Trump administration proposes admitting more White South African refugees

The Trump administration is proposing increasing the refugee admissions ceiling for fiscal year 2026 to 17,500 for White South Africans, according to an emergency determination sent to Congress and obtained by CNN.
Last year, the administration restricted the number of refugees allowed to enter the country annually to 7,500, with a focus on White South Africans, slashing the previous year’s ceiling of 125,000 and excluding some of the world’s most vulnerable populations.
President Donald Trump has justified the administration’s decision to resettle Afrikaners in the US by citing claims that “a genocide is taking place” in South Africa, saying that “White farmers are being brutally killed and their land confiscated.”

Thomas Massie is fighting his Primary today. Despite being a loyal Republican who has voted with Trump on 95% of issues, Trump has backed a MAGA challenger because Massie voted to release the Epstein files and against the War in Iran.

As TRIPUS points out, Trump and APAC are blowing millions on infighting in a safe R seat, which means less money for the actual seats who are in danger come November.

Yet more evidence of the narcissistic personality cult - Trump has been personally wronged so Massie must pay and to hell with the actually vulnerable seats.

The clip from Led By Donkeys made me check up their acct.
Soon we will have to write CNN off the unbiased reportage list.

I find CNN odd. Sometimes it has decent journalism, next article can be pure fluff for an authoritarian government.

And to think they said Biden was too old and possibly demented.🙄

Spandauer · 19/05/2026 12:07

I'm hoping the birthday "celebrations" in June give MSM the opportunity to finally find their backbones and (relentlessly) highlight the fact he is now 80 and demented VERY OLD.

Sky News reporting on the parents in the aftermath of the 120 dead Iranian children in US strike on the primary school, straight out called Trump a liar. Oh please let Trump try to sue Sky News, or the reporter, Dominic Waghorn next.

Heavens to Murgatroyd! Chinese people writing and speaking Chinese...

Trump's people are so arrogant and ignorant.

Peter Navarro: "People should read more about what China actually writes. They do it all in Chinese and they think people aren't looking at it because we're barbarians, but it's all there for us to see."

(Note how CNBC has just given him an open mic to rant with no pushback on anything.)

Did someone not mention Trump and his pals’ behaviour as a return to Roman times on an earlier thread? Caligula means "little boots", doesn’t it? Trump is certainly way too big for his, yet still no-one can stop him. It’s madness.

ETA: Have some sheep to cheer you up.

Today is ballroom day for Trump

This reply to Aaron Rupar sums it up

this honestly sounds like an excited six-year-old showing off his crayon drawing of the cool new building he just thought up

"it has triangles!"
"drones bounce off it, but they also launch from it!"
"the soldier men can stand on the roof and protect us all!"

Surrey Police says it is investigating two separate allegations of "non-recent child sexual abuse" following the US release of the files related to the convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

The force says that one relates to locations in Surrey and Berkshire in the mid 1990s to 2000. The other relates to the mid to late 1980s in west Surrey.
No arrests have been made, it added.

Oh, I am kind of terrified that it shows any links with the UK grooming gangs. It was the first thing that crossed my mind when I saw it.

It seems like there are Epstein's links leading to all the problems we had and have. Which, well, relates to the kind of people he knew. Lots of rich, powerful and out of reach billionaires.

Just the cherry on the cake of the $1.7bn slush fund created to pay "compensation" to anyone Trump thinks deserves it...
The justice department quietly added a provision barring the IRS from auditing Donald Trump’s tax returns on Tuesday, amending a widely criticized agreement that creates a secretive and loosely controlled $1.776bn fund to compensate allies of the president.
The addendum, signed by Todd Blanche, the acting attorney general, says the government is “forever barred” and “precluded” from examining the tax returns of Trump, his family, company and “related companies” (per The Guardian)
