New Video Released of the Collision

__________________________________________

By Breitbart. An airplane has reportedly crashed at Ronald Reagan Airport in Washington, DC, grounding all takeoffs and landings.

Joint Task Force-National Capitol Region media chief Heather Chairez told CNN’s Natasha Bertrand, “We can confirm that the aircraft involved in tonight’s incident was an Army UH-60 helicopter from Bravo Company, 12th Aviation Battalion, out of Davison Army Airfield, Fort Belvoir during a training flight. We are working with local officials and will provide additional information once it becomes available.”

A closeup video published on X shows what appears to be the Black Hawk approaching the CRJ jet from the left of the screen. The faint dot of the helicopter continues to approach and eventually collides with the CRJ. An explosion ensues and both aircraft fall from the sky.

Vice President JD Vance asked for prayers for everyone involved in the collision. “We’re monitoring the situation, but for now let’s hope for the best,” the vice president wrote.

An Air Traffic Control audio posted on X appears to indicate the controller asked the helicopter (PAT-25) if they had the airliner (CRJ) in sight. Moments later, the controller seems to instruct PAT-25 to pass behind the CRJ). The exchange occurs in the opening seconds of this audio. About 30 seconds later, an unknown pilot asks “Tower, did you see that?”

Elon Musk Threatens to Sue ‘Creepy’ Tim Walz for Accusing Him of Nazi Salute; Billionaire’s Mom Urges Lawsuit Against CNN

/2 Comments/in , /by

Elon Musk has threatened to sue Tim Walz after the Minnesota governor said “of course” the billionaire did a Nazi salute at an inauguration rally for President Donald Trump.

Walz declared during an appearance on MSNBC on Tuesday, “We spent three days, you know, them trying to debate that President Musk gave a Nazi salute — of course he did!”‘

Also during his MSNBC appearance, Walz revealed that losing the 2024 election was “pure hell.”

“To the voters, I’m with this, too. Everybody’s fatigued. Trust me, I get it,” Walz told host Rachel Maddow. “It was pure hell, and the disappointment and the frustration, and I’m, you know, soul-searching — what could we have done to make the case? Because we knew this was coming. We knew the implication. And they’re throwing so much at us that we’re fatigued.” . . .

Musk replied to the post on the X social media platform by proclaiming he may bring a lawsuit against the former Democrat vice presidential nominee, “I think I will. Tim Walz is a creepy [clown face emoji].” (Read more from “Elon Musk Threatens to Sue ‘Creepy’ Tim Walz for Accusing Him of Nazi Salute; Billionaire’s Mom Urges Lawsuit Against CNN” HERE)

Trump Hilariously Roasts Joe Biden: ‘He’s Probably Not Listening Right Now Because It’s a Little Late’

/1 Comment/in , /by

Donald Trump tends to take the humorous road rather than the high road, especially when it comes to poking fun at Joe Biden. It’s a trait his supporters typically find hilarious. We all remember when he made at least half the country laugh in the embarrassing debate that resulted in Biden’s ousting when he said, “I really don’t know what he said at the end of that sentence. I don’t think he knows what he said either.”

Then in his inauguration speech last week, Trump pulled no punches, lambasting the Biden regime for its long list of failures — even though Joe Biden and Kamala Harris sat directly behind him, staring daggers into his back.

And by the looks of it, Trump still isn’t done giving his predecessor heat for ushering in an era of economic decline, unapologetic censorship, open borders, and rising crime, nor has he had his fill of cracking jokes about Biden’s mental acuity.

Pat Gray of “Pat Gray Unleashed” plays a recent clip of Trump hilariously ragging on Sleepy Joe again.

USDA Responds to Report That Official Was Escorted From Office After Trump Firing

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The former inspector general of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) was reportedly escorted out of her office Monday after she “refused to comply” with her termination – though the USDA denies that she was forcibly removed.

Phyllis Fong, who has worked for the USDA for 22 years, was fired on Friday, but she reportedly told her colleagues that she planned to continue working. Reuters reported on Wednesday that Fong was removed by security officials and “refused to comply” with her termination.

Before her firing, the government employee said she believed that the newly inaugurated Trump administration was acting improperly by terminating officials so suddenly.

In an email obtained by Reuters, Fong said the Council of the Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency (CIGIE) had “taken the position that these termination notices do not comply with the requirements set out in law and therefore are not effective at this time.”

The USDA, however, denied that security officials were involved in the incident in an email to Fox News Digital on Wednesday night. (Read more from “USDA Responds to Report That Official Was Escorted From Office After Trump Firing” HERE)

Chinese Communist Party Quietly Operates Shadow Justice System In US Cities

/0 Comments/in , /by

China is imposing its justice system on American soil using a web of U.S.-based nonprofits linked to a Chinese Communist Party (CCP) intelligence agency, a Daily Caller News Foundation investigation found.

Located throughout California, the greater Washington, D.C. area, Hawaii, and New York, the network of more than a dozen nonprofits share information with Chinese law enforcement officials, and some also host unsanctioned courtrooms in the U.S., a months-long investigation discovered. Although the Chinese government claims it appoints law enforcement officials overseas in order to more conveniently handle mundane matters like Chinese driver’s license renewal and international divorce cases, U.S. lawmakers and intelligence analysts say China’s underground courts could easily be weaponized to punish dissidents and expand communist influence abroad.

Liu Pengyu, a Chinese Embassy spokesperson, told the DCNF that “Chinese law enforcement agencies conduct foreign law enforcement cooperation strictly in accordance with international law, fully respect foreign laws and judicial sovereignty, and protect the legitimate rights and interests of criminal suspects in accordance with the law.”

However, the DCNF found that not only are all the identified nonprofits led by individuals working with a Chinese intelligence service called the United Front Work Department (UFWD), but some of their leaders have also explicitly discussed forced repatriation operations with Ministry of Public Security (MPS) officials in China. Furthermore, several of the individuals appointed to operate overseas Chinese courts in the U.S. also belong to the nonprofit that ran a Chinese police station in New York, which the Department of Justice (DOJ) found sought to forcibly repatriate individuals back to China.

“The Chinese government’s attempt to impose its repressive legal system on U.S. soil through the CCP’s United Front network is an unacceptable assault on U.S. sovereignty and the rule of law,” Michigan Republican Rep. John Moolenaar told the DCNF. (Read more from “Chinese Communist Party Quietly Operates Shadow Justice System In US Cities” HERE)

Government-Run Healthcare Disaster: 75,000 Dead Because They Were Stuck on Waitlists for Surgeries or Diagnoses

/1 Comment/in , , /by

Some 75,000 people have died over the past few years because they were on waitlists for surgeries or diagnoses, according to a new report.

The report at ZeroHedge said the death count for just 2023-24 was 15,000 Canadians, as patients there “waited years for treatment they never received” or those who “turned to euthanasia due to lack of timely care.” . . .

Canada is one of the nations with a socialized medical program, where treatment is supposed to be free, but in reality it’s turned out the treatment often is rare, or even unobtainable, as the record shows physicians have offered their patients euthanasia instead of treatment. . .

“SecondStreet.org collected the data by filing Freedom of Information (FOI) requests across Canada. When the data collected is extrapolated across jurisdictions which did not provide data, the number actually nearly doubles, to around 28,077. These figures cover everything from cancer treatment and heart operations to cataract surgery and MRI scans,” the report explained.

Harrison Fleming, an official with SecondStreet, said, “Canadians pay really high taxes and yet our health care system is failing when compared to better-performing universal systems in Europe. Thousands of Canadians across the country find themselves on waitlists — in some cases for several years -— with too many tragically dying before ever getting treated, or even diagnosed.” (Read more from “75,000 Dead Because They Were Stuck on Waitlists for Surgeries or Diagnoses” HERE)

Dems Scream ‘Racism,’ but NYC Minorities Cheer Trump’s ICE Raids

/0 Comments/in , /by

While Democrats kick and scream over President Trump’s drive to deport violent criminal illegal migrants, minorities in New York are thrilled that the feds are getting the thugs out of their communities.

Black and Hispanic residents in The Bronx cheered Immigration and Custom Enforcement’s raids Tuesday that ferreted out “asylum seekers” with warrants for vile crimes like murder and kidnapping, and even nabbed a Tren de Aragua ringleader.

Evelyn Brown, an 80-year-old Bronxite, put it succinctly: “Get them the hell out of the street so people don’t have to walk in fear.” . . .

Poor and minority neighborhoods have suffered the most from elite leftists’ insane anti-law-and-order policies, from recidivist crime to illegal immigration.

Take Roosevelt Avenue in Jackson Heights, Queens: The city’s refusal to clear out criminals or cooperate with ICE left a majority Hispanic and Asian neighborhood completely overtaken by prostitutes, drugs and violence, thanks to Tren de Aragua gangbangers waved in by the Biden administration.

Husband Received Text Message From His Wife That She Was Landing Minutes Before Her Flight Crashed — As He Waited at DC Airport

A husband revealed that he received a text from his wife minutes before her American Airlines flight collided with an Army Black Hawk helicopter in Washington, DC.

“I’m just praying that someone is pulling her out of the river right now. That’s all I can pray for,” Hamaad Raza told WUSA from near Reagan National Airport.

Raza was asked when he last spoke to his wife.

“She texted me that they were landing in 20 minutes,” he told the outlet, showing them the messages on his phone.

Raza said he realized something was wrong when his replying messages didn’t “get delivered.”

“That’s when I realized something was up,” he said, pointing down at the undelivered messages on his phone’s screen. (Read more from “Husband Received Text Message From His Wife That She Was Landing Minutes Before Her Flight Crashed — As He Waited at DC Airport” HERE)

Christians Who Opposed Trump Should Examine Their Hearts After His Week Of Big Biblical Wins

/0 Comments/in , /by

Only 10 days into President Donald Trump’s second term it’s abundantly clear that Christians who opposed his presence in the White House and condemned their brethren for supporting it have some repenting to do.

Never Trumpers spent the last decade weaponizing their faith to demonize Christian Trump supporters. By the time the 2024 election rolled around, they had proudly endorsed the radical, openly anti-Christian Joe Biden stand-in for president. According to them, mean tweets and a bad spray tan were far worse than a regime that made a point out of throwing praying grandmas in prison.

Concerns about Trump’s personal conduct 10 years into his entrance to American politics are simply not a legitimate reason to oppose his presidency — especially when juxtaposed with the Biblical wins his presidential actions have brought. Pretending that his penchant for off-the-cuff commentary and history of failed marriages are disqualifying was always a bad argument because most politicians, especially the Biden and Harris families, are the complete opposite of upstanding, moral folks.

Thankfully for the country, Christian and secular voters alike didn’t buy the propaganda. And because Trump won in November, current people of faith and future followers of Christ are better off. Look at his first week back in the White House for proof.

The Republican kicked off his second administration by freeing political prisoners, including the faithful pro-lifers who were thrown in prison for peacefully worshipping and praying at abortion facilities. He followed that with a sweeping executive order condemning and defunding the forced mutilation and sterilization of children.

/0 Comments/in , /by

Los Angeles Dodgers owner Mark Walter plans to donate $100 million to the Southern California wildfire recovery effort.

NBA Hall of Famer Magic Johnson, a part-owner of the Dodgers, announced the donation, which will come through the Walter Family Foundation and the Dodgers Foundation, on Tuesday.

“The LA fires have wreaked havoc on LA’s neighborhoods. It’s time for those with means to come forward and make a positive impact to build back better,” Walter said in a statement.

California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) had “tapped Magic Johnson, Mark Walter, and Casey Wasserman to lead a new private-sector initiative to support wildfire recovery in Los Angeles,” according to Dodgers Nation. . .

“This is a time for bold action,” Magic Johnson said in a statement. “We’re bringing together the best resources and biggest hearts across California to ensure that every Angeleno — no matter their race, socioeconomic status, or neighborhood — has a chance to rebuild and thrive. This isn’t just about recovery; it’s about restoring communities while also making them more resilient and better than before.” (Read more from “Dodgers’ Owner Donates $100M for Fire Recovery Efforts” HERE)
