Both resolutions seek to make it legally as if the articles had never passed the House.Full House of Representatives articles of impeachment against former President Donald Trump would be expunged from record, by a resolution introduced Thursday, which drew fire from opposition.

The American Mind: Sheeple in Leaders’ Clothing
Leadership is a $366 billion global industry, but its definition is becoming increasingly unclear. Leadership as a concept lacks the depth and wisdom of the classical distinction of statesmanship. Instead, leadership encourages a confusion between tyranny and just rule and attempts to reconcile inequality with equality. This confusion is also reflected in the desire to hold a leadership role without acknowledging its inherent ambition, which has always been seen as a virtue. Furthermore, leadership is frequently considered apolitical and thus amoral, but at the same time, claims to have ultimate authority without ultimate responsibility. In contrast, the true science of leadership, according to Aristotle, is political art which is properly guided by statesmanship and an orientation towards “ideal beauty.”

Siddhartha Dubey, an adjunct professor at Northwestern University, said human rights concerns in India have been given short shrift as India becomes a strategic and economic partner.
