Home prices will fall in about half the markets in the US next year, a top housing economist said on Thursday. Lawrence Yun, chief economist at the National Association of Realtors (NAR), said he is forecasting 0% home-price growth in 2023. That means prices will increase in about half of the areas that NAR tracks, but decrease in the other half, Yun said. Yun, who was speaking to the National Association of Real Estate Editors conference in Atlanta, Georgia, said he predicts the home-price declines will be most dramatic in the most expensive parts of the country.

So CSI: Vegas decided that, instead of a show about 'assault-style weapons', they did one about trailer park rednecks and a Ruger 10/22.Here's a link to the show. They called it a 'murder weapon', a 'sniper weapon', before they finally figured out it was shot into air and hit the victim by accident.But they must have said 'Ruger 10/22' seven or eight times.

Democrats in a dozen-and-a-half swing House districts are panicking over the hundreds of millions of dollars of outside money pouring into races featuring vulnerable GOP incumbents. And the national Democratic Party can send very little. National Democratic organizations aren’t airing TV ads in six of the 14 Republican-held districts that went for Biden in 2020. Many of those districts, like the seat held by retiring congresswoman Democratic Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick, will be sacrificed because the national party just doesn’t have the cash. “I know with every bone in my body that [Kristen] Engel will win this district if we can...

On December 17, 2020, CHI Memorial Hospital nurse manager Tiffany Dover became one of the first American healthcare workers to receive Pfizer’s novel mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccine. With media crews on hand recording the public event, Dover was presented to the public for a post-injection interview with the hopes to promote future uptake in a product that was then considered a possible cure to the coronavirus. “It’s been a hard time,” Dover said about the last year. “We’ve persevered through it, but I think that this vaccination offers us hope.” Twitter avatar for @Entow1jaya Ento_wijaya @Entow1jaya Watch | US head nurse...

Nearly 40 congressional Republicans sent a letter Wednesday to the FBI expressing deep concern over the rise in high-profile investigations into pro-life Americans since the overturning of Roe v. Wade last summer. Such investigations have raised “well-founded concerns that the FBI has amassed too much power and has become a partisan cudgel wielded by the Biden Administration at the behest of progressive activists against political opponents and dissenters,” the letter reads. The letter, written by Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) and signed by House and Senate lawmakers, lays out demands for transparency and data on the bureau’s enforcement of the Freedom...

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A group of U.S. Senate Democrats sounded the alarm over a lack of election workers ahead of the Nov. 8 midterm voting, citing threats and harassment as hurdles to recruiting crucial staff. In an Oct. 6 letter to the U.S. Election Assistance Commission, 13 Senate Democrats and two independents aligned with Democrats called for the federal agency to step up efforts to support states in recruiting workers needed to run next month's midterm elections. “Recruitment efforts have been further hampered by the increase in threats and harassment targeting election workers," the letter stated. "We urge you to...

We all know that the globalist powers-that-be are behind the covid bioweapon injection and that it’s all a part of their Great Reset agenda. What’s their reasoning? I can guarantee you it’s more that simply compliance or even depopulation, although those are both a part of it. I appeared on Deanna Lorraine’s Shots Fired on the Stew Peters Network to explain what’s really going on. The reality is that Klaus Schwab and his plan for The Great Reset can only succeed at being implemented if they are successful with their bioweapon injections, which they largely have been to-date. However, the...

Contrary to plans, Sweden, Denmark and Germany will not form a joint investigation team to investigate the leaks in the Nord Stream pipelines. According to SPIEGEL information, Sweden has rejected the establishment of an international Joint Investigation Team (JIT). According to information from security circles, Sweden is said to have justified the refusal by saying that the security classification of its investigation results was too high to share them with other countries. Shortly after the sabotage operation at the end of September, the federal government decided that German investigators should take part in the investigation. Federal police and army sent...

How are mail-in and absentee ballots verified? Whether a state requires voters to request an absentee ballot or participates in universal mail-in voting, all ballots cast by mail or dropped off at a drop box are vetted to ensure their legitimacy. Election officials log every mail ballot so voters cannot request more than one. Those ballots also are logged when they are returned, checked against registration records and, in many cases, voter signatures are on file to ensure the voter assigned to the ballot is the one who cast it. Still, mail ballots are one of the most frequent targets...

A Florida man was arrested for having a nine-year-old drive kid him home in a car on Sunday. Alexander Berrios, 22, allegedly gave directions to the child, who had already driven around 3 miles, along the nearly 7-mile (11.2-km-long) trip, the Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office said in a news release.

Apparently, when a fish is hungry, it doesn't take long to get a bite. It only took 15 seconds for the crew aboard the Special K to get the mammoth Warsaw grouper to take the bait, which eventually landed them on the leaderboard of the 74th annual Destin Fishing Rodeo. Garrett Thornton of Blackshear, Georgia, hauled in a 333.8-pound Warsaw while fishing with Capt. Kyle Lowe on the Special K on Oct. 9. The fish weighed 349 pounds before it was gutted. All fish entries in the rodeo are gutted weights. Another new record set: 'Oh, this is a big...

J. Alex Halderman, Professor of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Michigan, claims to have identified a critical privacy flaw in the election infrastructure sold by Dominion Voting Systems in the United States. (snip) The researchers explain:This vulnerability is a privacy flaw and cannot directly modify results or change votes. Nevertheless, the secret ballot is an important security mechanism, and some voters—especially the most vulnerable in society—may face real or perceived threats of coercion unless the privacy of their votes is strongly protected.

The federal government is at war with pro-life activists. By that I don’t mean that Democrat politicians are doing everything they can to extend the so-called “right” to abortion until birth. That is politics, and for better or worse in the United States political decisions about when life begins and constitutional protections for human beings is afforded to a fetus belong to the states. State governments are given “police power” under the Constitution, not the federal government. Police powers are the fundamental ability of a government to enact laws to coerce its citizenry for the public good, although the term...

Liermann told the court he got a good look at the driver of the SUV – describing him in detail. Liermann then talked about how the SUV drove right through the Catholic Community of Waukesha group on the parade route. "When he drove through that group, he struck many of them, run over. I could see people come out from under the vehicle," Liermann said. Liermann told the court he never saw the vehicle slow down, never saw brake lights, and never heard a horn honking from the SUV. "There was no panic, no distress. It seemed to me like...

WASHINGTON (AP) — What keeps driving inflation so high? The answer, it seems, is nearly everything. Supply chain snarls and parts shortages inflated the cost of factory goods when the economy rocketed out of the pandemic recession two years ago. Then it was a surge in consumer spending fueled by federal stimulus checks. Then Russia’s invasion of Ukraine disrupted gas and food supplies and sent those prices skyward. Since March, the Federal Reserve has been aggressively raising interest rates to try to cool the price spikes. So far, there’s little sign of progress. Thursday’s report on consumer prices in September...
