This post contains spoilers for Outer Range and Yellowstone. Some viewers of Outer Range's first season may have been focused on parsing the Amazon Prime series's Lost-style mysteries: What is up with the big, swirling time hole in Royal Abbott's pasture? Why did Rebecca Abbott, his daughter-in-law, vanish without a trace? What does Autumn, the charismatic hippie camping on Royal's land, want with the Abbott family? I had a different question about the sci-fi Western: What the heck is this show doing with Taylor Sheridan's megahit Yellowstone?

WASHINGTON – Secretary of State Rex Tillerson called Wednesday for the U.S. and India to expand strategic ties. He also pointedly criticized China, which he accused of challenging international norms needed for global stability. Tillerson's remarks on relations between the world's two largest democracies, ahead of his first trip to South Asia as secretary of state, risked endearing Washington to one Asian power while alienating another. Tillerson said the world needed the U.S. and India to have a strong partnership. He said the two nations share goals of security, free navigation, free trade and fighting terrorism in the Indo-Pacific, and serve as "the Eastern and Western beacons" for an international rules-based order that is increasingly under strain.

WASHINGTON -- President Donald Trump suggested he's smarter than Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, saying in an interview published Tuesday that if Tillerson did call him a moron, as reported, the two should "compare IQ tests." "And I can tell you who is going to win," Trump said to Forbes magazine. An NBC News story claimed Vice President Mike Pence had to talk Tillerson out of resigning this summer, and that Tillerson had called Trump a "moron." Tillerson said he never considered resigning, though he didn't directly address the reported insult. His spokeswoman later said he never used such language.

And then, even gun rights advocates are calling to revoke bump stock, like the Las Vegas gunman used to make his automatic weapons fire faster. PAUL RYAN, R-WIS., SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE: Fully automatic weapons have been outlawed for many, many years. This seems to be a way of going around that. WALLACE (on camera): Is this the start of sweeping gun control? We'll ask Chris Cox, executive director of the National Rifle Association. Plus, as President Trump decides to decertify the Iran nuclear deal, his, his secretary of state denies he is considered quitting.

Former ExxonMobil Corp. Chief Executive Rex Tillerson was sworn in only Wednesday, and already Congress is moving to benefit the new secretary of state's former--and only--place of work by shredding two major oil industry regulations. Early Friday morning, the Republican-led Senate voted 52 to 47 on a House resolution scrapping a Securities and Exchange Commission rule requiring companies like Exxon and Chevron Corp. to disclose payments they make to foreign governments for the ability to extract oil, minerals and natural gas from their territory. Known as the "extraction rule," it was meant to curb corruption and boost transparency within the oil industry. Standing before the upper house Thursday night, Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts railed against the effort to discard the rule. "One of the Republican Party's first orders of business is a giveaway to ExxonMobil that will help corrupt and repressive foreign regimes and make it easy to funnel money to terrorists around the world," she said, adding that companies like Exxon "regularly pay millions" to "corrupt officials" for the rights to drill on their land, and highlighting the "years" necessary to garner bipartisan and even investor support for the law's passage.

Meanwhile the leader of Communist China rebranded his prickly protectionist power as the defender of globalisation and shared values. So after week one in this upside down new world, how stands China's bid for global leadership? A week is just a week, but when it comes to strategic focus, China is on course. It's easier to look laser sharp when the competition is in disarray. Here the internal difficulties of the US and the European Union are helpful to China.
