WATCH:

Since Donald Trump has taken his seat in the White House, change has happened and more for the better than the worse. A man who wasn't supposed to win, did and has changed the course of the world without even knowing it. As more and more corruption and conspirators are exposed daily, there is a change in the air and truth is screaming to be first. Men/women who do believe in honor are stepping up to expose those who are making them look bad in the eyes of the people. As a police officer, "HONOR & TRUTH" are what the people want to see when they look at the man/woman who has swore an oath to serve and protect them. A police officer who does wrong, exposed the whole department to criticism from the public. A department that rids the bad apples will find success and support from their community. Waiting for more corruption to be expelled from more police departments around the U.S. as the "Drain the Swamp" campaign continues to expand.

Going far beyond simply cheating on their time cards, three Massachusetts State Troopers have been arrested and charged with embezzlement. According to the allegations brought against the troopers, they stole tens of thousands of dollars when they billed the state for overtime they either did not work or time they stole when they clocked out early. The officers are Paul Cesan, Gary Herman, and David Wilson. In 2016, Cesan is believed to have embezzled $29,000, Herman $12,468, and Wilson $12,450, which amounts to a year's salary for some hourly workers. Following the discovery, Cesan and Wilson resigned, and Herman was suspended.

The extreme level of inequality in the U.S. is battering the poor

Deniers like Nikki Haley refuse to admit that mass poverty exists in their prosperous nation. That would reflect poorly on their capitalist beliefs. But if the skeptics would look at the half of America they don't care to see, the stark display of destitution might shock them. At least until they invent an excuse to remove it all from their minds.

The U.S. poverty rate in 2016 was between 12.7 and 14.0 percent. But the poverty threshold is based on an outmoded formula from the 1960s. According to the Congressional Research Service (CRS), the threshold should be THREE TIMES HIGHER today. And it could be even higher if the true nature of poverty is considered.

Poverty is Not Just a Dollar Figure

There is poverty in the diminishing quality of life for Americans who are unable to pay for medical treatment during years of declining health, and instead turn to life-threatening opioid painkillers, readily available in a nation with less than 5 percent of the world's population and 30 percent of the world's opioid consumption. Poverty is the lack of community support in a winner-take-all society; the stress of overwhelming debt; the steady decline of jobs that pay enough to support a family; the inability to afford a move to a desired neighborhood; the deadening impact of inequality on physical and mental well-being.

A son of the Islamic State (IS) extremist group's leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, has been killed in battle in the Syrian province of Homs, IS's propaganda agency Amaq announced.

Hudhayfah al-Badri was killed in an "operation against the Nussayriyyah and the Russians at the thermal power station in Homs," the group said in a statement late on July 3 showing a photo of a young man holding an assault rifle. Nussayriyyah is IS's term for the Alawite religious minority sect of President Bashar al-Assad.

IS maintains only a small presence in Syria after being targeted for elimination by Syrian and Russian forces as well as U.S.-backed rebel forces in the last year. It is now estimated to control no more than 3 percent of Syria's territory.

U.S. and Iraqi officials have said they believe IS leader Baghdadi remains alive in Syria near the Iraqi border. Baghdadi, who is originally from Iraq, has been dubbed the "most wanted man on the planet," with the United States offering a $25 million reward for his capture. He had four children with his first wife and a son with his second wife. In September, the last voice message attributed to Baghdadi called on his followers worldwide to "resist" their enemies.

Police are calling for books to be banned from school because they talk about police brutality and real life scenarios that they say breeds distrust.

Censorship is a necessity of the police state. Peaceful ideas that oppose the status quo expose the insidious nature of the establishment and are therefore stricken from the public record. This has long been the practice of all empires and it is currently the practice in America today.

Case in point: police in South Carolina are attempting to get two books in a school banned because they talk about police brutality and corruption.

The Fraternal Order of Police in Tri-County have made their case public and are demanding that Angie Thomas's multiple award-winning novel about police brutality, The Hate U Give, on a school's summer reading list, be banned. The union referred to the book as "almost an indoctrination of distrust of police." As TFTP has reported on numerous occasions, all though this book is certainly not "an indoctrination of distrust of police," the police themselves give society every reason to distrust them.

Another book on the radar of the union to be banned is Jason Reynolds and Brendan Kiely's All American Boys, which sees a teenage boy trying to overcome his distrust of the police after he is wrongly suspected of shoplifting and then beaten by an officer. All American Boys even features a cop as a protagonist and mentor, yet the union wants it gone.

Two US Marines have been ordered to pay 26.42 million yen ($239,000) compensation to the family of a taxi driver whom the pair brutally attacked on the Japanese island of Okinawa a decade ago.

Thursday's Naha District Court ruling - made in the absence of the two Marines - comes after the family of the now-deceased Munekazu Ura, sought justice, demanding to be adequately compensated for the barbaric attack.

According to the complaint, the incident took place in Okinawa City on January 7, 2008. Ura, who was driving a cab, picked up Joseph Wayne Riddle and Reginald Crapps, stationed at US Marine Corps Futenma Air Station in the city of Ginowan.

Riddle, a 20-year-old corporal at the time, and Crapps, who was then 19, reportedly smashed a liquor bottled on the man's head. The two Marines then fled the scene without paying the $26 fare, leaving the 59-year-old driver bleeding from his wound. The pair were later apprehended, confessed their crimes and were sentenced to several years in prison on assault and robbery charges.

Joshua Topolsky, co-founder of Vox Media's The Verge, shared incredibly inflammatory and Holocaust-related tweets on Sunday about conservative personality Ben Shapiro.

Topolsky later deleted the tweets after facing immense backlash on the internet.

What are the details?

Democrats are in a state of sheer panic.

They're panicking because last week, Justice Anthony Kennedy -- a reliable vote in favor of certain leftist priorities including abortion and same-sex marriage -- announced that he will step down from the Supreme Court, leaving President Trump a second selection. This apparently will lead to the end of a free America. According to Jeffrey Toobin of CNN, the remade Supreme Court will spell doom: "Abortion illegal, doctors prosecuted, gay people barred from restaurants, hotels, stores; African-Americans out of elite schools, gun control banned in 50 states, the end of regulatory state."

None of this is true, of course. It simply demonstrates the wild overreach to which the left has subjected the judicial branch to date.

The judicial branch was never meant to act as a superlegislature, using the verbiage of the Constitution in order to implement preferred policy prescriptions. In Federalist No. 78, Alexander Hamilton expressed the idea well: "The courts must declare the sense of the law; and if they should be disposed to exercise WILL instead of JUDGMENT, the consequence would equally be the substitution of their pleasure to that of the legislative body." Substituting will for judgment would make the case for utterly dissolving the judicial branch.

Yet, according to the Democrats, the Supreme Court should exercise will instead of judgment. The role of the court, according to Justice Sonia Sotomayor, is to help expedite change in our society: "Our society would be strait-jacketed were not the courts, with the able assistance of the lawyers, constantly overhauling the law and adapting it to the realities of ever-changing social, industrial and political conditions." Justice Elena Kagan believes the same thing, which is why she constantly describes the Constitution as "abstract," leaving her room to interpret it as poetry rather than statute.

A trip to a fast food outlet with his friends turned into a traumatic incident for a Texas teen when he was targeted by a man for wearing a Donald Trump 'Make America Great Again' hat.
