Right-wing extremism has a long history in Australia, and support is surging
"We Have a White Nationalist Terrorist Problem [...] There are serious questions about how the United States has approached Islamic extremism, but if even a degree of that vigilance and unity of effort was put toward white nationalism, we’d be safer."

House Dems are demanding White House documents to investigate if Trump is using his presidency for profit. This comes after VP Pence went 180 miles out of his way to stay at a Trump hotel, and Trump’s strong push to host an international summit at his property. The Root’s Dr. Jason Johnson slams House Dems for taking ‘so long to realize that the President’ is ‘scamming us all,’ by ‘using the United States as a way to funnel money into his personal finances.’
Jason says, All the inquiries could be part of an impeachment investigation.

A heavily armed assailant tried to force his way into a synagogue Wednesday in eastern Germany on Yom Kippur, Judaism's holiest day, and two people were killed as he fired shots outside the building and into a kebab shop, authorities and witnesses said.
The attacker shot at the door of the synagogue in the city of Halle but did not get in as 70 to 80 people inside were observing the holy day, a local Jewish leader said. Video of the attack was livestreamed on streaming site Twitch, which said it had "worked with urgency" to remove it.
Witnesses told German media they saw a man open fire wearing camouflage before fleeing in a car. Police in Halle later sent a tweet saying they had detained one person in connection to the attack. They did not say whether they were seeking any additional suspects.
German Interior Minister Horst Seehofer said on Wednesday the shooting was anti-Semitic and said federal prosecutors who are investigating believe there it could be a right-wing extremist attack, Reuters reports.
"Based on current information, we have to assume that it was at least an anti-Semitic attack. According to the federal prosecutors' office, there are enough indications that it was possibly a right-wing extremist motive. They have taken over the investigations," Seehofer said in a statement, according to the news agency.
