The six-county region’s median price reached $600,000 in August, up 12.1% from a year earlier, according to data released Wednesday by DQNews. That was the largest percentage increase since 2014 and the third consecutive month during which prices set a new all-time high. Sales rose 2.4% from a year earlier. The price leap may seem unlikely amid double-digit unemployment, but analysts say the trend reflects the uneven effect of the coronavirus and its economic fallout. Compared with low-wage workers, people who tend to have the financial ability to buy homes have been less likely to lose their jobs, and in...

PHOENIX - An effort by Arizona's top election official to introduce telephone and videoconferencing options for people to register and vote in certain circumstances has drawn the ire of Gov. Doug Ducey and some county election officials who say it's illegal. Secretary of State Katie Hobbs, a Democrat, and Ducey, a Republican, this week have exchanged a series of increasingly pointed letters about the changes she's seeking, which she says would ensure voters aren't disenfranchised during the pandemic.

Understanding what drives the revolution that is destroying the American republic gives insight into how the 2020 election’s results may impact its course. Its practical question—who rules?—is historically familiar. But any revolution’s quarrels and stakes obscure the question: to what end? Our revolution is by the ruling class—a revolution from above. Crushing obstacles to its growing oligarchic rule is the proximate purpose. But the logic that drives the revolution aims at civilization itself. What follows describes how far along its path that logic has taken America, and where it might take us in the future depending on the election’s outcome....

The city of Louisville will see riots tonight – you can mark that down. Domestic terrorist organizers funded by George Soros and the Democrat Party have been whipping up crowds all day today in the wake of a grand jury’s decision to charge one police officer in the Breonna Taylor killing and not charge two others. The grand jury made that decision after considering the actual evidence in the case as presented by the local District Attorney - who is a Black man - instead of the 100% false narrative spread for months now by the Taylor family’s corrupt lawyer...

Joe Biden appeared visibly rattled and agitated when asked by reporters on Wednesday whether his role as vice president in charge of Ukraine foreign policy presented a conflict of interest while Hunter sat on the board of Ukrainian energy firm Burisma Holdings. “It’s not a conflict of interest! There’s been no indication of any conflict of interest, from Ukraine or anywhere else. Period!” Biden snapped.

Louisville “protesters” stormed a restaurant and threw tables and chairs on the outdoor patio on Wednesday, following the announcement that officers would not be charged for the death of Breonna Taylor. The restaurant and it’s owners, of course, had nothing to do with the shooting or the grand jury’s decision.

Bill Kristol @BillKristol My initial judgment: The fight over the Supreme Court is likely to help Joe Biden against Trump (as I argue in this piece). I also think it could help Democratic challengers in many Senate races. And FWIW: I'm not so sure Mitch McConnell will prevail. How Biden Will Handle the Supreme Court Vacancy thebulwark.com

The International Space Station just dodged a fast-moving hunk of orbiting junk. Controllers maneuvered the station away from a potential collision with a piece of debris today (Sept. 22) at 5:19 p.m. EDT (2119 GMT). They did so by firing the thrusters on a Russian Progress cargo spacecraft that's docked to the orbiting lab's Zvezda service module, NASA officials said in an update today. The three astronauts currently living aboard the station — NASA's Chris Cassidy and cosmonauts Anatoli Ivanishin and Ivan Vagner — sheltered in the station's Russian segment during the maneuver to be closer to their Soyuz spacecraft,...

A high school in Florida has banned its football team from flying the “Thin Blue Line” flag, deeming it inappropriate, after the athletes flew the pro-police flags on the field to honor one student’s dead police officer father. A “racist” flag?: Fletcher High School’s football team, the Fletcher Senators, had flown the flag during 11 games of the 2019 season and flew it again during a game last week. The team flew the flag to honor former Jacksonville Beach police officer Cpl. Andy Lavender who died last August. His son, Caelan, is an offensive lineman for the team.

Sen. John Barrasso (R-Wy.) took a jab at Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden on Tuesday, saying he’s “not sure what he recalls” about his time as Senate Judiciary Committee chairman. “I don’t know what Joe Biden remembers when you look back at the time when he played such a role in the hearings for Judge [Robert] Bork. He was the one who basically turned on what became a political circus,” Barrasso said at a Senate GOP press conference. His comments come as Senate GOP leaders move to fill a Supreme Court vacancy left by Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who died...
