UPDATE: New Videos of Collision; Jet Flying from Wichita, Kansas Crashes Midair with Blackhawk Carrying 3 Soldiers; 64 People on Downed American Airlines Jet, First US Commercial Plane Crash Since 2009

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?”

Tucker Carlson Makes Bombshell Claim About U.S. Attempt to Kill Putin

The United States attempted to assassinate Vladimir Putin during Joe Biden’s presidency, according to a shocking claim by former Fox News host Tucker Carlson.

Political commentator Carlson, who last year travelled to Moscow for a lengthy sit-down interview with the Russian President – dropped the bombshell allegation during an episode of ‘The Tucker Carlson Show’ with US journalist Matt Taibbi.

‘[Ex-US Secretary of State] Tony Blinken was pushing so hard for a real war, trying to kill Putin, for example – which the Biden administration did, they tried to kill Putin.

‘Yes. Yes, they did. Which is insane,’ Carlson said in his most recent episode, hosted on social media platform X.

Without providing evidence for his claim, Carlson went on to imagine a scenario in which the US was successful.

‘If like [Putin was assassinated]… okay, so who takes over Russia?

Border Agents Report Stunning New Numbers on Illegal Crossings in Just Second Week of Presidency; Dr. Phil Teams Up with Tom Homan, ICE for High-Stakes Takedown of Criminal Illegal Aliens

By Fox News. Less than 600 people crossed illegally into the U.S. from Mexico on Sunday – a stunningly low number since President Donald Trump took office.

Sources tell Fox News that not a single one of the nine sectors received more than 200 crossings on Jan. 26, and the number of daily encounters only reached 582 in total. The Del Rio sector – which is the same sector that would sustain over 4,000 crossings per day during the height of the border crisis in December 2023 – only recorded 60 crossings.

For comparison, the daily number of border encounters during the final days of the Biden White House teetered between 1,200 to 1,400 per day.

The numbers have fallen even further since Jan. 20, and a Fox News Digital exclusive last week found that the numbers dropped sharply. (Read more from “Border Agents Report Stunning New Numbers on Illegal Crossings in Just Second Week of Presidency” HERE)

Dr. Phil Teams Up with Tom Homan, ICE for High-Stakes Takedown of Criminal Illegal Aliens

By Townhall. Dr. Phil McGraw’s cameras were rolling this week as U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) launched a controversial operation targeting illegal immigrants in one of the United State’s biggest sanctuary cities. The former doctor TV host joined President Donald Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan, to carry out deportation efforts in Chicago, where he filmed several arrests, including interrogating a convicted child-sex offender who tried to defend himself being in the U.S. illegally.

“These are known criminals and terrorists. We’re talking about murderers, child traffickers, child rapists. We’re talking about bad actors, both in the countries they’ve come from and since they’ve been here in the United States,” McGraw said as ICE agents carried out Trump’s border orders.

In one scene, McGraw asked the convicted sex offender and internet predator from Thailand, who had been illegally residing in Chicago, if he had been charged with sex crimes with children. In response, the illegal immigrant brushed off the question, saying, “Not really.”

“Not really!?” McGraw shockingly replied.

The illegal alien insisted he had never been deported and that his mother was a U.S. citizen. He recognized McGraw from his television show and frequently dodged the famous psychologist’s questions.

WATCH: ‘Lunatic’ Leftist Threatens to Key Trump Supporters’ Cars at Mexican Restaurants

A leftist TikTok user is threatening to key cars bearing Trump bumper stickers that she spots parked outside Mexican restaurants.

The woman appeared to be upset over President Donald Trump’s mass deportation efforts targeting criminal illegal aliens all over the country, MRC-TV reported on Monday.

“If I pull up to a Mexican restaurant and I see a truck, because let’s face it, it’s gonna be a truck, with a Trump bumper sticker, you’re getting keyed,” the woman wearing glasses said in the clip:

She then threatened further, “I don’t even want to see you at Taco Bell. The only thing you can eat for the rest of your life is plain white bread and mayonnaise. And I know that you were going to eat a lot of that anyway, but that’s all you deserve. You deserve nothing that tastes good for the rest of your life.”

Social media users were quick to share their thoughts on the woman’s message, one person calling her a “Deranged lunatic.”

Divorce Rumors: Barack Obama Spotted at Ritzy Restaurant Without Michelle

Barack Obama was spotted at a ritzy restaurant in D.C. without Michelle Obama this weekend amid divorce rumors.

Obama had dinner at D.C. hotspot Osteria Mozza with Beltway insiders on Saturday and Michelle Obama was notably absent.

The Daily Mail reported:

President Obama was spotted arriving alone to a ritzy new Washington restaurant before he attended Trump’s second inauguration without wife Michelle.

Obama, 63, was met with cheers and applause from onlookers as he arrived at the DC hotspot Osteria Mozza on Saturday.

However, the grinning ex-president appeared unfazed by the absence of his wife of 32 years who also unceremoniously skipped President Carter’s funeral – amid rumors of divorce.

Indeed, Michelle’s no-show from both events comes as a wild flurry of speculation in Hollywood and DC of a blockbuster affair between the charismatic former commander-in-chief and Friends star Jennifer Aniston.

President Throws Down With California Democrat: ‘You Made It So Impossible’

President Donald Trump’s Friday night press conference in Pacific Palisades went off the rails after he went back and forth with Rep. Brad Sherman (D-CA) about state policy on forest management, water, FEMA, and private insurance companies.

Trump landed late Friday afternoon in Los Angeles, where he was greeted by Democratic California Governor Gavin Newsom. Trump and Newsom have traded barbs publicly about this month’s deadly L.A. County wildfires.

While seated next to First Lady Melania Trump and one chair over from L.A. Mayor Karen Bass at Friday’s conference, Trump found another nemesis in Sherman.

The longtime House Democrat had already confronted Trump about making federal aid for devastated communities in the area conditional.

‘Biden Forever’: Illegal Haitian Yells for Joe, Obama as ICE Officers Shove Him Into Squad Car

An illegal Haitian migrant openly praised former Presidents Barack Obama and Joe Biden as Immigration Customs and Enforcement (ICE) agents arrested him in Boston, Massachusetts, for his alleged involvement with a gang.

President Donald Trump’s administration is ramping up its efforts to arrest and deport illegal immigrants, particularly those with lengthy criminal records, and reversed a Biden-era policy that barred Immigration Customs and Enforcement (ICE) from making arrests in schools, churches and other “sensitive locations.” The Haitian migrant who praised Obama and Biden is a gang member with 17 criminal convictions in recent years, Fox News’ Bill Melugin reported Thursday.

“I’m not going back to Haiti,” the man said. “F*ck Trump! You feel me? Yo, Biden forever, bro! Thank Obama for everything he did for me, bro!”

ICE Boston officers confirmed their plan to arrest “extremely violent offenders” in the area and several illegal migrants considered to be threats, including an MS-13 member wanted in El Salvador for aggravated murder, Melugin reported. Officials made eight notable arrests, including an illegal Brazilian national who was wanted for armed robbery, an El Salvadoran national charged locally for rape and an illegal migrant from the Dominican Republic who is charged with deadly assault with a deadly weapon and heroine trafficking.

Acting Department of Homeland Security Secretary Benjamine Huffman said in a Tuesday statement that the reversal of Biden’s programs allows for ICE agents to arrest “criminal aliens,” including rapists and murderers. The current administration reversed another Biden-era policy that allowed for humanitarian parole, which Huffman said allowed “1.5 million migrants to enter our country.” (Read more from “‘Biden Forever’: Illegal Haitian Yells for Joe, Obama as ICE Officers Shove Him Into Squad Car” HERE)

Trump Orders Release of Classified Records on JFK, RFK, and MLK Assassinations

President Donald Trump has signed an executive order declassifying the records surrounding the assassinations of three pivotal figures in American history: President John F. Kennedy, Senator Robert F. Kennedy, and civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

The announcement came via a video shared on X (formerly Twitter), in which Trump was briefed about the executive order before signing it. The order directs the release of files related to the tragic events surrounding the deaths of these iconic figures, promising to bring long-awaited answers to the public.

“That’s a big one, huh?” Trump responded when informed about the magnitude of the decision. “A lot of people are waiting for this— for years, for decades. And everything will be revealed,” he added, expressing the weight of the decision and the anticipation that has surrounded these cases for decades.

The executive order emphasizes that more than five decades after the assassinations, the American public and the families of the victims still do not have full access to all the government’s records regarding the events. “It is in the national interest to finally release all records related to these assassinations without delay,” the order reads. It stresses the importance of transparency and the public’s right to know the truth about these historical tragedies.

Trump had previously promised to release the documents related to these high-profile assassinations, along with other classified records on topics of significant public interest. He had hinted at this declassification as part of his broader effort to “restore transparency and accountability” within the government, a theme he reiterated after signing the order. “We are going to make public remaining records relating to the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, his brother Robert Kennedy, as well as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and other topics of great public interest,” he declared.
