Two Dead and 18 Injured After Plane Crashes Into California Building

/1 Comment/in , /by

A small plane crashed into a commercial building and started a fire in Southern California on Thursday, killing two people and injuring 18.

The flight-tracking website FlightAware shows a four-seat, single-engine aircraft crashed about a minute after takeoff, but it is unknown what type of plane it was or whether those injured were in the aircraft or on the ground, according to a Fullerton, California, police spokesperson.

Police received a report about the crash at around 2:09 p.m. local time, and firefighters fought the fire that erupted after the plane struck the building’s roof. The fire damaged the warehouse, which appeared to contain sewing machines and textile stock. The building was used by Michael Nicholas Designs, a furniture upholstery manufacturer, according to a sign on a door.

Ten people were hospitalized, and eight were treated at the scene and released. The police spokeswoman, Kristy Wells, said there were two confirmed deaths.

Security camera footage shows the plane hitting the building and exploding. The crash happened after the aircraft took off from Fullerton Municipal Airport, a small airport with two runways and a helipad. The cause of the crash is still being investigated.

Trump Calls America ‘Disaster,’ Laughingstock ‘All Over the World’

/3 Comments/in , /by

President-elect Donald Trump slammed America’s direction as a “disaster,” blaming the open borders and poor leadership.

“Our Country is a disaster, a laughing stock all over the World! This is what happens when you have OPEN BORDERS, with weak, ineffective and virtually nonexistent leadership,” he wrote in a Truth Social post in the early hours Thursday.

“The DOJ, FBI, and Democrat state and local prosecutors have not done their job. They are incompetent and corrupt, having spent all of their waking hours unlawfully attacking their political opponent, ME, rather than focusing on protecting Americans from the outside and inside violent SCUM that has infiltrated all aspects of our government, and our Nation itself,” he said.

The post comes after the first day of the new year saw terror attacks in New Orleans and Las Vegas.

A Texas Army veteran, Shamsud-Din Bahar Jabbar, drove into a crowd on Louisiana’s Bourbon Street on Wednesday, killing at least 15 people. He died in a shootout with police shortly after. The FBI said an ISIS flag was found on the back of the truck. (Read more from “Trump Calls America ‘Disaster,’ Laughingstock ‘All Over the World’” HERE)

/1 Comment/in , /by

President-elect Donald Trump plans to celebrate the start of his second term a day early by throwing a rally in Washington, D.C., the day before he is sworn in to office.

According to a sign-up page on a website for the Trump Vance Inaugural Committee, the event will begin at 3 p.m. on January 19, 2025. Trump will take the oath of office at the Capitol fewer than 24 hours later, at noon on January 20.

“Join President Trump at Capital One Arena for a victory rally you’ll never forget!” the sign-up page says.

The Capital One Arena is home to two D.C.-area professional sports teams: the Washington Wizards of the NBA and the Washington Capitals of the NHL. The arena can hold approximately 20,000 people, Newsmax reported.

Tickets can be reserved on a first come, first served basis. However, each registered mobile phone number is limited to two tickets only. (Read more from “News Outlets Grumble as Trump Plans MAGA Rally in DC on Eve of Inauguration Day” HERE)

Did Anyone Catch What Was Odd About Liz Cheney Getting a Presidential Medal?

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Madeline covered this ridiculous news that former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom for her work on the House Select Committee on January 6, the biggest, most transparent political circus in modern political history. It was set up to destroy Donald Trump and the MAGA movement within the Republican Party—it ended up accelerating its takeover of the party. She also reportedly tried to bury evidence that exonerated Trump of the crazy premise that he led an insurrection.

Cheney got booted in her state’s primary. No one cared, with supposed star witnesses being exposed as liars and anti-Trump clowns with zero credibility. Remember the story of Trump trying to hijack the ‘Beast’ so he could get to the Capitol on the day of that little riot? It was false. But is Joe Biden truly picking these people? Some are suggesting no since the man has been AWOL, popping his head out to give a brief statement about the Nola terror attack on New Year’s Day, but he’s back in the bunker.

Las Vegas, and this man is virtually nowhere. Is he in charge? Adam Housley is deeply skeptical about this decision, even if it’s ceremonial, because we know for the entire presidency, most of the policy initiatives of the Biden administration are suspect.

CNN’s National Security Analyst Dropped an Interesting Take About the Tesla Cybertruck Bomber

/2 Comments/in , /by

The suspect who blew up a Tesla Cybertruck outside of the Trump Hotel in Las Vegas has been identified as 37-year-old Matthew Livelsberger of Colorado Springs. According to the US Army, Mr. Livelsberger was on leave from his assignment in Germany. . .

And leave it to CNN to have a national security expert say that we don’t know if Livelsberger was anti-Trump or not:

This bombing occurred within hours of the New Orleans terror attack committed by Shamsud-Din Jabbar, 42, who killed 14 people. He served on the same base as Livelsberger. The incidents were being investigated for connections, but the authorities quickly claimed both as isolated incidents preliminarily. The FBI initially called the Nola attack, which was committed by a man who pledged his allegiance to ISIS, a non-terror incident.

FBI Claims to Disrupt Florida Plot to Attack Pro-Israel Organization

/2 Comments/in , /by

The FBI filed court documents this week accusing Gainesville, Florida, resident Forrest Kendall Pemberton of plotting to attack the South Florida offices of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) with multiple firearms.

Pemberton, 26, was reported missing by his father on December 23. His father, unnamed in police reports, told the Gainesville police department he received a text message from Pemberton advising him to look in the backpack he left in his bedroom.

The backpack proved to contain a “concerning” note that “espoused anti-authority sentiments” and looked disturbingly like a farewell message. Pemberton’s father added that his son had previously “espoused antisemitic views.”

Pemberton’s father said the search history in his son’s browser included various government offices and prominent entities, such as the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), the Social Security Administration (SSA), Blackrock, the World Economic Forum (WEF), and AIPAC. Pemberton’s searches also included information on various assassination methods, including the use of poisons and vehicles as weapons.

Most disturbingly under the circumstances, Pemberton owned several firearms, including two rifles and a pistol, which were missing from his room. His father thought he might have been planning an assault similar to the December 4 murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

NYE Terror: 15 Dead, 30 Injured After Man Rams Truck Into New Orleans Crowd; Suspect Identified as Former US Army Soldier Who Deployed to Afghanistan

/3 Comments/in , /by

By The Blaze. Authorities have identified the now-deceased suspect in the New Year’s Day New Orleans massacre as 42-year-old Shamsud-Din Jabbar of Texas. The FBI has also indicated that agents do not believe Jabbar was acting “solely alone” and are pursuing leads into Jabbar’s friends and associates currently.

Jabbar reportedly served in the Army on active duty from 2007 through 2015 and then in the reserves from 2015 through 2020. He was reportedly a human resources and information technology specialist who deployed once to Afghanistan from February 2009 through January 2010.

Officials are still piecing together information about the attack, but they indicated that they found a series of recordings made by Jabbar that were apparently made while he was driving from his home in Texas to Louisiana, where he committed his heinous crimes. In the videos, Jabbar reportedly talked about his decision to join ISIS and apparently referenced several dreams he had that led him to align with the infamous terror group.

Earlier in the day Wednesday, FBI officials confirmed that Jabbar had an ISIS flag on him at the time of the attack. Although the FBI has now confirmed that this is being investigated as an act of terrorism, the first public statement made by the FBI mysteriously and flatly stated that this was “not a terrorist event.” (Read more from “Suspect in New Orleans Massacre Identified as Former US Army Soldier Who Deployed to Afghanistan” HERE)

NYE Terror: 15 Dead, 30 Injured After Man Rams Truck Into New Orleans Crowd

By Breitbart. The suspect accused of plowing a pickup truck through a crowd on Bourbon Street in New Orleans, killing 15 and injuring at least 30 on New Year’s Day, is named Shamsud-Din Jabbar, according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

The FBI also confirmed that Jabbar, whose identity was first reported by Nola.com, is 42 years old and that he was carrying an Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) flag in the vehicle.

The FBI said in a statement:

The subject has been identified as 42-year-old Shamsud-Din Jabbar, a U.S. citizen from Texas. He was driving a Ford pickup truck, which appears to have been rented, and we are working to confirm how the subject came into possession of the vehicle.

An ISIS flag was located in the vehicle, and the FBI is working to determine the subject’s potential associations and affiliations with terrorist organizations.

Weapons and a potential IED were located in the subject’s vehicle. Other potential IEDs were also located in the French Quarter. The FBI’s special agent bomb technicians are working with our law enforcement partners to determine if any of these devices are viable, and they will work to render those devices safe.

Lightning Strikes Empire State Building, US Capitol Building And Washington Monument On New Year’s Eve

/1 Comment/in , , /by

Almost simultaneously, the Empire State Building, The Washington Monument, and the Capitol Building were all struck by lightning, marking New Year’s Eve on an eventful 2024.

As if divine forces were trying to send a message, these cornerstones of US architecture felt the wrath. Of course, US Americans being what they are, they read into it all immediately. There was no way it could have been a coincidence. It was either a sign from above that the US was on the right path, or it was the beginning of the end.

There is a lot of rumor, speculation, and fear floating around the internet about it. The lightning strikes across the three buildings on New Year’s Eve were just the thing people needed to spice up their night.

World Sits On Razor’s Edge As Biden Quietly Caps Off His Final Year In Office

/2 Comments/in , /by

As President Joe Biden concludes his final year in office and prepares to hand the reins over to Donald Trump, he leaves behind an increasingly unstable world stage.

Tensions in Europe, the Middle East and East Asia have only increased towards the end of 2024, with U.S. adversaries making big moves as Biden quietly fades from the world stage. As Trump takes office, foreign policy fires he will have to contend with include the years-long war in Ukraine, the Israel-Hamas War, the freshly-ignited Syrian civil war and an increasingly aggressive China that’s hellbent on solidifying its position as the U.S.’ greatest adversary, economically and militarily.

“There’s a certain ‘Weekend at Bernie’s’ quality to this entire discussion,” Justin Logan, director of defense and foreign policy studies at the Cato Institute, told the Daily Caller News Foundation. “It’s clear that the President of the United States is not making detailed day-to-day decisions on these issues.”

Despite receiving a whopping $130 billion in U.S. military aid since its conflict with Russia began, Ukraine has so far failed to change the course of the war, with both adversaries trying to make incremental gains in anticipation of Trump taking office, who may force a peace settlement. The Biden administration has expressed little interest in diplomacy with Russia, pouring an additional $2.5 billion to aid Ukraine just as Biden is set to leave office, according to the White House Monday.

“They go to the positions once and if they survive, they never return. They either leave their positions, refuse to go into battle, or try to find a way to leave the army,” a Ukrainian battalion commander told CNN in September on Ukrainian troops morale.
