Yup Pike. Susan Oliver was a quality individual. Intensely afraid to fly so what did she do? Sucked it up and learned to become a pilot and by all means seen, a darn good one.

Army units used heavy artillery and assault forces, destroying several RSF vehicles and inflicting heavy casualties. The militia failed to breach defense lines and retreated to the city’s outskirts.
Sources confirmed Babnusa is now fully under army control, with forces conducting sweep operations across the area.

"Descends?"
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Al-Qaeda-linked Jihadists in Mali have kidnapped and executed a female TikTok star in front of her family after accusing her of filming them and collaborating with the army.
Mariam Cisse, who posted videos about the city of Tonka in the northern Timbuktu region to her 90,000 followers, was shot dead by suspected members of the notorious Jama'at Nasr al-Islam wal-Muslimin (JNIM) terror group in a public square on November 7.
News of her death has shocked the country, which is ruled by a military junta that is struggling to contain the jihadist insurgency that has gripped the country since 2012.
Mali is one of a series of African countries descending into chaos with Sudan torn apart by civil war and a humanitarian crisis and Nigeria ravaged by jihadist violence in its restive northeast.
'My sister was arrested Thursday [November 6] by the jihadists,' Mariam's brother said, claiming the Al-Qaeda affliate had accused her of 'informing the Malian army of their movements'.
Mariam, known for publicly supporting the army by wearing their uniforms in her videos, was reportedly taken out of the city from a local fair by several armed men.
She was livestreaming her day at the fair at the time of her kidnapping.
The following day, they took her on a motorbike to Tonka, where she was shot in Independence Square, a significant landmark in the city, her brother said, adding that he was forced to watch from the crowd.
Mariam largely posted comedic and lighthearted videos that focused on social issues and the perils of living in an unstable country.
A security source said: 'Mariam Cisse has been assassinated in a public square in Tonka by jihadists who accused her of having filmed them for the Malian army.'
The source, speaking on condition of anonymity, called it a 'barbaric' act.
A local official also confirmed the execution, denouncing it as an 'ignoble act' and adding that the terrorists carried out the attack to discourage Malians from publicly supporting government forces.
The military junta is struggling to contain the long-running jihadist insurgency.
In recent weeks, fighters from JNIM, the Al-Qaeda-linked Group for the Support of Islam and Muslims, have imposed a fuel blockade that has forced the government to close schools and prevented harvesting in several regions.
JNIM is the most influential jihadist group in Mali and the 'most significant threat in the Sahel', according to the United Nations.
It wants to implement Sharia law and is acting to delegitimize Sahelian states - at both the military and political level - by positioning itself as a more credible alternative.
It indirectly governs villages via agreements tailored to different localities, claiming in its propaganda to be defending the local populations.
In recent months, JNIM has expanded its influence over a large swathe of territory - how much is not yet clear - funding itself through tax collection and kidnap for ransom.
Last week JNIM obtained 'at least $50 million' for the release of two Emirati hostages and their Iranian employee, AFP learned from sources close to the negotiations.
For Sambe, the jihadists' 'strategic objective' with their blockade is to 'bring down the regime'.
And one European security source told AFP that JNIM 'wants to overthrow the junta and install a government with which it can negotiate, which it can force to implement its agenda'.
It has forced the government to close schools, prevented harvesting in several regions and limited access to electricity.
Last week, President Assimi Goita called on citizens to do their part, particularly by reducing unnecessary travel, while promising to 'do everything possible to deliver fuel'.
For Alioune Tine, formerly the UN's independent expert on the human rights situation in Mali, the leader's statement was a 'terrible admission of failure'.
The ruling military junta, which seized power in back-to-back coups in 2020 and 2021, had promised to stem the jihadist expansion that has plagued the country for more than a decade.
It broke ties with former western military allies, including France, partnering instead with Russian paramilitaries to fight the jihadists.
But 'the Malian state no longer controls anything' within its territory, Bakary Sambe from the Dakar-based Timbuktu Institute think tank said. Instead, he said, it 'is concentrating its forces around Bamako to secure the regime'.
And the population's initial support for the junta 'is beginning to erode in the face of the military regime's inability to keep its security promise', he added.
Faced with the deteriorating situation, the United States and United Kingdom announced they were withdrawing non-essential personnel from Mali at the end of October.
Several other embassies, including most recently France on Friday, have asked their citizens to leave the country.
JNIM claimed killing 'at least' 48 Malian soldiers and injuring 100 others in the attack against the Soumpi Malian army base, and capturing a military vehicle and weapons. https://t.co/iPu2qurthOpic.twitter.com/M0ptHkybCQ
IS-Sahel sent large reinforcements of 600-700 fighters this morning towards Dori, Burkina Faso, likely from Tillaberi, Niger, it's unclear what their final destination will be: reinforce the Arbinda front or go south towards Sebba and open a second front against JNIM/the army. https://t.co/Dmv3xCJsZt

It would have the same effect as when we used Columbia's military to fight the cartels down there. None, except getting rid of a few for more to take over.

Considering presidente's recent comments, even money they are going to make sure civilians don't get any ideas.

… carrying narcotics, and were transiting along a known narco-trafficking transit route in the Eastern Pacific.
Both strikes were conducted in international waters and 3 male narco-terrorists were aboard each vessel. All 6 were killed. No U.S. forces were harmed.
Under President Trump, we are protecting the homeland and killing these cartel terrorists who wish to harm our country and its people.
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] A day of violent armed rioting at a prison in southwest Ecuador on Sunday led to the deaths of at least 31 inmates, the country's prisons agency said.
Twenty-seven prisoners in port town Machala died due to asphyxiation and 'immediate death by hanging,' according to a statement shared on X by the SNAI prisons agency. There were no other details about how the prisoners died. So...Natural Causes™ ?
Authorities said they were still working to 'fully clarify the facts,' and forensic medical personnel were on site to verify information.
Earlier Sunday, SNAI reported that four people had been killed due to the deadly rioting, which was later brought under control by tactical police.
The incident broke out around 3:00am (0800 GMT) at the prison, where local residents recalled hearing gunfire, explosions, and cries for help coming from inside the prison's walls. Elite police teams entered the prison immediately and regained control after the riot broke out, the agency said. But it did not specify the identities of the deceased or confirm whether the violence was another case of inter-gang fighting.
Four people died in the morning violence, while 33 inmates and one police officer were injured, SNAI said. That riot was prompted by a reorganisation of the prisoners in a new maximum security facility, the statement said.
Ecuadoran prisons have become operational centers for rival drug-trafficking gangs, with over 500 inmates killed in fighting between groups competing to control the lucrative but illegal trade. They are now considered the 'epicenter' of the country's organised crime, according to a 2024 report by Insight Crime think tank.
President Daniel Noboa's administration, which has pledged to take a tough stance on crime, blames the violence on rival gangs battling for dominance and territorial control.
In September, a riot caused by gang fighting in the same prison left 14 people dead and another 14 wounded. In that incident, prisoners used guns and explosives and an unknown number escaped. Some were recaptured.
Days later, another 17 people were killed in a prison riot in the northern city of Esmeraldas, near the border with Colombia. Bloody fighting broke out in a prison in the troubled coastal city, where police said they found 10 dead prisoners in two cell blocks. Images of the aftermath shared on social media and verified by AFP showed dead men sprawled on the ground with bare, blood-stained torsos, at least two of them decapitated.
Dozens of worried family members gathered outside the prison for news of their loved ones as the SNAI prison authority raised the official toll from 10 to 17 within a few hours.
'There are women here who have been asking after their relatives since 5:30am,' an anguished woman, who asked not to be named, told AFP at the time.
She herself rushed to the prison after receiving a call from people who live nearby and told her 'they heard the shooting, they heard the screams'.
When she arrived, she said, soldiers told her to go to the morgue to check if her loved one was dead or alive.
Since February 2021, gang wars have largely played out inside the country's prisons, where inmates have often been killed in gruesome fashion - their bodies dismembered and burnt. Ecuador's biggest prison massacre also took place in 2021, when more than 100 inmates were killed in the port city of Guayaquil in the southwest.
Inmates have on more than one occasion gone live on social media to broadcast their violent campaigns, showing off the decapitated and charred bodies of their enemies.
Last year, gang members took scores of prison guards hostage after the jailbreak of narco boss Jose Adolfo Macias, known as Fito, while allies on the outside detonated bombs and held a television presenter at gunpoint live on air.
Nestled between Peru and Colombia, the world's two largest cocaine producers, Ecuador has become a major hub for the global cocaine trade. More than 70 per cent of all cocaine produced in the world now passes through Ecuador's ports, according to government data.
The tiny country of some 18 million people has become engulfed in violence in the past few years and is now one of the most dangerous places in Latin America. The roots of this crisis 'can be traced directly to the country's prison system and the criminal networks that have evolved inside of it,' Insight Crime found.
[IsraelTimes] French magistrates are investigating the ex-girlfriend of a man jailed for the deadly November 13, 2015, Paris attacks over an alleged jihadist plot, prosecutors say.
But Salah Abdeslam himself was not involved in any plot, the national anti-terror prosecutor’s office (PNAT) says. "Bitch set me up!"
The probe comes as France prepares to mark the 10th anniversary of the Islamic State group’s attacks in and around Paris, which killed 130 people and wounded hundreds more. Abdeslam was sentenced to life in jail in 2022, after nine fellow attackers blew themselves up or were killed by police.
On 13. November a team of twenty, half jacketwallahs, roamed Paris killing and injuring more in the Bataclan concert hall, various cafés, and the national stadium.
Magistrates opened a probe after finding several discussions or internet searches linked to a “plot for violent action” on electronic devices found at the home of Maeva B, the PNAT says. The woman, who has been in custody since Tuesday, exhibited “clear radicalization and a fascination for jihad,” the PNAT says. Local broadcaster RTL reports she is 27 years old.
Her home was searched as part of another investigation into USB devices handed to Abdeslam in detention in December last year and this January, it adds.
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] An event to honor Charlie Kirk erupted into chaos on Monday afternoon when a violent brawl broke out between an Antifa protester and a Trump supporter at UC Berkeley.
The confrontation, which happened outside Zellerbach Hall, was captured on multiple videos now circulating online, leaving one man bloodied and two people under arrest as police struggled to control a crowd that grew increasingly hostile.
The melee unfolded on the two-month anniversary of Kirk's assassination and transformed what had been billed as a solemn conclusion to TPUSA's 'This Is The Turning Point' tour into a volatile street battle.
As hundreds of Kirk supporters lined up outside the venue, protesters gathered nearby, some wearing keffiyehs and black clothing, many chanting 'No Trump, no KKK, no fascist USA.'
Others hurled obscene taunts aimed directly at the conservative crowd, shouting 'antisemites, go home' and 'f*** your dead homie,' in reference to Kirk.
Shortly after 4:30pm, a scuffle broke out near Bancroft Way between a man selling 'Freedom' memorial T-shirts and a masked protester.
Cell phone footage shows the pair grappling as onlookers shout out.
The Trump supporter bleeding heavily from the face, continued shouting as Berkeley police officers moved in to separate the men.
At one point a police officer could be seen using his bike to separate the men, using it like a riot shield.
'I was gay until Charlie Kirk showed me the way!' the vendor yelled defiantly as officers handcuffed both combatants.
A Berkeley Police Department spokesperson confirmed two arrests, one on suspicion of battery, though details of the second arrest remain unclear.
Berkeley police, campus security, and California Highway Patrol officers rapidly deployed around the area.
Witnesses told Berkeleyside how officers donning helmets and face shields while forming barricades as several Antifa members attempted to 'de-arrest' their comrade.
Private security teams screened attendees at the entrance, while UCPD officers armed with pepper ball launchers positioned themselves between the protesters and the entrance to Zellerbach Hall.
By 7pm, three arrests had been made in total - two by Berkeley police and one by campus officers, according to university officials.
'This is what they want - they want to see fights,' one protester was heard telling another, pleading for restraint.
Despite the clashes outside, the event inside went ahead under heavy guard, headlined by Christian apologist Dr. Frank Turek and comedian Rob Schneider - both of whom were close allies of Kirk.
In an interview with Fox News before the event, Dr. Frank Turek reflected on Kirk's legacy and the symbolism of ending the tour at UC Berkeley, long considered a stronghold of left-wing activism.
'If I could go to any one event with him, it would be that one,' Turek said. 'I wanted to go to UC Berkeley because it is so progressive and liberal in their views, and I wanted to provide evidence that Christianity was indeed true.'
Kirk had originally planned to lead the tour finale himself with his trademark 'Prove Me Wrong' debates - informal confrontations where he sparred directly with students.
Following his assassination at a Utah Valley University event on September 10, TPUSA restructured the tour around his message and legacy.
For Kirk's followers, many of whom traveled hours to attend, the clashes only underscored the depth of division on America's campuses.
'We came here because Charlie inspired us,' said attendee Ella Klosek, who drove five hours from Santa Maria.
She said Kirk's religious teachings rather than his politics drew her to his work.
'His message about traditional family values, about what it means to be a godly husband or wife - that's what stuck with me.'
Inside the packed auditorium, the program opened with a tribute video featuring Kirk's past speeches about courage, faith, and the fight for free expression.

[Regnum] The death toll from the car bombing in the Indian capital, New Delhi, has risen to 13, NDTV reported on November 10, citing police.
The explosion occurred in the evening near the historic Red Fort. A large number of people were present at the scene at the time of the explosion, complicating evacuation. Traffic in the area was temporarily restricted.
The National Investigation Agency (NIA) and the National Security Guard are involved in the investigation. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed his condolences to the families of the victims and wished a speedy recovery to the injured.
According to the TV channel, all the wounded were taken to the hospital. New Delhi has been placed on high alert following the explosion.
Previously, 24 people were reported injured. The Russian Embassy in India is investigating whether any Russians are among the victims.

[IsraelTimes] Police say officers shot an assailant who opened fire on them in the southern West Bank, near the Beit Hagai settlement.

[IsraelTimes] Police say 27-year-old resident of Tel Aviv reached out to Iranian entities via social media and offered to work on their behalf, was arrested with 18 SIM cards "Personal use, Man!"
A Tel Aviv resident has been arrested on suspicion of spying for Iran, police said Monday, the latest in a string of Israelis who have been recruited by the Islamic Theocratic Republic to carry out activities against the state.
According to a joint statement from the Israel Police and the Shin Bet, the suspect was the one who reached out to Iranian entities via social media and offered to work for them in exchange for payment.
He was arrested by police on Thursday and held in detention until Monday, when he was ordered released by the Tel Aviv Magistrate’s Court.
The suspect, identified by law enforcement only as a 27-year-old resident of Tel Aviv, photographed a number of locales around the city, as well as the site of an Iranian missile impact on Jabotinsky Street in Ramat Gan, where a high-rise building was hit on June 19 during the 12-day Iran-Israel war.
Other locations he photographed included the Tel Aviv Museum and the Abramovitz Park in the north of the city, police said. In exchange for his activity, the suspect received several thousand shekels transferred to him in cryptocurrency, according to the statement.
Police said that during his arrest, the suspect’s home was searched and cops seized 18 SIM cards that he allegedly used to communicate with his Iranian handlers, as well as other "digital evidence."
The latest case announced on Monday comes together with dozens of similar incidents of Israelis spying on behalf of Iran ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate JewsZionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol... over the past year, with law enforcement still working to crack down on the phenomenon.
Last week, charges were filed against a resident of Tiberias, Yosef Ein-Eli, who was suspected of passing on information to Iranian agents about tourist sites around Israel. He was also asked to gather intelligence on National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, various crime families in Israel, and unspecified IDF soldiers.
Prosecutors also filed charges last month against IDF reservist Maor Kringel, 27, and his associate Tal Amram, accusing them of spying for Iran over the course of months. Kringel received a request to assassinate his commanding officer for NIS 100,000 ($30,000), but he did not follow through, the indictment noted.
Since a November 2024 ceasefire in Lebanon, the IDF says it has killed over 330 Hezbollah operatives in strikes, hit hundreds of Hezbollah sites, and conducted over 1,000 raids and other small ground operations in the south of the country in response to violations by the terror group.
In recent weeks, the IDF appears to have stepped up the rate of attacks on Hezbollah.
The strikes follow reports from Lebanese media of a wave of Israeli air attacks across southern Lebanon.
According to the military, the operations were guided by the Military Intelligence Directorate and carried out with the air force under the Northern Command.
The IDF says the strikes were aimed at neutralizing weapons directed at Israel and preventing Hezbollah from rebuilding its terror infrastructure.
The army adds that the presence of such facilities violates the understandings between Israel and Lebanon and pledges to continue acting to eliminate threats.
In south Lebanon, the IDF says it struck a site previously used by Hezbollah to launch rockets, where activity by the terror group was detected in recent months.
In the Nabatieh area, the IDF says it struck several more Hezbollah targets. And in the Beqaa Valley, the military says it targeted infrastructure at a site used by the terror group to store and manufacture strategic weapons.
The site in the Beqaa Valley has been struck by the IDF several times in the past.
IDF says latest airstrikes in south Lebanon killed three Hezbollah operatives
[IsraelTimes] The IDF says it killed three Hezbollah operatives in separate strikes across southern Lebanon over the past 24 hours, following the announcement of a wave of airstrikes on Hezbollah targets in the region and the Beqaa Valley earlier today.
According to the military, one of those killed was Samir Ali Fakih, a Hezbollah member involved in smuggling weapons for the terror group across Lebanon. He was targeted in an airstrike in Srifa, southern Lebanon.
Two additional Hezbollah operatives were killed yesterday in Houmine El Faouqa and as-Sawana, also in southern Lebanon.
The IDF says a total of 15 Hezbollah operatives have been killed since the beginning of November, adding that their activities posed a threat to Israel and violated the understandings between Israel and Lebanon.
The military says it will continue operating to “eliminate any threat against the State of Israel.”
Soldiers of the 769th “Hiram” Regional Brigade operated in the southern Lebanon border town of Houla late Monday to destroy the buildings, according to the IDF.
In a separate ground operation last month, the IDF says it located and neutralized several explosive devices that had been stored in the same buildings.
