42+ min ago (320+ words) There is now frustration and fear after President Trump's new comments on immigration, including a possible crackdown affecting Afghan residents, following the National Guard shooting in Washington, DC. Velena Jones reports. Just days after the deadly National Guard shooting in DC, Afghan immigrants in the Bay Area say they're feeling new fears following President Trump's vow to stop immigration requests from what he called "third world countries," and his call for "reverse migration." Trump's comments come after authorities identified the suspect as an Afghan national, who once worked with a CIA-backed group, killed one national guard reservist and severely injured another. A man who came from Afghanistan to the US in 1981, who asked to remain anonymous, said he is fearing retaliation against him and his community. "My message is to others. Please be useful to this country. It is a very…...

Both baseball and cricket trace their origins back to medieval European bat-and-ball games and are more like "cousins." Cricket fields all over the world are in the middle of cities and residential neighborhoods, and they are safe. It is fun to play and or watch cricket, so let us go for it. Subru Bhat Union City Re: "Coal project costs mounting" (Page A1, Nov. 26). The New York Times article about Phil Tagami's proposed Oakland coal terminal is very misleading. The article says, "a state judge ruled in 2023 that the city had to uphold its deal with Tagami." However, that ruling only provided Tagami with $320,000 in damages. The disappointed coal developers found a judge in…...

"It's been a nightmare," Luzzi said, gleeful as she showed off clothing deals she snagged for her family on Friday at Hillsdale Shopping Center in San Mateo. Despite talk of the death of American malls due to online shopping and the COVID-19 pandemic, the Peninsula center was full of life, with children climbing on the outdoor playground and every table in the food court packed. For many Bay Area consumers, the holiday season is a balancing act: navigating rising costs and economic uncertainty while still enjoying the rituals and joy of gift shopping. Rachel Michelin, president of the California Retailers Association, said shoppers are embracing both the convenience of online buying and the tradition of in-person browsing. "Going to in-person…...

1+ hour, 24+ min ago (535+ words) SAN JOSE " William Eklund and Adam Gaudette scored goals 1:14 apart in the second period to help lift the Sharks to a penalty-filled and sometimes feisty 3-2 win over the Vancouver Canucks on Friday afternoon at SAP Center. Eklund's power play goal from a sharp angle off an assist from Macklin Celebrini at the 14:03 mark of the second period tied the game 2-2. Just over a minute later, Gaudette jammed at a loose puck that was beside the post and next to the left pad of Canucks goalie Nikita Tolopilo. It was not ruled a goal on the ice, but after the NHL initiated a video review, it was determined that Gaudette's shot completely crossed the Canucks' goal line at the 15:17 mark of the second period. That was enough offense for goalie Yaroslav Askarov, who made 32 saves for his ninth win this month,…...

3+ hour, 4+ min ago (893+ words) By Justin Spike | Associated Press Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orb'n held talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin at the Kremlin on Friday, once again shunning efforts by his European Union partners to isolate Moscow over its invasion of neighboring Ukraine nearly four years ago. The trip to Moscow is the second since last year for Orb'n, who is widely considered Putin's closest partner among all EU leaders. Hungary is one of only a few EU countries to continue importing large quantities of Russian fossil fuels, and Orb'n has strongly opposed efforts by the bloc to wean its 27 member nations off Russian energy supplies. "We have important areas of cooperation, and we haven't given up on any area of that cooperation, no matter the external pressure," Orb'n said. "Russian energy forms the basis of Hungary's energy supply, now and in the…...
