Free Thought Project – by Matt Agorist Toms River, NJ — Howell police Sgt. Richard Conte, the head of Monmouth County’s emergency response team, was arrested on Friday and charged with attempting to lure a child into a motor vehicle. The veteran cop, in a supervisory position, has since been suspended without pay. Conte was busted on Thursday in a state-wide sting operation setup to catch child predators.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. (AP) - A sarcastic sign in the window of a Connecticut restaurant asking people not to let their dogs pee on the eatery's outside flower pot has earned the owner a $250 fine. Duc Nguyen, owner of Duc's Place in New Haven, tells the New Haven Independent he was disgusted with people allowing their dogs to urinate on his pot. He thought a humorous sign was a good way of discouraging dog walkers from letting pets relieve themselves there. It read: "Attn: dog owners. This is a pay-per-pee flower pot. (Pay inside or leave your address and we'll kindly return the favor.)" Honda Smith, the city's public space enforcement officer, said Nguyen broke ...

National security adviser John Bolton is expected to announced Monday that the U.S. will shutter the Palestine Liberation Organization's (PLO) office in Washington, D.C., The Wall Street Journal reported. “The Trump administration will not keep the office open when the Palestinians refuse to start direct and meaningful negotiations with Israel,” Bolton is expected to say, according to a draft of his speech reviewed by The Wall Street Journal. Bolton will reportedly threaten the International Criminal Court with sanctions if it carries out investigations into the U.S. and Israel. The action against the PLO, which serves as the main entity representing the Palestinian people, ...

President Donald Trump has shifted the economy so that once-disregarded blue- collar manufacturing workers are now recovering jobs faster than coastal service-sector employees, the Washington Post acknowledged Sunday. “Blue-collar jobs are growing at their fastest rate in more than 30 years, helping fuel a hiring boom in many small towns and rural areas that are strong supporters of President Trump ahead of November’s mid-term elections,” said the Post, under the headline “Under Trump, the jobs boom has finally reached blue-collar workers. Will it last?”

Poster Comment:I can't boycott a company that I never bought from. Even before they signed Krapperdick, there were plenty of reasons not to buy Nike products, made in sweat shops overseas. New Balance has a line of shoes made in America. They come in wide widths and they last for years. Levi's has announced that they are donating millions to gun control causes. That's another company that I cannot boycott because I already stopped buying their crummy product years ago. Pro football.....and now college ball where players are paid to play, plus get a free education in Black Studies, have turned me completely away. The game is almost exclusively negro.

A long-anticipated plan to enforce the largely ignored public charge provisions of the nation’s immigration laws that require prospective immigrants and visa holders to be able to support themselves without relying on government aid could be unveiled by the Trump administration as soon as this month. A source close to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) rulemaking process who requested anonymity said that proposed regulations will be published this fall, and likely this month, defining the phrase “public charge” under Section 212(a)(4) of the Immigration and Nationality Act. The upcoming change was previously reported in the media, but usually with little ...

Seaside Heights, NJ — A fairly worrisome video has been shared with the Free Thought Project this week purporting to show a man being arrested after police stopped him for riding a bike without a bell. The video, posted to Facebook by user A Dot Norwood, shows officers from the Seaside Heights police department temporarily detaining a man who was riding his bike. In the first brief video, the officers appear to stop the man and then let him go. However, in the second video, we see them stopping him again. According to Norwood and the man being arrested, police stopped him for riding his bike without a bell on it. As the video shows, however, police quickly escalated charges ...

Perfect! President Trump in Fargo, North Dakota yesterday responded to the attack leveled against him by name by former President Barack Hussein Obama. Earlier in the day, Obama gave one of his long, boring, lecturing speeches in which he sanctimoniously attacked Trump repeatedly. In just a few words, Trump cut Obama down to size by saying, when asked his reaction to Obama’s Speech: “I’m sorry, I watched it, but — I fell asleep.” I’ve found he’s very good — very good for — sleeping.” Once again, Trump zeroes in on the essence of an opponent! Obama’s lectures are so old, so tired – good for sleeping!

CINCINNATI (AP) — The shooter who killed three people in a Cincinnati office high-rise once acted disoriented after being fired four years ago in South Carolina, and he filed a recent lawsuit that a judge in June said "borders on delusional." Authorities on Friday said they have not figured out why 29-year-old Omar Enrique Santa Perez opened fire inside the lobby of a building where he never worked or had any known connection. The city's police chief said the gunman's mental health history is one of several areas they are investigating. Police Chief Eliot Isaac said Santa Perez bought the 9 mm handgun legally about a month ago in Cincinnati before he randomly shot ...

Burt Reynolds, the mustached sex symbol of the 1970s and 1980s, who ruled the box office with good-ol’-boy movies like Smokey and the Bandit and earned the critical praise he so badly desired in Starting Over and Boogie Nights, died Thursday in Florida of cardiac arrest, his agent confirmed to Yahoo Entertainment. He was 82. As much as Reynolds represented an era, he also stood as a timeless cautionary tale. After a five-year run as Hollywood’s No. 1 male movie star, from 1978 to 1982, Reynolds fell into a funk of flops and personal problems, including unfounded health rumors and a nasty tabloid divorce from TV star Loni Anderson, from which his career ...

By calling Jeff Sessions a dumb Southerner, Trump has done the impossible

(CNN) If, as Bob Woodward alleges and is being reported in early extracts of his tell-all book about the Trump White House, President Trump called his Attorney General Jeff Sessions, an Alabama resident, a "dumb Southerner," he may have finally done something he has long been unable to do: unite black and white Southerners. We may not agree politically; actually, we disagree passionately on most issues. We don't see eye-to-eye on the issue of race and Confederate monuments and memorials. Even our views of Jesus and Christianity are diverging and increasingly at odds. But boy are we tired of having to contend with the stereotype that we are slow and unintelligent. This side ...

Instead, we will cover his campaign as part of our Entertainment section. Our reason is simple: Trump’s campaign is a sideshow. We won’t take the bait.

California Puts Cancer Warnings on Coffee

CPR: The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is coming out against a California ruling that requires coffee sellers to place cancer warnings on their products. California’s Proposition 65 requires businesses to display explicit warnings if cancer-causing agents are present in their products. Acrylamide, which is a byproduct of roasting coffee beans, is on the list of Proposition 65 carcinogens. Research found that lab rats were at a greater risk of developing cancer after consuming the chemical in high doses. But a human would need to consume 35,000 cups of coffee each day to face the same risk. A Los Angeles County Superior Court judge nevertheless ruled in March that coffee ...

Just a decade ago, “socialism” was a dirty word in American politics. Debates over its merits were mostly limited to obscure blogs, niche magazines and political parties on the other side of the Atlantic. But more recently Bernie Sanders, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and a handful of other politicians have breathed new life into the label, injecting a radical alternate vision for the U.S. economy into the mainstream political debate. Ahead of the midterms, politicians like Ocasio-Cortez, Michigan’s Rashida Tlaib, and Kansas’ James Thompson have proudly held up their endorsements from Democratic Socialists of America, the country’s largest socialist group, whose numbers ...

Goes golfing, that is. Once again President Trump dared to play golf while everyone else in Washington was still sobbing uncontrollably a week after McCain kicked the bucket. A real president would have spent the entire weekend on his knees praying for McCain’s reincarnation. I assume that’s what “President Hillary” has been doing with all her “Wicca” friends and supporters. The (Dis) Associated Press, CBS News, etc., etc. is pretending to be oh, so upset about this.
