• Things the Media Ignored in the Mueller Report — There are countless examples of the media beclowning itself when the left’s dream of a slam-dunk against the president failed.

• The Mueller report concludes it was not needed | TheHill — These are some of the most elite prosecutors in the country, and they went full Hamlet on a legal determination a third-year law student would knock down between Budweisers.

• Homeless shelter, looming IPOs have San Francisco on edge — Realtor John Townsend had the article on hand as he showed a 1,500-square-foot (139-square-meter) three-bedroom, one-bath condo listed at $1.15 million. He said he had double the traffic the weekend after ride-hailing company Lyft went public in March. The condo, which needed updates, sold above asking price.
• Why Bob Kraft’s ordeal should alarm us all — It’s hard to care when a billionaire suffers abuse at the hands of our justice system. But the case of New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft has been a travesty, and we should all pay attention.
