Rep #PeteAguilar asks #Defense Secy #PeteHegseth about the deployment of #NationalGuard troops to #LosAngeles, #California, & the verified news reports they do not have funding for #food, #water, #fuel or #lodging.

Then #Hegseth attacks #GavinNewsom & spouts tired #propaganda that #protesters are "rioters, looters & thugs" rather than people legally expressing their #FirstAmendment rights with the usual handful of opportunists joining in.

“This is what happens when the president & (Secy of #Defense #PeteHegseth) demand the #NationalGuard state assets deploy immediately with no plan in place … (&) no federal funding available for #food, #water, #fuel & #lodging,” the source said. “This is really the failure of the #FederalGovernment. If you’re going to federalize these #troops, then take care of them.”

‘Wildly underprepared’: #NationalGuard troops sleeping on floors

The #troops — whose makeshift quarters are shown in photographs exclusively obtained by the Chronicle — arrived WITHOUT federal funding for #food, #water, #fuel, #equipment or #lodging, said the source, who was granted confidentiality under SF Chronicle policies. This person said #state ofcls & the #California National Guard were not to blame.

Twelve pet peeves about modern hotels

Listed below are this author’s 12 pet peeves about staying in modern hotels. If there are others that readers of this blog wish to send along, please feel free to do so. The peeves are not listed in order of importance and this author is sure there are many more peeves that could be added. Peace!

——-

• Why are there so many darn gadgets with glow-in-the-dark digital lighting that cast unwanted light across the room like the Vegas Strip at night?

• Must 90% of all continental breakfasts be composed of solely carbs and sugar?

• Please let the customer control the heating and air conditioning, instead of being subjected to preset temps in the room that arc back and forth between North Pole and Death Valley.

• Why does a pet cost nearly as much per night as a person? And, what the hell is it with $75 for the first three nights, even if you only stay for one, at certain hotel brands. If you don’t want pets, just say so.

• Funny how in the archaic days of pre-internet you could cancel reservations over the phone by 6:00 pm on the day of arrival and not be charged. But now, in the high speed digital age, many places require 48 hours notice or more!  So, it now takes two days for a cancellation to reach its destination where before it took mere seconds by phone? Can you say “rip-off?”

• Why can’t night shade curtains be made that actually extend past the middle of the window so that damn beacon in the parking lot doesn’t shine through right where your face is on the pillow?

• My kingdom for a mini-fridge that doesn’t turn everything into a glacier overnight!

• Exactly how many documents does one have to sign to check in to a hotel for that breathtaking cubicle overlooking the truck stop?

• Why are breakfast areas always jammed packed with travel soccer teams or families heading to Disney World right when we come down to eat?

• Ever notice how brand new hotels, especially along highways, are awesome at first, but each subsequent visit they seem to be gradually losing their luster to the point that within a few years they seem to be falling apart? Are we that disposable of a society?

• Does anyone offer decaffeinated coffee anymore?

• Why do hotel showers always have a sweet spot on the handle that instantly switches between hell-fire and deep freeze?

Which is, in the eyes of the government, just fine, as it hopes to welcome 60 million visitors a year by 2030. However, both the central and regional governments are grappling with ways to get tourists to spread the love across Japan and stop crowding into it…
