Public university hides results of hate-crime investigation, including suspects' race - The College Fix
"...A public university in Maryland is refusing to provide any information about two students investigated for allegedly harassing and assaulting Jewish fraternity members, claiming it would violate federal law.
...In contrast to the University of Maryland’s reaction to the murder of a black student – including the creation of a “rapid-response team” to respond to bias reports – Towson University (below) is eager to downplay the Alpha Epsilon Pi incident as isolated.
...Two AEPi members were walking to the fraternity house near campus April 29 when they were reportedly harassed by two fellow students with profanity and racial slurs, including “fuck the Jews,” according to The Baltimore Sun.

Social Investing Drives Pensions Into a Ditch | Economics21
Social Investing Drives Pensions Into a Ditch | Economics21
"Environmental, social and governance (ESG) investing has evolved from simple screening approaches in the 1960s to an increasingly intrusive practice that seeks to impose political agendas on the governance of major corporations.
Activist investing revolves around a belief that taking into account a company’s conduct outside its core profit-generating business can enhance investment performance.
But new research released by the Main Street Investors Coalition confirms earlier findings that resolutions driven by activist shareholders deliver no value for shareholders.
The three elements of ESG investing all revolve around broadly progressive political themes..."

Kristian Saucier, ex-Navy sailor pardoned by Trump, sets legal sights on Barack Obama, James Comey - Washington Times
Kristian Saucier, ex-Navy sailor pardoned by Trump, sets legal sights on Barack Obama, James Comey - Washington Times:
"Former President Obama, former FBI Director James Comey and the U.S. Department of Justice are in the legal crosshairs of ex-Navy sailor Kristian Saucier.
The former machinist mate who spent one year in federal prison for unauthorized photos taken aboard a nuclear submarine is seeking legal recourse due to unequal protection of the law. Mr. Saucier claims prosecuting authorities made an example of him — he pleaded guilty to unauthorized detention of defense information while aboard the USS Alexandria — while legally excusing former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s decision to maintain a secret email server."

46% Of San Francisco Bay Area Residents Plan To Leave | Statista
• Chart: 46% Of San Francisco Bay Area Residents Plan To Leave | Statista:
"Last week, protestors in San Francisco blocked the path of commuter buses shuttling workers to Silicon Valley.
Claiming the tech sector is destroying their city, the demonstrators piled electric scooters in front of coaches enroute to Google, Apple and other hi-tech companies.
Even though those companies have brought enormous success and wealth to San Francisco, prices have soared, particularly for property.
Homelessness has also skyrocketed and commutes have been lengthened by the lack of affordable housing across the city.
The growing levels of dissatisfaction in the Bay Area can be seen by the results of a new survey..."

"WHAT IS HIDING BEHIND THE TRADE WAR BETWEEN THE USA AND THE EUROPEAN UNION. HERE'S HOW IT INVOLVES THE NEW ITALIAN GOVERNMENT-by Antonio Socci /
The "economic war" that has broken out between the United States and the European Union is much more than a controversy due to the unprecedented German trade surplus.
Much more than a question of tariffs: it is the return of history .
Trimming back Germany's imperial designs (Brexit was already a step in this direction: Britain is historically hostile to the continental empires).
Much more than a question of tariffs: it is the return of history .
In fact, Germany, which is certainly a major country, is now back to being a major problem.
Not just for Europe, but also for the United States.
And Trump has every intention of winning the arm wrestling fight with Merkel,Trimming back Germany's imperial designs (Brexit was already a step in this direction: Britain is historically hostile to the continental empires).
Germany will lose its confrontation with the US and it could be a blow to the entire European Union of Maastricht (not to be confused with the original European Community).
The laws of geopolitics are inescapable and nations that tend towards continental supremacy, like Germany, should learn from the mistakes of the past..."

Truth and Myth on the Gender Pay Gap - Foundation for Economic Education
Truth and Myth on the Gender Pay Gap - Foundation for Economic Education
"There are myths on both sides here, and taking steps toward gender equality requires an honest accounting of the economic and social facts.
The ongoing battle over gender equality has turned the question of the relative pay of women and men into quite the political football.
Over the last few years, defenders of markets, including me, have been on the offensive, arguing that the gender pay gap is in some sense a “myth.”
More recently, critics have replied that it’s not a myth and that those who think it is a myth are peddling nonsense.
It turns out that both sides have a point.
Whether the gender pay gap is a myth depends upon exactly what claim either side is making.
Below, I hope to sort out these various claims and make clear what we can and cannot say is true and false about the gender pay gap.
What Is Mythical?...
