In Trump's American Vision, White Nationalist Afrikaners are Welcome While Afghan Allies Can F off

No surprises here.

If you are White, you are welcome as refugees to Donald Trump's America.

Anyone else. Do not call us. We will call you but do not wait by the phone because that call is unlikely.

On Monday (May 13, 2025,) Mr. Trump, in a nod to his South African buddy Elon Musk, welcomed 59 Afrikaner refugees into the United States, falsely claiming they were facing genocide and land confiscation.

This is happening at the same time, the Musk/Trump/Vance Central Committee is saying a big F off to Afghanistan Refugee petitioners from individuals and families inside (9,000 people) and outside (13,000) the United States that Taliban forces would love to get their hands on for helping the United States during their stay in that country following 9/11 to the Biden/Harris Withdrawal in 2021.

This is all on top of this current regime denying due process and threatening the suspension of habeous corpus to legal and illegal non white immigrants residing in this country so they can deport them before the courts could intervene more than they already have.

Members of Arizona's Democratic Congressional Delegation has reacted strongly against the Trump whites only moves.

Representative Yassamin Ansari wrote:

Representative Greg Stanton called the Trump move "sickening," posting:

On CNN while promoting his own immigration plan, Senator Ruben Gallego called the Trump claims of genocide on Afrikaners "B.S." and not justified, saying their asylum claims "would have been automatically rejected" at the Southern Border because their land has not been taken away.

Gallego also said that there are Cubans and Venezuelans with actual legitimate claims that are being deported with more potential danger facing them than the Afrikaner applicants.

Public Service Announcement from Doctor Who to Ignore Disreputable "News Sources" that Thrive on Misinformation

The second season of Doctor Who with Ncuti Gatwa in the title role is one of the better ones in the last several years. Of course, people on the extreme right end of the political spectrum have taken issue with the direction of the show, first with the casting of the first female Doctor, Jodie Whittaker. Then with the casting of Mr. Gatwa, an openly gay black man. Then there has been criticism of some of the episodes as being too woke, too multicultural, and too historically accurate.

Right wing reactionary types probably had convulsions after hearing of the latest Doctor Who episode called "Lucky Day."

In it a podcaster spreads misinformation in order to boost his popularity from feeding on people's fears.

The confrontation between the Doctor and this podcaster, named Conrad, is another example of how science fiction writers and show runners use their programs to spread moral messages designed to make people think and build positive character.

In this scene, the Doctor chastises the podcaster, saying his and other broadcasters like him are:

"Noise. All day long, this relentless noise. Cowards like you, weaponizing lies, taking people's insecurity and fear and making it currency...You stamp on the truth, choke our bandwidth, and shred our patience because the only strategy you have is to wear us down."

Surprise Surprise: The Twice Impeached Convicted Felon Said "I Don't Know" When Asked if He Would Follow the Constitution

In an interview with Meet the Press's Kristen Welker that has drawn praise for exposing (for like the millionth time) Donald Trump's deranged mental state, the below exchange has drawn the most attention since it first aired this morning.

In a word. Duh.

It would have been surprising if this person would have said he would uphold the Constitution.

Remember this is the person who has been impeached twice for high crimes during his first term.

This is the individual who has been convicted and found liable for multiple crimes like business fraud and sexual misconduct.

This is the traitor who sent people to the Capitol as Domestic Terrorists on January 6, 2021 to stage a coup, called those criminals 'hostages' and then pardoned them for their crimes against the country. He even invited their Proud Boy Leader to Mara Largo last night to apologize for how he was "mistreated" by the Justice Department.

This is the wannabe Duce that is authorizing the abduction and transport of innocent people to El Salvadorian prisons without any semblance of Due Process.

This is the individual that did not put his hand on the Bible when he swore at his second inaugural that he would uphold the Constitution. He probably worried he would have been struck down if he did. Why are not the White Nationalist Evangelicals moaning and groaning about him not putting his hand on the Bible? If Biden "forgot," there would have been hell to pay.

The interview also made news for Trump's comments on inflation, the economy, Jasmine Crockett, Greenland, and Canada. Please click below to watch the whole unedited debacle. For all the praise Welker received from pundits like MediasTouch, she let Trump lie and lie like the Energizer Bunny. He kept lying and lying. Then again, to be fair, if she was able to fact check him on everything, the interview would still be going.

Miss Joe Biden and Kamala Harris yet. At least they cared about the American People and moving the nation forward.

Hopefully, many of the uninformed people that forgot history and the trial transcripts and thought Trump was a safe bet have seen the error of their ways.
