U.S. sends carrier group to eastern Mediterranean Israel formally declared war on Hamas on Sunday after a surprise attack that killed over 700. The Israelis are massing troops for a ground invasion. The U.S. State Department said in a statement this morning that at least nine Americans died in the Hamas attack. NBC News: “This is Israel’s 9/11. Not since 1973 has there been such a catastrophic intelligence failure in Israel,” said Marc Polymeropoulos, who worked for 26 years for the CIA, where he specialized in counterterrorism, the Middle East and South Asia. Israel’s intelligence services have long been seen as some of the most capable in the world, with an array of human intelligence, eavesdropping and other technical means blanketing the West Bank and Gaza. “It is almost inconceivable how they missed this,” said Polymeropoulos. As with early reporting from any war zone, statistics and accounts will be revised. Be careful where you get your news and note reporters’ sources.

That appalling pun highlights a problem with economic modellers in general: the treatment of time as a discrete rather than a continuous phenomenon. Though there are (not enough!) exceptions, the habit amongst both Neoclassical and Post-Keynesians economists is to model an economic variable now as depending on other variables one year in the past (and … Continue reading "I’m not Discreet, and Neither is Time"

He’s a Trump henchman and accomplice and nothing is going to change He should be on trial with Donald Trump but for some reason congressional officials are off-limits. Huff Post’s Igor Bobic has the story: Staunch conservative Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) is in the spotlight after launching a bid for the speaker’s gavel this week, a race that is sure to provide even more drama and chaos than the unprecedented ouster of Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.). But one critical aspect of Jordan’s history that has been omitted by most Beltway publications is the prominent role he played in spreading lies about the 2020 election and rallying supporters to contest the results. The extraordinary effort led by former President Donald Trump, who has endorsed Jordan’s bid for speaker, led to the deadly Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol. “Jim Jordan knew more about what Donald Trump had planned for Jan. 6 than any other member of the House of Representatives,” former Rep.
