Trump supporter fired over wearing MAGA hat, lawsuit claims

 

A former city employee in Indiana filed a lawsuit Wednesday alleging he was fired over voicing support for President Trump and wearing a “Make America Great Again” cap, a report says.

 

Michael J. Dale, a former supervisor in the Indianapolis Department of Public Works, claims in the reverse discrimination lawsuit that he was unlawfully fired in April because of his "Caucasian" race, age and for engaging in free speech, the Indianapolis Star reported.

 

"Defendants have treated significantly younger, non-Caucasian employees and employees who did not engage in protected speech … more favorably in discipline than it has treated Dale," the lawsuit, obtained by the paper, alleges.

Sears directors tap Evercore to examine former CEO Lampert's deals: sources

 

(Reuters) - Two Sears Holdings Corp SHLDQ.PK board directors have hired investment bank Evercore Inc (EVR.N) to scrutinize deals that were led by former Sears Chief Executive Eddie Lampert with the U.S. retailer before it filed for bankruptcy protection, people familiar with the matter said on Friday.

 

The deals, including separations of Sears’ businesses and real estate, may come under examination in bankruptcy proceedings, with creditors claiming the transactions stripped the retailer of valuable assets. Billionaire Lampert is the largest shareholder and creditor of Sears through his hedge fund, ESL Investments Inc.

 

“ESL supported the board’s decision to authorize the review,” a spokesman for Lampert’s hedge fund said. “These types of analyses are customary and ESL is confident that the subcommittee will confirm that the transactions involving ESL were on fair and reasonable terms and approved under appropriate corporate governance procedures,”

 

Sears, which filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on Oct. 15, and Evercore declined to comment….

Pakistan, US engaged in pursuing Afghan peace: FO

 

ISLAMABAD: The Foreign Office on Thursday said Pakistan and the US along with other regional stakeholders are engaged in pursuing an Afghan-owned and Afghan-led political settlement in Afghanistan.

 

Speaking at the weekly press briefing here, the Foreign Office Spokesperson Dr Muhammad Faisal said the US Special Representative on Afghan Reconciliation Ambassador Zalmay Khalilzad visited the region, including Pakistan, a couple of weeks ago. “It is important to reiterate that Pakistan’s cooperation with Afghanistan and the international community to bring about lasting peace in Afghanistan is borne out of our firm belief that a stable Afghanistan is vital for eliminating terrorism inside Pakistan and the region in general,” he said. The spokesman said he has no information on reports that Mulla Baradar has been handed over to the Taliban by the Pakistani authorities.

 

Responding to some harsh statements coming again from Washington about Pakistan’s Afghan policy, the spokesman said, “There is no question of any country applying pressure on Pakistan for something which we believe is in our own interest. Our foreign policy is based on principles of peace within and peace without. In all our domestic and external pronouncements, we are guided only by Pakistan’s national interest and prosperity of the people of Pakistan”. To a query about Pakistan renewing its proposal to India for a bilateral arrangement on a nuclear test ban, the spokesman replied, “Pakistan announced in August 2016 that it was prepared to consider translating its unilateral moratorium into a bilateral arrangement on nuclear non-testing with India. That proposal is still on the table and is reflective of our policy of promoting restraint and responsibility in South Asia and our consistent support for the objectives of the CTBT.”

 

Meanwhile, Foreign Secretary Tehmina Janjua summoned Ambassador of the Netherlands to the Foreign Office and lodged a strong protest with him against the blasphemous tweets by Dutch Parliamentarian Geert Wilders. Janjua firmly told the ambassador that the Dutch government should condemn and take suitable measures to counter and prevent such actions from taking place. “Such acts cannot be allowed with impunity under the pretext of freedom of expression. These discriminatory incidents spread hate and intolerance and provoke extremism and violence, which were prohibited under human rights laws and standards,” Januja told the top diplomat according to her office.

 

Recently, after immense pressure Geert Wilders had decided not to exhibit the blasphemous cartoons in parliament but has now started to Tweet hateful material which has deeply hurt the sentiments of Muslims. The foreign secretary conveyed deep concern and disappointment of the government and the people of Pakistan on continued and deliberate malicious attempts of the Dutch parliamentarian to hurt the sentiments of hundreds of millions across the world. The Dutch government under the garb of freedom of expression has allowed hate speech against Muslims but has own laws which do not allow such freedom if for example one cannot deny that the Holocaust took place. The Dutch ambassador assured that the concerns of the government and the people of Pakistan would be conveyed to the authorities in the Netherlands.

 

Earlier, during the weekly media briefing at the Foreign Office, the spokesman shied away from countless questions about details of Pakistan playing role as mediator in the Saudi-Yemen war. In a televised address to the nation, Imran said he was ready to play such a role but neither he nor Foreign Minister Shah spoke about details and whether Saudi Arabia had agreed to it. “As a matter of policy, Pakistan has always worked for the best of relations between our brotherly Muslim countries and we shall continue to do so,” was all that the spokesman offered.

 

Earlier, speaking on Geo TV, Minister for Information Fawad Chaudhry revealed that the prime minister had responded to a Tweet from some Yemeni leader but he was unable to remember his name. Later a Tweet from Mohammad Ali al-Houthi, former president of the Revolutionary Committee and cousin of main Houthi leader Abdul-Malik Badreddin al-Houthi, emerged in which he first congratulated and later invited Imran Khan to visit and play a role for peace in Yemen.

China-Japan sign three-year FX swap deal of up to $30 billion

 

TOKYO (Reuters) - Japan and China signed a bilateral currency swap arrangement on Friday aimed at enhancing the financial stability of the two countries, the Bank of Japan said.

 

The arrangement, which takes effect on Friday and lasts until Oct. 25, 2021, will allow the exchange of local currencies between the two central banks for up to 200 billion yuan or 3.4 trillion yen ($30 billion), the BOJ said.

 

China and Japan on Friday signed a broad range of agreements on strengthening bilateral ties, pledging to step up cooperation in areas from finance and trade to innovation and securities listings.

 

The agreements were signed during Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s visit to Beijing for the first formal Sino-Japanese summit in seven years, as Asia’s two biggest economies looked to further build relations and trust against a backdrop of trade friction with the United States.

Donna Shalala

 

She next served as chancellor of the University of Wisconsin–Madison (1988-1993).[16] At the time of her chancellorship, the university included 42,000 students, employed 16,500 people, and had an annual budget of $1 billion.[4] Under her chancellorship and with her support, the university adopted a broad speech code subjecting students to disciplinary action for communications that were perceived as hate speech. That speech code was later found unconstitutional by a federal judge.[17] Also while chancellor, Shalala supported passage of a revised faculty speech code broadly restricting "harmful" speech in both "noninstructional" and "instructional" settings. The faculty speech code was abolished ten years later, after a number of professors were investigated for alleged or suspected violations.[18]
