"Higher ed has been in need of serious reform for years, and everyone knows it. Tuition has skyrocketed, and student loan debt cripples young graduates' ability to launch into their adult lives...

"Some courses seem to exist purely to gratify the interests of the faculty teaching them. Tenure can be used as a bludgeon to limit intellectual or ideological diversity. The costs of bloated administration often exceeds that of instruction...
"Student athletes make millions for the most successful programs and yet cannot profit from their own names or likenesses. Substance abuse and sexual assault are serious problems...
"Traditional brick-and-mortar educational programs are not going away; they offer too much rich experience that online education cannot. But online education has been eating away at the edges for some time...
"After months of distance learning, parents & students will be asking hard questions: what's really necessary, where to cut costs and what can be eliminated or adapted. We won't get away with going back to the way things were just because "it's always been done this way."

@freddoso I went to school here from 1979 - 1986. I moved back in 2010 and was pleasantly surprised at the improvement. Who did it? Notre Dame, IU, developers, investors, construction companies, retailers, homeowners, business owners.. .
@freddoso THIS is why Democrat politicians are a PLAGUE. They think THEY build the country. They think THEY build the economy. They think THEY create prosperity.

NO.

WE build the country .
WE build the economy.
WE create prosperity.

WE THE PEOPLE.

@ProfMJCleveland @SowellColumn
@freddoso @ProfMJCleveland @SowellColumn The only thing Democrats are good at is pushing policies that DESTROY what other people have built.

They impose taxes that destroy wealth. They impose regulations that destroy small businesses. They destroy cities (San Francisco and Los Angeles I'm talking to you.)

THREAD:

1) I'm not an investigative reporter, but I started writing about this two years ago, and connecting the dots. (Look up my column from November 2017 on Townhall: "Slimy similarities between DNC and Weinstein are no accident." )

townhall.com/columnists//la…
2) @WSJ reporter @JohnCarreyrou's experience was identical: he & his sources were subjected to conduct just as corrupt and even more dangerous by the same lawyer (David Boies) behind the efforts to kill the Weinstein story. Boies hired "private security agencies"...
3)... to stalk, dig up dirt on & threaten Theranos employees who knew about the billion-$$$ fraud - to prevent them from revealing to legitimate journalists and law enforcement criminal behavior that threatened the lives of tens of thousands of people.

Carreyrou confirmed it...

My friend and colleague Margot Cleveland continues to unearth unholy alliances between the press, Democrats & "Deep State" operatives in the Obama administration & Hillary Clinton campaign, using illegal means to destroy a duly-elected president, @realDonaldTrump.
My column this week will add to that, @RonanFarrow"s exposé of corruption at @NBCNews trying to bury the #HarveyWeinstein story, PLUS @JohnCarreyrou's accounts of Democrat lawyer #DavidBoies trying to kill the #Theranos story (@JoeBiden plays a role in that one)
PLUS the press' AND California's Democrat-controlled government's willingness to ignore the deaths of TWO black men at the home of major Democratic fundraiser/bundler Ed Buck.

Throughout the primary debates, Democrats missed a huge opportunity to talk with people about what it means to "pay for" your spending proposals. Now that Congress is preparing to spend ~$2 trillion without "paying for" it, we should talk about what that means.
First, what does it mean to say that Congress is "paying for" its spending? I worked in the Senate, and the phrase has a concrete meaning in the budget world. When a member of Congress drafts a bill, staffers often shop it around, looking for support from other members.
Inevitably, the first question that staffer gets is, "What's your pay for?" So, for example, if you have a $1 trillion infrastructure bill, they want to know how you plan to fully offset that spending so it won't add to the deficit. That's what it means to "pay for" spending.

“When Bernie said everyone should have healthcare as a right, you called it socialism. Now you are begging for free tests and treatment and healthcare that is not tied to your job.When Bernie said workers should be guaranteed paid leave you called it...
... socialism, now you are begging for paid leave as places close and people are laid off.
When Bernie said every child in America should have high-quality child care and universal school meals you called it socialism, now schools are closed and you need child care and food for
your kids.
When Bernie wanted to cancel all student loan debt to help millions of struggling Americans you called it socialism, now you are begging for student loan relief.
When Bernie wanted national rent control so landlords can’t jack up rent prices as high as they want and

#Thread on NDTV. Everyone wonders why NDTV is anti-government and pro-letifst. Let's see

Shareholding.
-61% is held between Pranoy Roy (PR) & Radhika Roy (RR)
-RR is the sister of Brinda Karat -member of Communist P.I (Marxist) and husband of Prakash Karat - ex Gen Sec CPI (M)
-PR is the cousin of Suzanna Arundhati Roy. Everyone knows where her loyalties lie.
- A sizeable chunk is held by companies linked with former Congress M.P & industrialist Naveen Jindal.

See a clear idealogical bias in the shareholding.
Lets get to the management team
-Sonia Singh - Executive Editor is married to Congress leader Ratanjit Pratap Narain Singh.
-Ravish Kumar`s Editor of NDTV Indiabrother Brajesh Kumar is a Congress Leader from Bihar
-Nidhi Razdan Executive editor was alleged to be in an affair with Omar Abduallah

13 Rules for Twitterlife.

A Christmas Twitter series based on the adventures of a twitter-addict, who made all the mistakes personally. And learned the rules the hard way. Basic idea is obviously and conveniently stolen from the eminent Doctor @jordanbpeterson.
To be honest. I myself don’t follow these rules perfectly. But at least I know I should do better. I had 16 rules turned it down to 13, simply because Twitter wouldn't allow more. Here we go!
Rule one

Be gentle to unfriendly people.

Before yelling back or blocking. Identify friend or foe. Glance at their TL and follow count.
People who suddenly raid your timeline with unfriendly cries or replies could be upset about your opinion or just merely unhappy>

Some of the Democratic presidential candidates descend upon San Francisco today for the DNC summer meeting. Kamala Harris, with the hometown advantage, has a gaggle of supporters throughout the venue, waving signs and chanting.
Nancy Pelosi, another hometown hero, walked on stage to a standing ovation, following a hype video of all her greatest hits. Countering that, a woman wearing an “Impeach Trump Now” shirt holds up a sign reading, “Nancy, you’ve drunk your own Kool-Aid.”
Michael Bennet is first candidate to speak, and he lobs critique at DNC: "The DNC is stifling debate at a time when we need it most. We’re rewarding celebrity candidates w/ millions of Twitter followers who buy their way onto the stage, candidates who have been running for years"
