German Homeschool Family Can Stay
A family that fled Germany in order to homeschool their children was about to be deported by the Department of Homeland Security. Now the DHS has reversed its stand. The family may remain in Tennessee. Homeschooling has been illegal in Germany for a century. The German state does not want competition for control over the […] READ MORE


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. That’s a lot of cars—just enough to equip every man, woman, and child in the state of Iowa with a new vehicle, and just slightly […] READ MORE

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. Single-family housing starts rose just under […] READ MORE


The State as Grover Dill
Two decades before The Christmas Story, I entered the world of Jean Shepherd’s imagination. I spent two semesters at Westminster seminary in Philadelphia. Philadelphia was within the range of WOR in New York City. Every week night, beginning at 10:15, I would listen for 45 minutes to Jean Shepherd’s monologue. Those were the most imaginatively […] READ MORE

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. The aerial photographs are simply astounding. These are new-car parks. No one wants them. No one is expected to want them. The car manufacturers pretend that […] READ MORE

Retired University Marxists: Tax-Funded Laughingstocks in a Truly Lost Cause
What do you do in retirement after you have wasted your life on a lost cause? Your youth is gone. Your dreams are gone. Your audience is gone. The clock is ticking. So, you putter around the house, and recall better days. Marxism is a lost cause. When the Soviet Union committed suicide in December […] READ MORE

Legalized Pot Hurting Mexico Cartels & Infuriating DEA
In news that no one had to be Nostradamus to predict, the legalization of marijuana has had a ripple effect on the “War on Drugs,” massively impacting the profitability and reach of Mexican drug cartels, which are taking a huge financial hit. The cost of the “drug” has dropped on the black market, and in […] READ MORE

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. Some people are unlucky enough to know of or to be harassed by an annoying enemy that pursues a personal vendetta well past the point of acceptable interaction. Annoying people […] READ MORE

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
