New Car Glut — USA
The glut is here. Some 3.27 million new cars are now sitting on lots across the U.S., more than there have been in almost five years, according to Automotive News.

Single Family Housing Market: Stagnant. Apartments: Booming.
Builders ramped up construction in April, but they were mostly building multifamily apartment buildings. A monthly report from the U.S. Census Bureau showed total housing starts up 13 percent month to month, but that was driven by a 43 percent monthly jump in buildings with five or more units.

Two decades before The Christmas Story, I entered the world of Jean Shepherd’s imagination. I spent two semesters at Westminster seminary in Philadelphia.

Worldwide New Car Parks: No Buyers, No Prospects
Around Europe, cars are being parked in huge lots. There are no buyers. Yet to conceal reality, car companies are parking them and walking away, leaving them to rust.

In New York, Annoying Someone Is No Longer A Felony
Everyone has an annoying friend, or at least an annoying acquaintance that doesn’t understand common courtesy or how to conduct themselves appropriately in public settings.

Video: Congressman Gowdy’s Questions on Benghazi
I had not heard of Congressman Gowdy until yesterday. I hope to hear of him again. He made a 3-minute presentation in front of the mainstream media’s agents. I have never seen anything like it. As an example of rhetoric, it is flawless. He ended it exactly right. He took no prisoners. All in all, […] READ MORE
Will Climate Change Advocates Shut Up on September 25, 2015?
The Foreign Minister of France told Secretary of State John Kerry that the world has only 500 days until there is climate chaos. This was reported on May 14, 2014. He said it on May 13. So, 500 days after May 13, 2014 is September 24, 2015. That’s climate judgment day. Since it will be […] READ MORE
