Blood on the Potomac: The Deadly Cost of Biden's Unvetted Afghan Floodgates, By Charles Taylor (Florida)
On the eve of America's Thanksgiving 2025, as families gathered to give thanks for the blessings of liberty, two brave National Guardsmen, defenders of that very liberty, lay bleeding in the shadow of the White House, victims of a cold-blooded ambush by an Afghan national imported straight from Joe Biden's bungled Operation Allies Welcome. Rahmanullah Lakanwal, 29, a visa-overstayer who waltzed into the U.S. in September 2021 amid the chaotic Kabul airlift, allegedly shouted "Allahu Akbar" as he unloaded a revolver into a female Guardsman's chest, stole her sidearm, and executed a point-blank headshot before nicking another in the neck. A third hero subdued the monster, but not before the streets of D.C., already a war zone of migrant-fuelled crime, echoed with the horror of imported rage.
This isn't some isolated tragedy; it's the bleeding edge of a national security haemorrhage. Biden's mass importation of tens of thousands of unvetted Afghans wasn't humanitarianism, it was a Trojan horse, smuggling in potential threats under the guise of compassion. As President Trump thundered from Mar-a-Lago, calling it a "monstrous ambush" born of the "single greatest national security threat" from open borders, we're forced to confront the grim maths: How many more American lives must be sacrificed on the altar of unchecked immigration before we slam the gates shut? In this deep dive, I'll autopsy the shooting, expose the rot of Operation Allies Welcome, and lay bare the cascading negatives of mass migration that turn allies into assassins. Because if we don't learn from Lakanwal's blood-soaked rampage, the next holiday feast could be interrupted by sirens.
Farragut Square, mere blocks from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, a five-minute stroll from the Oval Office where Biden's folly was greenlit. That's where it went down on November 26, around dusk, as West Virginia National Guard troops patrolled under Trump's executive order to tame D.C.'s migrant-driven chaos. These weren't faceless grunts; they were everyday Americans, perhaps dads fresh from drill weekends, moms juggling deployments with PTA meetings, deployed after courts briefly halted the mission, only for Trump to double down with 500 more boots, swelling their ranks to over 2,500.
Lakanwal, holed up in Bellingham, Washington, after his 2021 arrival, trekked 3,000 miles to D.C. for this "targeted" hit, per the FBI's early probe into terrorism ties. Eyewitnesses heard at least seven shots crack the crisp autumn air, one describing the pandemonium: "I saw him go down fighting, but those Guardsmen... they didn't stand a chance." The female victim, shot twice in vital zones, and her comrade, grazed fatally close, were rushed to GWU Hospital in critical condition, alive, but a razor's edge from the morgue. Lakanwal? Wounded non-fatally, now rotting in custody as feds sift his motives, from jihadist grudges to personal vendettas against the "infidel" forces he once brushed shoulders with in Afghanistan.
X exploded with raw fury: "This is Biden's America — import the Third World, become the Third World," one vet posted, echoing Trump's 2021 prophecy that Afghan "refugees" would breed terrorists. Conspiracies swirled too, psyops? Right-wing setups? But the facts scream louder: A lone wolf, radicalised on U.S. soil, courtesy of lax vetting. No coincidences in a city locked down tighter than Fort Knox.
Launched in the ashes of Biden's 2021 Afghan surrender, remember those gut-wrenching airport stampedes? Operation Allies Welcome airlifted over 76,000 Afghans stateside, a "humanitarian" hail Mary sold as repaying "allies" who aided our 20-year war. Noble on paper, but the execution? A vetting farce that Inspector Generals have roasted for years.
DHS's own 2022 IG report flagged Afghans "not fully vetted," posing "national security risks." DOD audits revealed ~50 resettled with "significant security concerns," while whistleblowers spilled to Sens. Hawley and Johnson that nearly 400 database-flagged threats slipped through. Not all were interpreters; many were randoms mobbing C-17s, per Trump's prescient August 2021 warning: "They're going to be terrorists." Fast-forward: A 2024 Oklahoma plot by another evacuee, IED placers resettled in 2023, and now Lakanwal, whose status Biden extended via legislation, turning D.C. into a kill zone.
By 2025, probes like Sen. Grassley's FBI grilling expose the rot: Mental health craters (PTSD rampant among kids), legal limbo for 80,000-90,000 arrivals, and zero accountability for the rushed mandates. Trump's vow to "re-examine every alien" from this pipeline? It's not revenge, it's retroactive sanity. But why stop at Afghans? This is the blueprint for Biden's 20 million "unknowns" flooding the border, many a lottery ticket for the next Lakanwal.
This shooting isn't an outlier, it's exhibit A in the mass migration indictment. Security? Shredded. Vetting for 76,000 Afghans was a joke; scale to 10 million border crossers yearly, and it's national suicide. Past evacuees plotted Election Day attacks; others harboured Taliban ties. FBI's 2025 audit slams the feds for fumbling evacuee handling, a pattern repeating with cartels and jihadists alike.
Economically? A black hole. Resettlement guzzles billions, $2.5 billion initial tab, ballooning with welfare, healthcare for trauma-scarred arrivals (PTSD rates sky-high). Afghan immigrants surged 10x since 2010, straining schools, hospitals, and jobs in places like Minnesota and Texas, where locals foot the bill for "diversity" dividends that never pay out.
Culturally? Erosion. Mental health epidemics among evacuees breed isolation, radicalisation, echoed in Lakanwal's cross-country jihad jaunt. And legally? Suspended resettlement under Trump was blocked by judges; now, with bills like Afghan Adjustment dangling permanent status, we're codifying the chaos.
The verdict? Mass immigration doesn't enrich, it endangers. From fiscal drains to terror imports, it's a policy of self-sabotage, turning heartland havens into no-go zones.
Trump's Palm Beach address wasn't politicking, it was prophecy fulfilled. "Disastrous" Biden let in "20 million unvetted foreigners," he roared, pledging military-backed deportations for threats like Lakanwal. CNN's deflection, blaming Trump's NG deployment, reeks of desperation, as X erupts: "He had no business here. Deport 'em all." Even whispers of Lakanwal's U.S. military "sponsors" under Trump-era amnesty add irony, but the buck stops with Biden's intake.
What now? Demand Congress gut Operation Allies Welcome remnants. Rally for Trump's mass deportation machine, military if needed, as patriots chant. Support the Guardsmen: GoFundMes, prayers, votes. And flood X with truth: #DeportTheThreats.
