Saudi Aramco helicopter crash kills 14

Reasons for crash unknown and under investigation

At least 14 people were killed when a helicopter belonging to oil giant Saudi Aramco crashed in Ras Tanura on Sunday, the Saudi Press Agency reported.

All victims who were on board the aircraft were Saudi nationals. The cause of the crash is unknown, and an investigation is under way, the news agency added.

Saudi Aramco resumed oil loading operations on Friday at ⁠its Ras Tanura terminal ⁠in the Gulf after an almost four-month halt, shipping data ⁠from LSEG showed.

Saudi Arabia, ⁠the world's biggest oil exporter, has ‌joined a rush to move cargo ⁠after Middle East producers ⁠ramped up oil and gas output and exports ahead of an interim deal to halt the war between the US and Iran.

Saudi Arabia's Ministry of Energy mourned the victims and extended its “deepest condolences and sincere sympathies" to their families.

Outrage! University Polls Finds Majority Of Democrats Would Rather Live Outside USA

In the latest indication that the Democrat party is downright anti-American, Campus Reform is reporting “A new survey from Elon University found that a majority of Democrats would prefer living in another country rather than the United States”.

According to this disturbing poll, “55 percent of Democrats answered ‘yes’ when asked whether there is another country where they would rather live today than the United States.”

On the other hand, only 10 percent of Republicans answered the same.

It’s a good time to remind the Left that no one is forcing them to live here, and if they hate this country, they are welcome to leave.

These poll findings should be of concern to all Americans, as they indicate what has long been suspected: that currently only one political party loves this country.

This poll finding has broad implications and explains why Dems seem more concerned with the needs of illegals and foreign nationals than that of US citizens.

Regarding America’s upcoming birthday, the differences are even more stark.

“Sixty-eight percent of Republicans reported feeling proud about America250, while only 18 percent of Democrats said the same.”

These poll numbers are quite disturbing.

“The gap suggests that attitudes toward America’s history and founding ideals increasingly break along partisan lines, even as universities and civic organizations prepare for the historic anniversary.”
