Near Reagan Airport

Original Article

Posted By: ladydawgfan, 5/3/2025 10:32:48 AM

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy blasted an aviation incident near Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport involving an Army helicopter, just months after a midair collision in the same area killed 67 people. On Thursday, two passenger jets were forced to abort their landings at the airport because of an Army Black Hawk helicopter taking a "scenic route around the Pentagon." Reagan National airport has been in the spotlight ever since the catastrophic crash of an Army Black Hawk helicopter and a regional passenger jet killed 67 people in January and set off a wave of investigations. According to the email written Friday by Chris Senn, FAA’s assistant administrator for government and industry affairs,

I thought Hegseth and Duffy discontinued those training runs while traffic was leaving/arriving at Reagan. If the General wants to take a joy ride, do it at 3 am.

Sounds like there needs to be some "stand-down time" for the ATC personnel and for that Army Aviation Company Leadership operating in that area.

Ground and demote the pilot. Ask them if they truly want to remain in the military.

One would think MILITARY Aircraft of all types would fly in and out of Andrews Air Force Base. That way there is NO chance of these idiots crashing into landing Aircraft at Reagan!!! Pardon me, this is too simple, one has to wonder what the REAL AGENDA IS!

this airport has a terrible record - Duffy needs to make a tough decision soonest. a delay to do so may cost more lives and him this job.

I agree with what most here are saying in one way or another. Sean Duffy, if you mean what you say, that this is “unacceptable,” then we expect to hear immediate tough decisions made such as what #4,5,6 recommend here. Hegseth and Duffy better be on this THIS WEEK with a presser and tough leadership demonstrated by both men. Tough talk will not do without corresponding consequences meted out for the screwups.

Biological male swimmer Ana Caldas absolutely dominated in the women’s races at the U.S. Masters Swimming Spring National Championship in Texas. The races, which took place last weekend, saw 47-year-old Ana Caldas wipe the floor in the 45-49 category of five races, including the 100-yard individual medley, the 50- and 100-yard breaststroke, and the freestyle. This quickly sparked outrage on social media, where Libs of TikTok and others remarked on the “insanity” of the situation.

The White House shared a Star Wars, May 4th Day image with an immigration message calling those who oppose the president’s policies “radical left lunatics” who are fighting to bring dangerous criminals back into the U.S. The post also featured a bulked-up image of Trump holding a light saber and surrounded by U.S. flags and eagles. “Happy May the 4th to all, including the Radical Left Lunatics who are fighting so hard to to bring Sith Lords, Murderers, Drug Lords, Dangerous Prisoners, & well known MS-13 Gang Members, back into our Galaxy. You’re not the Rebellion—you’re the Empire,” the message states. It concludes, “May the 4th be with you.”

After Democrats accused ICE of raiding the wrong house and terrorizing a U.S. citizen family in Oklahoma, the Department of Homeland Security fired back, beginning their official statement on X with a blunt response: “Wrong.” What actually happened was that ICE conducted a lawful, court-authorized search targeting a property long tied to a human smuggling network, not specific individuals. Surveillance conducted the day before the raid confirmed that a member of the Lima Lopez Transnational Criminal Organization was still paying utility bills at the home, which remained legally owned by an indicted smuggling suspect. The warrant, based on an 84-page affidavit, authorized the seizure of evidence regardless of who was present.

Actor Sean Penn is the latest Hollywood celebrity to melt down over Donald Trump. In a podcast appearance with former CNN host Jim Acosta and California Rep. Eric Swalwell, Penn suggested that Trump may “destroy the world” before his presidency is finished. Here is a transcript of the exchange: ACOSTA: Bukele needs to be told, like, there are going to be other administrations that are going to come in here that are not going to look too kindly on this. What you’re doing down there. SWALWELL: Jim, Bukele should be told that, the law firms that are caving should be told that, the colleges that are cave in should be told that.

Big, If True: Barrasso Predicts Senate

Senate Majority Whip John Barrasso (R-WY) joined Maria Bartiromo on "Sunday Morning Futures" to discuss the efforts of congressional Republicans to pass President Donald Trump's agenda. It was a wide-ranging discussion, covering the first (and next) 100 days, Democrats' efforts to thwart the successes of the administration — and Republicans — and tariffs. But the key moments, in my view, came when Bartiromo pressed Barrasso on proposed spending cuts in the reconciliation package. House Republicans have proposed roughly $1.5 trillion in cuts, and the concern is that Senate Republicans won't be able to meet that.

Let’s just get this out of the way: $2.00 gas isn’t a fantasy. It’s not a fairytale. It’s not even a MAGA fever dream. It’s a freight train with Trump at the throttle and a full tank of American energy roaring down the tracks. Naturally, this week the usual suspects freaked out. President Trump had the audacity to suggest—on social media, no less—that we’re on the verge of $2 gas. Cue the blue-check meltdown: “Disinformation!” “It’s impossible!” “He’s lying!” But here’s the problem with that narrative: he’s not wrong. Let’s check the scoreboard, shall we? On May 3, 2025, the national average for a gallon of regular gas was $3.17.

When President Trump returned to the White House, he didn’t just get to work cleaning up Joe Biden’s mess—he set his sights on dismantling decades of entrenched bureaucratic bloat, waste, and corruption. With a relentless series of executive orders and policy directives, Trump reignited his mission to drain the swamp—this time with laser precision and zero patience for the status quo. Predictably, the left went into full-blown panic mode. Liberal legal groups immediately launched a barrage of lawsuits, cherry-picking friendly courts in a shameless attempt to stall Trump’s agenda. They’re terrified of losing control over the bloated regulatory state

Like most of us, I suppose, the shock to our system and way of life during the government’s response to COVID-19 cannot easily be forgotten. It was our taste of ill-considered government tyranny, a public-health disaster. As more information about its origins and how the disease was handled is revealed, it always gets my attention. In sum, banking on helping defeat Trump, the public-health establishment and media suppressed more credible options for dealing with a disease which was not life-threatening to most in order to promote a vaccine then in the works. The vaccine when it was developed and administered was not terribly effective and has itself caused substantial injury.

Garnished tax returns, Social Security payments and even wages will all be fair game on May 5 after a five-year pause on severe financial consequences that began during the economic upheaval of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Trump administration has made clear no additional debt forgiveness will be offered to borrowers as congressional Republicans look to revamp the student loan repayment system.

An Army Black Hawk helicopter caused two near-misses with airliners at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport last week — including passing as little as 200 feet from one jet — after the pilot took “the scenic route” to the Pentagon, according to authorities. The terrifying incident at one of America’s most crowded airports comes three months after the same kind of Army chopper from the same unit was involved in a mid-air collision with an American Airlines jet, killing 67 people. Officials and politicians were quick to blast the Army for the incident — with Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy calling it “unacceptable.”
