JUST IN: Justice Dept offers help to FBI in email case; just one HUGE problem
There’s just one giant problem (among what are no doubt many): overseeing this offer of “help” from the Department of Justice is none other than Hillary campaign manager John Podesta’s BFF, Assistant Attorney General Peter J. Kadzik.

Pope Francis' Visit to Reformation Anniversary Stresses Common Witness
Pope Francis is in Sweden today to mark the start of the 500th anniversary of the Protestant Reformation together with Lutherans from across the world.

Why your Facebook friends are checking in at Standing Rock
Protesters are using a new weapon in their push to block the Dakota Access Pipeline: Facebook. By Monday, hundreds of thousands of people had checked in at Standing Rock Indian Reservation on the social networking site. But many of them weren't anywhere near the location where demonstrators have been picketing the controversial $3.7 billion pipeline.

STUDY: Big Three Networks Attack Comey Over Clinton by 3 to 1
Ever since it was announced, on Friday, that the FBI was pursuing new leads into the investigation of Hillary Clinton’s e-mail server scandal, the Big Three (ABC, CBS, NBC) networks have gone into attack mode against James Comey, turning what should be a scandal about Clinton into a smear against the FBI director.

James Comey Has Been Abusing His Power for Years

Why the Democrats Keep Losing the Congress
Why isn’t the Democratic Party landsliding the worst and cruelest Republican Party in the past 162 years?

The Fatal Expense of American Imperialism
The single most important issue in allocating national resources is war versus peace, or as macroeconomists put it, “guns versus butter.” The United States is getting this choice profoundly wrong, squandering vast sums and undermining national security. In economic and geopolitical terms, America suffers from what Yale historian Paul Kennedy calls “imperial overreach.” If our next president remains trapped in expensive Middle East wars, the budgetary costs alone could derail any hopes for solving our vast domestic problems. It’s time to abandon the reveries, burdens, and self-deceptions of empire and to invest in sustainable development at home and in partnership with the rest of the world.

Think American Voters Have It Bad? Look at France
While our American friends are coming ever closer to election day, over here in Europe, the second biggest EU country, France, is going to have its election in April next year. Looking at the reality of the two-party obscenity that is going on in the country of baguettes and croissants, American third parties should recognise that it is time for them to act.

Freedom Is Personal
Life under unlimited government power is constricting, unimaginative, and perilous.

Cultural Appropriation Is Love
A world without cultural appropriation is a world without learning and emulation.

The Early Economists Who Tried to Save France
Central to their critique of the regulatory state of their time was insistence that there was a “natural order” to things in the social world as much as in the physical world.

Why We Fight over Western Lands
Last week’s surprising acquittal of Ammon Bundy and six others in the trial over the armed occupation of the Malheur Wildlife Refuge in Oregon has once again elevated federal land issues to the national stage, and many questions remain. But despite all the media attention on the trial, many have overlooked the underlying issues that make federal lands so contentious in the first place. Much of the strife is the result of grazing policies that encourage conflict instead of cooperation. Property conventions exist to reduce or prevent conflict over scarce resources. When those conventions are poorly defined and arbitrarily changed, conflict is inevitable.

A CATHOLIC OBSERVER IN ROME? OR A CATHOLIC GUEST IN ANGLICAN ROME?
When all roads to union seem closed, perhaps the only way forward is more blood, more tears, more prayer, and, above all, more love. Editor’s note: This is the first in a series of posts reflecting (1) on Covenant’s recent seminar in Rome on Catholic ecclesiology and ecumenism, and (2) fresh approaches to, and promises of, Christian unity in our own time.

Drones for Grazing Management
Herd your animals, check fences and water with a lot fewer steps or time in the pickup. That’s how drones could reduce inputs on your place. Plus your kids will love them!

David Widmar of Agricultural Economic Insights says that “2016 will be marked as the year cash rental rates began to decline at the national level.” But while that’s true at the national scale, he notes that “it’s important to keep in mind conditions often vary at the state and county levels.”

Forty Plus Years of No-Till and Cover Crop Success
Think no-till is a new deal? Well not to Jimmy Standefer. He planted his first no-till cover crop in 1967. It was a failure. It took a couple of years for him to get his Dad to let him try it again. But the second try was a huge success and after that there was no looking back.
