Four of the 10 indicators included in the LEI made positive contributions in April, led by the interest rate spread. The largest negative contribution came from average weekly initial claims for unemployment-insurance benefits. Economists polled by MarketWatch had expected the index to show no growth in April. The gauge for March was revised higher to 0.7% from a prior estimate of 0.4%. The LEI is a weighted gauge of 10 indicators that are designed to signal business cycle peaks and troughs. For the six months through April, the LEI gained 3.5%, up from 1.4% in the prior six months.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/thumbs.dreamstime.com\/thumbimg_235\/1202538765DoAyT9.jpg\"><strong>Source: http:\/\/www.marketwatch.com\/story\/april-leading-economic-indicators-fall-03-2011-05-19-100410?siteid=bnbh<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/thumbs.dreamstime.com\/thumbimg_281\/12140065202h96n5.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"93\" height=\"130\" \/><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/thumbs.dreamstime.com\/thumbimg_235\/1202538765DoAyT9.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"120\" height=\"90\" \/>WATCHWOMAN COMMENTS<\/span>: \u00a0Communism has never worked any where it has ever been tried. \u00a0Why do Obama supporters and those who voted him think it&#8217;s going to work here? <\/strong><strong>\u25ac Donna Calvin<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Ruth Mantell WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) &#8212;

He continued that God wasn't important, wasn't real, and our parents just used God to impose restrictions on us because they were inadequate to parent effectively. I knew then I was going to be involved in a war and that I would have to be in Jesus Christ's Army. Even then, I knew the United States of America would cease to exist without the vast majority of its citizens voluntarily submitting to the Perfect and Good Laws of the Holy Bible. I am a woman who loves the Lord Jesus Christ. I am tired of seeing our LORD denigrated from the school house to the White House. I search the Internet for items that ought to serve as a warning to Americans and Christians all through America, but the nation seems to be sleeping. Wake up America! You are losing your freedoms, your children and your country.
