DeSantis and Abbott are weak. They should show some moxie. Drop off the undocumented travelers at Feinstein's house and Pelosi's house. Not some church in LA.

Just my opinion. It's a long bus ride. They could have taught everyone on the bus to say two words in English. Then when they were all dropped off at Paul Pelosi's front steps, they could have stepped off the bus chanting, "Where's Nancy?"

That gave me a nice chuckle, thanks! What's the point of sending illegals to CA? Send them to places that aren't crawling with them to make an impact. Every border state has so many illegals it would take stadiums full of them to make an impact.

The As management has been cheaping out for as long as I can remember. The Giants are not a "rich" team, but they have been putting forth an effort within their budget. It shows in the number of fans that come to the games.

Amazon is up to its old tricks again. I ordered some gifts for my granddaughter One was supposed to arrive Tuesday night, the other one yesterday. None of them showed up. So now I am waiting the required 24 hours to report them officially missing. Even though both packages say they were delivered, and one of them claims it was handed to a resident who signed for it. Oof course, they cannot tell me the name of this "resident" which leads me to believe the driver got lazy and hit that button because he could not find the address. And yet, when my granddaughter orders from Amazon it gets delivered yesterday. Which is her birthday. What makes me the maddest, is that Tuesday night I got a call from Amazon stating they can't find the address. I told them to just deliver it the next day with the other package that was scheduled for Wednesday delivery. They said okay. Neither one of the packages was delivered.

There are 50 states, The District of Columbia, and US territories. I would fall over laughing, if they sent undocumented migrants to Puerto Rico. It makes sense, right. They speak Spanish. After all, you can't send them to American Samoa.

I'm fairly certain that Greg Abbott and Ron DeSantis are bussing the migrants to places which claim to be sanctuary cities. Cities like NY & Chicago could go on all day long about how we are a nation of immigrants; because nobody is crossing the Canadian border illegally. So now, cities like NY and Chicago get to share the burden of housing, feeding, and providing medical to travelers lacking the necessary documents. You declare yourself a sanctuary city, then here you go, you get someone to provide a sanctuary for.

Just my narrow minded point of view...... if the federal government wants to allow people to come to this country, in any fashion, there needs to be a federal plan of action. The federal government needs to provide the housing, feeding, schooling, medical care, and quality of life comforts. If we are to receive anyone who comes here outside of the immigration process, then planes full of Asians, Africans, Europeans..... anyone in the world, really, will start landing. None of those people will have approved immigration status. And all of them could demand refuge. What does this do to the legal immigration process? Imagine all of the other people around the world, who just can't bumrush our borders, who have applied for immigration to The USA and have waited for up to a decade for approval. What message does that send? And it is grossly unfair to financially burden states along the border with having to pay for all of this. Imagine being a taxpayer in Texas, New Mexico, or Arizona.

What will happen when people illegally cross the Canadian border?

The front office is managed by accountants. They have found the algorithm to spend the least amount on payroll, cut all other costs, depreciate assets, write off expenses, and squeeze out a profit. It's good business. They are profitable with selling a poor quality product. This is Fisher. Look at The Gap, Banana Republic, and Old Navy. They sell poor quality, disposable fashion, and make a profit. They don't care that their jeans are not good. They close stores which aren't profitable. There's no concern for the buyer's satisfaction. They minimize production cost, and sell the product at a markup which allows for them to profit. Nobody at The Gap is saying, "let's make better jeans". Instead, it's, "how much can we charge for these cheap pants, and where can we get them made for the least amount of money?" At The A's, "get the players we can pay the least, make the cheerleaders pay us if they want to dance here, and raise the prices for everything, including parking."

No different than Panda Express. They make a profit by selling poor quality food.

You live in a complex where Amazon, UPS, USPS, FedEx....... all have made mistakes with deliveries. For whatever reason, drivers have a hard time locating the units based on the written address and signage and markings on the buildings. The building does not offer a central mail room for receiving packages. In a lot of large scale residential communities, packages are delivered to the property manager's office or lobby attendant, where you go to pick it up.

There's only one thing for you to do. Go to that Asian Guy's apartment, and demand that he return your stuff. He's got your LOL dolls, laptop computers, and Billie Eilish tank tops.

Speaking of Amazon, don't buy this. It doesn't work. I had to plug it in, pull it out, repeatedly, before it made a connection. Then the connection breaks and disconnects randomly.

I hope that nobody is waiting on anything important. Your package may be late.

The packages that I ordered are not coming to my apartment. They are going to my granddaughters 38 foot 5th wheel trailer in an RV park. I told them that when they called on Tuesday. I just checked a few minutes ago, and it shows it has shipped. Still does not say "out for delivery" yet, but I will keep checking throughout the day.

Okay, I may be getting a Ford F-150 today. Going to take a look at it after the caregiver leaves this afternoon. Here s the CL ad.


It is like a mile north of me. I am at Shields and the 168 FWY, and he is on Ashlan and Cedar. He says it runs rough because it needs two coil packs, and the past due registration is $900. But, when he found out I was a veteran, he said he would lower the price to help with the tags. I want to see it first, but I am sure I will buy it unless there is something major wrong with it. He states the AC blows cold. a plus here in Fresno.
