11. May she rest in peace

Sarah Beckstrom, a 20-year-old U.S. Army specialist, passed away today from wounds she received when a gunman ambushed her and her colleague while they served America in the National Guard yesterday.

24 year-old Staff Sgt. Andrew Wolfe of U.S. Air Force remains in critical condition.

This is a tragedy on so many levels.

The suspect in the shooting, Rahmanullah Lakanwal, age 29, entered the USA in September 2021 under humanitarian parole via Biden's Operation Allies Welcome program and was vetted.

If you haven't OD on Kool-aid you should recall back in 2021, Trump and his MAGA GOP were extremely critical of Joe Biden for what they called leaving behind our allies in Afghanistan.

Lakanwal should have been vetted again under the TRUMP administration and was granted asylum under the TRUMP administration in April 2025.

Trump and Vance want Americans to now hate people in America from Afghanistan.

Hate doesn't stop murders, gunfire or help people with in any way, shape or form

Hate causes more of the same.
