    Wow... the Interior Department opened up an ethics investigation into the Interior departments own new director... what, he was there a week?



    National Archives joins investigation into Interior chief's missing calendars
    The documents paint a picture of David Bernhardt’s frequent contact with representatives from industries he previously lobbied for and now oversees.

    Inside Ivanka’s Dreamworld
    The “first daughter” spent years rigorously cultivating her image. But she wasn’t prepared for scrutiny.

    indeed it has.

    Speaking Tuesday with CNBC’s “Squawk Box, ” Moore faced questions about past writings, some of which have been classified as sexist by his detractors. Anchor Becky Quick asked him specifically about a piece he wrote for National Review in which he worried about a society where women earned more than men.

    ~ 14 yrs ago, Moore had included these comments in his article

    “The biggest problem I see in the economy over the last 25 years is what has happened to male earnings, for black males and white males as well,” “They’ve been declining. That is, I think, a big problem.”

    actually, during that period, earnings for both genders rose;
    > 3.6% for female, vs. 2.1% for male
    “Is there no area in life where men can take a vacation from women?”​
    .

    “If it comes down to things I wrote 18 years ago that were impolitic, that I’ve apologized for, that were, you know, insulting, then I’m in trouble,” he said. “If it comes to economic ideas, then I’ll be fine.”

    Wait...you mean tv economists who write controversial articles to stir people up and get put on tv to act as surrogates aren't the best picks for jobs?

    When you are an unqualified failure of a president and unable to recruit qualified people with a modicum of self-respect, you are left with our current failure of an administration.

    Much like Kavanaugh and the USSC, Moore (and Cain) has no business anywhere near an institution as important as the FED.

    Find better people.
