  • On 20 May 2017, a USPOLN.com item suggested that Sam Clovis (a former professor of economics, talk radio show host, and Tea Party activist who is now President Trump's purported pick for a U.S. Department of Agriculture appointment) said scientists are dumb and that dinosaurs are a hoax: A source linked at the bottom of the page was Politicops, well known as a purveyor of hoaxes and embellishments based on current events using a model that mixes real stories with fiction. Although Politicops and its sister sites Newslo, Religionlo, and Politicalo have their own disclaimers, USPOLN.com's is nearly identical: Although news outlets reported on 12 May 2017 that Sam Clovis was believed to be President Trump's top pick for the USDA slot, the portions of the USPOLN.com article quoting him on matters of science, paleontology, and climatology are completely fabricated.
