U.S. To Welcome South African White Nationalists

 The Trump administration has decided to limit the number of refugees entering the to 7,500.  With priority given to Afrikaners. You know the racist's who once ruled South Africa. 

 Low number represents a dramatic drop after US previously allowed in hundreds of thousands of people fleeing war and persecution

The Trump administration is going to restrict the number of refugees it admits into the United States next year to the token level of just 7,500 – and those spots will mostly be filled by white South Africans.

The low number represents a dramatic drop after the US previously allowed in hundreds of thousands of people fleeing war and persecution from around the world.

The Associated Press previously reported that the administration was considering admitting as few as 7,500 refugees and mostly white South Africans.

Nothing says refugee like over privileged white South Africans.  

Trump Nominee Refuses To Say Whether Black People Should Be Allowed To Vote

 

Ladies and gentlemen, your nominee to be ambassador to South Africa, Brent Bozell.

Ladies and gentlemen, your nominee to be ambassador to South Africa, Brent Bozell:

President Donald Trump’s nominee to be ambassador to South Africa this week refused to say whether he would support or oppose repealing laws allowing Black Americans to vote.

During a Thursday Senate confirmation hearing, Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) asked Trump nominee Brent Bozell, a right-wing media critic and founder of the conservative Media Research Center, about his support for Trump administration plans that limit refugee admissions almost exclusively to white Afrikaners.

“Senator, I don’t make that policy,” Bozell replied.

Murphy, however, did not accept this attempt at evasion.

Trump's immigration policies are based upon racism, white nationalism and white supremacy.   

Brent Bozell is more than willing to continue these policies. 

'Chilling': FBI shocks with visits to homes of innocent protesters under Trump's orders

 Under orders from President Donald Trump, the FBI has started visiting the homes of innocent protesters, according to a report.

In one case, special needs teacher Miles Serafini, 26, told independent journalist Ken Klippenstein that agents visited his home after he participated in a June protest at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement office in Arizona. The two agents, who only identified themselves as "James" and "Keith", were recorded on Serafini's security camera.

"We came out here to ask you questions regarding a protest that happened on the 11th of June," one of the agents explained. "We've been just basically going around asking questions for a few people … and your name was brought up."

This is akin to the KGB during the Soviet era coming for "a friendly visit."

Surprise! ICE Recruits Fail Drug Tests, Have Criminal Backgrounds

Some men applying to be ICE agents have criminal records? What a shocker. Any Proud Boys in there?

NBC News:

Immigration and Customs Enforcement has placed new recruits into its training program before they have completed the agency’s vetting process, an unusual sequence of events as it rushes to hire federal immigration officers to carry out President Donald Trump’s mass deportation policy, a current and two former Homeland Security Department officials told NBC News.

ICE officials only later discovered that some of the recruits failed drug testing, had disqualifying criminal backgrounds, or didn’t meet the physical or academic requirements to serve, the sources said.

Staff members at ICE’s training academy in Brunswick, Georgia, recently discovered one recruit had previously been charged with strong-arm robbery and battery stemming from a domestic violence incident, the current DHS official said. They’ve also found, as recently as this month, that some recruits going through the six-week training course hadn’t submitted fingerprints for background checks, as ICE’s hiring process requires, the current and former DHS officials said.

...

Remember Donald only "hires the best people." Like those with brain worms and the killer of dogs and goats.

There's something happening here
What it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
A-telling me I got to beware

I think it's time we stop
Children, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down

There's battle lines being drawn
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong
Young people speaking their minds
Are getting so much resistance from behind

Time we stop
Hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down

What a field-day for the heat
A thousand people in the street
Singing songs and a-carrying signs
Mostly say hooray for our side

It's time we stop
Hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down

Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you're always afraid
Step out of line, the man come and take you away

We better stop
Hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down
We better stop
Hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down
We better stop now
What's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down
We better stop
Children, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down

Several Airports Refuse To Air ICE Barbie's Propaganda Video

Welcome to the resistance, airports.

Airports in Seattle, Phoenix, and Westchester, New York, are refusing to play Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem's propaganda video for air travelers at TSA checkpoints. Imagine trying to get away for a few days with your family, and you're forced to watch an unqualified woman from the Trump administration blaring out how the Trump/Epstein government shutdown is the Democrats' fault. We have to watch these people lie and gaslight us daily, but now they're creeping into TSA checkpoints, too.

The airports cite the “political nature of its content" in their refusal to play the North Korean-style propaganda video.

Airing this video is a violation of the Hatch Act.

Caught on camera: ICE tactics intensify despite disturbing videos surfacing across the U.S.

What does “minimum force” really look like? New videos surface showing ICE agents making arrests in broad daylight, near schools, in front of children, and on busy streets. The videos show federal agents intensifying their aggressive tactics in America’s big cities

Federal officers warned they may face jail time after new arrests

 

A WGN video producer was handcuffed and taken into custody by federal agents on Friday morning while documenting the arrest of a Latino man, and one legal analyst warned the move defied a court order.

“WGN is aware of this situation, and we are actively gathering the facts related to it,” the company said in a statement, according to Block Club Chicago.

As Slate legal analyst Mark Joseph Stern posted on Bluesky, this defies a recent court order.

"It is hereby ORDERED that Defendants, their officers, agents, assigns and all other persons acting in concert with them (hereafter referred to as 'Federal Agents'), are temporarily EN/joined in this judicial district from: a. Dispersing, arresting, threatening to arrest, threatening or using physical force against any person who they know or reasonably should know is a journalist, unless defendants have probable cause to believe that the individual has committed a crime," the order read.

Donald Trump Lusts For The Nobel Peace Prize.

Truly, madly, deeply: Trump’s desire for a Nobel peace prize is driving diplomacy

Never before has a Nobel peace prize – or indeed any prize, decoration or gold star – loomed so large over a US president and their foreign policy.

Since his return to the White House, Donald Trump’s campaign to influence the Peace Research Institute Oslo in Norway has been anything but subtle – but with just hours to go before the award is announced, it has gone into overdrive.

To be clear the committee that awards the Peace Prize operates independent of the Norwegian government.

When Is A Dictatorship Not A Dictatorship?

 Most people recognize governance that isn't pluralistic. These types of governments can be identified under several political identities. Such as a coup, a junta, an autocracy, dictatorship, totalitarian, dystopian and ruling committee.

In all but the last example the power of the governance is controlled by a single person. So, back to the original question: When is a dictatorship not a dictatorship? 

When one calls single person rule the unitary executive. At first glance one probably wouldn't associate that term with authoritarian rule. Scratch the surface and you realize that the unitary executive is just a more polite way saying totalitarian rule.

Unitary Executive as pertaining to the U.S. rests on how much control the president has over the executive branch. 

All presidents have the right to dismiss the heads of the various departments like State or Commerce as they are political appointees confirmed by the Senate. One exception to that is the Chairman of the Federal Reserve. By law the president can't remove that individual. even though Donald Trump has, over the last several months threatened to sack Jerome Powell the current Fed. Chairman because they, Fed. Board of Governors haven't lowered inrestrates for institutional investors.

Since January Donald Trump has sought to expand those powers far beyond what is prescribed in the constitution.  

One power granted to Congress (And a very important one) is the power to tax and spend. Spending is where the power of the purse comes into play. All fiscal year budget proposals must originate in The House 

In the federal government of the United States, the power of the purse is vested in the Congress as laid down in the Constitution of the United States, Article I, Section 9, Clause 7 (the Appropriations Clause), and Article I, Section 8, Clause 1 (the Taxing and Spending Clause).

Donald Trump and Russell Vought   (Russell Vought is one of the architects of Project 2025)  Director of the Office of Management and Budget are attempting to rest that power from the Congress. If successful Donald Trump would become America's first autocratic ruler.
