Mike Pence Tangles With Olympian Adam Rippon Over Gay Rights …

He said he would prefer not to meet Mr. Pence at the informal gathering of American athletes and the official delegation held before the Games.

If it were before my event, I would absolutely not go out of my way to meet somebody who I felt has gone out of their way to not only show that they arent a friend of a gay person but that they think that theyre sick, Mr. Rippon told the newspaper.

Mr. Pence has been dogged by claims that he supports conversion therapy since his 2000 campaign for Congress. After stating his opposition to same-sex marriage and anti-discrimination laws that protect gay people, his campaign website addressed the Ryan White Care Act, which provided federal funding for H.I.V./AIDS patients:

Congress should support the reauthorization of the Ryan White Care Act only after completion of an audit to ensure that federal dollars were no longer being given to organizations that celebrate and encourage the types of behaviors that facilitate the spreading of the HIV virus. Resources should be directed toward those institutions which provide assistance to those seeking to change their sexual behavior.

That was widely interpreted as signaling his support for conversion therapy. Representatives for Mr. Pence did not respond to emails seeking comment this week. But in January, a spokeswoman, Alyssa Farah, responded to Mr. Rippon, telling USA Today, This accusation is totally false and has no basis in fact.

In 2016, a spokesman, Marc Lotter, denied that Mr. Pence supported conversion therapy and said his campaign website proposed federal funding for groups that promoted safe sexual practices.

But Mr. Lotter declined to explain what Mr. Pence meant when he referred to groups that celebrate and encourage activity that spreads H.I.V. Gay and transgender groups view that language as directed at their community.

Mr. Rippon repeated his criticism of Mr. Pence on Twitter after the USA Today article was published, but he told reporters he had no interest in picking a fight with the vice president.

That seemed as if it might be the end of it.

But two weeks later, things escalated. On Wednesday, USA Today reported that Mr. Pences office was so concerned about Mr. Rippons criticism that it had taken the unusual step of asking the United States Olympic Committee to arrange a conversation between the two.

Mr. Rippon, true to his word, would not meet with the vice president, the paper reported.

That seemed to be too much for Mr. Pence. On Thursday, he lashed out at the paper, tweeting that the report was fake news and that the journalist who had written it was bent on dividing Americans. But he was careful not to criticize Mr. Rippon.

Mr. Pences communications director, Jarrod Agen, denied that he ever requested a meeting with Mr. Rippon, and said that the USA Today report was just not accurate.

The USA Today report is false & should be corrected, Mr. Agen tweeted. VPs office did not try to arrange a meeting with Mr. Rippon at Olympics.

Christine Brennan, the journalist who wrote the USA Today article, defended her work on Twitter, saying the report is true and therefore will not be corrected.

Mr. Rippons agent, David Baden, agreed.

We were contacted by his office and I think the objective was to have a conversation with Adam, he said in an interview. The request did not come directly to him or Mr. Rippon but went through the various proper channels and that message was then sent to us, he said.

He declined to explain what those channels were. The United States Olympic Committee did not respond to an email seeking comment.

Mr. Rippon obviously respects the office of the vice president and took the request seriously, he said. But the figure skater respectfully declined and said after he was done competing he would revisit the request.

His job is to be an athlete, Mr. Baden said. His mind is on training, competing and doing his best to represent the U.S. going into the Olympics.

Jew Tim Wise tells people to pick a side in this Civil War …

Billy Roper actually agrees with Tim Wise about something.

Once again pretending to be White as he does when it suits him in order to engage in propaganda aimed at Whites, rabid Jew Tim Wise demands that all people, especially all White people, choose a side in what he calls this new Civil War.

Okay.

Be careful what you ask for, kike.

And if its adherents cannot be deprogrammed, then they must be defeated, without the least bit of sentimentality.In fact, you know what very fine people would do to neo-Nazis? They would yell at them. And yes, they might even mace them or punch them in the mouth. Very fine people detest Nazis. In fact, detesting Nazis might be a bona fide requirement the de minimus definition for being considered a very fine personBecause see, now it is time for us to choose a side if we havent already, and to recommit to the fight.

Libya – travel.state.gov

Do not travel to Libya due to crime, terrorism, civil unrest, and armed conflict.

Crime levels in Libya remain high, including the threat of kidnapping for ransom. Westerners and U.S. citizens have been targets of these crimes.

Terrorist groups continue plotting possible attacks in Libya. Violent extremist activity in Libya remains high, and extremist groups have made threats against U.S. government officials, citizens, and interests. Terrorists may attack with little or no warning, targeting tourist locations, hotels, transportation hubs, markets/shopping malls, and local government facilities.

Outbreaks of violence between competing armed groups can occur with little warning and have the potential to impact U.S. citizens. The capital, Tripoli, and other cities, such as Surman, Al-Jufra, Misrata, Ajdabiya, Benghazi and Dernah, have witnessed fighting among armed groups, as well as terrorist attacks. Hotels and airports frequented by Westerners have been caught in the crossfire. Even demonstrations intended to be peaceful can turn confrontational and escalate into violence.

Militia groups sometimes detain travelers for arbitrary reasons, do not grant detainees access to a lawyer or legal process, and do not allow detainees to inform others of their status. U.S. citizens should carry proof of citizenship and valid immigration status at all times, but having these documents does not guarantee fair treatment.

Some international airports are closed, and flights out of operational airports are sporadic and may be cancelled without warning. The U.S. government is very concerned about the targeting of commercial transportation in Libya, and prohibits U.S. commercial aviation operations within Libyan airspace.

The U.S. government is unable to provide emergency or routine assistance to U.S. citizens in Libya as the U.S. Embassy in Tripoli suspended its operations in July 2014.

Due to risks to civil aviation operating within or in the vicinity of Libya, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) and/or a Special Federal Aviation Regulation (SFAR). For more information U.S. citizens should consultthe Federal Aviation Administrations Prohibitions, Restrictions and Notices.

The scope of a complete examination consists of two main functions: first,the recovery process, which includes the discovery and preservation of theprints, and second, the identification process, which involves evaluations,comparisons, and findings related to the recovered impression.(Grieve1988).

Wherever he steps, whatever he touches, whatever he leaves, evenunconsciously, will serve as silent witness against him. Not only hisfingerprints or his footprints, but his hair, the fibers from his clothing,the glass he breaks, the tool mark he leaves, the paint he scratches, theblood or semen he deposits or collects.. All of these and more bear mutewitness against him. This is evidence that does not forget. It is not confusedby the excitement of the moment. It is not absent because human witnessesare, it is factual evidence, physical evidence cannot be wrong, it cannotperjure itself; it cannot be wholly absent, only its interpretation can err.Only human failure to find it, study and understand it, can diminish itsvalue. (Paul L. Kirk 1974).

On September 19, 1991, two German tourists were hiking in the mountains on the border between Austria and Italy when they spotted a body buried in the ice. The two tourists, suspecting foul play, contacted the authorities. As it was not clear at the time exactly where the body was found, police authorities from Austria and Italy responded. Following the normal procedures for the recovery of the body, they attempted to free it from the ice using jack hammers. Unfortunately, the jack hammers were damaging the body, pickaxes and ski poles were then used.
