Report: Afghan National Suspect in National Guardsmen Shooting; Watch: Donald Trump Addresses the Nation

By Breitbart. Rahmanullah Lakanwal, a 29-year-old Afghan national, has been identified as the suspect in the shooting of two national guardsmen in Washington, D.C.

Multiple law enforcement officials reported confirmed to CBS News that “The suspect in the shooting of the two National Guard members is 29-year-old Afghan national Rahmanullah Lakanwal.”

“The suspect used a handgun to carry out the attack, two law enforcement sources told CBS News,” it added.

Lakanwal reportedly entered the United States in 2021, most likely as a result of President Joe Biden’s botched pullout of American troops from Afghanistan.

Bill Melugin of Fox News also reported that Lakanwal’s permission to stay in the U.S. expired in September and he has been in the country illegally since then.

“Per multiple federal law enforcement sources, the suspect in custody for the shooting of two National Guard soldiers in DC is an Afghan national who entered the U.S. on 9/8/2021 as part of the Biden admin’s Operation Allies Welcome in the aftermath of the US withdrawal from Afghanistan,” reported Melugin.

Someone Leaked Steve Witkoff’s Communications With the Russians

Negotiations are ongoing on how to end the Russia-Ukraine war, and we have some Deep State clowns thinking they know what’s best. First, this isn’t the Russian collusion circus anymore. Second, what’s the story here: that Special Envoy Steve Witkoff speaks to…Russians? They happen to be a party that must agree to any terms to end the conflict (via Fox News):

U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff gave a senior Kremlin official tips on how to sell a Ukraine peace deal to President Donald Trump, a report said.

Witkoff spoke by phone to Russian President Vladimir Putin’s top foreign policy aide Yuri Ushakov on Oct. 14, advising him on how Putin should bring up the topic with the U.S. president, according to Bloomberg.

“We put a 20-point Trump plan together that was 20 points for peace, and I’m thinking maybe we do the same thing with you,” Witkoff was quoted by Bloomberg as saying, in reference to the Trump administration’s Gaza peace deal.

During the phone call, which lasted about five minutes, Witkoff said he had a deep respect for Putin and that he had informed Trump that he believed Russia has always wanted a peace deal for Ukraine, Bloomberg reported.

National Guardsmen Shooting Suspect Underwent Vetting Process And Approved For Asylum This Year

Chief law enforcement officer and intelligence analyst John Miller said the Afghan national accused of shooting two National Guardsmen on Wednesday went through multiple rounds of federal vetting before securing asylum in the United States earlier this year.

Authorities say the suspect in the shooting of two West Virginia National Guardsmen near the White House, Rahmanullah Lakanwal, is an Afghan national who entered the U.S. on humanitarian parole after fleeing the Taliban takeover. During a segment on “Anderson 360,” Miller revealed that the suspect first arrived from Afghanistan in 2021 and went through multiple vetting processes.

“What we know is that he comes here from Afghanistan. Now, this is a guy who’s been living in Washington state, not Washington DC, on the other end of the country. He comes here from Afghanistan in the summer of 2021,” Miller said. “Remember what that was like. Refugees fleeing Afghanistan. People had to be recommended by U.S. people on one end, vetted on this end by government background checks as far as they could do in Afghanistan, have sponsors and so on.”

The suspect, Miller said, eventually settled in Washington state and applied for asylum in December 2024, launching a separate, formal vetting process.

“He settled in Washington. He applies for asylum in December of 2024. Now he goes through another vetting process involving that. And he’s approved for asylum in April of this year under the Trump administration,” Miller said. “He comes in under the Biden administration. These checks are being done. I remember as a part of the Joint Terrorism Task Force in New York where we supplied people for that vetting process, it was a lot of pressure. There was a lot of people. They were being kept in military installations.” (Read more from “National Guardsmen Shooting Suspect Underwent Vetting Process And Approved For Asylum This Year” HERE)

Scott Jennings Delivers Sharp Retort When Asked About FBI Investigating Dems Who Told Military To Ignore Trump

Republican strategist Scott Jennings shut down a CNN anchor’s line of questioning in a discussion over whether the FBI should investigate the six Democratic lawmakers who urged the military to disregard President Donald Trump’s authority.

The Pentagon opened an inquiry into Democratic Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly on Monday after he joined five other lawmakers in a video telling U.S. troops they could refuse “illegal” orders from Trump. During a panel discussion on “The Arena,” Jennings said the real issue isn’t the inquiry — it’s that sitting members of Congress pushed a narrative suggesting the commander-in-chief was prepared to issue illegal orders.

“Democrats who are in power and there are Republicans who are making political videos, right? Are they going to use the FBI to investigate them too, right?” host Kasie Hunt asked Jennings.

“Plenty of Republicans are outraged about this. This video was clearly designed to try to create a narrative among the American people that the president had been or was about to give illegal orders. And it appears to me that it all has to do with what he’s doing with Venezuela,” Jennings said. “That seems to be what they’re mad about, although they did ask Elissa Slotkin on TV, and she cited a Hollywood movie to rationalize or justify what she had done. I don’t know what the truth is about these interviews, and I don’t know if they’ll ever be compelled to do it or not.”

Jennings said Republicans are furious that Democrats produced a video suggesting the commander-in-chief was prepared to issue illegal military orders. (Read more from “Scott Jennings Delivers Sharp Retort When Asked About FBI Investigating Dems Who Told Military To Ignore Trump” HERE)

The FBI Still Hasn’t Released Critical Details on Trump Shooter Thomas Crooks

Would-be assassin Thomas Crooks “extensively” searched the name and address of Rep. James Comer, King Charles and former FBI Director Christopher Wray before the 20-year-old shot Donald Trump at a Butler, Pa., rally in July 2024.

According to Comer, the Capitol Police contacted him three days after the attempted assassination and told him his name and other personal details had appeared in multiple internet searches conducted by Crooks.

Britain’s monarch and Wray also appeared multiple times in Crooks’ search history, says Comer, chairman of the House Oversight Committee.

He says the Capitol Police were alerted to the Comer connection by the FBI, which found the name of the Republican Kentucky congressman on Crooks’ devices after Crooks was shot dead by a Secret Service sniper. “I asked if any other members of Congress were on his search engine, and they said no,” Comer says.

“They said he had ‘extensively’ searched King Charles, Christopher Wray and me.”

But Comer never again heard from the Capitol Police — or the FBI.

“It’s kind of crazy they called and told me that, then never followed up,” says Comer. (Read more from “The FBI Still Hasn’t Released Critical Details on Trump Shooter Thomas Crooks” HERE)

Poll: Half Say They Want to Avoid Discussing Politics at Thanksgiving

Half of Americans say they want to avoid discussing politics at Thanksgiving, an Emerson College survey revealed.

The survey asked respondents, “If you are visiting with family or friends this Thanksgiving, are you looking forward to discussing politics, or are you hoping to avoid discussing politics?”

Just over half, 50.7 percent, said they are hoping to avoid discussing politics this Thanksgiving with friends or family. However, one-third said they are looking forward to discussing politics, followed by 16.3 percent who simply said they are not spending Thanksgiving with friends or family anyway.

The survey also asked, “When it comes to Thanksgiving, are you happy eating turkey as the main course, or would you rather eat something else?” Three-quarters said they are “happy eating turkey as main course,” while about one-quarter said they would prefer something else. . .

It coincides with the results of a recent YouGov survey, which found that 31 percent of Americans believe it is “very or somewhat likely they’ll discuss politics” at Thanksgiving. This includes 31 percent of Republicans, 26 percent of independents, and 37 percent of Democrats. However, like the Emerson poll, this one found that half say it is not very likely or not at all likely that they will discuss politics during the holiday.

Transgender Cult Leader Goes On Anti-Trump Tirade In Courtroom

The transgender “Zizians” cult leader refused to answer basic questions and ranted about President Donald Trump during his Monday arraignment on a gun charge, The Baltimore Banner reported.

Jack “Ziz” LaSota, whose February arrest in Maryland concluded a nationwide manhunt, said Trump wants “genocide” against transgender people when a judge asked if he understood his charges, according to the outlet. The Department of Justice (DOJ) charged LaSota with possessing firearms and ammunition as a fugitive from justice after police found him and two others allegedly hiding in a box truck with loads of weapons. This was one of several strange crimes linked to the so-called Zizians.

“Your government is currently going around scooping up brown people and disappearing them,” the 33-year-old reportedly said while shackled by the ankles. “I’m transgender, and the intentions of this regime towards transgender people are very clear: genocide.”

LaSota declared that the judge was part of “an organized crime ring” run by the “states united in slavery,” according to The Baltimore Banner. When asked to state his name, he reportedly replied, “Justice,” and for his age, “Timeless.”

“I have been born many times,” LaSota reportedly said when the court asked for his birth year. (Read more from “Transgender Cult Leader Goes On Anti-Trump Tirade In Courtroom” HERE)

Docs: Jack Smith Ignored Constitutional Standards To Target GOP Senators In Arctic Frost Probe

Special Counsel Jack Smith and his team effectively ignored existing constitutional standards to target more than half a dozen GOP senators as part of their Arctic Frost lawfare against Donald Trump, new records show.

Released on Tuesday by Republican Sens. Chuck Grassley of Iowa and Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, the new documents disclose communications between Smith’s team and Biden Justice Department (DOJ) officials about their plans to file subpoenas against more than eight GOP senators. As The Federalist previously reported, the subpoenas sought to acquire these senators’ cell phone “tolling data” from Jan. 4-7, 2021, as part of the investigation (Arctic Frost) that ultimately became Smith’s elector lawfare against Trump.

The unearthed records show May 2023 communications from Smith’s team about getting approval from the DOJ’s Public Integrity Section (PIN) to issue the subpoenas. As described by the agency, PIN “oversees the investigation and prosecution of all federal crimes affecting government integrity, including bribery of public officials, election crimes, and other related offenses.”

On May 17, 2023, the Special Counsel’s Office’s Molly Gaston emailed PIN Principal Deputy Chief John Keller about Smith and Co.’s plans to issue what she described as “narrowly-tailored subpoenas” to obtain the tolling data from the mentioned Republican senators and Rep. Mike Kelly, R-Penn.

In seeking PIN’s consultation on the matter, Gaston claimed the special counsel’s bid to obtain the phone data was based on their alleged findings indicating that Trump and Rudy Giuliani “reached out to these Members to ask or pressure them to delay the certification of the electoral college vote — including, in some cases, on the night of January 6, in the hour before Congress resumed the Joint Session after the attack on the Capitol.” (Read more from “Docs: Jack Smith Ignored Constitutional Standards To Target GOP Senators In Arctic Frost Probe” HERE)

President Trump Just Made a Bombshell Announcement About Biden’s ‘Invalid’ Pardons

President Donald Trump dropped an explosive bombshell on Tuesday, revealing that former President Joe Biden may not have actually pardoned two turkeys on his last Thanksgiving in office.

While addressing reporters at the White House, President Trump announced his turkey pardons for this year. Then, he dropped the surprise announcement.

“Before going any further, I want to make an important announcement because you remember last year, after a thorough and very rigorous investigation by Pam Bondi and all of the people at Department of Justice, the FBI, the CIA, the White House Counsel’s Office, and the Department of Everything…Into a terrible situation caused by a man named Sleepy Joe Biden.”

The president continued, explaining that Biden “used an autopen last year for the turkey’s pardon” and that he has “the official duty to determine, and I have determined that last year’s turkey pardons are totally invalid, as are the pardons of about every other person that was pardoned.”

Trump did acknowledge that Biden’s son, Hunter, was rightly pardoned by the former president, but that “the rest of them are all invalid” and that the turkeys’ pardons were “hereby null and void.”

World’s Strongest Woman Winner Stripped of Title After Organizers Discovered She Was Born a Man

The controversial winner of the World’s Strongest Woman competition was stripped of her title Tuesday after organizers claimed the hulking American never told them she was born a man.

Jammie Booker was disqualified just days after she destroyed the competition at the Official Strongman Games World Championship in Arlington, Texas, over the weekend.

Organizers said Booker, from Philadelphia, violated the contest’s rules, which clearly stipulate that athletes must compete in the category that aligns with 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 announcing the decision.

“Official Strongman officials were unaware of this fact ahead of the competition and we have been urgently investigating since being informed.” (Read more from “World’s Strongest Woman Winner Stripped of Title After Organizers Discovered She Was Born a Man” HERE)
