A male professor who underwent a yearlong Title IX investigation claims that “professional disagreements” with female colleagues have been redefined as sexual harassment.
But J. Martin Rochester doesn’t blame the University of Missouri-St. Louis’s Title IX staffers.
In a post for the Martin Center for Academic Renewal, the international relations professor said they were “merely creatures of the system that the Obama Administration created.”
Rochester told The College Fix he’s still teaching at UMSL and “publishing scholarship,” though he never did learn the exact allegations against him or receive a final report that formally cleared his name..."
"Less than a day after Iran showed off its new long-range Khorramshahr ballistic missile, which has a range of about 1,200 miles and can carry multiple warheads, the Islamic Republic published a video with images of the test-launch of the missile, which is capable of reaching Israel.
“The Khorramshahr missile has become smaller in size and more tactical and it will be operational in the near future,” Press TV in Iran reported."
Articles: It Was the Deep State that Colluded with the Russians, Not Trump "As more and more leaks about the ongoing “Russian collusion” witch hunt by Robert Mueller appear in print, it seems to me that if Russia had been trying to erode our faith in our institutions, the Deep State is accomplishing what Russia failed to do.
The Obama claque’s efforts were initially intended to help Clinton when they thought she would win and no one would know about their crimes. Then they continued the unlawful spying to cover up their role in the worst case of misuse of federal power in our history, to effect the removal or emasculation of the President, and now they are desperate to cover up their illegal actions when all that failed.
Facebook is turning over ads presumably purchased by Russians during the campaign. Good -- let’s see them. As the article notes:
The announcement that Facebook would share the ads with the Senate and House intelligence committees came after the social network spent two weeks on the defensive. The company faced calls for greater transparency about 470 Russia-linked accounts -- in which fictional people posed as American activists -- which were taken down after they had promoted inflammatory messages on divisive issues. Facebook had previously angered congressional staff by showing only a sample of the ads, some of which attacked Hillary Clinton or praised Donald J. Trump.
As Tom Maguire reminds us, it would be unwise to assume this was a one-sided campaign: “Let's see all the ads and find out whether Russia was winding up both sides. Back in the day it was believed Russia backed anti-fracking groups in Europe. Why not also in the US?..”

"“I think it was a disastrous agreement for the United States to make; harmful to the United States, harmful to its friends and allies, harmful to the people of Iran. The sooner we get out of it, the better,” Bolton said.

State universities charge tuition to their students, but the institutions also receive direct taxpayer dollars. Some states spend spend more taxpayer dollars on their universities than Michigan does.
And there are states that have a more credentialed population than Michigan.
There isn’t a connection between the two.
This can be seen on a chart.
This looks at a state’s spending on universities and the percentage of its adult population that holds a college degree.
Wyoming and Alaska are the two states that spend a lot on higher education and have middling levels of educational attainment.
Michigan lawmakers are already taking $1.6 billion from taxpayers to give to state universities.
"In an interview with MSNBC’s Joy Reid broadcast on Saturday, Hillary Clinton continued Blame Tour 2017. Today’s target? The media.
REID: What do you say to reporters who say: “Well, the email scandal was not the media's fault, it was your fault.”
CLINTON: Oh, I made the original mistake, but, you know, people running for office make all kinds of mistakes. I mean, Trump had a million mistakes that he made before he ever ran and that he made once he declared to run. That didn't matter. You know, there was a little bit of coverage on whatever it might be, and then it faded away. The emails was a constant diet."
State developing 7-day license plate for insurance crackdown | Crain's Detroit Business:
"The seven-day auto insurance plans L.A. Insurance sells in Detroit and surrounding suburbs have come under scrutiny by state officials as a legal means for evading the state's continuous no-fault auto insurance law. MACKINAC ISLAND — Secretary of State Ruth Johnson's office is developing a separate license plate for drivers who use a seven-day auto insurance plan in an effort to crackdown on the number of uninsured drivers on Michigan roadways.
At the Mackinac Republican Leadership Conference, Johnson said she wants to create a temporary license plate that would make it easier for a police officer to spot and stop motorists who are driving without insurance — a pervasive problem in Detroit because of high auto insurance rates.
...Crain's has previously reported on how seven-day plans have become a common way to avoid paying high auto insurance premiums in Detroit by letting drivers buy $199 seven-day plans, get their vehicles registered for 52 weeks and then drive without insurance for the other 51 weeks of the year..."
