Just heartbreaking news.
Moments ago, President Donald Trump announced that Sarah Beckstrom, one of two members of the National Guard who were shot in a terrorist attack on Wednesday in Washington, D.C., has tragically passed away from her injuries.
God Speed Sarah Beckstrom.
The 20 year old West Virginia National Guard member succumbed to gunshot injuries from the Afghan shooter per President Trump.

U.S. Attorney for D.C. Jeanine Pirro shared a little bit of background on Beckstrom on X:
Our hearts and prayers go out to the family of 20-year-old Sarah Beckstrom of the National Guard — a hero who volunteered to serve DC on Thanksgiving for people she never met and gave the ultimate sacrifice. May she rest in peace. It is now time to avenge her death and secure justice.

Beckstrom was just 20 years old.
Earlier, we reported on how Ms. Beckstrom's father, Gary, had shared with the New York Times that his daughter had suffered a mortal wound and was not expected to survive:
The father of Sarah Beckstrom, one of the wounded National Guard members, said his daughter was unlikely to recover. “I’m holding her hand right now,” Gary Beckstrom said when reached by phone. “She has a mortal wound. It’s not going to be a recovery.” He declined to talk further. Beckstrom and the other wounded Guard soldier, Andrew Wolfe, are in critical condition, officials have said.
The newspaper also noted that though Wolfe's family has not given any interviews, someone who was at the house told reporters that they were asking for prayers.
Please remember to keep the victims and their families in your thoughts and prayers. Just an incredibly difficult time for them, and to have it happen during the holidays just makes it all the more painful and senseless.

Tom Homan says that 65-70% of all the illegals that ICE has arrested this term are criminals. I’ve never heard of them targeting gardeners or maids (not that there would be anything wrong with them enforcing the law in regard to them anyway), and they picked up a child sex offender in their big pot farm raid. This is very sad and aggravating, but it would be totally unjustified for them to stop picking up criminals and preventing many murders just to fixate solely on one, relatively small group.
As will this one and millions of his ilk.
As Yakoff Smirnoff said in his commercials, "What A Country"!

AOC and the rest of the Military haters must be really happy.
I just listened to President Trump talk about the murder of Sarah. He has such a pained look on his face.
Duty
Honor
Country
Nobility
Thank you, Sarah
He and others like him need to be permanently kept and shown nude.
What is going to be done about it? The guy who shot up Ft. Hood is living the Life of Riley somewhere. His victims in a cold dark grave. Their children [if they had any] orphans. Their spouses [if they had any] widows or widowers.
This lady is just one more of a growing list of victims of his ilk. And few to very few give a damn.
I seen a sign in a restaurant one day that read: “After all is said and done, more is said than is done.”
It appears to me that there are certain people who murder other people just for the Hell of it.
The girl on the train was murdered because she sat in front of a wild animal and did not get the Hell out of there when she saw what she did.
The Bastard that shot up FT. Hood is still living the Life of Reilly. The wild animal that murdered the girl on the train has it made. The list of innocent victims continues to grow. The list of perps that know they face no consequences for their crimes grows./p>
Poor girl

After what I saw with this pic I think it will happen again.
So sad. What a lovely girl.
Damn. Praying for her family.
I stand corrected, sir.
