NEW YORK, Aug. 7, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — American Jewish Committee (AJC) is urging Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to consider withdrawing the nomination of Col. Douglas Macgregor as the next U.S. ambassador to Germany.

«It is because of our intensive engagement with Germany that we were so troubled by the reports of recent days regarding Col. Macgregor’s many incendiary comments over the years about the German government, Germany’s confrontation with its Nazi past, the NATO alliance, immigration policy, and other topics,» AJC CEO David Harris wrote in a letter to Secretary Pompeo, who addressed the AJC Virtual Global Forum in June.

Those comments, if Macgregor is confirmed, «would establish as America’s representative, in what many regard as the most important capital in Europe, a relentless critic, presumably handicapped from the start as an effective envoy.»

Harris added that AJC is «similarly disturbed by Col. Macgregor’s remarks on ‘neocons’ and their supposed ‘unconditional support for whatever the Israeli government wants to do’,» as well as his shocking assertion that Germany’s decades-long efforts to grapple with its Nazi past reflects «a sick mentality.»

AJC has been uniquely involved with Germany since the end of World War II and the Holocaust. For more than 70 years, AJC’s pioneering efforts have strengthened understanding and cooperation between the Federal Republic of Germany and the United States. In 1998, AJC opened a permanent office in Berlin, the first by a Jewish advocacy organization. Throughout, AJC has worked closely with American ambassadors and other U.S. diplomats based in Germany. 

«If it is the President’s wish to affect German policy – on defense spending, energy sources, trade imbalances, or other matters – we would urge the nomination, instead, of a skilled diplomat who will serve our nation with the distinction and honor of his or her predecessors in that critical post,» wrote Harris.

MILWAUKEE, Aug. 7, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — «Scientists, physicians and public health experts continue to learn about COVID-19 and how it is spread. We must use the limited tools we have today to slow the spread of the COVID-19 virus and minimize the damage it causes to individuals, our communities, and our economy,» said John R. Raymond, Sr., MD, President and CEO of the Medical College of Wisconsin. «Scientific evidence shows that when all people wear masks in public, transmission of COVID-19 is reduced. The virus is insidious, it doesn’t respect geographic boundaries, and we need to do everything possible to prevent its spread throughout our state. I strongly urge each of us to wear a mask in public as a simple and effective act to protect yourself and others.» 

COVID-19 spreads most easily through respiratory droplets produced when people in close contact with each other cough, sneeze, or talk. Keeping a physical distance of six feet or more from others, washing your hands frequently, and avoiding places where many people are congregating are scientifically proven tools within our control to slow the spread of COVID-19. Recent scientific studies have shown that cloth masks are another important and effective tool to reduce the spread of COVID-19, and that cloth masks provide the greatest protection for all when they are worn by individuals in public places. 

«This is a difficult time for all of us and our resilience continues to be challenged as the pandemic evolves,» continued Dr. Raymond. «Small acts of kindness and empathy go a long way to help each other through this challenge.»

SEATTLE, Aug. 7, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Newly pending sales remain well above last year’s level, according to Zillow’s Weekly Market Reportⁱ. They fell for the second week running in week-over-week numbers, but other measures continue to show a fast-moving market that favors sellers, indicating the recent dip has more to do with a lack of inventory than waning interest from potential buyers. In the rental market, renters and landlords are entering an uncertain period after some added unemployment benefits expired at the end of July. 

«Record-low mortgage rates are helping fuel a brisk pace of home sales later into this summer than normal, but buyers are having to compete over fewer and fewer listings,» said Zillow economist Jeff Tucker. «The flow of new listings has recovered somewhat, but not fast enough to replace all the recent sales, so inventory continues to plumb new record lows. There’s no single reason sellers have been slow to return, but some possibilities include reluctance to having strangers tour their home; concerns about difficulty getting their next home and an assumption that they couldn’t sell for a high price right now.»

Newly pending sales fell last week, but other indicators show a hot market

• Newly pending sales fell 0.9% week over week, but remain 13.8% higher than the same period a year ago. 
• Homes that went under contract last week were typically on the market for 14 days. That’s 11 days faster than last year. 
• The share of listings with a price cut held steady at 4.2%, which is 1.3 percentage points lower than a year ago. It’s remained at that share for the past four weeks.

Sellers are still holding back

• New for-sale listings fell 3.6% week over week and were 15.8% lower than the previous year as would-be sellers continue to largely stay out of the market. That is an improvement from past months — new listings were down 16.5% annually in the week ending April 1, and down 24.7% in the week ending July 1.  
• Total listings are down 26.9% from a year ago, and down 0.9% from a week earlier. 

List prices reach new yearly high

• The median list price in the U.S. continues to grow, now at $343,680, 6.6% higher than last year. 
• During the week ending June 20, the median sale price was $266,805. That’s 1.4% higher than a year prior. 
• The gap between list prices and sale prices does not necessarily mean homes are selling for well under their list price. The most-expensive homes often take longer to sell than more-affordable homes, and they help push the median list price up while they linger on the market. 

Uncertainty ahead for the rental market as some aid expires

• Rents were chugging along at a stable pace before the coronavirus pandemic, but heavy service-sector unemployment has hit renters more severely than homeowners, impacting rental demand and slowing price growth. Boosted unemployment benefits have expired with no replacement in place for now, and that may cause a ripple effect felt by renters, landlords and those who rely on the rental industry. 
• Rent prices in urban areas have slowed more than those in suburban areas, a possible signal that renters’ preferred location is tilting toward the suburbs.
