When Vice President Mike Pence arrived in Reykjavík, Iceland, buildings were flying gay rainbow flags and the president, Guðni Jóhannesson, wearing a gay rainbow wristband, shook his hand. Pence, an evangelical Christian, strongly opposes gay marriage and many aspects of the LGBTQ agenda.

According to The Hill, Pence was scheduled to meet Jóhannesson on Sept. 4 at Hofdi House, a place that faces the IT company Advania. The company that day flew a row of gay rainbow flags in front of their building, which were prominently visible to the public and the vice president.

The Advania company flags had been replaced with the gay flags. Many people commented about the LGBT pride flags on social media.

Advania Director Ægir Már Þórisson told the Icelandic Monitor, “We just felt the need to celebrate diversity today and wanted to show that by flying the flags.”

The Icelandic Monitor also reported that the Efling trade union, another building near where Pence was meeting with Pence and Jóhannesson, decided to change the flags they usually display and replace them with gay rainbow flags.

“Photos of Pence’s meeting with Jóhannesson show the [Icelandic] president wearing a rainbow bracelet on his right hand, which was visible when he shook hands with Pence,” The Hill reported.

Eliza Reid, first lady of Iceland, also wore a gay rainbow bracelet for the occasion, according to The Hill.

Mike Pence, an Indiana Republican, has described himself as a “Christian, a conservative, and a Republican, in that order.”

In 2000, Pence said, “Congress should oppose any effort to put gay and lesbian relationships on an equal legal status with heterosexual marriage.” In 2006, Pence supported a constitutional amendment that would have defined marriage as being between one man and one woman.

Pence opposed the repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” in the military, reported Time magazine.

Pence also opposed an Obama administration directive to force the public schools to adopt inclusive bathroom rules for transgenders.

Actress Kirstie Alley has blasted Hollywood’s left-wing tastemakers over their disdain for supporters of President Donald Trump, comparing their refusal to work with Republicans as comparable to refusing to work with gay people.

In a tweet on Friday, the Cheers actress said that Hollywood’s insular approach to politics amounted to a form of hypocrisy.

“I refuse to be part of the Hollywood asshats who can’t see that ‘NOT working with Republicans’ is as stupid and NASTY as ‘REFUSING to do business with gay people,’ she wrote on Twitter. “STOP ACTING above the FRAY ya damn hypocrites…WE are the same species! let’s help each OTHER ya damn yahoos.”

Alley’s call for unity comes as Hollywood progressives continue to ramp up their attacks against Trump and his supporters. Will & Grace co-stars Debra Messing and Eric McCormack demanded last week that the identities of those attending President Donald Trump’s fundraiser next month be made public.

The 68-year-old actress, who recently appeared on the British reality series Celebrity Big Brother, is one of the few Hollywood figures to out herself as a Republican voter. Despite having previously voted for Barack Obama, she argued in 2016 that then-candidate Trump was “waking the country up” and went on to formally endorse him.

“Donald Trump, whether you like him or you don’t like him, is waking this country up,” she said at the time. “If you hate him, you’re going to talk about how much you hate him. If you love him, you’re going to talk about how much you love him.”

However, the Golden-Globe winner maintains that she is far more interested in human rights causes than partisan politics.

“People recently think I’m some kind of devout Republican, which I’m not…neither am I a devout Democrat,” she said this weekend. “The only thing you could accurately accuse me of would be being a devout human rights advocate … that’s the extent of it.”

After a week of President Trump and the media battling over an outdated and edited projection map of Hurricane Dorian, which had been dubbed “Sharpiegate”, National Review editor Rich Lowry humorously ripped that media on Sunday for their obsession with the story by suggesting they’re like conspiracy theorists “analyzing this with the detail of the Zapruder tape”.

Mayor Pete Buttigieg defended his belief that Christians should have a right to abortion, pointing to Scripture stating life begins when a baby breathes.

“You know, there’s a lot of parts of the Bible that talk about how life begins with breath,” he said when discussing abortion. “So even that is something we can interpret differently.”

Pro-life Christians frequently cite Jeremiah 1:5 to say that life begins in the womb: “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.”

Christians on the left argue that life begins at first breath, citing the account of God creating Adam in the book of Genesis: “Then the LORD God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.”

Buttigieg commented on Scripture during a discussion with ‘Charlamagne tha God’ on The Breakfast Club radio show about Republicans’ grip on the Christian vote in America.

“Right now, they hold everybody in line with this one kind of piece of doctrine about abortion, right?” he said.

Buttigieg admitted, “When does life begin?” is a “cosmic question,” but he repeated that a woman should have the right to an abortion at any stage in pregnancy.

Charlamagne agreed. “I think that if you’re a man that’s against abortion, you haven’t gotten the wrong woman pregnant or cheated on your wife,” he replied. “I’m just saying. We’ve had some slip-ups. I’ve had a few”:

A former campaign staffer for Michigan’s Democrat Attorney General Dana Nessel allegedly said he used Ukrainian hackers to manipulate the election and help Nessel win the state’s closest race in 2018.

The bombshell allegation was buried in a federal extortion lawsuit against Dmitriy Movsesyan, who worked on Nessel’s campaign at various points in 2017 and 2018. (Full disclosure: This columnist funded an independent expenditure against Nessel’s eventual 2018 Republican opponent, Tom Leonard, during the GOP nomination campaign.)

The Detroit Free Press, a politically liberal newspaper that endorsed Nessel in 2018, published an extensive report on the lawsuit early Friday, but omitted any reference to the allegation of election manipulation. This columnist first reported the allegation.

The lawsuit, filed by Executive Car Rental owner Maher Waad in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan, claims Movsesyan “boasted of his underworld network of Ukranian [sic] computer hackers, who Movsesyan claimed manipulated the 2018 Michigan Attorney General Election.”

Obviously, this is a serious allegation that should be investigated by the U.S. Justice Department. The Michigan Legislature should also launch an inquiry, though it lacks the investigative expertise and resources for such a probe.

The allegation is also on par with George Papadopoulos’s infamous comments over heavy drinks to an Australian diplomat — comments that ignited Robert Mueller’s witch hunt into now-disproven claims of collusion by Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign.

It is unclear exactly what Movsesyan did for Nessel, as there are conflicting reports and statements. His social media profile on LinkedIn says he was the campaign’s communications director in 2017. Meanwhile, an official spokeswoman at the Michigan Department of Attorney General downplayed Movsesyan’s role, calling the allegation “horseshit” and saying he was an information technology consultant. However, this conflicts with a 2018 report by MIRS News that described Movsesyan as the now-attorney general’s “original marketing person.”

Regardless of his exact title, Movsesyan was paid $21,651 by Nessel’s campaign, according to both state campaign finance records and published reports.

The lawsuit accuses Movsesyan of extorting Waad for $9,500 not long after Nessel began an investigation into Executive Car Rental for unlawful business practices. He allegedly sent multiple text messages offering to influence the attorney general.

One message included a selfie-style picture of him driving Nessel. “Oh look, it’s your favorite attorney general in my back seat,” Movsesyan is accused of texting.

It is far too early to know all of the facts, but this allegation has potentially wide-ranging implications, not least because Nessel has been relentless in carrying out a hard-left agenda.

Nessel’s greatest hits since taking office in January have included launching a special unit to surveil political opponents under the guise of so-called hate crimes, declining to enforce laws that conflicted with her ideology and uniting Muslims and Roman Catholics to denounce her threat to religious freedom. Even liberal writers have described Nessel as “brash” for turning “her liberal politics into policy.”

Perhaps what is most astonishing about this latest allegation is the almost complete silence from the Michigan press corps. Only the Detroit News picked up the election manipulation allegation in their story about the extortion lawsuit.

Sure, this news broke on a Friday, but I would be kidding myself if I didn’t think Nessel, being a Democrat, isn’t getting the benefit of the doubt or at least an initial pass from overworked journalists who would rather go home early than spend the day reporting an admittedly complicated story. At the very minimum, you would think there might be a few tweets.

After all, the allegation came in a lawsuit, which should give it infinitely more creditability than anything an intoxicated Papadopoulos said.
