A New York Times writer says the quiet part out loud. Suddenly that white supremacist Great Replacement Theory might have some traction.
A terrorist attack and major fraud scandal forces the hand of the White House. Thank God!
And none of the major news story matter, because Trump said the word “retarded”.
They Are Telling Us!
Terrorism Is Rearing Its Ugly Head
According to Perplexity:
Two members of the West Virginia National Guard were shot in what officials describe as a targeted attack near the White House in Washington, D.C., on November 26, 2025. One of them, 20-year-old U.S. Army Spc. Sarah Beckstrom, died from her wounds, while 24-year-old Air Force Staff Sgt. Andrew Wolfe remains hospitalized in serious/critical condition but has shown small signs of improvement, such as responding to a nurse and moving his toes.
What happened
- The shooting occurred in downtown Washington near the Farragut West Metro station, about two blocks from the White House, while the Guard members were on “high visibility” patrol duty.
- Officials say the attacker walked up to the two Guard members and opened fire at close range, striking both in the head in what has been described as an ambush or targeted attack.
Victims’ status
- Spc. Sarah Beckstrom, 20, of the West Virginia National Guard, died from her injuries the day after the shooting; she had been deployed to D.C. as part of the federal security mission.
- Staff Sgt. Andrew Wolfe, 24, also from the West Virginia Guard, remains in serious or critical condition; state officials report he has been able to give a thumbs-up and wiggle his toes, which they call encouraging but not yet a guarantee of recovery.
Suspect and motive
- The suspect, identified as 29-year-old Afghan national Rahmanullah (or Rahmanullah/Rahmanullah) Lakanwal, was wounded when another Guard member returned fire and is in custody facing charges including first-degree murder and assault with intent to kill.
- Reporting indicates he traveled from Washington state to D.C. and may have been experiencing a personal and financial crisis; investigators are still probing his exact motive, including his background as a member of a CIA-backed Afghan “Zero Unit.”
Political and policy fallout
- President Donald Trump and other federal officials have characterized the attack as a targeted assault on U.S. forces and used it to justify new or tightened immigration and asylum restrictions, particularly affecting migrants from certain countries, including Afghanistan.
- The administration has also ordered additional National Guard deployments to the capital in response to the shooting, expanding the existing security presence that had already put hundreds of Guard members on patrol in D.C.

It’s Their Culture
According to Perplexity:
There have been several large fraud cases in Minnesota in recent years in which many of the defendants are of Somali origin, but they involve specific groups and programs, not “Somalis” as a whole community, and claims about terrorism links remain largely unproven.
What fraud has actually been charged?
- Federal prosecutors charged 47 defendants in the “Feeding Our Future” case, accusing them of stealing about 250 million dollars from COVID-era child nutrition programs in what DOJ called the largest such fraud in the nation; some defendants were Somali Minnesotans, but not all.
- A New York Times investigation reports that over the last five years, additional schemes have targeted Minnesota’s broader social services system (including housing and autism services), with dozens of people charged and the vast majority of defendants in those particular cases being of Somali descent.
Scale and political fallout
- Conservative outlets and Republican politicians now routinely describe “billions” in taxpayer losses tied to welfare and social-services fraud on Governor Tim Walz’s watch, and Donald Trump has used this to argue Minnesota has become a hub for fraudulent activity.
- Minnesota officials have responded by tightening oversight and stressing that Minnesota still runs large, generally well‑regarded safety‑net programs, which can be attractive targets for organized fraud regardless of the perpetrators’ ethnicity.
Terrorism and Al‑Shabab claims
- City Journal and allied commentators allege that some of the fraud money was routed to Al‑Shabab, prompting GOP calls for a federal probe into possible terrorism financing links.
- Minnesota media and former U.S. Attorney Andy Luger note that in the major fraud prosecutions completed so far, the government has not presented solid evidence that funds were directed to Al‑Shabab, describing existing evidence for that claim as scant.
Voter fraud vs. welfare fraud
How to interpret “massive fraud by Somalis”
- Law enforcement and courts have documented large‑dollar fraud schemes in which many participants happen to be Somali Minnesotans, reflecting how specific networks exploited programs that serve, employ, or are trusted by that community.
- Officials and Somali community leaders emphasize that blaming “Somalis” collectively is inaccurate and stigmatizing, since most Somali Minnesotans were neither accused nor involved, and many have helped expose and push back against these schemes.
If you want, further detail can be broken down by specific case (e.g., Feeding Our Future vs. autism‑therapy or housing schemes) or by what is actually in court records versus what is only being alleged in political rhetoric.

Is This Really What’s Important?
This Needs to Happen!
According to the Daily Wire:
In a late-night Thanksgiving message that came hours after news that a National Guard soldier shot by an Afghan refugee had died, President Donald Trump promised not only to immediately “pause migration from all Third World Countries,” but also to undertake major actions that he says will reverse the immigration crisis plaguing the country.
In the blistering holiday message, Trump said the United States had been “divided, disrupted, carved up, murdered, beaten, mugged, and laughed at” for its “just plain STUPID” approach to immigration. He made a series of promises aimed at both stopping the flow of new immigrants, and both cutting off benefits to and removing certain populations that are already here.
“I 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, including those signed by Sleepy Joe Biden’s Autopen, and remove anyone who is not a net asset to the United States, or is incapable of loving our Country,” Trump pledged.
The president also promised to “end all Federal benefits and subsidies to noncitizens of our Country, denaturalize migrants who undermine domestic tranquility, and deport any Foreign National who is a public charge, security risk, or non-compatible with Western Civilization.”
The nation’s generosity, Trump argued, has been weaponized against it, allowing a vast foreign-born population to overwhelm the country and inflict deep social harm.
Trump said the United States now hosts a “foreign population” of 53 million, citing census data, and charged that many recent arrivals depend on taxpayer-supported welfare programs while coming from “failed nations, or from prisons, mental institutions, gangs, or drug cartels.”
