How Deep Is The Deep State? Authored by Roger Kimball via American Greatness, How deep is the deep state?  That’s a question I have thought and written about a lot.  I had something to say about it recently at The Spectator on the occasion of Abigail Spanberger’s recent election as governor of Virginia. It saddens me to report that every time I think I have taken the measure of the Leviathan that is the deep state, new precincts and vistas open up beyond the boundaries I had delineated. Sometimes I think the deep state is like an onion. Peel back one layer, and […]

The Weak Dollar Narrative Authored by Lance Roberts via RealInvestmentAdvice.com, We have spent a lot of time over the last year debunking “narratives,” which are dangerous to investors, as “narratives” create a rationalization for overpaying for assets.

The negative correlation between a weak dollar and […]
