    “WATCH: Sean Parnell in 2021 arguing against bringing unvetted Afghan “refugees” into America by telling a story about a longtime interpreter in Afghanistan who betrayed his platoon.

    People forget that this was a lonely and courageous position to take in 2021. Countless establishment Republicans in Congress, along with virtually the entire donor class, sided with Biden and supported bringing these people into our country.

    I saw firsthand how MAGA Conservatives like @JDVance, @Jim_Banks and @SeanParnellUSA were ruthlessly smeared and attacked by RINOs inside the GOP for opposing it, but they were right all along.”

  2. “I’ll be honest, this clip hit me hard. An interpreter who served alongside @SeanParnellUSA for most of the tour was secretly working with the enemy, leading to the wounding and death of his men.

    It jolted loose memories I wish I could forget: interpreters steering us toward ambushes… the constant fear of Green-on-Blue attacks from the very people we were ordered to stand shona ba shona with.

    It happened far more than the public ever knew. And we rationalized it away. Just like we now rationalize mass migration in the name of unrestrained egalitarianism.

    We were told, “Fight them over there so we don’t have to fight them here.” That was the coping mechanism of an entire generation at war.

    But here we are (many of us still of fighting age) watching the same dynamic unfold a stone’s throw from the White House. A Green-on-Blue moment on our own soil.

    Let me be brutally clear: this isn’t a policy debate. Don’t bother with vetting arguments or procedural niceties. Some people simply cannot stay here.

    And this won’t be the last attack. We keep warning you. You keep covering your ears—terrified of being called “Islamophobic” or “racist.” How’s that working out?

    It’s always easy to dismiss the warnings, until you’re the one on the wrong end of the jihad.

    9/11 was supposed to teach us something. Instead, the West clings to suicidal empathy while refusing to make the hard choices required to survive.

    So go ahead, keep rationalizing the presence of people with no impulse control, no cultural alignment, and a worldview that sees conquest as virtue.

    And to the Marxist ideologues who’ve made an unholy alliance with them: if you help tear this nation down at their side, don’t be surprised when they turn and devour you next.

    My fellow Americans: it’s said that experience is that one thing you get just after you need it. Do yourself a favor, and just listen to ours for once.

    War veterans have already learned the hard lessons for you.”

  3. Facts.

    This is why I could care less if drug dealers and their boats are blown up before they can spread their deadly cargo across the US.

    “1.4 million Americans killed in action (KIA) on the streets of America since 2000 by narco-terrorist groups over the past 25 years is roughly 56K Americans KIA every year.

    In approximately 20 years of Americans being in Vietnam, we lost ~50K KIA.

    Let’s not get into the other resources wasted “over there” in Vietnam or other far flung places that simply aren’t priorities for the American people (AND all this occurring while certain people here lined their pockets).

    Enough is enough.

    Our priorities are so screwed up and America, under @realDonaldTrump leadership needs to completely reset our national priorities and focus.”

    “1.4 million Americans have been killed by cartel linked drugs since 2000.

    That’s more than every U.S. war COMBINED.

    Pair that with a foreign run mass migration pipeline that’s moved tens of millions of people into our country, and you’re looking at the single greatest external threat in American history.

    If you defend these cartels or the system that empowers them, you do so against the American people themselves.”

  4. Almost every NATO country took in the Afghan interpreters and have had very few problems with them once they arrived in the NATO country. But the shooter wasn’t an interpreter — he was a CIA asset and according to his own family, a heroin addict. He was vetted during the Biden admin and then approved during the Trump admin. In all likelihood his approval never reached either desk especially as a CIA asset. I’m not sure if the heroin story is real — he should’ve failed the medical if true.

    I find the story weird — he’s settled in Washington state, snaps and then drives cross country — why not find a target closer? did it have to be the capital? For the admin to call it terrorism misses the obvious — its PTSD. They want to call it terrorism in order to scare the populace to shut down more immigration.

  5. However, Afghanistan is a cautionary tale about occupying foreign countries in an ideological war. You can’t use the military to fight ideologies, religions or even a commodity. You can only protect your own country and then invade with the purpose of diminishing a threat.

    And yet even though many Trump supporters critize the occupation of Afghanistan and the blowback it created, they seemed ready to endorse another foreign adventure. This time instead of fighting “terrorism” or “religious extremism”, they are ready to fight “drugs”. Just to be clear the drugs are in Colombia, Mexico and China, its oil that is Venezuela. Like Iraq, the US is being misled into another foreign adventure.

    And to be clear, the Trump administration doesn’t really care about drug dealers — or they wouldn’t pardon them

    https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/nov/28/trump-pardon-honduras-hernandez-drugs

    On the pretence of fighting drugs, the US has bombed fishing boats, one of Colombian not even Venezuelan. And in one case, two men who survived the first attack were killed when Hesgeth ordered a second attack to ensure they were not dead. The first attack was a breach of international law as it occurred either in international waters in the Venezuelan EEZ and the second attack was a war crime. Its been considered a crime to attack survivors for at least the last 400 years and German U boat captains were imprisoned for not rescuing survivors, let alone killing them.

  6. The 1.4 million dead since 2000 by drug cartels is interesting. That’s 56 000 a year. According to the CDC, these are the top ten causes of death in 2023 — heart disease, cancer, accidents, stroke, respiratory diseases, Alzhemiers, diabetes, nephritis, liver diseases, and covid 19. Heart disease kills 680 000 a year. Diabetes, a disease with the right treatment and food can be prevented and managed, kills 95 000 a year. Those you truly concerned about the human toll that drugs cause should look at liver diseases at 52 000; time to tax Coors perhaps or maybe send the marines into Milwaukee.

    Instead of spending millions invading a foreign land to somehow stop a commodity that’s actually located somewhere else, if you truly want to prevent American deaths, the above should be a starting point. Here’s another — infant mortality is about 5 per 1000 in the US (4 in Canada and Cuba). Most European countries are below 3. Time for the US to invest in pre and post natal care and saved thousands of children — invading Venezuela will only kill both American soldiers and Venezuela civilians.

  7. Ok HRW, we’ll just send them all to you then, and you can be as hospitable as you like.

    Everyone knows the UK is already lost to the Muslim hordes, so of course Canada would commit cultural suicide too.

    And as mentioned above, with the support of Marxist allies like you, the hordes continue their world conquest. But you’re too full of yourselves to notice.

    They will eat you last, but they will eat you too.

  8. “Immigration and Nationality Act, Section 212(f):

    “Whenever the President finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrants, or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate.”

  9. I’ve been through this with you before — immigration shouldn’t be an all or nothing policy. There is room for nuance.

    I also said the Cdn policy since Covid and even before has been wrong. We increase immigration from 200k to 400k without investing in infrastructure ….. so of course it failed. Either keep it at the traditional number or invest in infrastructure. In addition, they tried to fund post secondary education through foreign student fees. Sure the money helped the colleges and universities but no investment in the local municipal infrastructure created issues in housing etc. Better to just invest in education without the foreign students. Finally even before Trudeau, our Conservative PM Harper expanded the temporary foreign workers program to include retail and service workers. This was done explicitly to depress wages. So yeah, I’m critical of our country’s immigration policies.

    Not sure how a Marxists advocates open borders. Traditional Marxists view immigration as an attempt to depress wages, create divisions among the working classes, and as the result of imperialism. Marxists correctly identify the problem not among the actual immigrants who are only looking for a better life for their family but at the elites and the corporations. Instead of ICE rounding up brown people, they should either levy heavy fines or outright confiscate the property of corporations that hire or facilitate the hiring of migrants. An action like that would probably solve the problem quicker and with less human misery.

  10. As for the Afghan immigrants. As I said, almost every NATO country, including Canada, took in their translators, liaison officers, base workers, their families, etc. Thus every NATO country took in their share of Afghan immigration. This particular Afghan worked for the CIA, which of course is an American agency, and therefore he would immigrate to the US not elsewhere. The fact he has PTSD and probably addiction issues is on the CIA — this is simple blowback from the NATO mission in Afghanistan. Those of us who advocated a quick strike force at al-queada post 9/11 did so to avoid precisely these types of situations.

    When you invade and destroy and country, a refugee crisis will occur — hence the large numbers of Afghan and Iraq immigrants today. Don’t want these immigrants, don’t invade their countries. Want to avoid immigrants with PTSD, don’t send in the CIA.

    And now the US looks to repeat the exact same mistake with Venezuela — if you thought you had too many Venezuelans in the US now, wait til Trump bombs the place. Even the current influx of Venezuelans now is due to US polices aimed at overthrowing the current regime. Stop messing around in Latin America and there will be less blowback.
