2+ hour, 39+ 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.

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.
