Biden and the Democrats are outraising us hand over fist. And they’re doing it while telling us EXACTLY what their plan is for Biden’s 2nd term. Killing more babies. Seizing YOUR guns. Raising OUR taxes. So why aren’t you helping me stop them? I’m Ronda Kennedy. Help me win this November so we can help Trump reverse Biden’s damage to this country!

The fire was put out by several emergency vehicles using water and foam. The flames were too widespread on the plane.

Officials confirmed that JAL Flight 516 departed from Shin Chitose Airport in Japan and flew to Haneda. Haneda Airport is one of Japan’s busiest.
