President Donald Trump shared a social media post claiming Afghans would 'chop off your head' and 'assume you were a witch' if you showed them a Nespresso machine. Robert O'Neill, the Navy Seal veteran who claimed to have killed Osama bin Laden, shared a post on X appearing to oppose the immigration of people from Afghanistan to the United States. 'If you've never been to Afghanistan, you wouldn't understand,' O'Neill wrote. 'If you showed these people a Nespresso machine and gave them a free coffee, they would assume you were a witch and chop off your head... But let's bring...

The Afghan man accused of gunning down two National Guard members blocks from the White House last week had been unraveling for years, unable to hold a job and flipping between long, lightless stretches of isolation and taking sudden weeks-long cross-country drives. His behavior deteriorated so sharply that a community advocate reached out to a refugee organization for help, fearing he was becoming suicidal. Emails obtained by The Associated Press reveal mounting warnings about the suspect, Rahmanullah Lakanwal, an asylum seeker whose erratic conduct raised alarms long before the attack that jolted the nation's capital on the eve of Thanksgiving....

...We don’t have good fidelity on who any of them are." The 29-year-old Afghan man suspected of shooting two National Guardsmen yesterday in Washington, D.C., was “clean on all checks,” a senior U.S. official told CNN. The official told CNN that “the US government had been doing continuous, annual vetting of individuals since the Afghans’ arrival in the US, especially in the wake of the failed terror plot disrupted before the election last year in Oklahoma, which involved an Afghan evacuee.” But a senior intelligence official told Public, “There wasn’t adequate screening done,” of Afghan evacuees. “We don’t have good...

More than 5,000 Afghans brought to the US after American forces withdrew from the country got flagged for “national security” issues, Department of Homeland Security data obtained by The Post reveals. In all, the feds uncovered “potential derogatory information” on a total of 6,868 people who came from Afghanistan as part of President Biden’s Operation Allies Welcome in 2021. Of that number, 5,005 came up with a national security concern, while 956 people had “public safety” concerns and 876 were flagged for fraud, according to the data.

I am not so cynical as to believe that either the CIA or USAID figures wanted to import Islamist terrorists into the United States, but it doesn't say anything good about either agency that they don't have a track record of ferreting them out, or even exercising good judgment. Of course, it's hardly surprising that the CIA works with some very sketchy people. It's got to be part of the job description when your job is to track what sketchy people do. The same could be said of some special forces types working in primitive cultures. They have to ally...

Donald Trump has revoked every executive order Joe Biden signed with an autopen - escalating the battle over the legitimacy of the ailing ex-president's administration. 'I am hereby canceling all executive orders, and anything else that was not directly signed by Crooked Joe Biden, because the people who operated the autopen did so illegally,' Trump wrote on Truth Social on Friday. 'Joe Biden was not involved in the autopen process and, if he says he was, he will be brought up on charges of perjury.' Presidents may legally undo executive orders signed by their predecessors, including pardons, however there is...

Any document signed by Sleepy Joe Biden with the Autopen, which was approximately 92% of them, is hereby terminated, and of no further force or effect. The Autopen is not allowed to be used if approval is not specifically given by the President of the United States. The Radical Left Lunatics circling Biden around the beautiful Resolute Desk in the Oval Office took the Presidency away from him. I am hereby cancelling all Executive Orders, and anything else that was not directly signed by Crooked Joe Biden, because the people who operated the Autopen did so illegally. Joe Biden was...

"The Autopen is not allowed to be used if approval is not specifically given by the President of the United States," Trump wrote.

Trump said he is canceling all executive orders and "anything else that was not directly...

The Afghan national suspected in the shooting of two National Guard troops in Washington, DC was brought into the US through a Biden-era refugee program after the former president's disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan that led to the death of 13 US military members. The same program is known to have given suspected terrorists protected status as refugees in the US. Rahmanullah Lakanwal, 29, has been charged with shooting West Virginia National Guard troops Andrew Wolfe, 24, and Sarah Beckstrom, 20, in Washington, DC on Wednesday. The case is now under a terrorism investigation by the FBI. However, Republican lawmakers have...

The latest brutal act of Afghan refugee terrorism claimed the lives of two brave members of the National Guard in D.C.. Since their arrival in the United States, Afghan ‘refugees’ have been involved in violent attacks, in assorted crimes, and in sexual assaults on women and girls.The attack by Rahmanullah Lakanwal took place a mere week after another Afghan, Abdullah Haji Zada, was sentenced to 15 years in prison in the Election Day plot.Abdullah and Nasir Ahmad Tawhedi, his Afghan brother-in-law, a former ‘guard’ at an American facility in Afghanistan, had plotted a mass shooting attack directed at “large groups...
