The British Columbia Human Rights Tribunal has ruled against Canadian transgender activist Jessica Yaniv in a case stemming from a complaint Yaniv filed against multiple female beauticians who refused to wax Yaniv’s male genitalia. “Self-identification does not erase physiological reality,” said Jay Cameron, a lawyer for the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms, which represented the beauticians. “Our clients do not offer the service requested. No woman should be compelled to touch male genitals against her will, irrespective of how the owner of the genitals identifies.” The Tribunal said in its decision that Yaniv had had filed the “complaints for improper...

If you’re interested in eye-popping, attention-grabbing animals, look no further than hybrids. While hybrid animals like this wolf-dog are a fascinating cross of two separate species, they also reveal a host of ethical problems. < . . . > To create this “bear-dog” hybrid—who didn’t actually have any bear DNA—Russian breeders allegedly used a Chow Chow and some other sort of long-nosed stray. As animal shelter volunteer Polina Kefer put it, “This dog is a ‘badly-made’ Chow Chow.” While the four-year-old pooch might’ve looked cool to some, mentally, he was a mess. < . . . > Unfortunately, all of...

Dutch bishop: Amazon Synod’s ‘politically correct’ agenda ignores Christ NETHERLANDS, October 22, 2019 (LifeSiteNews) — In two searing blog posts published on September 28 and October 21, Bishop Robert Mutsaerts of the Netherlands voiced his concerns over the Amazon Synod taking place in Rome, accusing it of pushing a “hidden agenda.” In his column “Paarse pepers” (“Purple Peppers”) Vitamine XP — a Dutch-speaking blog run by several Catholic priests, including Mutsaerts — the bishop wrote that the Amazon Synod is “the most politically correct meeting of all time.” According to Bishop Mutsaerts, auxiliary bishop of ’s Hertogenbosch (Bois-le-Duc), the...

Yaniv was found to have "engaged in improper conduct" including filing "complaints for improper purposes." The Tribunal...

Comedian Stephen Crowder claimed that YouTube tried to suppress Democratic Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard’s videos following her feud with former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Crowder tweeted a video showing two separate YouTube searches for content related to Gabbard, whom Clinton called "a Russian asset." The first attempt was a standard search on Oct. 18 using an American device, which yielded several videos related to Clinton’s claim that Gabbard was being “groomed” by Russian President Vladimir Putin, but none of the campaign’s videos. The second search was conducted using a VPN which made the search appear as though it were...

Microsoft appears to have been really struggling to get updates for Windows 10 users right of late. What with advising Windows 10 users to install a critical update before any others to avoid potential problems, and then confirming the Windows Update Assistant itself had a security vulnerability.

The Democrat-media complex exploded on Tuesday over testimony from Bill Taylor, a US diplomat to Ukraine who said he believed Trump withheld aid to Ukraine in order to force Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to investigate the Biden crime family. Bill Taylor, the Chargé d’Affaires of the U.S. Embassy in Ukraine started out on Tuesday with a 15-page opening statement that left Democrat lawmakers ‘gasping.’ Recall, newly released travel documents revealed that Adam Schiff’s staffer took a Burisma Group-funded trip to Ukraine 12 days after the ‘whistleblower’ filed a complaint against Trump and met with US Ambassador Bill Taylor.

Ken Fisher’s sexually-charged speech at a San Francisco conference earlier this month has cost the money manager another big investor. On Monday, Fidelity ended its relationship with Fisher Investments, saying it has decided to reallocate assets within its Strategic Advisers Small-Mid Cap Fund that were previously run by Fisher. Fisher Investments did not immediately respond to FOX Business' request for comment. Fidelity became at least the third big investor to pull its money from Fisher, who manages $112 billion. Last week, the Michigan Treasury Department withdrew $600 million of the state’s pension fund from Fisher Investments due to the money...

When the 2020 Democratic presidential contest kicked off earlier this year, the massive field was hailed as the most diverse in history, with candidates who spanned the ideological spectrum and offered enough in a broad buffet of options to excite any voter. But after 10 months of campaigning and 15 hours of nationally televised debates, another emotion is rising: anxiety. Party leaders and activists are citing weakness in all of the leading contenders, including former vice president Joe Biden, who has been forced on the defensive about his family’s ethics, performed haltingly in debates and set off alarms with his...

Turkey has announced that there was “no need” to restart its offensive against Kurdish fighters outside the current area of operation in Syria because it had been informed by the United States their withdrawal from the border area in the north had been “completed.” "At this stage, there is no further need to carry out a new operation," the defense ministry said late on October 22 in a statement, as cited by AFP.

Vice President Pence said Tuesday that President Trump is following through on his promise to bring U.S. troops home from Syria and talked up the prospect of a permanent ceasefire in the region. Pence insisted that a ceasefire the administration helped broker between Turkey and Syria last week “has held” and claimed Trump’s own moves had paved the way for the possibility of a permanent ceasefire. “Earlier today, we received word from the Syrian defense forces commander that all of their military forces have withdrawn from the safe zone under Turkish military control and before I came here, our team...

Former Vice President Joe Biden condemned President Donald Trump's use of the term "lynching" to describe the House's impeachment inquiry on Tuesday, calling Trump's comments "despicable." In 1998, Biden similarly suggested that former President Bill Clinton's impeachment was a "partisan lynching" in an interview with CNN, according to newly unearthed video along with a transcript seen by Insider. "[H]istory is going to question whether or not this was just a partisan lynching or whether or not it was something that in fact met ... the very high bar that was set by the founders as to what constituted an impeachable...
