Securities markets endure any number of threats each day. Sometimes news that appears dire isn’t necessarily so. Other times, the market overlooks the little signals that portend a rout. After the 2005 revaluation of the yuan by China, I discussed how such seemingly small developments could create major change via the “butterfly effect.” I wrote […]
“Grounds to Impeach Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg?”
Originally posted on October 2, 2018. Writing at The American Spectator, Dov Fischer suggests that there may come to be reason to impeach Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, as her increasingly erratic and volatile political statements suggest she is becoming more activist than jurist.

Progressive Liberalism Has Dragged America near Ruination
