Politico Europe reported that "sex between men remains the main mode of transmission of HIV in the EU, which makes men overall three times more likely to contract HIV than women."

Thanks Democrats: MS-13 murder witness found dead after his name given to gang members
A key witness in a murder involving MS-13 gang members was found dead in Long Island thanks to a new criminal justice reform law that requires prosecutors to share witnesses’ identities with defendants.
On Wednesday, Nassau County officials announced that 36-year-old witness Wilmer Maldonado Rodriguez was discovered bludgeoned to death behind an abandoned home in New Cassel on Sunday, New York Post reported.
Nassau County Police Commissioner Patrick Ryder said Rodriguez’s death was a result of the discovery laws progressive lawmakers passed in the New York State legislature, which went into effect on Jan. 1.
“The system failed, the system failed,” the commissioner said at a press conference. “This man is dead because we didn’t do enough … and this law is not helping us.”
Rodriguez was a key witness in an October 2018 attack in which nine MS-13 gang members allegedly stabbed Rodriguez several times and hit him over the head with a bat, officials said. He reportedly intervened when the MS-13 gang members threatened two boys, who they also beat.
By law, prosecutors were compelled to reveal Rodriguez’s identity to an arrested suspect’s defense team. That information, although unproven, made it’s way to other MS-13 gang members, who likely killed Rodriguez.
Notably, Ryder acknowledged there is no evidence that the lawyers handed Rodriguez’s name over to the defendants, who have been in jail since 2018.
“What we do know that right after [the information was shared] we started [seeing] that pattern of intimidation,” and ultimately Rodriguez’s death, Ryder said.
Rodriguez was attacked the day before he was killed, but was able to escape, Ryder said. Police believe he was killed by MS-13 associates of the gang members in jail.
According to Nassau County District Attorney Madeline Singas, before the law was enacted, Rodriguez’s identity was concealed through a court-issued protective order obtained by prosecutors in December 2018.
“This courageous man was prepared to testify against alleged assailants at an upcoming trial, but he was brutally beaten to death before he could,” Singas said in a statement reported by New York Times. “This case underscores the importance of safeguarding the identities of witnesses and victims of crime and our hearts are with Mr. Maldonado’s family and friends as we grieve his loss.”
Laura Curran, Nassau County Executive, added that the new discovery requirements posed a threat to victims and witnesses of crimes.
Mike Murphy, a spokesman for the State Senate’s Democratic majority which was in favor of the new law, defended it, saying Rodriguez’s death “has absolutely nothing to do with...
The UK’s Dumbest Terrorist Tests the Dumbest Justice System a Third Time
On a summer day in the UK, Mohiussunnath Chowdhury left his Luton home, took an anime sword that he had sharpened, typed “Windsor Castle” into his phone, and then followed the directions on the map.
“Tell everyone that I love them and that they should struggle against the enemies of Allah,” the aspiring Muslim terrorist had declared. “The Queen and her soldiers will all be in the hellfire.”
Instead of finding Queen Elizabeth II at the Windsor Castle, Mohiussunnath found that it was a pub offering “great real ales” and “fresh food”. The infidel phone had tried to divert the devout Muslim. Despite the Berkshire pub’s offerings of “grilled loin of pork” and Jägermeister, he didn’t attack it.
The Uber driver got back into his car, took along his anime sword, and this time made sure that the directions were pointing him to Buckingham Palace, not some sort of hellish booze palace. But the Queen wasn’t even there, the soldiers were on guard, and the police intercepted him outside the gates.
The anime sword, unlike a real sword, had an enormous handle, which made it impractical to wield, and all too easy for the police to grab on to. The cops were able to wrestle it away from him even while he kept shouting, “Allahu Akbar”. Two cops suffered cuts before using tear gas to bring him to his knees.
Was it over? No, it was just getting started. The only thing more incompetent than Mohiussunnath was the British justice system which couldn’t convict a terrorist if he were attacking Buckingham Palace.
Literally.
In March, Muslim terrorists had attacked the British Parliament. In May, the Manchester Arena had been bombed. In June, Islamic terrorists had attacked London Bridge. Mohiussunnath had done it in August. The pattern in 2017 was so obvious that it would take two juries to deliberately unsee it.
Sure, Mohiussunnath had used an ISIS avatar on his phone, sent ISIS material over the phone, especially about the Islamic terror group’s sex slaves, and had sent a farewell message telling his sister, “They are the enemies that Allah tells us to fight. Please make dua for me that Allah accepts my efforts.”
But, according to Mohiussunnath’s lawyer, he was just upset and had never wanted to harm the cops. Like nearly every other Islamic terrorist, he was just suffering from depression and feeling lonely.
Virtue of killing infidels
But the jury couldn’t reach a verdict. So a second terror trial was convened for the terrorist. A fellow inmate suggested that he pretend to be moderate and play the game by shaving off his beard.
In between trials, Mohiussunnath began drawing pictures of terrorist attacks in prison. One of the pictures showed Mo opening fire at a cop while shouting...

Top U.S. Officials To Spotlight Chinese Spy Operations, Pursuit Of American Secrets
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – An aggressive campaign by American authorities to root out Chinese espionage operations in the United States has snared a growing group of Chinese government officials, business people, and academics pursuing American secrets.
In 2019 alone, public records show U.S. authorities arrested and expelled two Chinese diplomats who allegedly drove onto a military base in Virginia. They also caught and jailed former CIA and Defense Intelligence Agency officials on espionage charges linked to China.
On Thursday, U.S. Attorney General William Barr, FBI director Christopher Wray and U.S. counterintelligence chief William Evanina will address a Washington conference on U.S. efforts to counter Chinese “economic malfeasance” involving espionage and the theft of U.S. technological and scientific secrets.
China’s efforts to steal unclassified American technology, ranging from military secrets to medical research, have long been thought to be extensive and aggressive, but U.S. officials only launched a broad effort to stop alleged Chinese espionage in the United States in 2018.
“The theft of American trade secrets by China costs our nation anywhere from $300 to $600 billion in a year,” Evanina, director of the National Counterintelligence and Security Center, said in advance of Thursday’s conference.
The Chinese embassy in Washington did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Of 137 publicly reported instances of Chinese-linked espionage against the United States since 2000, 73% took place in the last decade, according to the Washington-based Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS).
The think-tank’s data, which excludes cases of intellectual property litigation and attempts to smuggle munitions or controlled technologies, shows that military and commercial technologies are the most common targets for theft.
In the area of medical research, of 180 investigations into misuse of National Institutes of Health funds, diversion of research intellectual property and inappropriate sharing of confidential information, more than 90% of the cases have links to China, according to an NIH spokeswoman.
One main reason Chinese espionage, including extensive hacking in cyberspace, has expanded is that “China depends on Western technology and as licit avenues are closed, they turn to espionage to get...
