From the 117th Air Refueling Wing:

"Leaders of the 117th Air Refueling Wing in Birmingham said they are "deeply heartbroken" by the tragic loss of three members of the co-located 99th Air Refueling Squadron, offering prayers and condolences to their families and loved ones, and mourning the service members as fellow teammates.

On March 12, 2026, a U.S. Air Force KC-135 Stratotanker crashed in western Iraq during Operation Epic Fury, claiming the lives of all on board: three active-duty airmen of the 99th Air Refueling Squadron and three airmen from the Ohio Air National Guard's 121st Air Refueling Wing.

The search and rescue efforts to recover members concluded on March 13.

The 99th Air Refueling Squadron is located at Sumpter Smith Joint National Guard Base in Birmingham, Alabama, sharing resources, space, manpower, and infrastructure with the Alabama National Guard's 117th Air Refueling Wing. Leaders said members of the 99th Air Refueling Squadron operate alongside the people of the 117th Air Refueling Wing and are "fully integrated" with its unit culture, but the active-duty squadron is administratively governed by the 6th Air Refueling Wing at MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa, Florida.

“Alex, Ashley, and Ariana are, and always will be members of the 117th family,” said Col. Mike Adams, 117th Air Refueling Wing commander. “Even though they were not members of the Air National Guard, to us they will always be remembered as Vulcan refuelers and Alabamians.”

Adams said the 117th Air Refueling Wing has established a Family Assistance Center to support all who are affected by the loss. Additionally, counseling services and chaplains are always available to service members, civilian employees, and families at Sumpter Smith JNGB.

The circumstances of the incident are under investigation, and more information will be released as it becomes available."

🚨 JD VANCE: "Join me in praying for the six service members who lost their lives in a plane crash over the skies of Iraq. Three were Ohioans serving with the 121st Air Refueling Wing, a unit I was honored to visit as a senator. A grateful nation mourns their loss."

I have been helping families in Venezuela for 10 years and anyone who hasn’t been there or in close contact with people there have no clue. People are just addicted to being mad. Well while ur mad, Venezuela is happy for the first time in 25 years.

Millionaire CEO Natalie Dawson explains why she fired and terminated the contracts of 2 employees who had an affair with each other while both were involved with partners outside the company

“Do you think they are going to have the ethics, morals, and judgment to not be distracted by their own personal ethical situation, and actually focus on doing a good job? That person, in any environment, is a liability.”

Gavin Newsom gave his close family friends $500,000 from the Pacific Palisades fire aid relief money

Spencer Pratt “Let’s talk about the John Paul Getty Trust. The Getty Trust received a half a million dollars from fire aid money for its LA Arts Community Fire Relief Fund under the category musicians and artists. I'm not sure why the Getty Trust needed any fire aid money since their most recent IRS form declared a revenue of over $370 billion dollars in 2023 and assets totaling $12.3 billion dollars.

The trust president and CEO one person received a salary of 3.7 million dollars so what exactly did the Getty Trust need $500,000 of fire aid money for well I guess it's just a little petty cash to exchange amongst friends because as you may recall the Newsomes and the Getty families have been socially intertwined for generations”

- Getty family members donated over $500,000 to Newsom’s campaigns from his 1990s San Francisco supervisor run through his 2018 gubernatorial victory (e.g., bundled contributions via family trusts). This does not include the public J. Paul Getty Trust
- The Getty family’s support has extended to Newsom’s political rise, with shared social circles including figures like Nancy Pelosi and Jerry Brown
- Gordon Getty invested in all 11 of Newsom’s early ventures, holding lead stakes
- A Getty family trust paid Newsom directly for investment consulting in the early 1990s
- Gordon and Ann Getty provided undocumented gifts and low-interest loans for Newsom’s home purchases, including real estate in San Francisco

🚨 JUST IN: Vice President JD Vance has helped carry Charlie Kirk onto Air Force Two to bring him home to Arizona, with the family.

Charlie is the GOAT. All of America is missing him.🙏

[JD Vance @JDVance]

A while ago, probably in 2017, I appeared on Tucker Carlson's Fox show to talk about God knows what. Afterwards a name I barely knew sent me a DM on twitter and told me I did a great job. It was Charlie Kirk, and that moment of kindness began a friendship that lasted until today.

Charlie was fascinated by ideas and always willing to learn and change his mind. Like me, he was skeptical of Donald Trump in 2016. Like me, he came to see President Trump as the only figure capable of moving American politics away from the globalism that had dominated for our entire lives. When others were right, he learned from them. When he was right--as he usually was--he was generous. With Charlie, the attitude was never, "I told you so." But: "welcome."

Charlie was one of the first people I called when I thought about running for senate in early 2021. I was interested but skeptical there was a pathway. We talked through everything, from the strategy to the fundraising to the grassroots of the movement he knew so well. He introduced me to some of the people who would run my campaign and also to Donald Trump Jr. "Like his dad, he's misunderstood. He's extremely smart, and very much on our wavelength." Don took a call from me because Charlie asked him too.

Long before I ever committed (even in my mind) to running, Charlie had me speak to his donors at a TPUSA event. He walked me around the room and introduced me. He gave me honest feedback on my remarks. He had no reason to do this, no expectation that I'd go anywhere. I was polling, at that point, well below 5 percent. He did it because we were friends, and because he was a good man.

When I became the VP nominee--something Charlie advocated for both in public and private--Charlie was there for me. I was so glad to be part of the president's team, but candidly surprised by the effect it had on our family. Our kids, especially our oldest, struggled with the attention and the constant presence of the protective detail. I felt this acute sense of guilt, that I had conscripted my kids into this life without getting their permission. And Charlie was constantly calling and texting, checking on our family and offering guidance and prayers. Some of our most successful events were organized not by the campaign, but by TPUSA. He wasn't just a thinker, he was a doer, turning big ideas into bigger events with thousands of activists. And after every event, he would give me a big hug, tell me he was praying for me, and ask me what he could do. "You focus on Wisconsin," he'd tell me. "Arizona is in the bag." And it was.

Charlie genuinely believed in and loved Jesus Christ. He had a profound faith. We used to argue about Catholicism and Protestantism and who was right about minor doctrinal questions. Because he loved God, he wanted to understand him.

Someone else pointed out that Charlie died doing what he loved: discussing ideas. He would go into these hostile crowds and answer their questions. If it was a friendly crowd, and a progressive asked a question to jeers from the audience, he'd encourage his fans to calm down and let everyone speak. He exemplified a foundational virtue of our Republic: the willingness to speak openly and debate ideas.

Charlie had an uncanny ability to know when to push the envelope and when to be more conventional. I've seen people attack him for years for being wrong on this or that issue publicly, never realizing that privately he was working to broaden the scope of acceptable debate.

He was a great family man. I was talking to President Trump in the Oval Office today, and he said, "I know he was a very good friend of yours." I nodded silently, and President Trump observed that Charlie really loved his family. The president was right. Charlie was so proud of Erika and the two kids. He was so happy to be a father. And he felt such gratitude for having found a woman of God with whom he could build a family.

Charlie Kirk was a true friend. The kind of guy you could say something to and know it would always stay with him. I am on more than a few group chats with Charlie and people he introduced me to over the years. We celebrate weddings and babies, bust each other's chops, and mourn the loss of loved ones. We talk about politics and policy and sports and life. These group chats include people at the very highest level of our government. They trusted him, loved him, and knew he'd always have their backs. And because he was a true friend ,you could instinctively trust the people Charlie introduced you to. So much of the success we've had in this administration traces directly to Charlie's ability to organize and convene. He didn't just help us win in 2024, he helped us staff the entire government.

I was in a meeting in the West Wing when those group chats started lighting up with people telling Charlie they were praying for him. And that's how I learned the news that my friend had been shot. I prayed a lot over the next hour, as first good news and then bad trickled in.

God didn't answer those prayers, and that's OK. He had other plans. And now that Charlie is in heaven, I'll ask him to talk to big man directly on behalf of his family, his friends, and the country he loved so dearly.

You ran a good race, my friend.

We've got it from here.

When I was 13, I carried a secret shame. We were so poor that I often went to school with no food. At recess, while my classmates opened their lunches—apples, cookies, sandwiches—I sat pretending I wasn’t hungry. I buried my face in a book, hiding the sound of my empty stomach. Inside, it hurt more than I can explain.

Then, one day, a girl noticed. Quietly, without making a fuss, she offered me half her lunch. I was embarrassed, but I accepted. The next day, she did it again. And again. Sometimes it was a roll, sometimes an apple, sometimes a piece of cake her mother baked. To me, it was a miracle. For the first time in a long time, I felt seen.

Then one day, she was gone. Her family moved, and she never came back. Every day at recess, I’d glance at the door, hoping she would walk in and sit beside me with her smile and her sandwich. But she never did.

Still, I carried her kindness with me. It became part of who I was.

Years passed. I grew up. I thought of her often, but life went on.

Then, just yesterday, something happened that froze me in place. My young daughter came home from school and said:

“Dad, can you pack me two snacks tomorrow?”

“Two?” I asked. “You never finish one.”

She looked at me with the seriousness only a child can have:

“It’s for a boy in my class. He didn’t eat today. I gave him half of mine.”

I just stood there, goosebumps rising, time standing still. In her small act, I saw that girl from my childhood. The one who fed me when no one else noticed. Her kindness hadn’t disappeared—it had traveled through me, and now, through my daughter.

I stepped onto the balcony and looked at the sky, my eyes full of tears. All at once I felt my hunger, my shame, my gratitude, and my joy.

That girl may never remember me. She may not even know the difference she made. But I will never forget her. Because she taught me that even the smallest act of kindness can change a life.

And now, I know: as long as my daughter shares her bread with another child, kindness will live on.

NOW: Scott Jennings gets emotional talking about the shooting of his friend Charlie Kirk...pointing to how dangerously divided America has become.

“I sat in this room last summer, the night they shot the president, and now they shot Charlie.”

“And I’m not sure it’s safe to be an outspoken conservative walking around in America right now.”

“There’s a lot of people out there who are in absolute shock and are horrified by this. And I don’t know what’s going to happen other than to tell you that this nation is in desperate need of prayer and some kind of an intervention.”

“And so I don’t know what’s going to happen to Charlie.”

“All I can really think about is his poor wife and those two babies. And so I think the best thing any of us can do right now is just pray for his recovery.”

“God help us, we are in a bad place.”

[Eric Daugherty @EricLDaugh]

Every American should be absolutely furious right now.

Charlie Kirk has never once encouraged violence against any political group, and he was just shot at an event in Utah.

Never advocated for anything except peace.

An absolute outrage. There are no words. Pray for Charlie.

Pray for @charliekirk11. He’s one of the bravest and most courageous voices in America today.
