Maybe not her best pose but she's one of my all-time favorites. Old Ginger Rogers movies are always fun to watch. She had this...attitude and a certain way of carrying herself. Maybe that was from all the dancing. More, please.

[FoxNews] The violence forced thousands to flee, with some reportedly hiding in the nearby mountains
More than 80 people were killed in the country’s northeast over the weekend following the government's failed attempts to hold peace talks with the National Liberation Army, a Colombian official said.
Twenty others were injured in the violence that has forced thousands to flee as Colombia's army scrambled to evacuate people on Sunday, according to William Villamizar, governor of North Santander, where many of the killings took place.
Among the victims are community leader Carmelo Guerrero and seven people who sought to sign a peace deal, according to a report that a government ombudsman agency released late Saturday.
Officials said the attacks happened in several towns located in the Catatumbo region near the border with Venezuela, with at least three people who were part of the peace talks being kidnapped.
Thousands of people are fleeing the area, with some hiding in the nearby lush mountains or seeking help at government shelters.
"We were caught in the crossfire," said Juan Gutiérrez, who fled with his family to a temporary shelter in Tibú after they were forced to leave behind their animals and belongings. "We had no time to grab our things. ... I hope the government remembers us. ... We are helpless here."
Colombia’s army rescued dozens of people on Sunday, including a family and their pet dog, whose owner held a pack of cold water against the animal’s chest to keep it cool as they evacuated by helicopter.
Defense Minister Iván Velásquez traveled to the northeast town of Cúcuta on Sunday where he held several security meetings and urged armed groups to demobilize.
"The priority is to save lives and guarantee the security of communities," he said. "We have deployed our troops throughout the entire region."
Officials also prepared to send 10 tons of food and hygiene kits for approximately 5,000 people in the communities of Ocaña and Tibú, the majority of them having fled the violence.
"Catatumbo needs help," Villamizar said in a public address on Saturday. "Boys, girls, young people, teenagers, entire families are showing up with nothing, riding trucks, dump trucks, motorcycles, whatever they can, on foot, to avoid being victims of this confrontation."
The attack comes after Colombia suspended peace talks with the National Liberation Army,
… Marxist-Leninist liberation theology guerrilla group established in Columbia in the 1960s that expanded into Venezuela. In Columbia they’re a revolutionary narco gang with political aspirations (I know, right?) fighting for territory against other narco gangs, while in neighbouring Venezuela they’re a paramilitary supporting the Maduro government. It is currently estimated to be about 6,000 members …
or ELN, on Friday, the second time it has done so in less than a year.
Colombia’s government has demanded that the ELN cease all attacks and allow authorities to enter the region and provide humanitarian aid.
"Displacement is killing us here in the region," said José Trinidad, a municipal official for the town of Convención, located in the North Santander region. "We're afraid the crisis will worsen."
Trinidad called on insurgent groups to sit down and hammer out a new agreement so "us civilians don't have to suffer the consequences that we're suffering right now."
The ELN has been clashing in Catatumbo with former members of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC, a guerrilla group that disbanded after signing a peace deal in 2016 with Colombia's government. The two are fighting over control of a strategic border region that has coca leaf plantations.
In a statement Saturday, the ELN said it had warned former FARC members that if they "continued attacking the population ... there was no other way out than armed confrontation." The ELN has accused ex-FARC rebels of several killings in the area, including the Jan. 15 slaying of a couple and their 9-month-old baby.
Army commander Gen. Luis Emilio Cardozo Santamaría said Saturday that authorities were reinforcing a humanitarian corridor between Tibú and Cúcuta for the safe passage of those forced to flee their homes. He said special urban troops also were deployed to municipal capitals "where there are risks and a lot of fear."
The ELN has tried to negotiate a peace deal with the administration of President Gustavo Petro five times, with talks failing after bouts of violence. ELN demands include that it be recognized as a political rebel organization, which critics have said is risky.

Continue marching until you get to Dover. It's only 23 miles.
[FrankfuerterAlgemeineZeitung] Violence escalated again at the Friedrich Bergius School in Berlin on Wednesday. A seventh-grader was allegedly chased by dozens of youths with knives. "We'll stab you," they are said to have shouted.
There was another violent incident at the Friedrich Bergius School in Berlin on Wednesday. A seventh-grader had to flee to a supermarket because he was being "chased" by 50 to 90 predominantly male youths from another school with knives, baseball bats and brass knuckles, according to a letter from the school.
During the pursuit, shouts were heard, "We're going to stab you," reported one parent. The hunt for the seventh-grader was preceded by a "threatening situation" against a ninth-grader (apparently a relative of the seventh-grader who was later pursued) during class time. The school administration then called the police , who only showed up with four officers and requested reinforcements.
A girl claimed that the ninth-grader had hit her, and a student from another school then threatened to "stab" the boy. The girl's boyfriend is said to have mobilized these students. The ninth-grader was taken to safety by the police, and the seventh-grader who was related to him was then pursued. The school administration also reported that the school had received a threatening letter in Arabic.
DISPUTES AT THE BEGINNING OF THE WEEK
On Thursday, the school was guarded by the police to prevent similar excesses of violence. A police spokesman reported that there had been disputes at the school at the beginning of the week. On Wednesday, people from outside the school gathered in front of the school "to sort things out," which is why the police were called. According to the police, there was a complaint of assault.
Back in November, the teaching staff of the integrated secondary school had already drawn attention to problems with aggressive, violent and educationally disadvantaged students in an open letter. There was a "threatening propensity for violence and verbal attacks", especially on the part of the male students. Firecrackers were set off in the schoolyard, and students were afraid of being filmed on mobile phones in the toilets. In addition, filled plastic bottles had been thrown at teachers and students, the teachers wrote in the letter at the time and called for help from the school authorities.
[DM] University of Washington Turning Point USA event was shut down after a woke flash mob brandishing placards disrupted the talk.
The school's chapter of the conservative nonprofit hosted Olivia Krolczyk for a speech on 'the threat of the trans agenda' on Tuesday.
Krolczyk is a Riley Gaines Center Ambassador and gained notoriety when she posted a viral TikTok about her University of Cincinnati professor who failed her for using the term 'biological women' in a paper.
Rowdy protesters gathered outside Thomson Hall around 6pm and started dancing in unison - just as Krolczyk's speech was set to begin. The fire alarm was pulled inside the building shortly after.
A video showed the group dancing in a flash mob style, wearing shirts that said 'Thank God I'm Trans' and holding posters stating, 'Come Dance With Us. Celebrate Trans Joy.'
Telling her followers about the ordeal, Krolczyk said: 'Hundreds of students, including ANTIFA, actually showed up to protest. They essentially shut down the road that the building was on.
Not just a spontaneous, grassroots event, but a formal ANTIFA black bloc action, no doubt with professional outside organizers.
'They blocked all of the entrance and exit points so we could not get in or out of the building, pulled the fire alarm, set off some other alarm... we could not leave the building.
'There was graffiti all over the building. They broke the windows, threw the noise makers in, had lights, were yelling, were in my face.'
Muslim students all over the US are outraged and cry “Islamophobia” after president Trump signed an executive order allowing the deportation of foreign students who express support for Muslim terrorists of Hamas or Hezbollah!

The question that concerns me: Is Sharia compatible with US Constitution?
The erstwhile MB regime in Egypt didn't think so which is why they openly and officially demanded a Sharia compatible legal reform in the US & the West (@ 5:20).
This outrageous demand however elicited zero outrage emboldening these elements further.

#1 you write, "They come here as a guest of the US Citizens, to get a better education."
For at least thirty years the Muslim Students Association has led the anti-American movement in the USA. If the FBI were doing its job the MSA would have been closed down long ago.

Not stop, BrerRabbit — start. They’re low-hanging fruit: here on a temporary visa with strict rules that they’ve broken with their “activism”. No serious connections to the broader community who’d get upset about them being sent away, and family and governments at the other end willing to receive them back.
Also, it’s a small move with a huge impact — with them gone, campus agitation will calm quickly.
[NYPOST] President Trump's long-promised ICE raids continued on Thursday — as the total number of illegal migrants colonists nabbed by federal authorities reached 538, including new arrests of pedophiles, gang members, and a suspected terrorist in New York.
US Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers are scouring cities and states, trying to round up illegal aliens who are either wanted for crimes in their home country or who have committed crimes during their time in the US.
A source told The Post that many of the migrants colonists rounded up by agents were convicted in ''some very heinous cases.''
ICE's crackdown spanned several states — including a controversial raid on a Newark, NJ, business in which agents failed to provide a warrant for the search and temporarily detained a military veteran without cause, Newark Mayor Ras Baraka alleged.
However,
ars longa, vita brevis... the day was marked by successful apprehensions of various pervs and perps including five men convicted of sexual crimes against children, a suspected terrorist, smugglers, and alleged murderers.
ICE New York apprehended Gokhan Adriguzel, a 30-year-old Turkish national who is a “known or suspected terrorist,” according to a release from the agency.

The list of arrestees at the link is very heartening. Today we are all considerably safer than we were yesterday, and tomorrow we will be safer still.
Several American Hikers were shot at yesterday in Southern California near the Community of Jacumba Hot Springs, by suspected Cartel Smugglers who had recently crossed the U.S-Mexican Border, guiding a Group of Illegal Immigrants through the Mountains.

I believe the unknown shooters were given a stern talking to by Border Patrol.

So if anybody asks, this is why we need the military on the border. If the Border Patrol is to continue to exist, it should be made another branch of the military, greatly expanded, placed under control of the Pentagon and given enough weapons and equipment to do the job properly. Otherwise, eliminate the Border Patrol and let the Army handle it.

[GEO.TV] Gaza's Civil Defence says 162 bodies have been recovered in the enclave since the implementation of the ceasefire, reported Al Jazeera.
Civil defence crews and residents continue their search for the bodies of Palestinians still buried under the rubble, hampered by the lack of heavy equipment and machinery. The heart [belch!] burns bleeds.

And here I thought Zionist bombs evaporate bodies.
[GEO.TV] A Palestinian official said hundreds of people began leaving their homes in a flashpoint area of the occupied West Bank on Thursday as Israeli forces pressed a deadly operation.
The Israeli military launched the raid in the Jenin area days into a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said the objective of the operation, dubbed "Iron Wall", is to "eradicate" Hamas in the area.
He linked the operation to a broader strategy of countering Iran "wherever it sends its arms — in Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, Yemen" and the West Bank.

Hamas publishes list naming 4 female hostages it plans to release next
Hamas has published the names of four female Israeli hostages it is set to release Saturday, but Israel has asked the media not to release the names until their families have been notified, according to The Times of Israel.
The list of names are an apparent violation of the cease-fire agreement, The Times of Israel reported.
It wasn’t clear what the specific violation was, but under the agreement, female civilians were to be released first, then female soldiers.
