IT DIDN’T HAVE TO BE LIKE THIS
_Addressing the Elephant in the Room_

The news out of Washington, D.C., this past week is a dagger to the
heart of every patriotic American who’s ever saluted the flag or
hugged a soldier goodbye.

On November 26th, just blocks from the White House, an Afghan national
named Rahmanullah Lakanwal, 29, ambushed two National Guardsmen in
cold blood. Sarah Beckstrom, a brave 20-year-old from West Virginia,
was killed in the attack—cowardly shot twice in the head. Another
Guard member, Andrew Wolfe, 24, fights for his life in critical
condition, clinging to every breath after a revolver’s fury turned a
routine patrol into a nightmare.

THIS WASN’T A RANDOM ACT OF RAGE. IT IS THE BLOODY CONSEQUENCE OF
BRINGING A MYRIAD OF AFGHANS INTO AMERICA WITH LITTLE MORE THAN A
PROMISE AND A PRAYER. In the chaotic 2021 evacuation, we airlifted
tens of thousands of people from Kabul in weeks—many with no
passports, no biometric records, no vetting beyond a quick glance and
a Taliban-issued letter. Rahmanullah Lakanwal was one of them.

TODAY IS GIVING TUESDAY. WE WOULD BE SO GRATEFUL IF YOU WOULD CONSIDER
GIVING A GIFT IN ANY AMOUNT TO HELP US FIGHT TO PROTECT AND PRESERVE
AMERICA.

Officials say the former CIA-backed Afghan operative drove 2,800 miles
from Washington state with a handgun before ambushing the National
Guardsmen while reportedly yelling “Allahu Akbar!”  He overstayed
visas, drifted across the country, struggled mentally and financially
and, somewhere along the way, decided the nation that saved him
deserved his fury. He was shot and wounded in the exchange, now facing
first-degree murder charges, BUT THE DAMAGE IS DONE: A YOUNG WOMAN’S
LIFE CUT SHORT, ANOTHER LIFE HANGING BY A THREAD, ALL ON AMERICAN
SOIL.

President Trump, understandably incensed by this barbaric act, called
lax migration policies “the single greatest national security
threat,” vowing to “reexamine every single alien from
Afghanistan” and boot those who “do not belong here.” Homeland
Security Secretary Kristi Noem put a bow on it: radicalization
happened on our watch, post-arrival, in the very land that saved him.

The Biden administration never asked the hard questions, never ran the
deep background checks, never demanded proof of loyalty—because
“compassion” and speed trumped security. When you import people by
the planeload from the world’s most radicalized war zones without
rigorous, multi-layer vetting, you are not rescuing allies; you are
rolling the dice with American lives.

But let’s be brutally honest—this tragedy should shock no one.
It’s the latest scar in a hemorrhaging wound we’ve been warning
about for years. Recent headlines lay bare the dire situation of our
nation.

Just days earlier to the D.C. shooting, multiple American-raised
youths were arrested for an ISIS-inspired Halloween plot to bomb
Detroit with “pumpkin” explosives, echoing Boston’s Marathon
massacre. Encrypted chats, beheading videos, antisemitic rants—all
homegrown in New Jersey suburbs and Michigan enclaves. Prior to
Thanksgiving, an Afghan national, Mohammad Dawood Alokozay, was
arrested in Fort Worth, Texas on state charges of making a terroristic
threat. Alokozay brazenly posted a TikTok video indicating he was
constructing a bomb to target a building in the area, according to the
Department of Homeland Security. Then Minnesota’s gut-punch:
billions in taxpayer cash stolen from welfare scams like Feeding Our
Future ($250 million in fake meals) and autism fraud ($14 million in
bogus diagnoses), funneled via hawalas to Al-Shabaab, Al-Qaeda’s
Somali arm. Somali fraud rings—many on DHS benefits—sent $1.7
billion in remittances last year, with 20–40% skimmed by terrorists
for bombs and bullets. Under Tim Walz’s lax sanctuary regime, 70+
indictments later, the rot spreads.

These aren’t coincidences; they’re the inevitable fallout of open
borders and naive vetting.

TODAY IS GIVING TUESDAY. WE WOULD BE SO GRATEFUL IF YOU WOULD CONSIDER
GIVING A GIFT IN ANY AMOUNT TO HELP US FIGHT TO PROTECT AND PRESERVE
AMERICA.

We’ve imported chaos from terror hotbeds, only for it to bloom
here—radicalizing “allies,” defrauding the system, and striking
our protectors. That’s why Trump’s demanding a ban on high-risk
migration: not cruelty, but a surgical pause to rebuild secure
pathways, like his travel restrictions that slashed attacks from
high-risk nations.

President Trump has already halted all asylum claim decisions. He now
needs Congress to help with the high-risk migration ban. Take action
by contacting your federal legislators and tell Congress to back the
permanent pause of high-risk migration. For our Guardsmen, our
taxpayers, our future—IT’S TIME TO BE TOUGH.
