A San Diego building housing an office for Sen. Kamala Harris and the San Diego Union-Tribune was evacuated Wednesday after a suspicious package was found. The packages were discovered atop a trash can outside the newspaper’s office, San Diego police Officer Billy Hernandez told reporters. The paper’s immigration reporter Kate Morrissey shared a photo of the packages to social media following the evacuation. A press representative for Harris has yet to issue a statement on the incident.

Just reported here in San Diego that a suspicious package has been discovered at the local newspaper the Union Tribune. The building has now been evacuated. I mean come on… the Union Tribune? Debbie Wasserman Schultz? Why not just paint a false flag on your four head and go running through the street screaming the GOP is bad the GOP is bad the GOP is bad ....

Thursday, Nov. 2, 2006 | The San Diego Union-Tribune is offering early retirement packages to 67 employees who have at least 30 years of experience in an attempt to cut payroll costs without laying off employees.

William Lerach, a Democratic funder ... announced plans this week to sue Sinclair because by running the documentary it was creating controversy that cost it advertising revenue.... Media Matters, a liberal media agit-prop outfit, announced it was underwriting another shareholder suit and demanded that Sinclair provide equal time to those with opposing views.

Bush promotes law breaking Posted: January 30, 2004 1:00 a.m. Eastern © 2004 WorldNetDaily.com Common sense says if you tell people they will have a better shot at attaining legal status as Americans if they just come to this country to work for a while, more people will enter the country illegally. Common sense has now been borne out by hard statistical facts provided by the Border Patrol.

Why Davis deserves to be recalled http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/op-ed/perkins/20030620-9999_mz1e20perkin.html Joseph Perkins SAN DIEGO UNION-TRIBUNE June 20, 2003 Gray Davis is a dead man walking. The most unpopular governor in California history very well could become the first occupant of the state's highest office to be recalled by the voters. Davis suggests that the recall campaign – which he previously dismissed as quixotic – is nothing more than a nefarious attempt by Republicans to overturn the result of California's last gubernatorial election.
