Here’s what keeps me up at night: The very people protecting our capital are getting ambushed by individuals who slipped through Biden’s security theater. While American families pray this weekend, we’re facing the brutal truth about what happens when bureaucrats prioritize optics over actual vetting.
Trump’s smart move – deploying National Guard troops to clean up DC’s crime mess – just took a devastating hit. But here’s where the story gets personal, and why it should matter to every American who values service and sacrifice.
From ‘The Post Millennial’:
President Donald Trump said Staff Sergeant Andrew Wolfe remains in critical condition after being shot in Washington, DC last week, telling reporters aboard Air Force One that Wolfe is “fighting for his life.” Trump said he spoke with Wolfe’s family and described his parents as “devastated.” “Andrew is fighting for his life. And his parents are unbelievably great people, highly religious people, and they’re praying,” Trump said.

A President’s Personal Touch
This devastating update from President Trump reveals not just the gravity of Staff Sergeant Wolfe’s condition, but also the commander-in-chief’s personal investment in our service members’ wellbeing. While Wolfe battles for survival, Trump has maintained direct contact with both affected families, offering comfort to parents whose children were targeted while defending our capital.
The attack that left Wolfe critical and claimed the life of 20-year-old Sarah Beckstrom on Thanksgiving evening carries particular weight. Think about this: Jason Wolfe, Andrew’s father, serves as a Berkeley County deputy sheriff. His son joined the National Guard in 2019 to continue that tradition of protecting and serving. Two generations of service. One family’s commitment to keeping Americans safe.
Faith Sustaining a Family
Rep. Riley Moore laid it out plainly: Andrew “wanted to follow in that footsteps and serve his nation as a National Guardsman.” This isn’t just about one wounded warrior. It’s about an American family whose dedication to law and order spans generations, now shattered by an Afghan migrant who entered during the Biden administration’s catastrophic withdrawal.
The alleged shooter, Rahmanullah Lakanwal, ironically once supported U.S. Special Forces in Afghanistan. Yes, you read that right – he once helped us. Yet he allegedly drove across the country from Washington state to ambush the very Americans his countrymen once protected. He abandoned his wife and five children for this mission. This betrayal underscores something darker than simple violence. This is what happens when vetting becomes a checkbox exercise instead of actual security.
As Trump noted, Wolfe’s “highly religious” parents believe in prayer’s power. They’re asking all Americans to join them. West Virginia Governor Patrick Morrisey has called for statewide prayers. The Berkeley County community rallies around their deputy sheriff and his critically wounded son. This is how real America responds to tragedy – not with politics, but with faith, unity, and unwavering support for those who serve.
The question isn’t whether we’ll learn from this preventable tragedy. It’s whether we’ll act before another family pays the price for Washington’s recklessness.
Key Takeaways
- Trump personally consoled the families of guardsmen attacked by Afghan migrant
- Staff Sergeant Wolfe follows father’s law enforcement legacy in service
- The attacker entered during Biden’s rushed Afghanistan evacuation without proper vetting
- West Virginia community unites in prayer for wounded warrior’s recovery
