Questions Linger on How Afghan Terrorist Was

The image is beginning to develop into clearer on how a supposedly “vetted” Afghan who aided the CIA during missions abroad, then went on to commit a terrorist act on our shores, fell through the cracks.

So far, President Donald Trump and his administration has taken steps to safeguard another heinous assault from taking place, just like the one perpetrated this week in Washington, D,C., against two National Guardsmen, one of whom (Andrew Wolfe) continues to combat for his life at this hour.

As we beforehand wrote, 20-year-old Sarah Beckstrom handed away from her accidents, one thing that we had a bittersweet preview of from her dad on Thanksgiving Day.

Pres. Trump appears to have already began the ball rolling on correcting a lot of the chaos that occurred under former Pres. Joe Biden, by stating on Friday afternoon that no directive signed in Biden’s identify during his presidential time period utilizing the auto-pen is reliable.

My colleague Rusty Weiss wrote earlier in the day that the president has also announced in a Truth Social post that the U.S. will “permanently pause migration from all Third World Countries to allow the U.S. system to fully recover, terminate all of the millions of Biden illegal admissions … and remove anyone who is not a net asset to the United States, or is incapable of loving our Country.”

That was just half of what Trump wrote, of course, but it and the other new directive dovetail completely into the search for solutions on how the terrorist (I’d favor not to use his identify) was in a position to get access to our homeland at all.

As I discussed up top, questions continue to linger over the Afghan man’s presence in the U.S. Someone who is now offering some solutions is the Director of the National Counterterrorism Center under Pres. Trump, Joe Kent. He shared in an X post that a measuring stick was used by the Biden administration that “only vetted [him] to serve as a soldier to fight against the Taliban, AQ, & ISIS IN Afghanistan.”

The barbaric terrorist assault in Washington D.C. by an Afghan terrorist has spurred righteous outrage over the Biden admin’s coverage of importing people hostile to our nation. 

It is true that the terrorist who performed the assault in D.C. was “vetted” by the intelligence neighborhood, however he was only vetted to serve as a soldier to combat against the Taliban, AQ, & ISIS IN Afghanistan, he was NOT vetted for his suitability to come to America and live among us as a neighbor, combine into our communities, or finally develop into an American citizen.

He continued, explaining that as the chaotic Afghanistan withdrawal occurred, Biden’s people didn’t use “previous vetting standards applied to Special Immigrant Visas and any common sense vetting or concern for Americans.”

During Biden’s disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan, his administration negligently used the vetting customary described above as the usual for being introduced immediately into the U.S., foregoing earlier vetting requirements utilized to Special Immigrant Visas and any common sense vetting or concern for Americans. 

…

Incidents like this aren’t remoted—they’re the predictable final result of prioritizing pace and quantity over security. As we transfer ahead, we must commit to a strengthened and complete vetting and elimination course of to safeguard our homeland and guarantee only those who actually align with American values are admitted, to stop future tragedies.

And what was the “result” of the mismanagement of vetting under Biden, whether or not in Afghanistan or at the border with Mexico? The reply Director Kent provides ought to be eye-opening and terrifying for all Americans: (emphasis mine)

As a end result, over 85k Afghans—including people with backgrounds related to this shooter— have been quickly admitted into our nation without the rigorous vetting that has protected us in the past. And that’s just Afghans; broader immigration from Muslim majority nations & areas surged, with over 2 million people getting into during Biden’s time period, often with minimal scrutiny amid document border crossings. This is a lethal mixture.

It being a lethal mixture will not be an understatement. Just ask the households of the National Guardsmen, who we should always keep in our prayers this weekend. In an update to his post on Friday afternoon, Kent did not mince phrases on “why the D,C, attacks happened”:

Vetting a foreigner in a struggle zone to decide if he’ll combat a common enemy is vastly different than vetting a foreigner to see if he’s appropriate to live in our nation.

Yet under Biden tens of 1000’s of Afghans have been introduced to America utilizing the struggle zone vetting customary.… https://t.co/5v4RnyTMdC

This is why the DC assault occurred. The resolution is rounding up everybody Biden let in & deporting them immediately.

Former National Security Adviser during Trump 45, Mike Flynn, took to his X account on Friday, seconding the “option” above that the counterterrorism director lays out to repair the dire immigration/national security issue: basically, we’re going to have to deport them all from the U.S., period.

I’m for this option!@actualDonaldTrump @JDVance ??? https://t.co/YmZLBFkzP0
