"Copter Crash Kills 3 Aides Of Trump" - The New York Times 10/11/1989:

Not many copters crash like that. Isn't it suspicious that a rotor just "popped" off a chopper carrying 3 execs who could testify?

And what an odd coincidence that Trump's ex-wife Ivana died suddenly when she "fell" down her home's stairs in a freak accident when Trump was being investigated for unseemly close Russian ties. Ivana, the daughter of a Communist era Czech secret police informer, who had KGB ties would she have any incriminating info about Trump's former KGB friends?

... On August 25, Stephen Miller, the president's homeland security adviser and White House deputy chief of staff, gave an interview to Sean Hannity on Fox News saying: "The Democrat [sic] Party does not fight for, care about, or represent American citizens. It is an entity devoted exclusively [his emphasis] to the defense of hardened criminals, gang-bangers, and illegal, alien killers and terrorists. The Democrat Party is not a political party.

When Did The US Agree to Host a Qatari Air Force Facility?

The U.S. and Qatar first inked a deal in 2017 to sell Qatar 36 aircraft, their associated weapons systems, U.S.-based training, maintenance support equipment and logistics support, according to The Air Force Times.

Stars and Stripes then in 2022 reported that the Air Force was looking to bring 170 members of Qatar's Air Force to the Idaho base, where they would learn to fly the newest F-15 fighter jet "specifically modified for the Persian Gulf state" and advance the program.

Lt. Col. Peter Yule at the time told the Idaho Statesman in a phone interview: "With Singapore, their ability to integrate with our local community has been phenomenal. I would expect the same thing out of the Qatar program."

Yule called the sale of aircraft to Qatar "obviously a big strategic advantage" that will "continue to increase capability of partner nations within the Middle East, a region of huge influence for the United States. So the more we can increase capability with our appropriations there, the less reliant we have to be on a large footprint by the United States military." ...
