Charlie Kirk’s Take on Biden Importing of 30,000 Afghans Hits Different After DC Attack

An Afghan national who entered the United States in September 2021 through Operation Allies Welcome ambushed two National Guardsmen on Wednesday just steps from the White House.

The suspect, identified as Rahmanullah Lakanwal, arrived after the withdrawal from Afghanistan that occurred under Joe Biden.

The attack raised questions about the vetting process used for evacuees brought into the country during that period.

The Biden-Harris administration had said that Afghans arriving under the program underwent strict screening.

The shooting has renewed scrutiny of those assurances.

According to the details of the incident released publicly, the ambush occurred in Washington, DC, and both Guardsmen were targeted at close range.

Commentary about the withdrawal and its aftermath resurfaced following the attack.

Charlie Kirk had expressed concerns in August 2021 about the scale and speed of the evacuation, connecting the influx of evacuees to broader political goals he believed were at work within the Biden-Harris administration.

Kirk said, “President Joe Biden’s Department of Defense will accept 30,000 Afghan refugees in the military installations following the collapse of Kabul. Boom. Political transformation. Let the country crumble.”

He said the situation was not accidental and viewed the events at the time as part of a political strategy.

Kirk connected the evacuation to long-term changes in the country.

In his view, the withdrawal was structured in a way that would create conditions for future shifts in the political landscape.

He said, “This was all intentional. Joe Biden let it fall apart to now say, ‘Oh, I’m so sorry.’”

He argued that the situation was not about humanitarian concerns, stating that the issue involved long-term political calculations.

Kirk said, “What’s going on here is Joe Biden wants a couple hundred thousand more Ilhan Omars to come into America to change the body politic permanently.”

Kirk said the decisions made during the withdrawal created risks for the United States and would produce long-term consequences.

He said improper vetting created an environment where individuals who wished to cause harm could enter the country.

“We’re playing checkers, and they’re playing chess,” he said as he outlined what he described as the strategic approach behind the withdrawal and the evacuation process.

Kirk said the impact of the collapse in Kabul would extend far beyond Afghanistan’s borders.

Some connected those predictions to the shooting that took place Wednesday in Washington, saying the consequences from the withdrawal continued to be felt domestically.

The ambush occurred near the White House and involved service members assigned to duty in the capital.

Information released after the attack identified Lakanwal as the suspect.

The details surrounding his arrival in the United States placed him within the Operation Allies Welcome program.

The attack brought renewed attention to the evacuation process and the policies implemented during the withdrawal.

The incident was described as an ambush, and both Guardsmen were targeted while carrying out their duties in the area.

The connection between the suspect’s arrival in 2021 and the circumstances of the attack led to further examination of the decisions made during the withdrawal and the screening processes that were in place at the time.

Jeanine Pirro UNLEASHES on Biden Admin’s Alleged Vetting of Afghans During Botched Exit

Jeanine Pirro delivered a forceful critique of the Biden-Harris administration’s handling of the Afghanistan withdrawal and its broader immigration policies, focusing on what she described as a complete collapse of vetting procedures.

Speaking about the administration’s decisions during the 2021 evacuation, Pirro said the rushed operation brought 90,000 people into the United States without adequate screening.

Pirro pointed to conditions at Kabul airport as the clearest example of what she called systemic failures.

“Let me say one more thing, and it’s not about this case. It’s about vetting in general, the nonsense that the left gave us with this operation. Welcome allies. Look, there was no vetting. If you think there was vetting, I have a bridge to sell you,” she said.

She described the airport scene as chaotic and placed responsibility on Biden administration officials.

“If you saw the chaos that was going on at that airport in Kabul in Afghanistan. It was typical of what was going on in the Biden administration and the Pentagon.”

She criticized public statements from administration officials who defended the withdrawal.

“I believe it was Kirby and people in the Biden administration said the Afghan withdrawal that we all know was disastrous was a success. And that’s a quote. They call that a success, that chaos is not a success, that is a nightmare,” she said.

Pirro referenced the 13 American servicemembers killed in the attack at the airport, saying the loss was tied to indecision on critical security measures.

“Thirteen American servicemen and women were killed at that airport because the Biden administration couldn’t get their their facts together and couldn’t make a decision regarding the rules of engagement to take down a known suicide bomber.”

Pirro argued the vetting failures were not limited to the Afghanistan operation.

“So let’s stop namby-pambying around with this. Oh, we was vetted. There was no vetted. The welcome mat was thrown down. They even admitted that they short circuited the vetting,” she said.

According to Pirro, the administration not only accelerated the process but neglected to confirm basic background information.

“What they did was they brought in 90,000 people into this country that were not vetted. They told us all the other immigrants were vetted. What do we do? Call the FBI in Afghanistan and say, Gee, do you have anything on this guy? Did we call Venezuela and say, gee, how about your your criminal justice system? What can you tell me about this guy?”

She connected the issue to longstanding concerns about illegal immigration.

“It’s like the 10 20 million American illegals who have been let into this country. We don’t know who they are until we suffer the consequences that we have seen in Washington,” she said.

Pirro referenced her visit to the crime scene in Washington, describing its impact.

“I was on that scene, and it is a very sad place, and Sarah Beckstrom and her family did not deserve this. They should have been protected, which is a first order of government.”

Pirro closed by asserting that political motivations, not public safety, drive the administration’s approach.

“And the left ought to stop their nonsense and recognize that they are not speaking for the American people. They are speaking about ideology and politics,” she said.

She contrasted that with the priorities she described on the conservative side.

“Donald Trump, the president, the Attorney General and myself were interested in the facts in the prosecution, making people accountable. And rest assured, we will.”

Colorado Parolee With 11-Page Rap Sheet Kills Three Kids, Adult in Denver

The man accused of causing a crash that killed five people on a Denver highway, including himself, had an extensive criminal history spanning more than a decade and was out on parole at the time of the incident.

The collision occurred on Monday when Walter Huling, 31, swerved into oncoming traffic while driving a stolen Toyota Matrix hatchback and struck a Ford sedan.

Huling died at the scene.

Four people inside the sedan were killed, including three juveniles.

Court documents obtained by Denver7 show that Huling had been arrested at least 16 times since 2013 on charges including assault, false reporting, bribery, burglary, contempt of court, driving under the influence, parole violation, and additional assault-related offenses. Records also show he had a significant history as a juvenile.

In 2019, Huling received a six-year prison sentence following a downtown Denver assault.

According to court documents, he attacked a man and rendered him unconscious before assaulting the man’s wife.

When police responded, Huling physically attacked the officer taking him into custody.

George Brauchler, district attorney for Judicial District 23, commented on the case and the concerns surrounding Huling’s criminal record.

He told the network that the circumstances appeared “like we are failing the community,” noting Huling’s long history “and the fact that he appears to have been on parole.”

Brauchler added, “I mean, it’s an 11-page criminal history that dates back to when this guy was a juvenile.”

Authorities identified the four victims killed in the sedan as Alvin Corado, 35, Toretto Corado, 8, Makenlee Corado, 12, and Jase Green, 12.

Law enforcement reported that roughly an hour before the crash, a Toyota Matrix hatchback had been reported stolen from RTD’s Nine Mile station in Aurora, Colorado.

The vehicle matched the one Huling was driving when he crossed into oncoming traffic.

Joy Reid Claims MAGA Has a New ‘N-Word,’ Floats a Conspiracy ‘Fairy Tale’

Former MSNBC host Joy Reid faced criticism this week after asserting that the word “illegal” is being used as a new epithet, prompting pushback from commentators who argued that the term has long been part of debates over immigration policy and public safety.

Reid’s remarks, made during a recent segment, centered on claims that the word “illegal” was being deployed in a derogatory way.

Her comments were met with objections from critics who said the description was inaccurate and that attempts to frame the term as an epithet were part of a broader effort to restrict language used in discussions about immigration and crime.

Critics pointed to ongoing concerns surrounding crimes committed by individuals residing in the United States unlawfully, including cases involving rape, murder, drug distribution, and drunk driving incidents.

They argued that such concerns have been central to longstanding public policy debates, not the result of newly invented terminology.

They also rejected the notion that the term “illegal” was comparable to established racial epithets, saying it referred to immigration status rather than race or ethnicity.

The discussion also included Reid’s commentary about Vice President J.D. Vance, during which she described the Make America Great Again movement as racist.

She referenced Vance’s family, noting his marriage to an Indian woman and his biracial children.

Critics responded by saying that such family details undermined accusations of racial motivations and were often narrowly interpreted by political opponents.

Reid also suggested that these dynamics were among the reasons Vance could not be a political successor within the movement.

Her remarks drew further responses from commentators who said Reid did not have direct ties to the conservative movement and therefore lacked insight into its internal dynamics.

They argued that liberal commentators frequently mischaracterize conservative voters and viewpoints, often doing so from within media environments that have limited interaction with opposing political perspectives.

Reid’s segment also touched on personal claims about Vance’s family life, including a suggestion that he would leave his wife, Usha, for Erika Kirk. Critics dismissed the remark and characterized it as unserious commentary that did not merit further response.

Reactions to Reid’s statements reflected broader tensions in national political media, including disputes over how language is used in debates about immigration enforcement and public safety.

Those who objected to Reid’s comments said her framing fit into a pattern of creating new categories of offensive language, while others defended her view as part of an effort to reconsider terminology used in political discourse.

The exchange follows a series of high-profile disputes about immigration terminology, public safety concerns, and how political movements are characterized within national media outlets.

Leaked Texts: Dem Senator Brutally Mocks the Men and Women of the Democratic Party

Leaked text messages attributed to Senator Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) surfaced this week in an X post from Jack Posobiec of Human Events, raising questions inside Democratic circles about internal dissatisfaction with the party’s direction.

The screenshots, shared publicly on Monday, show what appear to be exchanges between Gallego and an unidentified recipient described as a “Republican,” with the senator offering blunt assessments of the party’s image and messaging.

Gallego became Arizona’s junior senator after winning the 2024 election against Kari Lake.

According to the post, Gallego received nearly 100,000 more votes than then–Vice President Kamala Harris on the same ballot, while Lake received almost 200,000 fewer votes than President Donald Trump in the state.

The screenshots begin with the unidentified individual encouraging Gallego to take a more prominent leadership role in the party, writing, “…I think its time that somebody with a cool head and a solid plan” rise to the top.

Gallego appeared to respond, “Oh man[,] have you met my party?”

A meme of Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-CT), known for her purple hair, followed.

The meme displayed DeLauro with the caption, “If erectile dysfunction had a face,” and the sender added, “This is how the world views many of them…”

Gallego allegedly replied, “They aren’t wrong.”

The exchange continued with the sender suggesting they could serve as Gallego’s “Republican consultant,” to which Gallego reportedly responded with further comments on party messaging and its public perception.

“We look like the not fun party.”

“Always telling and correcting people.”

“Not allowing no men to be men.”

“Women to be hot.”

“We used to be the party of se[x] drugs and rock and roll.”

“Now Dem women look like Dem men and Dem men look like women.”

Rep. DeLauro drew national attention last month during the government-shutdown fight, after releasing a video criticizing the GOP for taking recess while the Senate continued negotiations on an appropriations bill.

The video, which circulated widely, drew sharp reactions on social media.

The Kari Lake War Room responded on X after Posobiec posted the screenshots, questioning the identity of the individual Gallego was reportedly texting with.

The account wrote, “We wonder who the obsequious ‘Republican’ consultant is who is kissing this Marxist lunatic’s ass? We have some guesses…”

The conversation, if verified, would represent one of the most direct criticisms of Democratic Party identity and branding from within its own elected ranks.

The post continues to circulate on X as political figures and observers react to the statements attributed to Gallego and the implications they may have for internal Democratic dynamics moving forward.

Stefanik Demands Hochul Act After Mamdani Adds Cop Killer Supporter

Rep. Elise Stefanik challenged Gov. Kathy Hochul on Tuesday over the inclusion of Lumumba Bandele on Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani’s transition team, citing Bandele’s past support for individuals convicted of killing police officers in New York and New Jersey.

Mamdani selected Bandele to serve on the incoming administration’s Committee on Community Organizing, as reported by The New York Post.

Zohran Kwame Mamdani is a New York State Assemblymember and democratic socialist running for Mayor. New York, US – 04 July 2025

Stefanik, who is preparing for a potential run against Hochul in next year’s gubernatorial election, released a statement criticizing the appointment and calling on the governor to intervene.

“Kathy Hochul’s endorsed Mayor-elect, Zohran Mamdani, just picked a man who supports the killers of cops in New York and New Jersey to serve on his transition team,” she said in a statement to The Post.

Stefanik added, “Mamdani’s vision for New York is getting very clear, and it’s starting to look like a nightmare. Kathy Hochul must immediately call on Mamdani to fire Lumumba Bandele from his transition team.”

Bandele, currently associated with the Malcolm X Grassroots Movement, has a documented history of publicly aligning with individuals linked to the Black Liberation Army.

According to Workers World, he attended a March 2018 rally advocating for the release of Herman Bell. Bell, along with two others, was convicted of luring two NYPD officers to a Harlem housing project in 1971 and fatally shooting them.

Bell was granted parole in 2018 after the parole board stated he had demonstrated reform and remorse.

Bandele has also spoken about meeting several times with Assata Shakur, who was serving a life sentence for the killing of a New Jersey state trooper before escaping from prison and fleeing to Cuba, where she received political asylum.

Shakur died in September. Bandele discussed their relationship in a video earlier this month and offered praise for Shakur, as well as Bell, in remarks delivered on Veterans Day 2024.

In those Veterans Day comments, Bandele referred to Shakur and Bell as among the “many soldiers that served valiantly in the people’s military to defend our communities.”

The statement appeared multiple times across his public messaging, emphasizing Shakur and Bell’s roles within movements he has spoken about supporting.

The questions surrounding Bandele’s past associations have prompted criticism from elected officials, with Stefanik pressing Hochul to use her influence as a supporter of Mamdani’s mayoral bid.

Gov. Kathy Hochul tours the Homes for Heroes housing development in Tappan July 10, 2024.

The governor has not issued a response to Stefanik’s challenge.

The decision by Mamdani to place Bandele on the Committee on Community Organizing marks one of the first major flashpoints surrounding his transition process. The mayor-elect has not withdrawn the appointment or commented publicly on the matter since the concerns were raised.

The debate over Bandele’s role comes as the 2026 statewide political landscape begins to take shape, with Stefanik positioning herself as a challenger to Hochul. Bandele has continued serving on grassroots and activist projects tied to his current organization while also appearing in public discussions reflecting on his connections to figures such as Shakur and Bell.

Police Video Shows Ukrainian Refugee Murderer’s Erratic Rant Months Before Stabbing

Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police have released bodycam footage showing Decarlos Brown, the man charged with killing Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska, during a welfare check months before the fatal attack, as reported by The Gateway Pundit.

The footage, recorded in January 2025, captures Brown shouting at officers and insisting he was being controlled by an unknown foreign substance.

According to police, Brown called 911 multiple times that night. In the video, he repeatedly claims that a “man-made material” had been placed inside his body.

During the welfare check, an officer is heard asking Brown whether he had ever been diagnosed with an illness. Brown responded, “They tried to diagnose me with schizophrenia, but what the f*ck is that?”

When asked if he was taking any medication, he replied, “Man, no!” Brown then said, “Why would I take any type of medicine if my body got exposed to ‘man-made materials?’”

The footage shows Brown continuing to insist something foreign was affecting him, with officers attempting to determine whether he posed a danger to himself or others.

Police confirmed Brown was ultimately left in the care of medical personnel that night.

Several months later, in August, Brown fatally stabbed 35-year-old Iryna Zarutska on a Charlotte light rail train.

Zarutska, a Ukrainian refugee, was seated and scrolling through her phone when Brown attacked her, stabbing her multiple times as passengers looked on. After the stabbing, Brown walked away as a trail of blood remained on the floor of the train.

Records show Brown’s criminal history dates back to 2007. He had multiple prior arrests before the August homicide. Magistrate Judge Teresa Stokes later released Brown after the incident because he promised to return to court.

Following further review of the case, a federal grand jury returned an indictment last month, and the charges Brown now faces make him eligible for the death penalty.

The newly released bodycam footage offers additional insight into Brown’s state of mind earlier in the year and the series of police contacts leading up to the deadly attack on Zarutska.

Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police said the video was reviewed as part of the investigative timeline surrounding Brown’s interactions with law enforcement.

The case remains ongoing as federal prosecutors prepare to move forward with the charges filed in the grand jury indictment.

Authorities have requested additional information from anyone with relevant knowledge of Brown’s actions leading up to the August homicide.

MS NOW BUSTED: Karoline Leavitt Drops the Dime on Fake News Kash Patel Story

The White House rejected a report on Tuesday that claimed President Donald Trump is considering removing FBI Director Kash Patel.

The report, published by MS NOW, said Patel was “on thin ice” and that top FBI official Andrew Bailey was being considered as a replacement.

According to the outlet, unnamed individuals asserted that the president and senior aides had become frustrated with headlines related to Patel.

MS NOW reported that Patel had faced scrutiny over his management of bureau resources, including “his girlfriend’s security detail and use of a government jet,” and disputes with other officials aligned with the administration.

The outlet said three anonymous sources described private discussions about Patel’s future and indicated that President Trump had been weighing a possible change in the coming months.

Two of those sources were cited as saying that Bailey was viewed as a “logical replacement.”

The White House dismissed the report immediately.

Spokeswoman Abigail Jackson issued a statement rejecting MS NOW’s claims.

“President Trump has assembled the most talented and impressive Administration in history and they are doing an excellent job carrying out the President’s agenda. FBI Director Patel is a critical member of the President’s team and he is working tirelessly to restore integrity to the FBI,” Jackson said.

The report also prompted a response from White House Secretary Karoline Leavitt.

In a statement posted to X, Leavitt wrote, “This story is completely made up.” She said she was present in the Oval Office at the time MS NOW published its report and saw no indication of any concerns about Patel’s position. “In fact, when this Fake News published, I was in the Oval Office, where President Trump was meeting with his law enforcement team, including FBI Director Kash Patel,” she wrote.

Leavitt said she read the headline aloud to President Trump.

According to her post, the president responded with amusement.

She quoted him saying, “What? That’s totally false. Come on Kash, let’s take a picture to show them you’re doing a great job!” Leavitt closed her statement by urging the public, “Do not believe the Fake News!”

The report appeared to gain attention online prior to the White House statements. MS NOW attributed its claims to three individuals described as having direct knowledge of internal discussions.

The outlet said the individuals requested anonymity to discuss what they characterized as private deliberations inside the administration.

According to MS NOW, the concerns surrounding Patel included his use of bureau aircraft and a dispute involving security coverage.

The report also mentioned disagreements with other officials serving under President Trump.

The outlet said these developments had contributed to the alleged conversations about his continued leadership at the FBI.

Following the White House’s statements, no further details were provided by the administration regarding Patel’s status beyond Jackson’s and Leavitt’s remarks.

MS NOW did not issue an update or correction after the responses from the White House press office.

The outlet’s report remained posted and continued to circulate on social media platforms throughout the day.

The White House statements marked the administration’s firm denial of the claims attributed to unnamed sources.

The president’s comments relayed through Leavitt contradicted the notion that Patel’s position was in question.

The administration reaffirmed Patel’s role as FBI director and described him as an integral member of the president’s law enforcement team.

DOJ Worker Charged with Terrorism, Revealed Agent’s Name to Someone Issuing Death Threats

A United States Attorney’s Office employee in Brownsville, Texas was arrested in connection with an online death threat made during a federal immigration enforcement operation, according to a press release from the Cameron County District Attorney’s Office.

The arrest followed a joint investigation involving state and federal authorities.

Karen Olvera De Leon was taken into custody on Thursday, November 20, 2025, and booked into the Carrizales-Rucker Detention Center.

Her bond was set at $20,000. She was later released on a personal recognizance bond and is scheduled to appear in court at a later date.

Prosecutors said Olvera De Leon faces two felony charges under Texas law: one count of terrorism and one count of tampering with or fabricating physical evidence.

The terrorism charge is tied to allegations that she played a role in enhancing a death threat directed at a federal agent.

The tampering charge relates to efforts authorities say she took to conceal her involvement in the incident.

The case originated from events on June 9, when U.S. Border Patrol and Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents conducted an immigration enforcement operation in Brownsville.

The operation was recorded by bystanders who livestreamed the activity on social media.

Viewers commented in real time, and prosecutors said a male viewer posted a death threat aimed at one of the federal agents visible in the video.

A second online user — whom investigators allege was Olvera De Leon — responded by providing the full identity of the targeted agent.

Authorities said this included personal details and was directed at the individual who had made the threat.

Investigators described the exchange as an act of doxxing that escalated the severity of the threat.

The posting prompted a joint investigation, and authorities said the comment was traced back to Olvera De Leon.

Prosecutors allege she later attempted to delete or modify digital evidence related to her participation in the online discussion.

That activity led to the tampering charge included in the case.

The incident occurred during a period in which threats against border personnel had increased.

Authorities referenced a July 2025 shooting at a Border Patrol facility in McAllen, Texas, where a gunman wearing tactical gear opened fire before being shot and killed by responding officers.

The Cameron County District Attorney’s Office said the terrorism charge filed against Olvera De Leon is classified as a second-degree felony.

If convicted, she faces a possible sentence ranging from two to 20 years in prison.

Texas Strongman Event Erupts After Male Competitor Claims Women’s Title

The winner of the World’s Strongest Woman competition was stripped of ‘her’ title Tuesday after organizers said ‘she’ did not disclose that she was born male.

American competitor Jammie Booker was disqualified days after winning at the Official Strongman Games World Championship in Arlington, Texas, over the weekend.

Officials said Booker violated event rules requiring athletes to compete in the category matching their biological sex at birth.

“It appears that an athlete who is biologically male and who now identifies as female competed in the Women’s Open category,” organizers said in a social media statement.

“Official Strongman officials were unaware of this fact ahead of the competition and we have been urgently investigating since being informed.”

“Had we been aware, or had this been declared at any point before or during the competition, this athlete would not have been permitted to compete in the Woman’s Open category,” the statement continued.

Booker’s disqualification followed public attention on a video showing runner-up Andrea Thompson of Britain walking off the podium and expressing anger about the outcome.

Organizers said the standings will be adjusted following the disqualification.

“We are clear – competitors can only compete in the category for the biological sex recorded at birth,” the organization said.

“Official Strongman is inclusive and proud to run events which do not discriminate against athletes based on personal characteristics. Any athlete is welcome. But it is our responsibility to ensure fairness and ensure athletes are assigned to men or women’s categories based on whether they are recorded as male or female at birth.”
