[TWITTER] A woman has been convicted by a Portland, Ore. jury of criminal harassment and a hate crime after she misgendered and confronted a trans person using the women's bathroom.
Cassandra McIntyre told Riis Larsen (pictured below), a far-left trans activist formerly known as Ronald A. Larsen, that they're a man and to "get out" after the male allegedly shoved another person to cut in line for the women's toilet. The jury saw video of McIntyre lightly shoving Larsen during the confrontation. She was sentenced to two years probation plus community service—longer than what convicted violent BLM-Antifa rioters and arsonists received in Multnomah County.
Larsen is a self-identified Marxist "queer demi-binary trans woman" who posts online often about transphobia.

[JustTheNews] The company was estimated to have pumped over 5.3 billion gallons of groundwater in 2022.
The Saudi Arabian-backed company Fondomonte Arizona is officially no longer using the state's water resources.
According to the governor's office, the State Land Department inspected the company's land leases in western Arizona's Butler Valley on Feb. 15, which determined that it was no longer irrigating. The company was estimated to have pumped over 5.3 billion gallons of groundwater in 2022, according to Arizona's Family.
“Today is the start of a new chapter for Arizona’s water future,” Gov. Katie Hobbs in a statement on Thursday.
“I’m not afraid to hold people accountable, maximize value for the state land trust, and protect Arizona’s water security. I am proud to deliver this not just for the La Paz County community, but for the entire state of Arizona, and will continue taking decisive action to protect Arizona’s water so we can thrive for generations to come," the governor added.
Her office also noted that it appears that Fondomonte is making strides in leaving after the governor canceled their leases on its thousands of acres of land in October, The Center Square reported.
"The Arizona Attorney General's Office worked closely with Governor Hobbs' administration on these inspections, which confirmed what we have suspected – Fondomonte has been in violation of its leases for many years," Attorney General Kris Mayes said in a statement at the time.
"And while today's announcement is commendable, it should have been taken by state government much earlier. The failure to act sooner underscores the need for greater oversight and accountability in the management of our state's most vital resource," Mayes continued.
However, the office said that the company has a pending appeal in court for the cancellations, even though the agreements ended on Feb. 14.
The farms in the Butler Valley focused on growing alfalfa that gets sent back to the Middle East in order to feed cattle, according to the New York Times. Fondomonte is part of
something, something, United.
[Daily Mail, where America gets it news] A Boeing 737 MAX 8 operated by United Airlines veered off the runway after landing in Houston early Friday in the latest near-miss involving the embattled airliner.
The aircraft, which arrived from Memphis, is said to have suffered some form of gear collapse as it exited the runway at George Bush Airport, although the 160 passengers and six crew were not injured.
Shocking footage showed the plane lying flat on its wings on grass by the side of the runway, while passengers were hurried off from an emergency gate ladder.
It is the latest in a string of disastrous failings involving Boeing aircraft in recent days, including a 737 engine that caught fire mid-flight on Monday and a wheel falling off shortly after takeoff in San Francisco on Thursday.
The airliner also suffered a near-catastrophe in January as a 737 MAX 9 plane door blew out at 16,000ft over Portland, Oregon, forcing an emergency landing.
Boeing told DailyMail.com in a statement on Friday: 'We are closely monitoring the situation and will provide any support needed to United Airlines and the investigators.'

Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Regnum] An earthquake of magnitude 6.0 was recorded off the coast of Indonesia and the Philippines. The European-Mediterranean Seismological Center reported this on its website on March 8.
The epicenter of the tremors was located 146 km southeast of the city of Mati in the Philippines, which is home to 105 thousand people. The source of the earthquake lay at a depth of 125 km.
There were no reports of casualties or damage, and no tsunami threat was declared.
As Regnum reported, earlier on March 8, an earthquake of magnitude 4.8 was recorded off the coast of the Kuril Islands. The tremors occurred at 01:59 Moscow time, 53 kilometers from the island of Simushir in the Pacific Ocean.
An earthquake of magnitude 5.3 occurred in the Chinese province of Qinghai on March 5. The source of the tremors lay at a depth of ten kilometers; there were no reports of casualties or damage.
An earthquake of magnitude 4.9 occurred in the Turkish province of Canakkale on March 4. Its epicenter was located near the settlement of Yenidzhe with a population of about 35 thousand people.
[Breitbart] Special operations and irregular warfare are shaping the world’s future. Irregular forces sparked a regional war and are shutting down crucial shipping lanes as covert operations are attempting to influence elections. What is old is new: the inspiration for modern American special and covert operations originates in a previously untold Civil War story. John Singleton Mosby, one of the main characters of this story, 161 years ago this week conducted what is considered the perfect special operation. The Hunter's Head 9048 John S. Mosby Highway (Route 50)
Upperville, VA 20184
Through the drizzling rain and melting snow on the night of March 9, 1863, Mosby, the guerrilla leader who had most confounded the Union Army with his incessant raids on enemy pickets, rail lines, and other strategic targets and then faded back into the Virginia countryside defying all attempts to capture him, led his men on yet another midnight special operation. Shrouded in darkness and black rain ponchos that hid their Confederate gray uniforms, the 30 men rode toward an unknown destination, which Mosby had revealed only to the man he was trusting to get them through enemy checkpoints—Sergeant James F. “Big Yankee” Ames, who had deserted from the Union Army only weeks earlier. Dine where Mosby's men once rode. Pub style with Guinness on tap. Horses and dogs welcome. Ample hitching and watering available.

Fascinating post civil war friendship with Grant, but the Patton connection is astounding: "His influence extended even further to his time in San Gabriel, California, with a young George Patton, Jr on their family ranch. Undoubtedly, America’s greatest guerrilla warfare practitioner’s lightning attacks and cavalry tactics impacted the young man’s tank and maneuver warfare tenets that he later developed and utilized in World War II."

[Breitbart] The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) on Thursday reported on an alleged secret 2022 Chinese government directive called “Document 79,” whose purpose is to “delete America” from the Chinese tech industry.
Under this directive, Chinese state-owned enterprises (SOE) are required to phase out foreign software no later than 2027.
The WSJ explained:
American tech giants had long thrived in China as they hot-wired the country’s meteoric industrial rise with computers, operating systems and software. Chinese leaders want to sever that relationship, driven by a push for self-sufficiency and concerns over the country’s long-term security.
Document 79 has an anodyne name, but its alleged contents were explosive — so much so that Chinese officials and corporate executives were ordered to memorize it without taking pictures or making copies. Since 2022, the secret order has been wielded against American tech giants such as Dell, IBM, and Cisco.
Execution of Document 79 is reportedly overseen by the State-Owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission (SASAC), which did not respond when asked for comment by the WSJ. More than half of China’s largest companies are SOEs, commanding almost $7 trillion in value.
Insiders said the shorthand nickname for the order among Chinese executives is “Delete A,” which is short for “Delete America.” Although Document 79 was top secret, the nickname has leaked into public discourse, as some Chinese software companies explicitly offer their services to help “Delete A” from corporate systems.
Doing so has required these enterprises to buy Chinese information technology products instead — a solution many executives are quietly unhappy with because the locally produced software and hardware are not as good as the forbidden American alternatives.
Some analysts said the forced shift to domestic IT products has done significant damage to the Chinese economy. The order has also knocked eight to ten percent off the market share of U.S. computer titans like Dell and Hewlett-Packard. Even Microsoft has lost market share in China despite furious efforts to keep its operating system alive there.
Major Chinese tech companies like Huawei are creating products to push American electronics out of the Chinese market, and some U.S. companies, like Oracle, have discovered that Chinese firms were established specifically to replace them. Analysts said regaining lost market share will be increasingly difficult for U.S. firms as they grow distant from Chinese consumers, unable to obtain their feedback and cater to their needs as domestic firms can.

[Regnum] The Polish Sejm voted to suspend the country's participation in the Treaty on Conventional Armed Forces in Europe (CFE), according to the website of the lower house of the Polish parliament.
The document was approved by 435 deputies of the legislative body. Five more parliamentarians voted against the initiative.
Deputy Foreign Minister of Poland Wladislaw Teofil Bartoszewski, in a conversation with reporters, answered the question of why Warsaw decided not to withdraw from the agreement, but only to suspend it. The deputy minister explained that the allies in the North Atlantic Alliance did not agree to the Polish side’s withdrawal from the CFE Treaty.
As Regnum reported, on February 6, Polish Defense Minister Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysh called on Poland to prepare for a possible war with Russia. He emphasized that the reason for this is the conduct of a Russian special military operation (SVO).
On March 6, State Secretary of the Moldovan Ministry of Defense Valery Mija informed that Moldova was suspending its participation in the CFE Treaty. He recalled that the agreement was concluded in 1990, and since then circumstances have changed radically.
Veteran of the Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) Lev Korolkov, in a conversation with a Regnum news agency correspondent, expressed the opinion that Chisinau’s refusal to comply with the CFE Treaty is rather a purely political demarche. The expert noted that such a decision by Moldova does not mean that it will go to seize the unrecognized Transnistrian Moldavian Republic (PMR).
At the same time, according to Korolkov, if Chisinau nevertheless decides to occupy the PMR, then the Moldovan authorities will be faced with an almost impossible task, the solution of which could result in big problems. The SVR veteran added that the warehouse located in the Transnistrian village of Kolbasna poses difficulties for Moldova.
[Citizen Free Press via WND] A new pro-Trump ad spins off of legendary Paul Harvey's "If I were the devil," only this time the character remaking the world is "deep state."
A report at The Gateway Pundit notes it's a creation of the Dilley Team for Trump and was retweeted by Citizen Free Press.
"It is the latest video production by a conservative creator and it is pitch perfect. The video takes on the wickedness of the current lawless regime in Washington, D.C., and the unelected bureaucrats who are destroying the America we love," the report explains.
Paul Harvey, Andrew Breitbart, and Rush, why were they taken from us ?
[Gateway] Tucker Carlson: There was no upside for you in anything he said for you... Biden and his party is encouraging people to have more children... He’s offering abortion, war, castration of children. Who wants all that? ...Joe Biden can’t win. In a fair election Joe Biden cannot win... Chris Hayes the most famous lesbian on television...
...We know they’re going to steal the election because they are saying it out loud.
Tucker then brought on Victor Davis Hanson for analysis.
VDH: I’ve never seen an angrier speech... It was like a mean old man saying get off of my grass.
VDH says Democrats will toss him at their August convention. "What they saw tonight was an old man raging, ranting and barking at the moon."
[Breitbart] Republican Alabama Sen. Katie Britt was roasted for what some described as her "cringe" State of the Union response, as she provided the Republican rebuttal to President Joe Biden’s speech.
In a roughly 17-minute speech from her kitchen, Britt briefly spoke about the American dream and hit a few major Republican talking points, such as the immigration crisis and rising costs affecting American families across the nation. However, while she appeared to address the right topics on paper, her speaking style and overall delivery completely failed to resonate, prompting critiques all across the board, as many mocked her breathy speech, full of pauses, hushed tones, and abrupt emotional switches from near-tears to happy-go-lucky:

[Regnum] Confirmation of the existence of UFOs and evidence that the Earth has ever been visited by alien beings, as well as the possession of extraterrestrial technologies by earthlings, has not been found to this day. Pentagon press secretary Pat Ryder announced this on March 8.
Quite a contrast with previous pronouncements, which contrasted with what was said for decades before. So are they lying now, or were they lying then? And why destroy the world’s trust by lying about something so stupid?
Ryder's statement is associated with the transfer to the US Congress of the first part of the report of the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) on the activities of US authorities related to the study of unidentified anomalous phenomena. The report was required in accordance with the budget approved for the 2023rd fiscal year.
The report is an overview of all official investigations into the subject of UFOs that have been conducted in the United States, as well as the contents of classified and open government archives on the subject.
“The Anomaly Office has found no verifiable evidence to suggest that the US Government and private companies have access to or are reverse-engineering extraterrestrial technology, and has found no evidence that any entity within the US Government, scientific or other official entity has confirmed that the UFO sightings are extraterrestrial technology,” Ryder said.
It is noted that all investigations conducted at different levels of secrecy showed that most UFOs in fact turned out to be ordinary objects or phenomena that were mistakenly accepted by eyewitnesses as extraterrestrial. In addition, Ryder explained that information regarding specific people, known places, technological tests and documents purporting to be related to the reverse engineering of extraterrestrial technology either does not exist or is a misunderstanding of national security programs.
Previously, IA Regnum reported that, as Pentagon spokeswoman Sue Gogh said in July 2023, the US Department of Defense unit involved in the study of UFOs has not identified reliable information confirming the existence of programs that would possess certain alien technologies Our "alien" problem exists at the Southern border, not in space.
At the end of July, the US Congress held hearings on the existence of extraterrestrial civilizations and contacts with them. Ex-American intelligence officer David Grash, who until 2023 was engaged in the analysis of unexplained anomalous phenomena at the Pentagon, spoke before members of the legislative body. He said that he spoke with officials who told him about the presence of flying objects of “extraterrestrial” origin and that biological material was allegedly seized from these objects.
So did the tellers start their tale with, “No shit, there I wuz…”?
Head of the Department of Political Science and Sociology, Russian Economic University. Plekhanov, expert of the Association of Military Political Scientists Andrei Koshkin, in a conversation with IA Regnum, expressed the opinion that public hearings in the American Congress on the topic of UFOs indicate problems and an emerging crisis of power in the United States.

I once tried to debrief a patient who truly believed aliens had implanted a radio transmitter in his brain. He was a "regular" at the ER where I was practicing. He had no idea what day this had happened, even what year, how the aliens got whatever it was inside his skull, what the radio might have been made of, how big it was etc. This was not what he expected me to say, and by the end of my questions he was looking at me like I was crazy...

Extraterrestrial myths can easily foster the tool of fear, media distraction, establish lingering questions about religious faith, and create the impetus for scientific investigation and government funding grants.
Did I mention....'distraction' from actual issues and effective problem solving ?

[Regnum] Malaysian authorities have not ruled out the possibility of reopening the investigation into the disappearance of flight MH370, which disappeared in March 2014. This is stated in a Reuters article dedicated to the tenth anniversary of the tragedy.
Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim said his country is ready to reopen the investigation if new details emerge in the case.
“If there is convincing evidence that the case needs to be reopened, we will certainly be happy to reopen it,” the head of government said.
Malaysian Transport Minister Anthony Loke said that search work could be discussed with specialists from the American company Ocean Infinity. The Australian authorities also promised to assist in resuming the search.
As Regnum reported, flight MH370 took off from Kuala Lumpur on March 8, 2014 and headed to Beijing. Shortly after takeoff, the aircraft disappeared from radar screens. There were 239 people on board the plane - 227 passengers and 12 crew members.
It is believed that the aircraft crashed in the southern Indian Ocean, but the exact location could not be determined. Repeated attempts to locate the wreckage of the missing plane, in which China and Australia took part, were unsuccessful and were abandoned in January 2017. All those on board were declared dead as a result of the accident.
In March 2020, Malaysian authorities settled the issue of payments to relatives of passengers and crew members of a Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777-200 that disappeared in 2014. Malaysian Transport Minister Isham Ishak did not specify how much money was being discussed.
Former Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott said that the reason for the disappearance of the Boeing 777-200 was the suicide of the pilot of flight MH370. He explained that this conclusion was reached in Malaysia. According to him, a few days after the tragedy, senior officials of the Malaysian government already knew the true explanation of what happened. They realized that it was the suicide of the aircraft's captain, Zachariah Ahmad Shah, and not a technical problem with the plane.
