How South Africa could harness Donald Trump’s wrath
Talk of “white genocide” is baseless. But some American pressure could be helpful

“There is bipartisan consensus on another front: the need to hold universities to account for how well their students do upon leaving campus. Both bills include penalties for colleges that produce graduates with low earnings relative to their debts.”

The Senate’s version as of June 30th would push U.S. debt to between 125% and 130% of GDP by 2034—well above the 117% forecast if the 2017 tax cuts were allowed to expire.

It was in 1984, of course, that police stations in China started issuing national id cards to those over the age of 16. Citizens still need them to travel, pay taxes or gain access to public services. Now the Communist Party wants to cross another Rubicon.

“The prominence of ideology in Russia has increased in proportion to the number of Russian casualties from the war in Ukraine. But unlike communism or fascism, the besetting ideologies of the 20th century, Mr Putin’s surrogate offers no vision of the future.” #giftlink

There’s an odd fatalism about the debate on public trust in SW1: that Britain is a low trust society, that elites at large are endemically mistrusted, and that once institutions fall from grace the trajectory is only down. The evidence says otherwise

And, drum roll please….
47% of US voters either approve of Trump’s performance or “don’t know”.
