  25-01-2026 17:08 via ocregister.com
  
  Americans bought homes at the fourth-slowest pace for a November in a 21-year history, despite the lowest mortgage rates in three years.
  Nationally, 269,665 residences were sold in November. That’s existing homes and newly built properties – both houses and condos, according to Attom data dating to 2005. This broad tally of sales is off 13% over 12 months and 18% below average.
  It’s no short-run slip. Sales over the past three years averaged 340,913 per month, 8% below the pace

• Are you old enough to read this column? Yes, and young enough, too

  25-01-2026 16:09 via ocregister.com
  
  I am hearing from readers that there may be a movement afoot for me to rename my column because being a fan of Senior Moments makes them feel old.It’s all in perspective, of course.One reader named Helena (she used an assumed name because she is only 45 years old, rather than 50, which is associated with being – or at least getting – old) confessed sheepishly that my stories resonated with her.Does that mean, she wanted to know, she is aging too fast?

  By Jazmin Orozco Rodriguez, Oona Zenda, KFF Health News
  Just hours after Rhonda Swaney left a prenatal appointment for her first pregnancy, she felt severe pain in her stomach and started vomiting.
  Then 25 years old and six months pregnant, she drove herself to the emergency room in Ronan, Montana, on the Flathead Indian Reservation, where an ambulance transferred her to a larger hospital 60 miles away in Missoula. Once she arrived, the staff couldn’t detect her baby’s heartbeat. Swa

• Don’t equate antisemitism with anti-Zionism, Chapman University argues

  Chapman University(file photo)
  “Thank God for Dead Soldiers.” “Pope in Hell.” “Priests Rape Boys.”
  Not exactly refined commentary, perhaps, but courts have determined that such sentiments are protected by the First Amendment nonetheless. So argue attorneys for Chapman University in their response to a lawsuit filed by a pair of recent graduates who charge Chapman with antisemitism.

• California produced two Republican presidents. Why not a Democratic one?

  25-01-2026 16:00 via ocregister.com
  
  California once exported a national mood: confidence, growth, competence, a booming middle class, and large industries that represented national strength. That vision was the California that helped produce and endorse Republican presidents like Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan, both from Southern California.
  Modern California exports a different national image today: staggering costs, visible chaos, costly housing, soaring energy prices, and a politics that often seems geared toward deep-blue cit

  In the heart of this piece is a tale of two friends and a human story about what it means to seek both justice and mercy in our national immigration debate.
  A couple of weeks ago, I said goodbye to my dear friend Jackie Cruz Acencio as she prepared to leave San Diego with her husband, Oscar, a U.S. Marine, who is being medically evacuated from Balboa Naval Hospital following a tragedy that never should have happened. 
  On Sunday of Thanksgiving weekend, Oscar was driving his family home with

• Fred Smoller: Orange County has too many cities. It’s time to right-size.

  25-01-2026 15:00 via ocregister.com
  
  Regarding your January 15 editorial (“Orange County cities eye tax hikes, not spending cuts”), to maintain city services without increasing taxes, Orange County should consider reducing the number of local government units. 
  The number of Orange County cities has grown significantly. In 1960, there were only 15. By 1975 there were 25. Today, 34. This number will increase as new cities are formed in South County.
  The City of Orange (population 138,000) has an entire city (Villa P

• Editorial: Ballot measure hamstrings future AI development

  25-01-2026 15:00 via ocregister.com
  
  With the rapid rise of Artificial Intelligence, policy makers in California and other states are rushing to address the technology’s potential downsides by reaching into their usual toolbox of regulation. Gov. Gavin Newsom signed one relatively modest law last year, but vetoed a far-reaching measure with nebulous language that could have hobbled an industry that’s become a leading source of state revenue.
  The Trump administration is taking the right tack by pushing a federal approach

• Young couples embracing prenuptial agreements

  I recently read an article in a national magazine that reported young, engaged couples now embrace prenuptial agreements.
  Man, did that make me feel old (as does using the word “man” just then).
  I remember when prenups were viewed as something only for the wealthy, and, worse, they meant someone didn’t think the marriage would last. Maybe that last part is still true — after all, Gen Z grew up with not just divorced parents, but divorced grandparents as not unusual.

• National School Choice Week holds up a mirror to the failure of our current K-12 system

  25-01-2026 14:00 via ocregister.com
  
  Today marks School Choice Week, a time when advocates of educational freedom highlight and promote the value of school choice. As the last few years have taught a lot of parents, it’s better to have options than to be stuck, subject to the whims of any single institution.
  The premise of school choice is relatively straightforward. If your local, traditional public K-12 school is serving the needs for your child, great.
  But if it’s not, it best serves the interests of parents, student
