At Barnard College, Alexander McNab initially refused to show ID (policy requires ID for entering building after 11pm). He becomes belligerent to campus officers. He has encouraged activists to spread video, claiming racism. Officers now placed on leave.
“No justice, no peace. Fuck these racist police!” Like clockwork, protests are taking place with students using the incident as a pretext for a power grab. @BarnardCollege
Portland State, like @BarnardCollege, is an urban campus that has a lot of people randomly come on site. There have been recent reports of men peeking/recording students in public toilets. Best that campus police can do is ID people. For that, they’re demonised too.
As predicted, deans at @Columbia have released a groveling statement saying the (belligerent) student was a victim of racism & encouraging the student body to engage in social justice programs. Why comment w/such confidence when Barnard’s investigation isn’t complete?

Are tax payers aware of the political propaganda being pushed on students at @OregonState? This thread provides a small sample of what you’ll find on campus. Are you at another institution & encounter similar things? Email or DM me.
.@OregonState’s diversity office spends resources on a series of “social justice retreats” for students & faculty. Earlier this year, there was one that seeks to remake “white identity” centered around how to become an activist against white privilege. dce.oregonstate.edu/retreat
In Tabeau Hall at @OregonState, there is a big display about the “Myth of Reverse Racism” that explains white privilege, oppression, etc. It says reverse racism can “perhaps” only happen if whites were enslaved & lynched today in the US and West.

PM @narendramodi made it crystal clear as to why Sadhvi Pragya is being fielded from Bhopal and to me it is going to be the mother of all battles for the simple reason that is not going to be a battle. It is going to a war or equivalent between the hunter and the hunted.
Between the supporters of the nation vs. the Tukde Tukde gang in whatever veneer it may be. But make no mistake. Sonia Gandhi led Congress and its cohorts will destroy India as their sole aim is to protect their ill gotten wealth.
That ill gotten wealth came from many sources. We all know about Bofors, Augusta Westland and god knows how many. Am putting together 2 articles that I happened to read and I request the readers to either read the thread or to read both the articles in its entirety.

It’s hard to listen to the debate on border security having grown up on the US/Mexico border, crossed it hundreds of times, and be a practicing immigration attorney dealing with border security issues every day. There are so many lies and myths. Here is some reality.
As a boy growing up in Laredo, border security was light in the 1980’s & 90’s. We didn’t have to show ID when entering the US, we were often just waived through after declaring our citizenship.
In the 1980’s I remember seeing undocumented immigrants riding on the trains when my family would drive on I-35 between Laredo and San Antonio. We would wave at them and they would wave back.

Qualcuno si chiederà perché ieri lo #spread è salito in maniera violenta da circa 305 a 335 ed oggi ha praticamente “ritracciato” (come si dice in gergo) a quasi 312 proprio quando è arrivata la notizia ufficiale dell’avventura imposizione delle sanzioni #UE sull’Italia (segue)
Ieri alcuni operatori hanno semplicemente “annusato” l’opportunità di fare un affare. Hanno venduto BTP allo scoperto cioè senza averne la disponibilità magari avendoli presi a prestito. Li hanno venduti ad esempio a 89 (segue)
La speranza di chi vende allo scoperto è che il prezzo diminuisca oltre quello di vendita così da ricomprarli ad un prezzo inferiore a quello venduti (magari 88) così restituendoli a chi glieli ha prestati intascandosi la differenza (segue)

Vorrei fare qualche ragionamento intuitivo sullo #spread:

la differenza tra il costo di "nuovo denaro" per lo stato italiano (tipicamente nella forma di BTP tasso fisso a 10 anni) e per il paese ritenuto più sicuro dentro l'eurozona, cioè la Germania.
Dal punto di vista dei fondamentali economico-finanziari, lo spread aumenta se

1) aumenta il rischio percepito di insolvenza da parte dell'emittente --> lo stato non ripaga o ripaga in ritardo ("insolvency risk")

2) lo stato ripaga in una valuta diversa ("redenomination risk")
Che dire del rischio di redenominazione? Si tratta di un fattore negativo se il tema è quello di essere ripagati in una valuta che VALE DI MENO rispetto a quella iniziale, cioè svalutata. Tutti concordano sul fatto che ciò accadrebbe in caso di uscita dell'Italia dall'euro.

Reform-leaning politicians have always had serious opposition from the political elite, who wish to perpetuate the status quo. Today, Kayode Fayemi is the political barometer for governors/public leaders who wish to implement system-wide reform in the system.
#EdReform #Kaduna
Educational reform in Kaduna state in the last few days has generated the usual bickering that permeates the political divide. The conversations that my generation needs to have regarding education are many, but should be beyond the childish politicking that's pervasive so far
The dangers of politicizing our educational system is that 1) children suffer 2) our future is endangered 3) we keep losing our competitiveness as we fail to raise a new generation of thinkers with the skills & resources required to better their lives, add to nation's prosperity
