Jim Carrey Just Sent Democrats Surprising Message Nobody Saw Coming, It’s Great

Appearing on “Real Time with Bill Maher,” actor Jim Carrey called for left-leaning individuals to “break bread” with those who support President Donald Trump and find “some common ground to love each other.”

Carrey quickly moved the conversation from people being “babysat by the television” to the “dangerous times” happening in today’s society.

“There are generations growing up right now who are learning to lie, that lying is OK, that you’re supposed to hate half the country,” Carrey said.

Sarsour: American Muslims Shouldn’t ‘Humanize’ Israelis

Women’s March leader Linda Sarsour said over the weekend that Muslims shouldn’t be humanizing Israelis, referring to Israel as the “oppressor.”

As reported by The Investigative Project for Terrorism and the Algemeiner, during the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA)’s conference, Sarsour declared that American Muslims “are complicit in the occupation of Palestinians, in the murder of Palestinian protesters” if they’re not actively promoting the Palestinian cause.

“If you’re on the side of the oppressor, or you’re defending the oppressor, or you’re actually trying to humanize the oppressor, then that’s a problem,” Sarsour said.

In Due Process Lawsuit, Appeals Court Sides with Michigan Student Expelled for Sexual Misconduct

if credibility is at stake, "the university must give the accused student or his agent an opportunity to cross-examine the accuser."

A male student who was kicked off campus has alleged that the University of Michigan did not give him the opportunity to properly defend himself against sexual misconduct charges.

Last week, the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals agreed that the lawsuit filed by ex-student "John Doe" against the university has merit. In a decision written by Judge Amul Thapar—a judge with a reputation for defending due process norms in cases involving Title IX, the federal statute that sets rules for campus sexual misconduct cases—the court held that Doe's lawsuit should survive a motion to dismiss.

"If a public university has to choose between competing narratives to resolve a case, the university must give the accused student or his agent an opportunity to cross-examine the accuser and adverse witnesses in the presence of a neutral fact-finder," wrote Thapar. "Because the University of Michigan failed to comply with this rule, we reverse [the lower court's decision]."

US backtracks on Russian spy suspect offering sex for access

WASHINGTON (AP) — Federal prosecutors are backtracking on their allegation that a Russian woman accused of working as a secret agent offered to trade sex for access, according to a Justice Department court filing.

Prosecutors had earlier accused Maria Butina, a gun rights activist in U.S. custody on charges she worked as a covert agent and tried to establish back-channel lines of communication to the Kremlin, of offering to exchange sex for a position with a special interest organization.
