A state-sponsored Ukrainian ultra-nationalist paramilitary unit with neo-Nazi roots has accused a group of US lawmakers of slander after they suggested it should be listed as a terrorist organization.

The notorious Ukrainian paramilitary group Azov took offense after 40 US Democratic representatives called it just that in a letter to the State Department. Led by Max Rose (D-NY), the lawmakers asked why a "violent white supremacist" group "that openly welcomes neo-Nazis into its ranks" has still not been officially listed as a foreign terrorist organization by the US government.

They wrote that the shooter in Christchurch, New Zealand had ties with Azov and "routinely wore a neo-Nazi symbol associated with them." The massacre, which left 51 people dead, directly inspired the recent mass shootings in Poway, California and El Paso, Texas, the lawmakers said, accusing Azov of "radicalizing" American citizens.

The link between Azov and acts of terror in America is clear.

It may be useful to open this topic with an anecdote. Some ten years ago, I found myself in an after-dinner conversation, lubricated by wine, with an American who had been educated at an Ivy League college and was then teaching in Europe. As our conversation drifted toward matters of life, marriage and children, I was initially surprised by his statement that whomever he had married, the outcome in terms of where they lived, what type of house they owned, what kind of holidays and entertainment they would enjoy, and even what colleges their children would attend would be practically the same. His reasoning was as follows: "When I went to [Ivy League institution], I knew that I would marry a woman I met there. Women also knew the same thing. We all knew that our pool of desirable marriage candidates would never be as vast again. And then whomever I married would be a specimen of the same genre: They were all well-educated, smart women who came from the same social class, read the same novels and newspapers, dressed the same, had the same preferences about restaurants, hiking, places to live, cars to drive and people to see, as well about how to take care of the kids and what schools they should attend. It really made almost no difference socially whom among them I married."

And then he added, "I was not aware of that at the time, but I can surely see it now."

The story struck me then and stayed in my mind for a long time. It contradicted the cherished myths that we are all deeply different, unique individuals, and that personal decisions such as marriage, which have to do with love and preferences, matter a lot and have a big effect on the rest of our lives. What my friend was saying was precisely the opposite: He could have fallen in love with A, or B, or C, or D, and ultimately would have ended up in virtually the same house, in the same affluent neighborhood — whether in Washington, D.C., Chicago or Los Angeles — with a similar set of friends and interests, and with children going to similar schools and playing the same games. And his story made a lot of sense.

Kathy Zhu is no shrinking violet, but at least she puts her own name on her controversial statements.

The University of Michigan student, a Chinese immigrant and loud booster of President Trump, told her 162,000 Twitter followers Tuesday morning that fliers had been posted around campus branding her a "white supremacist."

The flier includes a face shot of Zhu wearing a "Make America Great Again" hat and making the "OK" sign, which the Anti-Defamation League claims was "falsely" turned into a "hate symbol" by 4chan users two years ago.

"Michigan, we have white supremacists on campus," the flier reads. "They can be dangerous." Below the photo of Zhu is an image apparently taken from the "Unite the Right" march at the University of Virginia in 2017.

"This is complete slander and incites violence towards me," she tweeted. "Being a trump supporter does not make me a white supremacist. I'm also asian if you [social justice warriors] can't tell."

Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau celebrates his narrow election victory as a success. Yet, in fact, he managed to stay in power largely thanks to the complicated Canadian electoral system ... and a lack of competition.

"You have sent us back to Ottawa, you have given us a clear mandate," Justin Trudeau told a crowd at his campaign headquarters in Montreal, Quebec.These aren't the words of a man who recognizes that voters stripped him of a majority, including a net loss of 30 seats in his home province.

Judging from the mood and words at Trudeau's 'victory' party, one could be forgiven for not knowing that his Liberals lost over 1 million votes compared to 2015, or that their share of the popular vote around the country plummeted by over 6 points.

It would be nearly impossible to know you were celebrating the win for the party that actually got the second largest number of votes! The numbers obviously tell a different story, in addition to numerous other indications from election night that show Canadians are not happy with JT.

Social justice warriors are up in arms over everything and anything these days, except for those issues that matter most to average Americans, like economic inequality, affordable healthcare, and even poverty.

Once upon a time in America, being a Democrat and a liberal actually meant something. It meant, as well as other things, advocating on behalf of economic outcasts who, for one reason or another, tumbled through the gaping cracks of a dog-eat-dog capitalist system that is not known for taking prisoners.

In his 1957 book 'America as a Civilization,' the late journalist Max Lerner described a liberal as someone who has "a passion for battle - against the 'octopus' of the big corporations... for wage-and-hour legislation, for women's rights, for social security."

Those days of true political activism are long gone.

Project Veritas has been a thorn in the side of CNN ever since they started releasing hidden camera video recordings last week. However, things just got taken to an entirely new level after today's bombshell leak.

Earlier today, Project Veritas rocked the fake news network by exposing their disgusting attitude towards sexual harassment and assault that has allegedly occurred involving top CNN executives.

Here's more from Project Veritas:

A federal judge in Chicago on Tuesday refused to dismiss the city's lawsuit against actor Jussie Smollett, who claimed he was attacked by two white men in a hate crime.

U.S. District Virginia Kendall's ruling will allow the city's lawsuit to try to recoup $130,000 the police department spent trying to get to the bottom of Smollett's claims.

Smollett's lawyers argued that their client should not be forced to reimburse the city because he could not have known how much time and money police would spend investigating.

Tech entrepreneur and activist Kim Dotcom has once again blasted Twitter for shadowbanning his tweets, this time in reference to the plight of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange who is fighting US extradition.

"Twitter just shadowbanned my Julian Assange tweets, again. You should know that Twitter is not on your side," Dotcom tweeted, railing against the platform's murky censorship practices.

"If you want to read my free speech and that of many other censored voices you have to visit our Twitter profiles. The deep state controls social media to control you."

Do you ever wake up in the morning and think to yourself, gee, I wish my breakfast cereal was just a little bit more gay. Well, never fear, Kellogg's is here with a brand new gay breakfast cereal that the company hopes will encourage more children to "be themselves," including by getting sex changes to become "transgenders."

According to reports, the new "All Together Cereal" by Kellogg's combines Corn Flakes, Froot Loops, Frosted Flakes, Frosted Mini Wheats, Raisin Bran, and Rice Krispies "exclusively together" in a bright purple box with the word "Together" emblazoned on both the front and back in an LGBT rainbow color display.

Timed to coincide with the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defemation's (GLAAD) recent "Spirit Day" on October 17, the release of All Together Cereal by Kellogg's is an effort to promote "equality and inclusion in the workplace, marketplace and in the communities where we work and live," according to Kellogg's chief diversity officer Priscilla Koranteng.

According to Koranteng, Kellogg's has also donated $50,000 to GLAAD to continue promoting the LGBT agenda to children, which presumably includes having drag queen perverts read to children at public libraries.

"We all belong together," Kellogg's says on its website about its new gay cereal, emphasizing the LGBT theme of coexistence as part of its marketing tactic.

Bolivian President Evo Morales is slated for victory in a highly contentious election after authorities issued a fresh vote tally, prompting claims of fraud from the opposition and chaotic protests across the country.

Following a 24-hour pause in the vote count by the Supreme Electoral Tribunal (TSE), the agency updated its tally late on Monday - accounting for over 95 percent of the ballots - putting Morales just over the 10 percent lead needed to win and avoid a run-off election with rival Carlos Mesa. Morales is currently vying to serve an unprecedented fourth term as president under the Movement for Socialism Party.

The previous figure - issued before the pause on Sunday with some 84 percent of the votes counted - suggested Morales was unlikely to secure the needed margin for victory, sparking allegations of fraud from the Citizen Community Party leader Mesa and his supporters, some of whom took to the streets to protest ahead of the final count.
