Two national guard members were shot in Washington, D.C., Wednesday and are said to be clinging to life, each in critical condition. The gunman reportedly was an Afghan national, in the U.S. illegally, of course.
And I think it could have happened here if our Myopia 2025 people had their way. Recall that shadowy organization, fond of operating in the background (as in never running for office, but pulling a lot of political strings), had tried to slip a bunch of Afghans into Johnstown in late 2021/early 2022, and might have succeeded were it not for the likes of Rep. Frank Burns.
Oh, the platitudes mouthed by the Myopia types. Trying to build up our sagging population and filling jobs begging for workers with Afghans. Blah, blah, blah.
Perhaps there were government grants to be acquired and distributed through their core constituency of nonprofits, charities, foundations and not-for-profits?
Maybe some business owners who are Myopia favorites needed cheap labor?
But, once the public-relations spotlight was put on Myopia, the Afghan plan disappeared.
Readers of this blog might recall me recounting in a September 2024 blog post about some give-and-take with a largely uninformed guy I met at the Cambria County Republican office in Richland. I was there to purchase a Trump yard sign and the Afghan subject came up when I mentioned I also had a Burns sign.
I was told the usual claptrap about the Afghans proposed for settlement here would have been vetted. I pointed out that I recalled “vetted” Afghans were guilty of many incident vs. U.S. personnel in Afghanistan.
The man challenged me for specifics. I went home, researched the topic and wrote a blog post in early September laying it all out for him, even tried to call the office to reach him (he never did give me his name) but said office was closed.
To spare you the need to look up that blog post, there were numerous such incidents in Afghanistan, and some since in the U.S., even before this latest Washington, D.C., abomination. I was right. The know-it-all at the Republican office was wrong.
Such often-wrong, never-in-doubt thinking would stand him in good stead in the Democrat party. The usual suspects rushed to social media Wednesday to blame the D.C. tragedy not on the alleged illegal Afghan shooter, but instead on President Trump for putting National Guard troops in harm’s way.
In harm’s way. In our freaking nation’s capital, you morons?
Do you also pontificate about rape victims asking for it by dressing provocatively, or that battered women brought it on themselves by making their partners – male or female – angry?
This incident is about Trump trying to clean up the illegals/crime mess left by Clueless Joe Biden and abetted by every mayor and liberal puke in the legal system that thinks deporting or jailing scofflaws is unfair, a risk to democracy, or just plain mean-spirited stuff.
The shooting makes Trump’s point that D.C., like most cities run by raging Blue Democrats, are not safe places and need National Guard presence to change that.
There is an outrageous tale making the rounds from Chicago, another hotbed of crime, about an incident Nov. 17 in which a guy with more than 70 arrests was set free by a DEI judge with a hyphenated last name to douse gasoline on an innocent woman riding a train, setting her on fire and sending her to the hospital in critical condition.
But, Chicago is absolutely safe. Stop talking about the hundred or so shootings there every weekend. I can only imagine the carnage of this holiday-elongated weekend.
Democrats are emboldened to stand up for illegal immigrants, criminals in general, and any group that wants to disrupt polite society. They rush to social media to preach hate and urge breaking of the law, even by those in the military.
It’s because these crazed leftist Democrats feel no career risk since their brain-dead electorate keeps voting them back into office.
Until that changes, expect more of the same in D.C., Chicago and other Blue bastions.
