The White House went up in flames after this top Democrat switched parties

0

The Democrat Party is bleeding members. Their agenda just isn’t sitting well with their members anymore.

And the White House went up in flames after this top Democrat switched parties.

The problem with the Democrats is that they keep pushing the envelope further and further Left.

And if you don’t accept the liberal orthodoxy of the day, you’ll be labelled everything from a bigot to a domestic terrorist.

This clear cut dividing line has send many in the party packing for greener pastures.

Republicans can add another one to their ranks after today.

Democrats were dealt another blow this week as another state legislator announced his departure from the party.

According to The Advocate, a Louisiana-based daily, state Rep. Jeremy LaCombe announced on Monday that he was leaving the Democratic Party and would be registering as a Republican.

It was unclear what caused LaCombe’s defection, but he is now the second Louisiana Democrat to switch parties in less than a month, and the third overall after another state senator in North Carolina did the same.

Last month, Louisiana state Rep. Francis Thompson switched parties, giving Republicans a supermajority in the state House, and earlier this month, North Carolina state Rep. Tricia Cotham switched parties, giving Republicans a supermajority in the state House as well.

According to a recent Fox News poll, President Biden has a near-record low approval rating among key groups, including women (43% now vs. 42% low), voters ages 45+ (41% vs. 39% low), suburban voters (41% vs. 39% low), rural voters (31% vs. 30% low), and Democrats (81% vs. 78% low), with Democratic men in particular (79% vs. 78% low).

Biden likewise has a poor approval rating of 41% among suburban women.

Furthermore, according to a another poll, only one-third of Americans feel Biden deserves to be re-elected in 2024.

This comes on the heels of Joe Biden giving a half announcement of running for a second term.

President Biden announced on Monday that he is “planning on” running for re-election next year but is not yet ready to launch his campaign.

Mr. Biden’s 2024 ambitions have been a source of speculation for months, with top aides covertly planning a campaign. Yet, the president has not made a final decision.

NBC News’ Al Roker asked Mr. Biden at the White House Easter egg roll if he wanted to stay in the White House after 2024.

“I’m planning on running, Al,” Mr. Biden said. “But we’re not prepared to announce it yet.”

Joe Biden nearly fainted when he got this awful news

There’s an impostor in the Biden administration. The entire White House is in total panic mode.

And Joe Biden nearly fainted when he got this awful news from the NSA.

The Biden administration is currently dealing with a major intelligence leak that has the federal government in quite the frenzy.

Sensitive, highly classified documents and materials concerning U.S. allies like Israel and Ukraine as well as Egypt have been leaking to the public for about a month now.

The U.S. federal government has started to look inwards to find the source of the leak, as the latest belief is that the leaker likely came from within the U.S. federal government with a high level security clearance.

NBC news, which has received copies of more than 50 of the classified documents in question, says that a majority of them have the “TOP SECRET” label that means they are the most classified documents anyone can get their hands on.

The Biden administration Coordinator for Strategic Communications with the National Security Council (NSA) John Kirby recently shared with the media that Joe Biden has been briefed about this intelligence leak issue.

He says that the Department of Justice has launched an investigation but that he’s not aware of any conclusions at this time.

“… the Department of Defense has referred this to the Department of Justice for a criminal investigation, and I certainly would refer you to them, but I’m not aware that they’ve come to any conclusions at this point about where they’re coming from,” John Kirby said at a White House press briefing.

What’s even worse is that when Kirby was asked if the Biden administration has any idea about whether the leaks will stop or will continue, Kirby said they “don’t know.”

“We don’t know. We truly don’t know,” he said.

It’s certainly concerning that Kirby said the Biden administration has basically no idea about how these leaks are happening in the first place.

“TOP SECRET” document leaks don’t just happen every day and there’s a very select few individuals who get access to these documents.

A CBS White House correspondent, Weijia Jang, proceeded to ask Kirby if Joe Biden believes that now is a good time to reconsider the security clearance protocols.

“When was the last time the protocol to grant security clearances was updated or revised in the government, and in light of the leaks, does the president believe he should take another look at that?” Jang asked of Kirby.

Kirby responded saying that the Department of Defense has “started to look” at that, but that the Biden administration isn’t making any significant changes at this time.

Jang even asked Kirby if it’s possible that the leak was intentional by someone with access to the classified documents.

“Are you saying there’s a question of whether this was a leak by someone who had access to the materials?” Jang inquired.

Kirby just answered that they “don’t know” at this time.

It certainly seems possible that this was an intentional leak by someone within the Biden executive branch. If so, they would be dealing with an impostor situation where they have no idea how to find out who is the wolf in sheep’s clothing.

Joe Biden makes shocking 2024 announcement

President Biden has raised eyebrows by his refusal to announce his reelection campaign. It has made many question whether he’ll run at all.

And Joe Biden just made a shocking 2024 announcement.

Biden’s poll numbers are in the garbage.

Only one third of the nations thinks he deserves a second term as president according to a recent CNN poll.

And more than half of Democrats would like to see someone else clinch the Democratic nomination in 2024.

With signs only pointing to the fall of Joe Biden’s presidency, many in the media have been asking the question everyone wants to know the answer to: will Joe Biden run for a second term?

Unfortunately, Biden has played his cards close to the chest – but he’s finally opening up.

President Joe Biden indicated on Monday that he intends to run for reelection but is “not prepared” to make the announcement.

“I plan on running, Al, but we’re not prepared to announce it yet,” Biden told NBC’s Al Roker for a short Today interview at the White House Easter egg roll on Monday.

As the president teased about attending up to six more Easter egg rolls at the White House, Biden responded to Roker’s request to “help a brother out” by making some news and addressing if he would be “taking part” in the 2024 race.

Biden, who has yet to officially launch his reelection bid, has been quietly preparing for another statement, but the clock appears to be shrinking.

Advisors initially suggested that the president would make his announcement around the time of the State of the Union address in February, and first lady Jill Biden even told the Associated Press that the president would run for another term and that there’s “pretty much” nothing else to do but figure out a time and place to make the announcement.

But, according to a recent source, he may wait until the fall to announce his candidacy.

Because campaigns must publish fundraising figures every quarter, campaigns can gain a fundraising advantage by announcing it at the start of the quarter.

In this manner, a candidate has three months to demonstrate their fundraising prowess. Nevertheless, by delaying, Biden leaves potential staffers, who must make their own arrangements, in the dark.

Additionally, over the weekend, Axios reported that the White House would rely on a “army” of online “influencers” for his reelection campaign to “boost Biden’s standing among young voters who are crucial to Democrats’ success in elections” and will be used to counter former President Donald Trump’s “massive social media following” if he is the nominee.

So far, Marianne Williamson, an author and “spiritual thought leader” who campaigned for president as a Democrat in 2020, has expressed her intention to seek for the Democratic nomination, while Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has proclaimed his intention to oppose Biden in 2024.

CNN confirms devastating Joe Biden news

Joe Biden’s advancing age was going to be a problem at some point. That time has come.

And CNN just confirmed the devastating Joe Biden news.

The likelihood of President Joseph Biden being reelected has been seriously questioned by recent polling.

Just one-third of Americans believe that the Democrat should be given another term in office, and some of Joe Biden’s most ardent supporters are now dissatisfied with his job performance.

In a CNN poll conducted on Thursday, a staggering 67% of respondents said that Biden, who is 80 years old, doesn’t deserve to be re-elected in 2024.

John King of CNN was open about the lack of interest in a second term for Biden.

In an interview with David Chalian of the leftist network, King remarked, “The numbers are beyond sobering for President Biden.”

The president considerably underperforms in terms of his approval ratings when it comes to crucial political issues like immigration (35%) and the economy (37%), while Biden retains a middling overall approval rating of 42%.

Only 26% of those under the age of 35 believe that Biden deserves a second term in office; these are appalling percentages among a group that Democrats have relied on for voting participation.

Even the majority of Democrats favor having a second nominee for their party.

According to the study, 54% of Democrats or independents leaning Democratic want someone other than Biden.

Nevertheless, party members don’t seem to be able to think of a viable replacement for the career politician.

No other Democrat in the poll garnered the backing of more than 5% of Democratic voters, potentially locking the party into keeping the president in office.

If Biden were to win re-election, he would significantly extend his lead for the title of oldest president in American history.

At the time of his inauguration, Biden was 78 years old, making him older than his oldest predecessor, Ronald Reagan, who left office in 1989 at the age of 77.

Even though he has expressed his readiness and overall purpose to run, Biden has not yet made a definitive decision regarding the possibility of a re-election effort.

Biden would outlive his nearest predecessor by roughly ten years if he were to complete a second term as president, retiring at age 86.

Major Democrat makes shocking accusation against Republicans

0

Democrats have it out for conservatives. They’ll stoop to any low to make sure they fall.

And a major Democrat made a shocking accusation against Republicans.

Last week, Democrat politicians in Tennessee took over the State Capitol to scream and cry about gun control.

They opened the doors and facilitated a mob of protestors to enter the Capitol, bringing legislation to a stand still.

If this was done by Republicans, the Left would say this is an insurrection.

Even worse, it’s treason at the highest form and the politicians ought to be tried and barred from public office forever.

But since it’s Democrats, they say it was a peaceful protest.

However, the Tennessee legislature voted to expel two of the three Democrats who helped plan the disruption.

And now the Left is crying racism, yet again.

CNN anchor Don Lemon said Friday on “CNN This Morning” that Tennessee Republicans who expelled two black lawmakers over a gun violence protest inside the state capitol did so because of “racism.”

Lemon said, “Look, it’s. They could have done a censure. Right. I think the right question was, why take the most drastic action afterwards? This is exactly what our country was built on. On protesting. Not everyone — protests aren’t perfect,” Lemon said.

If protests aren’t perfect then why didn’t they give a pass to the January 6th protestors at Capitol Hill?

Despite this discrepancy, Lemon went on.

“It’s also unconscious bias. It’s racism. It’s a double standard in our society. Obviously, I don’t have to say. I doubt they would have done this to white members because guess what? They didn’t. They did it to the two black members. And especially the two black men. It’s like usually, especially with something like this, the way people think about black men in this society needs to really be examined, especially with protests, especially with how we express ourselves.”

Could it be that individual people did their own actions and deserve their own unique punishments?

No, of course not! It must be the specter of racism!

Lemon then continued on a rambling rant about how there are two representatives named Justin who were expelled.

If you look at the member there, the guy with the afro, right? He’s very outspoken. Justin Pearson. Right. I just, I just wanted to be clear because there are two Justins. I just wanted to be clear because he has the afro. Too militant or whatever you want to call him, outspoken. But that’s how he that’s his way of expressing himself. And it doesn’t mean that he’s being rude or boisterous or whatever. He’s expressing himself, and that’s how he feels. And the other guy is a more subdued, and he’s going to be on, the other, Justin, I should say, because there are two Justins. And that’s why I keep saying Justin Jones. That’s the way he expresses himself.

Did you follow that? We didn’t either.

Lemon then concluded by repeating that there is no other explanation than racism for the two black representatives being expelled.

“And so I think that we really need to think about the double standard in the society. You may want to call it an unconscious bias. It’s racism. It’s exactly that’s all that it is. And what they were trying to do is something that was good for the country and for Tennessee and for the country. And they ended up with the worst outcome.”

Nancy Pelosi may never recover from this shocking attack at a town hall

0

Former House Speaker Pelosi has been a leading Democrat for decades. But that all came to an abrupt end.

And Nancy Pelosi may never recover from this shocking attack at a town hall.

The Democrats have a leadership problem.

Most of the establishment leaders of the party are aging out of their posts – just take a look at Nancy Pelosi, Joe Biden, and Chuck Schumer.

With all of those years of experience comes either a history of failures or successes.

And unfortunately for Nancy Pelosi, her career has been marred with failure after failure.

Hecklers at a local town hall made sure she’ll never forget that fact.

Several hecklers interrupted Rep. Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA) speech with economist Paul Krugman, accusing her of being a “war criminal” and a “sad old drunk.”

On Monday evening, Pelosi and Krugman appeared at The City University of New York’s Graduate Center. Yet, Pelosi’s address was interrupted four times by hecklers. The hecklers yelled at Pelosi about foreign policy and corruption.

One heckler said Pelosi belonged in the “hellholes.”

“You know Pelosi, that’s a very good place for you in the depths of hell,” the heckler screamed as she was removed from the event.

“For some reason, you have a very bad obsession of getting us into war. Hey, why is it that you did not admit that there were no WMDs in Iraq?

“You lied us into a war in Iraq. You got us to invade Afghanistan. Now over 90 percent of those people are impoverished and are dying,” the heckler continued. “Why don’t you tell the truth about Nordstream?”

According to a video released on Twitter, Pelosi’s supporters in the audience were heard booing the heckler.

“Why did we destroy Nordstream? You’re leaving millions of Germans without energy,” the heckler continued. “People like you should be arrested, you are a war criminal!”

Once security removed one heckler, another stood up and resumed the yelling.

“Hey congresswoman, I came to see a warmonger but you’re a sad old drunk! What happened? When you went to Taiwan, were you looking for Ukraine? Did we blow up the Nordstream on accident or on purpose?” The man shouted. “Did you know about that? … You’re a war criminal by definition Ms. Pelosi. You got some nerve.”

“You goddam war criminal! How many people have died in your f***ing name?” the heckler added.

After that, two more hecklers stood up but were soon removed by security.

Ron DeSantis has Joe Biden freaking out because of one poll

Joe Biden and the Democrats are trying to carve their path to victory for 2024. That’s what the Trump indictments are all about.

But Ron DeSantis has Joe Biden freaking out because of this one poll.

The American people can see the Trump indictments for what they really are: a politically-motivated move to get Trump out of the 2024 picture.

Their scheme may not even work as there’s no legal precedence for being able to charge a former President they way they are, especially with the statute of limitation in mind.

But even if the Democrats succeed, they have a new problem that is not going away anytime at all that has Joe Biden sweating bullets.

A new poll that just came out this week shows that Trump may not be the biggest opponent for the Democrats over the next several years.

A Mason-Dixon poll of Florida voters has indicated that Ron DeSantis is leading Donald Trump in a hypothetical primary match-up.

The results were fairly close, but Ron DeSantis had a statistically five point significant lead over Trump at 44-39%.

The poll also found that DeSantis is more popular among Republican voters in Florida by about sixteen points with DeSantis getting a favorability rating of 87% compared to 71%.

According to the poll:

Even among regular Republican primary voters, DeSantis is significantly more popular than Trump. Among GOP voters, DeSantis’s favorable recognition is 87%, compared to 71% for Trump. Trump’s negatives with Republicans (19%) are almost triple those of DeSantis (7%).

It’s noteworthy that as far as the hypothetical match-up goes, the study carries a 4 point margin of error either way, which does make up the majority of DeSantis’s five point lead.

Yet, the study does show that it is statistically probable that, at least in Florida, Ron DeSantis would edge out Trump during the primary.

How the rest of the Republican primaries would go is anyone’s guess, but Florida is one of the most important states to win for a Republican seeking the Presidential nomination.

What’s more important here than the fact that Ron DeSantis and Donald Trump would be in a very close race against each other in the Republican primaries is that Joe Biden and the Democrats shouldn’t be so quick to assume their troubles are gone if Trump is out of the picture.

Even if Trump was found to be convicted, which many legal experts are saying is unlikely to say the least, Ron DeSantis would be waiting in the wings with a campaign that’s just as powerful as Trump’s, if not more.

We all know Joe Biden’s approval ratings are down in the tubes. The two biggest factors of Presidential re-electability have always been approval rating and the state of the economy.

If you combine that with two other major factors in Ron DeSantis having a very high approval rating and the reality that the economy is struggling, and Joe Biden is going to have a tough time being re-elected in 2024.

Joe Biden makes sick joke, and no one’s laughing

0

President Biden is a gaffe machine. It’s like he’s never been let out in public before.

And Joe Biden made a sick joke, and no one’s laughing.

With all eyes on Donald Trump as he’s arrested and indicted on 34 felony charges, many in America have forgotten about Joe Biden.

But just when Biden thought he could get away with a lie, conservatives jumped on him.

President Joe Biden frequently uses Twitter to boast about his achievements while in office, particularly in the area of the economy. But when he made a similar boast on April 1, things took a turn for the worse, and critics immediately dismissed it as an April Fools Day hoax.

Biden started off by asserting that the economy was in a mess when he came office, as he has done on several occasions. He omitted, however, that COVID regulations were to blame for many Americans’ unemployment as well as the closure of numerous small businesses.

“When I took office, the economy was reeling. Hundreds of thousands of small businesses had closed – and millions of Americans had lost their jobs,” Biden tweeted. “We got relief to small businesses fast to jumpstart the strongest recovery of any major economy in the world.”

Biden’s tweet was sent on April 1st, and a lot of detractors quickly seized on this coincidence to claim that it was a joke.

“I love a good April Fool’s joke,” the U.S. Ministry of Truth tweeted in response.

The president’s Twitter account received praise from Doug Powers for sharing “the best April Fool joke” of the day.

Others merely pointed out the inaccuracies in Biden’s remarks, highlighting the context that was absent (specifically, the forced lockdowns and closures brought on by COVID), and contended that the economy would have stabilized once things opened whether or not Biden had taken any action.

“Small businesses were closed and people lost their jobs by mandate. The small relief program the SBA put forth under your admin was sued for discrimination, and promised funds were pulled from them last minute in a disgraceful maneuver. Otherwise, great tweet,” Carol Roth tweeted.

“When you took office, inflation was at 1.4% and gas was $2.39/gal. Today, inflation is at 6% and gas is $3.50/gal. Real wages have fallen for 23 straight months. The list goes on and on and on,” Jake Schneider added.

Twitter’s Community Notes even fact-checked the president, noting that the missing context actually made a big difference.

“Context is needed to remind readers that President Biden took office in January 2021, amid the COVID-19 pandemic, which had started to spread early in 2020, causing significant business closings and job loss,” one of the noted read.

Top lawyer releases stunning statement about Trump indictment

0

Many political talking heads are weighing in on the Trump fiasco. But none as big as this one.

Because a top lawyer just released a stunning statement about the Trump indictment.

Americans are watching with bated breath to see how the Donald Trump indictment situation plays out over the next several weeks.

Of course, Trump has his enemies who are saying he’s just being “held accountable” for his actions.

Meanwhile, many conservatives have been coming out in support of Trump calling the indictments from the Manhattan grand jury a sham and an attack on our justice system to target Trump.

You may be curious what a respected lawyer and constitutional scholar thinks about the Manhattan DA’s actions, because ultimately, this will be a battle played out in the legal space rather than a purely political one.

Such a lawyer has in fact now weighed in, and his answer doesn’t look good for the Democrats.

Mark Levin is one of the most well-respected constitutional scholars and lawyers in the nation, and that includes his colleagues who disagree with him politically.

Levin weighed in on the Trump indictment situation saying that the attempts to indict Trump were a “war” on conservatism. He also said that the Manhattan DA should be “disbarred.”

Appearing on Fox News with Sean Hannity, Levin said that this is the time for conservatives and the Republican party to come together to fight the Democrat Party’s nonsense.

“Every Republican in the country, every conservative in the country — I don’t care what kind of conservative you are — we must circle the wagons and defeat the Democrat Party,” Levin said on Fox News.

“… this is a battle where the Democrat Party has now dragged the country into tyranny,” Levin added.

Levin continued on, saying that the Democrat Party is the party of “Pravda”, which was the official newspaper for the communists in Soviet Russia.

“Now, they want to decide who the Republican nominee for president will be,” Levin ranted. “The Democrat Party is the party of Pravda, it’s the party of Stalin.”

Then Levin argued that Alvin Bragg, the New York County D.A., should be held accountable for this injustice and “disbarred” altogether so they can never use their legal status to target anyone else unfairly ever again.

“Their D.A.s are out of control. Alvin Bragg should be disbarred. Rather than wringing our hands, let’s take some action.”

Lastly, Levin noted that the reason this is ultimately happening is because it benefits Joe Biden and the Democrats in the 2024 election because Trump is the leading candidate.

Joe Biden is an extremely vulnerable incumbent with awful approval ratings and he could very well lose to Trump in a 2024 rematch.

“The only person this benefits doesn’t benefit justice, it benefits Joe Biden. That’s it,” Levin finished.

Terrifying plot against a conservative uncovered

0

The world is going to hell in a hand basket. And the Left is spearheading it all.

And a terrifying plot against a conservative uncovered.

The Left will use political violence whenever they find it politically useful.

Back during the BLM riots, they acted as if the rioters had no other option than to burn down cities and loot.

But when January 6th happened, they claimed that conservatives were instigating an insurrection to take over the government.

Their rhetoric is dangerous and putting everyone’s lives at risk.

And this conservative found that out the hard way.

Alfred Ferrara, 59, of Cleveland, and Mary Schroeder, 67, of Hudson, Ohio, were charged with resisting arrest, inciting terror, and criminal trespass after threatening to shoot up a restaurant where Steve Bannon was presenting his talk program on Tuesday.

According to WKBN News, after threatening Bannon, the two drove away and smashed their car into a nearby sewer plant, becoming entangled in human waste and various raw filth.

According to WFML News, the two headed to the Original Roadhouse in East Palestine, where Bannon was recording his show, and Ferrara threatened to “get his gun and shoot up the place.” 

According to police, Ferrara was escorted from the premises by a security team.

Ferrara is then said to have fled in a car driven by Schroeder, who later drove the car into a solids-holding tank at the sewer plant, submerging it.

Ferrara was able to exit the vehicle, but Schroeder, who was inebriated, was trapped inside and was later liberated by cops.

Ferrara was discovered hiding behind a building and resisted arrest, according to WFMJ. 

While authorities were arresting Ferrara, Schroeder allegedly talked back to the policemen and became stuck in human feces, which required police to get her out before they arrested her as well.

Ferrara was released on bond after pleading not guilty to inciting panic, trespassing, disrupting public business, and resisting arrest.

Schroeder was released on bond after pleading not guilty to trespassing.

They are currently being held at the Columbiana County Prison.

East Palestine, Ohio is the American town dealing with the fallout from a Norfolk Southern 50-car train wreck on February 3 that spilled dangerous chemicals into the community.

Ron DeSantis has huge news for Donald Trump that changes his future

0

Donald Trump has been poking fun at Ron DeSantis for months now. But he might want to extend an olive branch.

Because Ron DeSantis has huge news for Donald Trump that could change his life.

Almost everyone in the conservative circles came out in support of Donald Trump against the sham indictments that the Manhattan DA office brought against the former President.

Everyone can see that this is injustice on display that the Democrats have been behind all along.

Even one of Donald Trump’s likely opponents in the 2024 Republican primary cycle, Ron DeSantis, has said that the indictments are garbage.

But he’s also made something else very clear that could help Donald Trump legally. So Trump may want to change his tune about Ron DeSantis very quickly.

Ron DeSantis took to Twitter to make known the fact that he thinks the way the Democrats are using the justice system to attack their political opponents is simply wrong.

“The weaponization of the legal system to advance a political agenda turns the rule of law on its head,” DeSantis wrote. “It is un-American,” he added.

DeSantis went on to say that the Manhattan DA is “bending” and “stretching” the law to get what he wants for his political agenda.

“The Soros-backed Manhattan District Attorney has consistently bent the law to downgrade felonies and to excuse criminal misconduct. Yet, now he is stretching the law to target a political opponent.”

Finally but critically, DeSantis said that Florida would “not assist in an extradition request” for Donald Trump from the Manhattan District Attorney.

“Florida will not assist in an extradition request given the questionable circumstances at issue with this Soros-backed Manhattan prosecutor and his political agenda,” DeSantis said.

This could be a pretty important friendship for Donald Trump should he seek protection from the Democrats who are obviously bypassing the rule of law to get what they want.

Some outlets have reported that Trump will be turning himself in for an arraignment on Tuesday of next week, so it’s unlikely that DeSantis will even have to deny an extradition request.

But this does signal that Ron DeSantis is more interested in seeing justice served here for Donald Trump rather than holding a grudge just because Trump called him some names.

DeSantis may be an ally that Trump could lean on in this process, and Trump would be wise to lean on the massively popular Florida Governor as much as he can.

Breaking: Nine American servicemen lost in line of duty

The military was dealt a devastating blow. Americans’ hearts go out to the fallen.

Because nine American servicemen were lost in line of duty.

As members of the United States Armed Forces, America’s servicemen are tasked with defending this great nation.

They go through months of grueling training to prepare for anything our enemies throw at us.

No matter what, there is always a risk involved.

And unfortunately, America just learned that once again.

Two Army HH-60 Black Hawk helicopters collided in Kentucky on Wednesday night during a training exercise, killing nine military men.

There have been few facts provided concerning the crash, which occurred at 10:00 p.m. Local time difference between two helicopters from the 101st Airborne Division.

The accident occurred in Trigg County, near Fort Campbell.

“The crewmembers were flying two HH60 Blackhawk helicopters during a routine training mission when the incident occurred. The status of the crew members are unknown at this time,” the 101st Airborne Division announced in a statement.

“The command is currently focused on caring for the servicemembers and their families.”

The division first verified many “casualties,” but an Army officer subsequently informed ABC News that everyone on both helicopters had died.

“We’ve got some tough news out of Fort Campbell, with early reports of a helicopter crash and fatalities are expected. @kystatepolice, @KentuckyEM and local officials are responding. We will share more information as available. Please pray for all those affected,” Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear said on Twitter.

Beshear announced early Thursday morning that he would be traveling to Fort Campbell in response to the crash.

“This morning I will be traveling to Fort Campbell to support our troops and their families after last night’s tragic incident. More information will be released later this morning,” he said.

The crash occurred in the woods, according to Kentucky State Police. At 9:00 a.m. on Thursday, Fort Campbell will hold a press conference. to share further facts about the occurrence.

Local resident Nick Tomaszewski told WSMV that he heard the accident after seeing the helicopters fly by.

“So it’s nothing out of the norm to see helicopters, we see them all the time, but tonight there were two that were coming kind of straight up over our house, headed straight northbound,” he said.

“I told my wife, ‘wow, those look really close tonight’ for whatever reason … about a minute later, they were coming across and there was a large explosion in the sky almost look like a firework went off. And then the entire tree line lit up.”

The nation mourns and prays for the families who lost their loved ones.
