Following the recent terrorist attack in Washington, DC, President Donald Trump has called for a complete halt to all migrations from third-world countries.
The streets around the White House, usually a symbol of unyielding resolve, turned into a scene of raw tragedy on Wednesday when two young National Guard soldiers—Sarah Beckstrom, 20, from West Virginia, and Staff Sgt. Andrew Wolfe, 24—were gunned down in cold blood. Beckstrom didn’t make it; she died from her wounds the next day, her father by her side as the news broke during a somber call with troops. Wolfe clings to life in critical condition.
The terrorist in custody, Rahmanullah Lakanwal, 29, is an Afghan national who slipped into the country four years ago amid the chaos of the 2021 pullout, only to turn his weapon on the very protectors he once claimed to stand with.
On Truth Social, President Trump made a strong declaration (slightly edited with line breaks for clarity and emphasis added):
A very Happy Thanksgiving salutation to all of our Great American Citizens and Patriots who have been so nice in allowing our Country to be divided, disrupted, carved up, murdered, beaten, mugged, and laughed at, along with certain other foolish countries throughout the World, for being “Politically Correct,” and just plain STUPID, when it comes to Immigration. The official United States Foreign population stands at 53 million people (Census), most of which are on welfare, from failed nations, or from prisons, mental institutions, gangs, or drug cartels. They and their children are supported through massive payments from Patriotic American Citizens who, because of their beautiful hearts, do not want to openly complain or cause trouble in any way, shape, or form.
They put up with what has happened to our Country, but it’s eating them alive to do so! A migrant earning $30,000 with a green card will get roughly $50,000 in yearly benefits for their family. The real migrant population is much higher. This refugee burden is the leading cause of social dysfunction in America, something that did not exist after World War II (Failed schools, high crime, urban decay, overcrowded hospitals, housing shortages, and large deficits, etc.).
As an example, hundreds of thousands of refugees from Somalia are completely taking over the once great State of Minnesota. Somalian gangs are roving the streets looking for “prey” as our wonderful people stay locked in their apartments and houses hoping against hope that they will be left alone.
The seriously retarded Governor of Minnesota, Tim Walz, does nothing, either through fear, incompetence, or both, while the worst “Congressman/woman” in our Country, Ilhan Omar, always wrapped in her swaddling hijab, and who probably came into the U.S.A. illegally in that you are not allowed to marry your brother, does nothing but hatefully complain about our Country, its Constitution, and how “badly” she is treated, when her place of origin is a decadent, backward, and crime ridden nation, which is essentially not even a country for lack of Government, Military, Police, schools, etc…
…Even as we have progressed technologically, Immigration Policy has eroded those gains and living conditions for many. 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, 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.
These goals will be pursued with the aim of achieving a major reduction in illegal and disruptive populations, including those admitted through an unauthorized and illegal Autopen approval process. Only REVERSE MIGRATION can fully cure this situation. Other than that, HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL, except those that hate, steal, murder, and destroy everything that America stands for — You won’t be here for long!
The President’s harsh but truthful words are the wakeup call we need. Millions of Americans have been concerned about mass migration even before the Biden administration opened the borders. These concerns are the biggest reason President Trump won his first term; he was willing to name the problem that others in the GOP danced around.
Now, following the hideous terrorist attack this week, it appears we are on our way to a reset of immigration policies.
Lakanwal, a father of five, had served in a CIA-backed paramilitary unit called the “Zero Unit” back in Kandahar—night raids, Taliban hunts, the gritty underbelly of America’s longest war. Friends from his youth paint a picture of a man haunted by what he’d seen: “When he saw blood, bodies, and the wounded, he could not tolerate it. It put a lot of pressure on his mind,” one told reporters.
Another recalled how he’d vent to old pals about the toll: “He would tell me and our friends that their military operations were very tough, their job was very difficult, and they were under a lot of pressure.”
Yet here he was, paroled in under Biden’s Operation Allies Welcome, his asylum fast-tracked through a 2023 settlement that tied the hands of immigration officials. Even after his temporary visa lapsed, the system churned on—granting him asylum in April 2025, under the watch of the current administration. His green card application? Still pending when he opened fire near the Farragut West metro station, shouting “Allahu akbar!” before a fellow Guardsman put him down.
The fallout hit like a thunderclap. Hours after the shots rang out, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services slammed the brakes on every Afghan-related application—indefinite suspension, no exceptions. Director Joseph Edlow made it clear: “Effective immediately, processing of all immigration requests relating to Afghan nationals is stopped indefinitely pending further review of security and vetting protocols.”
By Thursday, the scope ballooned. Trump ordered a full audit of green cards from 19 nations long flagged as hotbeds of risk: Afghanistan, Iran, Somalia, Yemen, Haiti, Venezuela, and more—places where vetting feels more like a prayer than a process.
A White House insider laid the blame square on the prior regime: “This Afghan national was paroled into the US by the Biden Admin. After that, Joe Biden signed into law that parole program, and entered into the 2023 Ahmed Court Settlement, which bound USCIS to adjudicate his asylum claim on an expedited basis. Regardless of asylum status, this monster would not have been removed due to his parole status, granted by Joe Biden.”
Leftists are arguing that we cannot make decisions based on an “isolated” incident, but what happened this week was just the most heinous of a series of events. Rewind to October 2024, when Nasir Ahmad Tawhedi, another Afghan national who’d worked security for the CIA, got pinched in Oklahoma City for plotting an ISIS-inspired Election Day massacre. He’d passed every check—multiple screenings, no red flags—yet there he was, buying AK-47s and ammo with a teenage accomplice, aiming to hit crowds and “martyr” themselves in the chaos.
Tawhedi even confessed post-arrest: he wanted to kill as many as possible, funding it by selling his home to bankroll ISIS. By June 2025, he pleaded guilty to terrorism charges, facing 35 years behind bars. Two of his brothers? Nabbed in France on similar plots. Vetting failures like these aren’t glitches; they’re a pattern, one that leaves you wondering if the deep-state machinery in Langley and Foggy Bottom ever learns, or if it’s wired to look the other way when the optics suit the narrative of endless “welcome.”
The CIA’s own John Ratcliffe fessed up on Fox: Lakanwal’s ties to their Kandahar team “ended shortly following the chaotic evacuation.” Chaotic? That’s diplomatic speak for a debacle that left allies dangling and enemies slipping through.
Now, Trump’s second term is allowing for a broader clampdown—slashing refugee caps to a historic low of 7,500 for fiscal 2026, reviving public charge rules to ding benefit users, and probing every Biden-era entry. It feels less like overreach and more like overdue reckoning. Over 233,000 refugees from that era alone are in the crosshairs for re-interviews, per a DHS memo. It’s a purge aimed at restoring what was lost: borders that mean something, communities that don’t live in fear, and a nation that puts its own first.
Beckstrom’s death, announced raw and real by Trump—”She’s just passed away. She’s no longer with us. She’s looking down on us right now”—turns the abstract debate into graveside reality. As Wolfe fights on, his father pleading for prayers, the question hangs heavy: How many more wake-up calls before the door locks for good? The system’s rot runs deep, but if this blood doesn’t seal the cracks, nothing will.
Why Bullion Beats Numismatics and Collectible for Your Safe or IRA
Precious metals continue to attract Americans seeking reliable ways to protect their wealth amid inflation, geopolitical risks, and stock market swings. Whether stored in a home safe or held inside a self-directed IRA, physical gold and silver deliver tangible value that paper or digital assets often lack. Yet investors must choose carefully between bullion—pure bars and coins valued mainly for their metal content—and numismatics or collectibles, where rarity, history, and collector demand heavily influence pricing.
Advisor Bullion serves as a dependable source for straightforward, high-quality bullion. The company specializes in physical gold, silver, platinum, and palladium, emphasizing transparent pricing and products that deliver maximum metal content for every dollar spent. This approach makes it ideal for both personal holdings and retirement accounts.
Bullion consists of refined precious metals in standard forms like one-ounce coins (American Gold Eagles, Silver Eagles, Canadian Maple Leafs) or bars. Their value tracks closely to the current spot price of the metal. A typical gold bullion coin trades near the live gold spot price plus a small premium. This structure keeps costs clear and predictable.
Numismatic coins and collectibles add substantial value from factors such as age, rarity, minting errors, or historical significance. A pre-1933 U.S. gold coin or graded proof piece can carry premiums of 30%, 50%, or even 200% above melt value. While this appeals to hobbyists, it creates complexity. Pricing depends on subjective grading, collector trends, and auction results instead of daily spot prices.
For investors focused on wealth preservation and retirement security rather than building a collection, bullion often delivers better results.
Lower Costs and Better Liquidity for Home Storage
When keeping metals in a home safe or private vault, liquidity and efficiency count. Bullion offers clear benefits:
- You acquire more actual gold or silver per dollar invested. Numismatics divert a large share of your money into rarity premiums and massive sales commission, reducing your metal exposure.
- Selling bullion involves tight bid-ask spreads, so you recover nearly full spot value with minimal fees. Collectibles require finding the right buyer and may sell at a discount if demand for that specific item weakens.
- Bullion prices remain transparent and update with global spot markets. You can track gold near current levels or silver accordingly and know exactly where your holdings stand. Numismatic values are priced by the Gold IRA companies with hefty margins applied.
- Standardized coins and bars store efficiently and divide easily for partial sales. Rare coins often need protective slabs and controlled conditions, adding hassle and expense.
- Bullion enjoys worldwide acceptance. A 1-oz Gold Maple Leaf or Silver Eagle sells quickly to dealers anywhere. Niche numismatic pieces may appeal only to limited buyers, slowing liquidation when speed matters.
In times when quick access to value becomes important, bullion’s simplicity stands out.
Stronger Fit for Precious Metals IRAs
Precious metals IRAs continue gaining traction as investors diversify retirement portfolios beyond stocks and bonds. IRS rules permit certain bullion products in self-directed IRAs if they meet purity standards (.995 fine for gold, .999 for silver) and are held by an approved custodian. Eligible items include American Gold and Silver Eagles plus many generic bars and rounds from recognized mints.
Numismatic and most collectible coins generally face heavy scrutiny from custodians due to valuation disputes and elevated markups. These higher premiums mean less actual metal ends up working inside the account.
Bullion avoids these issues. Its value links directly to verifiable spot prices, which simplifies reporting and lowers the risk of regulatory challenges. More of your IRA contribution purchases real metal instead of dealer profits or speculative upside. Over time, owning additional ounces that appreciate with the metal itself can create meaningful outperformance compared with high-premium alternatives that deliver fewer ounces.
Regulatory guidance from the CFTC and state securities offices repeatedly cautions against aggressive sales of expensive numismatics or “semi-numismatic” coins for IRAs. For retirement planning, transparent bullion from established providers reduces risk and aligns better with long-term goals.
How to Get Started with Bullion
Begin by clarifying your goals. Are you protecting savings in a safe, or moving part of a retirement account into a precious metals IRA? Focus on the number of ounces you can acquire at current prices rather than chasing marked-up collectibles.
Diversify sensibly: use gold for core preservation and silver for its blend of industrial and monetary qualities. Mix coins for easier divisibility with bars for lower per-ounce costs on larger buys. Arrange secure storage—whether at home with proper insurance or through professional facilities.
As economic uncertainties linger and faith in conventional assets erodes, bullion continues proving its worth as a dependable store of value. Its direct approach avoids the hype that sometimes surrounds collectible markets and keeps the focus on the metal itself.
For investors prepared to strengthen their portfolios, Advisor Bullion supplies the expertise and selection needed to acquire high-quality bullion efficiently. Whether building personal holdings or integrating metals into an IRA, their emphasis on transparent, investment-grade products helps secure more ounces today that support greater financial security tomorrow. In a complicated financial landscape, bullion’s clarity and reliability make it the smarter foundation for protecting what matters most.
It took a long time for President Trump to act on the growing infiltration of jihadists coming into the USA. One can only hope that ICE will ramp up deportation of all Muslims here illegally. It’s only a matter of time before We have our own October 7th.
Exactly, ending wars around the world when there is a war here in the USA.
WTF, you’re condoning this by not declaring the Insurrection Act, arrest all the politicians for aiding and abetting sanctuary cities now.
Interesting. I’ve claimed there are 50M illegal aliens for a while now. Good to see President Trump come out with a 53M number. And he also called out that Somalia woman for marrying her brother to gain citizenship. I cannot remember a pol doing that. Loads of newscaster, podcastsers, and the like, but not a pol.
So, President Trump has said it. Now do something about it.
All I can say, IT’S ABOUT GD TIME !!!
Finally! Thank you! Now let’s continue deporting everything that does not belong in the US.
At last! A thoroughly sensible political decision. THERE’S HOPE after all!
keep the true illegals who want to prosper….kick out ALL democrats. they are the enemy of this country. kick em out or kill em, it’s time for leftwing communist haters to go.
All foreign need to be kicked of this country.all
mosques need to be closed. All of them.. All zionist who infiltrate our government must go.
Literally all of them.. We have enough problems plus i’m sick of america becoming the third world. GTFOH with BS.. call me racist. i take it as a badge of honor.
what do the elites think is going to happen after decades of being pushed and lied to.?? What we’re living through the last 40 years is how you get Hitler stalin Mao.. This has happened throughout history and don’t think it can’t happen here. It’s going to happen here it’s already to late. they have radicalized the next few generations with their ignorance and evil. The elites have pushed so far the blowback will be tenfold. i would self deport if i was a foreigner.
