McCONNELL EFFECTIVELY CONFIRMS THAT HE DOESN'T PLAN TO HOLD A FULL IMPEACHMENT TRIAL IN THE SENATE
Mitch McConnell continues to say that House managers will be allowed to present their impeachment case in the Senate. This is from Roll Call: Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell reiterated on Monday that he is bound by Senate rules to take up articles of impeachment if they are presented by the House. “Under the Senate rules, we’re required to take it up if the House does go down that path, and we’ll follow the Senate rules,” McConnell said. “It’s a Senate rule related to impeachment that would take 67 votes to change.” But here's the asterisk: He said, however, that, “how long ... more »

How America's Sherman Was the Best (And Worst) Tank of World War II
*Kyle Mizokami* *History, Americas* [image: By Signal Corps. - http://www.army.mil/cmh-pg/photos/WWII/ErlyYrs/WW2-ErlYrs.htm., Public Domain, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=167257] An okay design that was built in vast numbers. *Key point:* The Sherman tank was useful because it was reliable but it was also not the best technology had to offer. But armor and lethality don’t tell the whole story. The same American tanks were superior to their rivals in other important ways.

If Mike Pence Becomes President the Neocons Will Stage a Comeback
*Jacob Heilbrunn* *Politics, United States* If Donald Trump exits the presidency, Mike Pence would pursue a hawkish foreign policy. It remains improbable but less unlikely than a week ago: Mike Pence could become president. Now that an impeachment inquiry has been launched by congressional Democrats, Donald Trump is not proving his own best advocate. Instead of assembling a war room, he is relying on himself, retweeting messages about starting a civil war in America and suggesting that his antagonist, House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, should be arrested for trea... more »

Fortunately for the U.S., its goal is not to pacify the nation. The U.S. goal is much more narrow, and in geostrategic terms much more significant. It's to keep control of Bagram Air Base.

Things I don’t want to see on TV (or read online or in the press.) 1) Do people really care what Boris Johnson did under the dinner table twenty years ago? Back then the killer look was an effective way of dealing with creepy things like that. Norman Smith is in Manchester. He likes to use his own brand of flippancy to spin the news. He thinks Boris’s irrelevant, electioneering-motivated promises about 'busses' is sheer deflection from the far more serious matter of inappropriate thigh-squeezing. In the studio, Joanna Gosling jokes chummily, “He likes busses” If that ain’t Naga sty... more »

COUNTRY MUSIC MEETS IMPEACHMENT: Kathy Mattea knows about coal!
*MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 2019So does Bernie Sanders:* We've always had a good impression of country music star Kathy Mattea. Check that!

The Three Waves of Modernity
In his *Natural Right and History*, Leo Strauss notes that there is much less unity in modern political philosophy than in the philosophy of the ancients (in Classical Greece)—this is because the deficiencies in the modern doctrine have provoked a series of critiques which have carved a number of versions and revisions that cluster together in the form three waves, which Strauss calls “the three waves of modernity.” Machiavelli is the architect of the first wave which includes the early modern philosophers like Spinoza, Hobbes, and Locke. According to Strauss, these philosophers re... more »
