Mueller Bows Out: What Does Congress Do Now?
Nancy Pelosi speaks at a town hall in Arizona. (Photo: Gage Skidmore/Flickr) Special Counsel Robert Mueller today made a surprise public statement, nearly six weeks after the public release of his report on the Russia investigation. He announced that the special counsel’s office was formally closing, that its investigation was complete, and that he was resigning from the Department of Justice. This was not a huge shock. Less expected was Mueller’s announcement that he didn’t intend to make any further statements—not even before Congress in testimony that has been much anticipated.... more »

“A Dying Civilization: The Moral Order”
*“A Dying Civilization: The Moral Order”* by Morris Berman “The notion that there was a way of life characteristic of modern (or industrial) societies that was qualitatively different from the way of life found in pre-modern (or folk) societies goes back, at least, to the German sociologist Max Weber. Modern societies, said Weber, are governed by bureaucracies; the dominant ethos is one of “rationalization,” whereby everything is mechanized, administered according to the dictates of scientific reason.

Mueller Blames Russia, Bolton Blames Iran. Should We Believe Them?

The battling deferments, Biden and Trump
Hugh Hewitt has an interesting take on Mayor Pete bringing up Trump's deferments 50 years ago as a way to denigrate him. It's a way, he said, to take out Biden by letting the press and social media do it. You see, Joe Biden had 5 deferments and the same classification as Trump, 1Y (called up only in a national emergency). That clown car is very crowded and someone needs to be thrown under the bus (pardon the mixed metaphors) and right now, Biden is riding high in the polls, and staying very quiet.

Jonathan Bernstein's question for Bloomberg readers was compelling enough-- Where Does Trump Get His Odd Ideas? "Understanding how a president thinks can help make sense of his decisions," he wrote. "Trump’s case is harder than most." [At the bottom of the page, please take a look at how Randy Rainbow deals with this question.] Bernstein wants to know how Trump learns things (or-- let's face it-- more to the point, why he doesn't).

War for Poverty
When a country is mired in poverty, violent revolution is the most emotionally appealing remedy. So cinematic.

So far, the very best treatment […] The post War for Poverty appeared first on Econlib.
