'The most deceptive propaganda to date was perpetrated on the American public'

Fresh off reports that the FBI never even accessed the DNC's computers before it accused Russia of hacking, John McAfee the founder of world famous McAfee anti-virus has delivered a devastating rebuke to the claims being made against Russia in mainstream media.

Accusations that that the Kremlin hacked into the DNC's servers in an effort to defeat Hillary Clinton are totally ridiculous, McAfee said in an interview with RT.

The cyber security expert deconstructed point-by-point the DHS/FBI "Grizzly Steppe report" purporting to document Russia's hacking. McAfee was very confident no state-run hacking operation - certainly not one run by Russia - would make the incredibly stupid and obvious mistakes alleged in the report, such as using a Russian IP address and Russian language.

Police corporals of the Wilmington Police Department who fatally shot an already-wounded, wheelchair-bound African-American man in September 2015 will not be charged with violating the man's civil rights, federal prosecutors with the US Attorney's Office for the District of Delaware have announced.

On Friday, federal officials with the US Attorney's Office for the District of Delaware, the FBI, and the US Justice Department's civil rights division told the family of Jeremy McDole, the man killed by Wilmington police, that evidence does not indicate the officers willfully used excessive force in shooting McDole.

"The Justice Department announced today that there is insufficient evidence to pursue federal criminal civil rights charges against the Wilmington Police Department (WPD) Corporals involved in the fatal shooting of 28-year-old paraplegic Jeremy McDole on Sept. 23, 2015," the US attorney's office said in a release, according to the News Journal.

The encounter between police and McDole, 28, was caught on cellphone video by a witness, eliciting outrage in Wilmington and beyond. Police arrived on the scene after a 911 call claiming an African-American man in a wheelchair was suffering from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. In a lawsuit filed against the city of Wilmington, McDole's family said that McDole was robbed of his wallet and then shot, and that the thief or an accomplice called police claiming a self-inflicted gunshot was to blame for McDole's condition.

Transgender man sues Catholic hospital for canceling 'medically necessary' hysterectomy as part of sex transition

A transgender man is suing a Catholic hospital in New Jersey for canceling his hysterectomy surgery after his doctor deemed the procedure "medically necessary" as part of his sex transition.

The surgery was scheduled at St. Joseph's Hospital in Paterson, but an administrator canceled the operation because of the hospital's religious affiliation.

A lawsuit filed on Thursday claims that a Catholic hospital denied a transgender man a hysterectomy due to ethical and religious directives from the US Conference of Bishops. The man, Jionni Conforti alleges that doing so violated his patient's bill of rights that states hospitals will provide medical services regardless of "gender identity or question."

In June 2015, Jionni Conforti went to St. Joseph's Wayne in New Jersey to schedule his hysterectomy. The head nurse in charge of surgery there "assured" him that there would be no issues having the procedure at either the Wayne hospital or its other location in Paterson.

The procedure was deemed "medically necessary" to treat Conforti, who was diagnosed with gender dysphoria in 2014, court documents said. He had "long struggled with depression and anxiety rooted in the need to align himself with his true sex."

A 57-year-old convicted killer serving a life sentence in California became the first U.S. inmate to receive state-funded sex-reassignment surgery, the prisoner's attorneys confirmed Friday to The Associated Press.

California prison officials agreed in August 2015 to pay for the surgery for Shiloh Heavenly Quine, who was convicted of first-degree murder, kidnapping and robbery for ransom and has no possibility of parole.

Quine's case led the state to become the first to set standards that will allow other transgender inmates to apply to receive state-funded sex-reassignment surgery.

It also prompted a federal magistrate to require California to provide transgender female inmates housed in men's facilities with more female-oriented items such as nightgowns, scarves and necklaces.

The Drug Enforcement Administration is being criticized for marijuana raids in states where the drug is legal, prompting lawmakers to complain that the agency's eradication program is wasting millions of taxpayer dollars.

The DEA received $14 million last fiscal year for its nationwide marijuana-eradication program,according to the Washington Post.

Among the beneficiaries of the program was the state of Utah, which received $73,000 in marijuana eradication funds. Not a single pot plant was found by agents there, however. New Hampshire received $20,000, and agents uncovered a single outdoor grow site with a total of 27 plants.

A drone smashed into a Boeing plane with 80 passengers and 6 crew on board, causing substantial damage to the aircraft as it prepared to land at an airport in Mozambique.

The Boeing 737-700 belonging to airline Linhas Aéreas de Moçambique (LAM) was operating a domestic flight when it was struck as it approached Tete airport, according to the Aviation Herald.

The crew heard a loud bang but continued their approach, suspecting a bird had struck the plane. However, later examination revealed the damage was more substantial than initially thought and caused by an apparent drone collision.

Photos shared online show alarming cracks at the front right of the fuselage.
