Airplane OPS: Alaska
🚨Plane with 10 onboard missing near Nome, Alaska
Jim West, volunteer fire and ambulance chief in Nome, said a possible plane went down with 10 people onboard.
The plane — a Cessna 208B Grand Caravan aircraft owned by Bering Air — was reported to have been flying from Unalakleet to Nome, according to the Nome Volunteer Fire Department.
The flight took off from Unalakleet at 2:37 p.m., according to Bering Air Director of Operations David Olson.
Data from FlightRadar shows a Bering Air flight last reporting info at 3:16 p.m. over the Norton Sound.
Alaska State Troopers reported in a dispatch that the flight had nine passengers and one pilot onboard. Troopers said they were contacted by the Alaska Rescue Coordination Center at 4 p.m. regarding the missing plane.
The volunteer department stated it was conducting an active ground search from the communities of Nome and White Mountain, but weather and visibility issues are restricting the air search.
Norton Sound Health Corporation in Nome put out a notice at 5:25 p.m. that it was “ready to respond to a community medical emergency,” but did not give any other details.
An FAA weather camera located in Golovin, about 70 miles east of Nome, showed what appeared to be near-whiteout conditions over several hours Thursday afternoon.

The illegals that are protesting by blocking the highways are also attacking and harassing people.
Arrested, USDA Inspector Phyllis Fong, a 22-year USDA veteran, is one of the key players behind the artificial inflation of poultry and egg prices in the U.S. She ordered the culling of MILLIONS of healthy birds, using the FAKE excuse of “mutating bird flu.” But here’s the TRUTH: There was NO pandemic.
Fong personally ordered mass bird exterminations in 2024, targeting farms in Colorado, Ohio, Arizona, Louisiana, and Nebraska. One case in Louisiana set the stage: a man (who DID NOT WORK on a poultry farm) was allegedly diagnosed with H5N1 after “finding dead birds” in his yard. The CDC then INVENTED a panic story, claiming 66 people were infected. Sources say that number is ENTIRELY FABRICATED.
Before the media even blasted this FAKE OUTBREAK, Fong and Biden’s corrupt FDA sent teams of inspectors in full hazmat suits to Nebraska, ordering the instant killing of 600,000 birds. The farm owner—who recently tested his flock and found ZERO SIGNS of bird flu—REFUSED. But it didn’t matter. Fong had already signed off on the order, threatening him with $4 BILLION in fines and PRISON TIME if he didn’t comply.
She thought she was untouchable. When Trump began cleansing the Deep State in January, she REFUSED TO LEAVE, publicly claiming Trump had “no authority” over “federal watchdogs.”
The next day, KARMA STRUCK. Security FORCED HER OUT, delivering her straight to JAG investigators.
Now you know why the price of eggs have shot thru the roof.

97% Of Political Contributions From USAID Employees Went To Democrats
Political contributions from employees at the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) went almost entirely to Democrats, according to a Daily Wire analysis.
In the 2024 election cycle, USAID staff made a total of $406,790 in political contributions, according to data collected on OpenSecrets. More than half of that, $241,079, went to the former Vice President Kamala Harris. Only $999 — a quarter of a percent — went to President Donald Trump.
In all, just over $377,000, or 97%, went to Democrats, while just $12,704 went to Republicans. Open Secrets tracked all political donations of USAID employees to PACs and candidates over $200 via data from the Federal Election Commission.
These numbers highlight the political bias Trump and his team have said they need to root out from USAID. Trump on Monday said that the agency and its $50 billion annual budget were run by “radical left lunatics” who “went crazy during the Biden administration” and were giving money “to people that shouldn’t be getting” it. Elon Musk, who has been tasked with slashing federal waste through the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), said the agency was “beyond repair.”
The Trump administration is in the process of rolling USAID into the State Department, making Secretary of State Marco Rubio the acting administrator of USAID. Rubio said his frustrations with the agency’s “insubordination” go back to his time in Congress.
“We would ask them questions — ‘Who does this program fund? Who gets the money?'” and not get responses, Rubio said. “These are taxpayer dollars,” he added, saying, “We owe the American people assurances that every dollar we are spending abroad is being spent on something that furthers our national interest.”
Rubio noted that “a lot of functions” of the agency will continue, but they will be aligned with American foreign policy.
Thousands of USAID staffers have been laid off since Trump took office, and a slew of programs have been shut down.
On Monday, USAID staffers were told to stay out of the agency’s headquarters in Washington, D.C., where yellow police tape and officers blocked the entrance. The agency’s website disappeared on Saturday, and hundreds of USAID employees reported being locked out of the agency’s computer systems Sunday night.
Several Democrat senators have claimed that it is “illegal” for the president to shut down the agency.
“Elon Musk may get to be dictator of Tesla. And he may try to play dictator here in Washington, D.C., but he doesn’t get to shut down the Agency for International Development,” Senator Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) said at a press conference in front of the USAID headquarters on Monday.
Senator Brian Schatz (D-HI) threatened to place a “blanket hold” on all of Trump’s State Department nominees until the administration stops attacking the agency.

USDA inspector general escorted out of her office after defying White House
Security agents escorted the inspector general of the U.S. Department of Agriculture out of her office on Monday after she refused to comply with her firing by the Trump administration, sources familiar with the matter told Reuters.
Phyllis Fong, a 22-year veteran of the department, had earlier told colleagues that she intended to stay after the White House terminated her Friday, saying that she didn’t believe the administration had followed proper protocols, the sources said.
In an email to colleagues on Saturday, reviewed by Reuters, she said the independent Council of the Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency “has taken the position that these termination notices do not comply with the requirements set out in law and therefore are not effective at this time.”
Fong declined to comment and the Office of the Inspector General did not respond to multiple requests for comment.
After this article was published, a USDA spokesperson said Fong left the office Monday on her own accord.
"She was accompanied by two friends who she paused to take selfies with on her way out. Security officials did not play any role in her departure,” the spokesperson said.
The White House defended the firing of Fong and the other inspectors general, saying "these rogue, partisan bureaucrats… have been relieved of their duties in order to make room for qualified individuals who will uphold the rule of law and protect Democracy."
The USDA inspector general has a broad mandate, pursuing consumer food safety, audits and investigations of the Agriculture Department as well as violations of animal welfare laws. The USDA has been at the heart of concerns about bird flu, which has spread among cattle and chickens and killed a person in Louisiana.
In 2022, the inspector general’s office launched an investigation of Elon Musk’s brain implant startup Neuralink, which remains ongoing, sources said. In recent years, the office has also taken on animal abuse at dog breeders for research labs and the listeria outbreak at Boar’s Head, among other issues.
Musk spent more than a quarter of a billion dollars to help President Donald Trump get elected in November and has emerged as a key player in the president’s orbit.
Fong was among the 17 federal watchdogs fired by Trump on Friday in what critics described as a Friday-night purge. Speaking to reporters afterwards aboard Air Force One, Trump defended the move saying "it’s a very common thing to do." He did not say who would be installed in the vacant posts.
The dismissals, handed out less than a week after Trump took office for his second term, appeared to violate federal law, the Council of the Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency said in a letter to the White House on Friday.
Fong served as the first chairperson of CIGIE from 2008 through 2014, according to her biography on USDA’s website.
In response to the Reuters story, Senator Mazie Hirono criticized Trump's firing of the watchdogs.
"Egg prices are soaring. Bird flu is out of control. USDA should be fixing this problem. Instead, Trump is stacking the federal government with yes-men. He doesn’t care about your grocery prices," she wrote on X.
