Like all things Trump-related, the release of the Mueller report was divisive. Even the Democrats are split over whether it should trigger impeachment proceedings. The evidence of amoral behaviour is certainly malodorous, as this piece from the never-Trump conservatives at The Bulwark make clear, but that’s hardly news, let alone a crime. Over at the left-leaning Intercept Glenn Greenwald painstakingly shows that Mueller found no actual proof of collusion with the Russians. Less clear is whether the White House tried to obstruct the investigation, but the Dems will be hard pressed to convince Americans the president should be impeached for covering up a crime that wasn’t proven.

France is in the Crosshairs, but the Target is Western Civilization
Theodore Dalrymple in Law & Liberty crystallizes the recent riots in France to a simple equation: “Whole generations have been taught and come to accept that Western civilization consists of slavery, exploitation, and massacre.” Tearing it all down – not merely reforming it – is therefore not just understandable but desirable. Dalrymple disposes of the delusional trope that these are “student” protests, noting the preponderance of Muslim migrants committing the mayhem.
For a luminous glimpse into the singular civilizational achievements the rioters would tear down, read this C2C article by Patrick Keeney.
