January 30, 2025
Eric Swalwell / MSNBC
Democrat Rep. Eric Swalwell (CA) got blasted for making the helicopter-plane collision about himself.
Of course he did.
An American Airlines flight carrying approximately 64 souls collided with a Blackhawk helicopter near Washington D.C. Reagan National Airport (DCA) late Wednesday evening.
The helicopter and plane collided over the Potomac.
The Urgent Call to “Return to Base” & The Chopper’s Strange Movements Make No Sense (VIDEO)
January 30, 2025
Investigators are going to have to look at every possible reason a military Black Hawk Helicopter could crash into an American Airlines passenger jet landing at Reagan Airport in D.C.
The calls from air traffic controllers for the helicopter to “return to base” raise serious concerns over what may have caused this crash.
We even pulled the altitude and flight tracking data that revealed sharp zig-zags and a sudden drop in altitude moments before the crash. Here are the possible reasons behind the disaster:
Mechanical Failure
Air Traffic Control Failure
Human Error
Nefarious Action
Pilot Suicide
Computer Hack
We have the audio of that “return to base” call, as well as the altitude data you have to see and hear to believe.
Ghouls: Democrats Use Airplane Tragedy to Attack President Trump
January 30, 2025
The lights from the helicopter are seen before it collided with an incoming flight at Reagan International Airport in Washington DC.
While the families of those killed in a tragic plane crash last night grapple with the heartbreaking loss of loved ones, Democrats chose a grotesque approach to the tragedy: Blame Trump.
On Wednesday night, American Airlines flight AA5342, carrying approximately 60 passengers, collided with a military Black Hawk helicopter over Washington, D.C., resulting in a crash into the Potomac River near Washington, D.C.
But rather than grieve or put the needs of suffering people first, leftists instead used it as an opportunity to make a partisan, political, ghoulish political attack on President Donald Trump.
Shortly after the crash, while little was known, Phil Williams from NC5 in Nashville, whose X account is filled with leftist talking points, immediately jumped in and took a swipe at Trump saying, “President Trump offered unprecedented buyouts to ALL federal employees at a time when studies show the FAA does NOT have enough air traffic controllers to keep us safe. More people will likely die.”

No matter that the proposed buyouts have not even taken effect. Why let facts get in the way of partisan behavior?
Phil removed his post and put up an explanation which, of course, put the blame on the reader for ‘misunderstanding’ his vile take.
It is clear that the Democrat talking points went out, as many of the vile posts included the same screenshot, including author Bakari Sellers.

Rep. Norma Torres (D-CA) qualified her “prayers” by blaming President Trump.
It only took minutes for CNN anchor Abby Phillip to try to blame the Trump administration.
While bodies were still trapped in their seats, submerged under water, Phillip said, “Mary, I have one more question for you. Look, it’s January 29th, we are just nine days out from a presidential transition and administrative transition the FAA Administrator resigned at the end of the Biden administration. So there is no permanent, confirmed FAA Administrator right now.”
“This is going to be a time where there is a lot of public communication and a lot of investigation of what happened here. What do you anticipate this transition period is going to mean for what happens today and tomorrow and the coming days as we find out what happened here.”
Minutes after the DCA plane crash, CNN anchor Abby Phillip is already trying to blame the Trump admin for the crash.
Today, pilots, flight attendants, businesspeople, and military personnel will board planes and helicopters to do their jobs and take care of their families.
For the foreseeable future, those who love and depend on them will worry each day when they say their goodbyes.
This morning, other families woke up to face the tragic reality of the loss they are facing.
But to the ghouls on the left, nothing matters more than swiping at a political opponent, especially if it is Donald Trump.
BOOM! Kash Patel Fires Warning Shot at Pelosi During Senate Confirmation Hearing – Lays Blame for J6 Rioting Directly at the Feet of Nancy Pelosi (VIDEO)
January 30, 2025
Kash Patel fires a warning shot at Nancy Pelosi at Senate confirmation hearing.
Watch out, Nancy. Accountability is coming!
Senator Ted Cruz questioned Kash Patel on Thursday during his confirmation hearing in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee on Nancy Pelosi’s refusal to protect the US Capitol on January 6, 2021.
Finally, the truth is coming out!
Senator Ted Cruz: What were you doing on that day?
Kash Patel: On that day, specifically, responding to, preparing to mobilize and employ the National Guard once we got the lawful request from the local governing authority, which was the mayor of DC and the speaker of the House.
Senator Ted Cruz: Now, how many days in advance were you working to prepare the Department of Defense to help secure the Capitol on January sixth?
Kash Patel: Days in advance, Senator, we were in the oval office on an unrelated national security matter with the President of the United States, the Secretary of Defense, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and myself and the President authorized up to 20,000 plus National Guard men and women to secure any security measures necessarily related to the capital. We were moving to the fullest extent of the law before the requisite request came from a local governing authority days ahead of time.
Ted Cruz: While you were Chief of Staff at DOD, how many times did DOD approach Capitol Police and ask if they needed National Guard assistance?
Kash Patel: I believe those letters are well-documented numerous instances, and numerous of those instances, those requests were shut down.
Ted Cruz: Now, am I correct that the Capital Sergeant at Arms said assistance was unnecessary?
Kash Patel: That’s correct, Senator.
Ted Cruz: Who did the Sergeant at Arms report to?
Kash Patel: The speaker of the House.
Ted Cruz: That would have been Nancy Pelosi at the time. Is that correct?
Kash Patel: Yes, Senator.
Ted Cruz: Would that also be Chuck Schumer, then the Senate Majority Leader?
Kash Patel: The Sergeant at Arms, yes, Senator, reports up there.
Ted Cruz: Did Mayor Bowser, the Democrat elected mayor in DC, either request or allow National Guard assistance?
Kash Patel: She put in writing on the days leading up to January sixth, a declination for National Guard additional support, and that letter is available publicly to the world.
Ted Cruz: Just to speak English for folks at home, a declination meant she said, no, don’t send National Guard. Is that right? Kash Patel:
Ted Cruz: Yes sir.
Here’s the video of the exchange.
As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, former Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Washington DC Mayor Muriel Bowser were both warned about the security situation prior to January 6th and both of them turned down National Guard troops at the US Capitol that day.
Pelosi and Mayor Muriel Bowser turned down thousands of National Guard troops at the Capitol on January 6 for political reasons.
Chris Wray’s FBI also refused to notify the Trump administration and his cabinet secretaries that they believed there could be violence like the mass protests at the Capitol that took place that day.
Nancy Pelosi also refused the National Guard at the US Capitol due to “politics,” but that is just her excuse. What did she know in advance?
Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund previously testified that he asked House and Senate security officials for permission to request that the D.C. National Guard be placed on standby in case he needed quick backup. But they both turned him down.
On Monday night Chief Steven Sund responded to the video released earlier on Monday by the Oversight Subcommittee.
Officer Sund slammed Pelosi for her statement on J6 for the cameras saying she was “surprised” the National Guard was not at the US Capitol after she denied President Trump’s request to have National Guard at the Capitol that day!
Officer Steven Sund: Pelosi was surprised we didn’t have National Guard on Jan6?? I was denied National Guard support multiple times before January 6, and repeatedly for 71 minutes ON January 6. MY STORY HASN’T CHANGED!
Pelosi was surprised we didn’t have National Guard on Jan6?? I was denied National Guard support multiple times before January 6, and repeatedly for 71 minutes ON January 6.

Local DC Reporter RIPPED For Asking Distraught Husband to Show Plane Crash Victim Wife’s Last Text Messages (VIDEO)
January 30, 2025
WUSA9 reporter asks distraught husband to show his last texts to plane crash victim wife
A local DC reporter is facing intense backlash after interviewing a distraught husband and asking him to show his victim wife’s last text messages.
Hamaad Raza was waiting for his wife to arrive at Reagan Airport on Wednesday evening, but she never made it.
As reported earlier, an American Airlines flight carrying approximately 64 souls collided with a Blackhawk helicopter near Washington D.C. Reagan National Airport (DCA) late Wednesday evening.
The helicopter and plane collided over the Potomac.
A video from the Kennedy Center webcam captured the explosion in the air.
The reporter got blasted for asking a man who was clearly in shock to show the last messages he sent to his plane crash victim wife.
.@wusa9 needs a new reporter on the ground NOW that can handle this moment. To ask this man to see that text message is disgusting and beyond the pale. https://t.co/hB9tt3vmau
I think the media takes a lot of unwarranted criticism, but the local media interviewing a man clearly in shock at Reagan airport last night and asking to see the last text message on his phone from his wife who was on the downed plane feels extremely gross.
It’s incredibly heartless for a reporter to intrude on a man who’s just lost his wife in the Washington, D.C. #planecrash, let alone to ask to see her final text messages
The heartless reporter who asked to see the text messages of the husband waiting to see if his wife was pulled alive from the river is Larry Miller, @wusa9‘s anchor on the scene.
