Video and aypee article at link. Mountain View cops rousted this girl sleeping in her car in the wee hours and then let her go.
This is Nasim Aghdam, the Iranian-American Vegan and PETA activist who was mad because YouTube demonetized and censored the videos she posted under the name Nasime Sabz. So she shot up their headquarters, wounding 3 before killing herself. See here and here.

[Hot Air] Symone Sanders is a CNN contributor and former spokesman for the Bernie Sanders campaign. Yesterday, New York’s PIX 11 News reported that Sanders was detained at LaGuardia airport after she was asked to step out of line for a security check.
She was reportedly given a summons for disorderly conduct. What makes this story somewhat more interesting is that Sanders has a history of problems in airports. Last May she published a series of tweets describing having the police called after American Airlines officials said they felt threatened by her. Essence magazine wrote a story about the incident at the time titled "Flying While Black: American Airlines Called The Cops On Symone Sanders For Trying To Check In Luggage."
[Motherboard.vice] A Motherboard investigation has found that law enforcement agencies across the country have purchased GrayKey, a relatively cheap tool for bypassing the encryption on iPhones, while the FBI pushes again for encryption backdoors.
[ALMASDARNEWS] Great Britannia’s Ambassador to the United Nations ...an organization originally established to war on dictatorships which was promptly infiltrated by dictatorships and is now held in thrall to dictatorships... (U.N.) Karen Pierce stated on Friday that Russia’s accusation that Britannia was behind a false flag chemical weapons attack in Douma was "a blatant lie."
Pierce slammed the Russian report at the U.N., calling their claim "grotesque, bizarre and a blatant lie".
The British diplomat would then go on and say, "I want to state categorically ... that Britannia has no involvement and would never have any involvement in the use of a chemical weapon."
Earlier in the day, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov stated that a thorough investigation was conducted by Russia in Douma and the results proved that Great Britannia wanted to blame a chemical weapons attack on Syria in order to provoke the U.S. to strike the government.

In January 2013, a deep-sea research vessel of the Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology obtained seven deep-sea mud core samples from the seafloor at 5,600 to 5,800 meters depth, approximately 250 kilometres (160 mi) south of the island.[9]
The research team found a mud layer 2 to 4 meters beneath the seabed that is extremely concentrated in rare earth oxides (REO). Analytical results showed that the maximum REO content in the mud was up to 0.66% REO. The deposit compares in grade with the ion-absorption-type deposits in southern China that provide the bulk of Chinese REO mine production, which grade in the range of 0.05% to 0.5% REO.[10] [11]Wikipedia
So why is it "news" today? Coincidence?

Might this help explain China's artificial island? How defensible is it?
Well, the Japanese have some experience with that, as does the Marine Corps.
[Rodong Sinmun] April 11 marks the 6th anniversary of the respected Supreme Leader Kim Pudge Jong-un ...the overweight, pouty-looking hereditary potentate of North Korea. Pudge appears to believe in his own divinity, but has yet to produce any loaves and fishes, so his subjects remain malnourished... 's assumption of the top posts of the Workers' Party of Korea and the State.
His assumption of the top posts of the WPK and the State at the Fourth Conference of the WPK and the Fifth Session of the 12th Supreme People's Assembly of the DPRK in April Juche 101 (2012) was a historic event in which a fresh milestone was set up for accomplishing the cause of building a powerful socialist country, the revolutionary cause of Juche.
This made it possible to glorify the noble revolutionary careers and undying feats of President Kim Il Sung and leader Kim Jong Il forever and invariably inherit the bloodline of Paektu, the tradition of single-hearted unity.
An ever-victorious great guiding force and a powerful and promising socialist state--these are the prestige of our Party and country led by Kim Jong-un.
His guidance ensures the authority of the WPK, the independent dignity of Juche Korea and the worthwhile life and rosy future of our people.
His august name and image as the heaven-sent great man have been kept deeper in the minds of the Korean army and people through the violent storm of history decisive of the destiny of the country, the nation and socialism. Our army and people have grown into those strong in idea and faith, absolutely trusting and following the Supreme Leader, and built a manifold fortress to protect the Party.
It is thanks to him that our Party and State have displayed their dignity as the glorious party and state of Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il and Korean-style socialism could advance full of vigor and dynamism, opening a great heyday of national prosperity.

NEW YORK (AP) ‐ Three of America’s biggest banks reported higher profits Friday, with a huge assist from the tax law passed late last year.
JPMorgan reported a record quarterly profit, while Citigroup and Wells Fargo topped analyst expectations.
Banks are expected to be major beneficiaries of the tax overhaul, which sharply lowered corporate tax rates. Comparing each of the effective tax rates from last year to this year, the three Wall Street banks that reported earnings Friday appeared to have saved roughly $1.6 billion altogether.
The first-quarter earnings season will give investors and the public their first good look into how President Trump’s tax law is impacting Corporate America. Publicly traded banks are the first major industry to report their results each quarter.
Net income at JPMorgan Chase, the nation’s largest bank by assets and deposits, rose 35 percent to $8.71 billion. The result was primarily driven by two factors: higher interest rates, which have allowed banks such as JPMorgan to charge more for customers to borrow, and the lower corporate tax rate.
However, JPMorgan had to set aside more money to cover bad loans in its consumer bank, where delinquencies have been steadily edging higher. JPMorgan shares fell 2.7 percent, while shares of Wells Fargo slipped 3.4 percent and Citigroup shares dropped 1.6 percent.
While JPMorgan’s pretax income rose by $2 billion in the quarter, the company said it effectively paid $240 million less in taxes compared to a year earlier. The bank paid an effective tax rate of 18.3 percent in the quarter, compared with a rate of 22.7 percent a year earlier. Before the changes to tax law, JPMorgan’s effective tax rate averaged in the high 20-percent range.
[Daily Caller] Ace Hardware decided to continue advertising on Laura Ingraham’s Fox News program after initially caving to a boycott targeting the conservative host.
An Ace spokeswoman backtracked Thursday on an April 5 statement the company made, announcing the initial decision to cut advertising from the "Ingraham Angle."
"The information we had at the time of the initial request was incomplete, and we apologize for that," the spokeswoman told The Wrap in an email. The company has not "altered our current media schedule," she said, adding Ace "regularly reviews our media strategy."
Ace was singing a different tune in a statement announcing its initial decision to pull ads. "I can confirm that we do not have any plans to nationally advertise on Ingraham’s show in the future," the same spokeswoman told TheWrap on April 5.
Ace’s decision to reverse course is the first time a company has publicly resumed advertising on Ingraham’s program after cutting loose its support after her comments on Parkland high school shooting survivor David Hogg.
[Tablet] The photos and videos showing dozens of Syrian people and their children suffocating, slumped to the ground, lifeless, after what is likely to be a chemical attack in Douma, east of Damascus, shook the world this past Saturday.
In the meantime, Syria, the same power being accused of carrying the deadly attack, will assume the presidency of the U.N.’s Conference on Disarmament, the forum which produced the treaty banning chemical weapons, opening in Geneva on March 28.
The Geneva-based organization UN Watch was the first to draw the attention of world leaders to the appointment, which is the result of an automatic rotation between member states. Hillel Neuer, the director of the organization, is calling for ambassadors to walk out of the room while their Syrian counterpart Hussam Edin Aala chairs the forum.
"At a time when Syria is gassing its own men, women, and children to death," Neuer said in a statement, "to see Syria heading the body that is supposed to protect these victims will simply shock the conscience of humanity."
Aid groups blamed the Syrian government of Bashar al-Assad for the attack, which reportedly killed at least 40 people. This is far from being the first time chemical weapons have been used in the Syrian Civil War. In 2013 the Syrian army allegedly used nerve gases to attack the population, killing 734 people.
Neuer compared the appointment to "putting a serial rapist in charge of a women’s shelter." The outrage is similar to the one sparked in 2013, after Syria was elected to take part in a UNESCO committee on human rights.
The Syrian envoy is scheduled to preside over the conference through June 24.

The UN is just a supersized version of the Paris climate accords, served with extra evil.

PBMcL, IMNSHO the truth is far more petty:
Imagine that all of the Third World (and 2nd/1st for that matter) kleptocracies are wondering where to send all of the second rate relatives of the ruling thieves. Eureka! Send them to the UN and let them steal some other countries money!
[Claremont Independent] After the Independent reported that event organizers segregated tonight’s pool party at Scripps College, barring white students from attending, the organizers changed their event’s description to allow all students regardless of race at the Claremont Colleges‐a consortium consisting of Scripps College, Pomona College, Harvey Mudd College, Claremont McKenna College, and Pitzer College‐to attend the pool party hosted at the college’s Sallie Tiernan Field House.
In a previous version of the Facebook event description, the organizers made it clear that the pool party was open only to students who identified as persons of color (POC):
"This event is only to 5C [Claremont Colleges] students identifying as POC.
#1
Scripps College President Lara Tiedens sent out the following email to students this afternoon:
“The pool party has been postponed due to concerns about student safety in the wake of numerous phone calls and emails from the public expressing hostility and threatening physical violence.”
Postponed due to 'safety' issues and not because racial segregation is an un-American idea that should have been stomped out in the '70s.
Does this mean race is no longer simply a social construct and is back to being a thing again? It's hard keep up. Maybe I need a safe space to get away from all these whiny-ass self-identified POCs.
Also, is 'POC' pronounced like pock, poke or pook?

Black Culture: Abortions killing black babies, black men killing other black men, single moms in poverty, rap/hiphop music with misogynist and cop-hating lyrics, drugs, crime and incarceration. And they blame Whitey and demand segregation.

"“Most POCs at any of the Claremont Colleges (which are historically PWIs (Predominantly White Institutions)) interact and enjoy interacting with people of all races (obviously including white people), but sometimes it’s nice to have a time to be with people who identify in the same or similar way that you do,” the student said."
You mean like in the workplace? The front of the bus?
Millennials, apparently, look to history as a reparaism punch-list rather than understanding how society's change.

Minor detail not mentioned by the college president? (found on Twitchy):
Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Title VI states, “Schools and colleges that receive federal funds must operate without discriminating when it comes to race, color, and national origin.”

[Telegraph] A radical feminist has been warned by a judge to refer to the transgender defendant as a "she" during an assault case.
Maria Maclachlan, 61, was giving evidence against Tara Wolf, 26, whom she claims tried to attack her at a rally, knocking her to the floor.
...District Judge Kenneth Grant warned Ms MacLachlan to refer to Miss Wolf as "she" while giving evidence.
He said: "The defendant wished to be referred to as a woman, so perhaps you could refer to her as 'she' for the purpose of the proceedings."
Ms MacLachlan replied: "I'm used to thinking of this person who is a male as male."
The row was the latest in an ongoing battle between Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminists (TERFs), who believe that transwomen should not be given the same rights as those born female, and transgender activists. Every sh*t that happens in USA happens first in Britain?
[FoxNews] The downsizing continues apace, oddly enough among the swampliest of the staff — the overly political, who can’t abide the idea of President Trump, and the vile, who are easily caught if only management chooses to look.

The 32 embassy workers fired were mostly Cambodian and Cambodian-American guards and clerical staff. There were no diplomats fired.
Mostly locals. Not much of the in SD crowd. Note well though - They were shared in a Facebook Messenger chat group, Reuters reported. Maybe Facebook needs a Backpage treatment?
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
