the county attorney for Jeff Davis County. Except this time, she was the accused, and she wasn't sure what she had done.Earlier that evening, a trio of young Central American migrants waved her down while she was driving on a West Texas interstate. All three—Carlos, Francisco, and Esmeralda—were limping, she says, suffering from exhaustion and dehydration after making the hazardous trek across the southern border. But one looked gravely ill.Esmeralda ...

The oft-abused tool is used more to raise revenue than to protect public safety. (Ian Mcdonald / Dreamstime.com) If Texas cities want to fine drivers into the poor house, they're going to have to do it the old-fashioned way—with actual law enforcement officers. A bill to ban red light cameras has passed the Texas Legislature and is heading to Gov. Greg Abbott's desk. He's expected to sign it.Red light cameras were allegedly introduced to reduce collisions with an automated system that sent tickets and fines to those who ran through intersections. Or, at least, that's what drivers were told.The reality is that cities use red light cameras as a source of revenue, not for ...

Self-made billionaire, Mark Cuban says that as of right now, Donald Trump cannot be beaten in 2020. Cuban says that not one of the Democrats currently running for president has a chance of knocking Trump off the throne. “Politicians are the least trusted of every profession,” the owner of the NBA’s Dallas Mavericks told CNBC according to Fox News. “If you look at why people voted for Donald Trump, in my opinion, first and foremost it was because he wasn’t a politician.” When Cuban was asked which Democrat has a chance of beating Trump’s re-election campaign, he said: “Nobody right now!”Cuban added that all of the Democrats ...

Among the many violations of the rights to life, liberty, and property Americans have experienced in later decades, the increasing degree of police brutality has played an especially scarring role. Every year, over a thousand people are killed by the police, and every single day there are new victims who lose their lives or get raped, beaten, tortured, or robbed by police officers. Congress and the courts have been complicit in this development, allowing the vast majority of cops accused of misconduct go without punishment or financial liabilities and providing them with increasingly larger budgets and more powerful military equipment. Looking at the bigger picture of police brutality in ...

The Times of Israel ran a column on Thursday calling for the US to pass new laws to stop Mel Gibson's new comedy movie "Rothchild" staring Shia LaBeouf from being released. As The Daily Beast reported last week: "A representative for actor Mel Gibson claimed in a statement Monday evening that the controversial star’s upcoming movie project Rothchild -- a film about a fictional ultra-rich, multi-generational family of Jewish bankers -- was 'completely unrelated' to the Rothschilds, a real life ultra-rich, multi-generational family of Jewish bankers." That explanation didn't satisfy Times of Israel blogger Moshe-Mordechai van Zuiden, who said ...
Truckers Face Years in Prison for Transporting LEGAL Hemp

Because government is the antithesis to freedom, industrial hemp has been banned nationwide since 1937 ostensibly due to the plant’s similarities to marijuana. Many have speculated that this move was also due to the fact that cannabis is in direct competition with the pharmaceutical industry by providing far safer alternative treatments as well as directly competing with the petrochemical industry. However, all this changed in December after President Donald Trump signed the Agriculture Improvement act of 2018, legalizing industrial hemp on a national scale. But thanks to a police state, dependent on locking people in cages for a plant, three truckers in Idaho are facing down ...

ANALYSIS/OPINION: Many libertarians worry that President Donald Trump’s National Security Adviser John Bolton has taken on the role that Dick Cheney held during the George W. Bush administration. Mr. Cheney was seen as the “real” president when it came to foreign policy. Mr. Bolton has become Mr. Trump’s Cheney. Liberty-minded Americans agree with the rhetoric of Mr. Trump that we need better relations with Russia and to end the war in Afghanistan, while staying out of civil wars like the one in Syria. Somehow, Mr. Bolton has undermined Mr. Trump’s rhetoric and has slow-walked the president’s stated goal of dialing back America being everywhere all the time. ...

Neither the cities that have traffic cameras nor the private companies that operate them are the biggest financial beneficiaries of photo enforcement. In states like Arizona and California where automated citations carry points against the recipient’s driver’s license, insurance companies are generating four times more revenue from photo tickets than California and Arizona cities. The Zebra, an online car insurance cost comparison website, analyzed insurance rates for 61 million policies from 650 insurance companies nationwide over the last eight years. The company distilled its findings on 43,500 potential ratings factors into an annual report on the state of automobile ...

Free Thought Project – by Matt Agorist For the last several decades, the US government has openly funded, supported, and armed various terrorist networks throughout the world to forward an agenda of destabilization and proxy war. It is not a secret, nor a conspiracy theory—America arms bad guys. The situation has gotten so overtly corrupt that the government just admitted the Pentagon asked Congress for funding to reimburse terrorists for their transportation and other expenses. Seriously. “The Defense Department requested fiscal 2020 funding to support certain reconciliation activities, including logistic support for members of the Taliban and, in March 2019, they ...

By MassPrivateI Washington, D.C. plans to join a growing list of cash-strapped cities that turn citizens into ticket vigilantes. According to a Fox5 News article, Bill B23-0288 would allow 80 citizens, ten in each of D.C.’s eight wards to print out parking tickets and citations. These government shills will be tasked with spying on motorists and ticketing them if they park too long or violate parking rules. Reason.com warns, “these new citizen parking enforcers would be accountable to no one.” If you think you had problems with your neighbor(s) before, just wait until they have the power to ticket anyone.

Albuquerque, NM — All too often we hear the police state apologist crowd tell those who advocate for police accountability that if people “don’t do anything wrong, they have nothing to worry about.” However, all too often, this is proven wrong as entirely innocent people are beaten, shot, or killed by cops and they did nothing wrong. As the following case illustrates, being entirely innocent is no defense from police kicking in your door and forcing their K-9 to tear you to shreds. Dan Lucero had committed no crime. He had harmed no one and was sitting in his own living room when police kicked in his door, held him at gunpoint and forced their K-9 to maul him. According ...

Houston, TX — The murder of an innocent Houston couple made national headlines earlier this year as police took to smearing their names and threatening those who didn’t believe their official narrative. As the months passed, we learned that the Houston police department’s raid on the home of Dennis Tuttle and Rhogena Nicholas was based on lies and they were murdered for no reason. Now, the case has reached turning point after the family hired a forensics expert to examine the home and found that there is no evidence the officers encountered gunfire.

Sacramento, CA — As TFTP previously reported, the Sacramento police department released the body and dashboard camera footage from an incident last July in which an officer attempted to cause grave injury to a child by running him over with his cruiser. The child’s crime? He was riding his bicycle without the proper lighting. Now, the taxpayers are going to be held liable for this cop’s actions. Oakland attorney John Burris filed the lawsuit this week citing a a “string of recent excessive force incidents” by Sacramento police.

All was quiet on the Colorado State University campus until just before 7 p.m. Friday — before a crowd donning just their undies and running shoes converged on the Fort Collins campus.As they gathered, students broke into a series of chants, some shouting, “I said I’m proud to be a CSU Ram.”Despite the university’s efforts to shut the event down, more than a thousand people gathered Friday night to participate in the annual Undie Run. The run, which first took place in 2008, has never been sanctioned or supported by the university. Nonetheless, for 11 years it’s taken place, typically on the last day of classes before finals week.Other ...

Times of great political and social crisis can almost always be linked back to a common root cause – false paradigms. There are many people out there who have no clue what this phrase means, just as they have no clue what the phrase “controlled opposition” means. Some of these people are new activists to the liberty movement who recently joined because of the fervor of the Trump presidential campaign. They think the world of sovereignty and nationalism revolves around Trump, because frankly, they have been duped by a false paradigm themselves. False paradigms are a base tactic of what is known as “4th Generation Warfare”. The purpose of 4th Gen warfare is described ...

PENDER, Neb. (Associated Press) — A northeastern Nebraska farmer is recovering after cutting off his own leg with a pocket knife to save himself from a piece of farm equipment he had become caught in. 63-year-old Kurt Kaser, of Pender, was unloading corn last month when he got out of his truck and accidentally stepped on the grain hopper opening. An auger in the hopper caught Kaser’s leg, pulling it in and mangling it. Kaser said he couldn’t pull his leg out and didn’t have his cellphone. There was no one around to help. So, he took his pocket knife out and sawed off his leg below the knee. After he was freed, he crawled 150 feet to the nearest phone and was ...

In the land of the free, journalists are now being raided by SWAT teams in an effort to find out their sources and this is in spite of the law protecting journalists from this very act. Freelance journalist Bryan Carmody just fell victim to the police state in California as multiple San Francisco cops with sledge hammers and weapons began breaking down his door last week in an effort to find out his source for a leaked police report. As the Society for Professional Journalists points out, California’s Shield Law protects journalists from being held in contempt for refusing to disclose their sources’ identities and other unpublished/unaired information obtained during the news ...

Tim Conway, who made generations of Americans laugh on TV shows such as "McHale's Navy" and "The Carol Burnett Show," died Tuesday morning, his publicist said. He was 85. Conway won multiple Emmy Awards, most recently in 2008 for his role as a guest star on the comedy show "30 Rock" in which he played Bucky Bright, an old, long-forgotten television star. The actor's big break in Hollywood came on "McHale's Navy," when Conway was cast to play Ensign Charles Parker. He was nominated for a best supporting actor Emmy in 1963. But he'll probably be best known for his work on "Carol Burnett," the iconic 1970s sketch comedy show ...

The U.S. is grappling with record numbers of measles cases since the disease was declared eliminated in the U.S. back in 2000. In Rockland County, New York – ground zero of the current outbreak – the health commissioner blames an anti-vaccine pamphlet that's been circulating in the Northeast for years. Dr. Patricia Ruppert, the health commissioner of Rockland County where there have been 225 measles cases confirmed since October, told CBS News' Dr. Jon LaPook that she's certain the real number is much higher. "I think this has been a long time in coming," Ruppert said. "The truth is there are a lot of unreported cases out there." Ruppert ...
