President Donald Trump welcomed South African President Cyril Ramaphosa to the White House on Wednesday, amid controversy over the Trump administration’s acceptance of white South African refugees. “Hello, nice to see you,” Trump said before turning to take a picture with Ramaphosa upon welcoming him outside the Oval Office. The Afrikaner farmers came to the United States, alleging they are the victims of a genocide in their country. The Trump administration accepted 49 farmers — who arrived in the United States on a U.S.-chartered flight earlier this month — through an expedited program. Democrats have denied that Afrikaners are being persecuted for their race, and have criticized the Trump administration for resettling the refugees in the United States.

The two leaders will have lunch and an Oval Office meeting. pic.twitter.com/9yKRkKnbkn — Kassy Akiva (@KassyAkiva) May 21, 2025 Trump pushed back on those criticisms last week, saying the refugees “happen to be white, but whether they’re white or black makes no difference to me.” “White farmers are being brutally killed and their land is being confiscated in South Africa, and the newspapers and the television media doesn’t even talk about it,” the president added. HOW TRUMP AND RUBIO PUT AMERICA FIRST IN 100 DAYS Trump and Ramaphosa will have a bilateral lunch followed by an Oval Office meeting, where Elon Musk is expected to be present, Axios reported. Musk, a South African native, has been a vocal critic of its current government. Vice President JD Vance, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, are also expected to attend the meeting. Tensions between the two countries have increased following the passage of South Africa’s Expropriation Act, which allows the South African government to confiscate land without compensation. Trump issued an executive order in February saying the act ignored citizens’ rights and enabled the government to “seize ethnic minority Afrikaners’ agricultural property without compensation.” The executive order cut aid or assistance to South Africa and declared that the United States will promote resettling Afrikaner refugees. The Trump administration also banned Ebrahim Rasool, South Africa’s Ambassador to the United States, after he claimed Trump was “mobilizing” white supremacy around the world. HOMELAND SECURITY TO SCREEN IMMIGRANTS AND FOREIGN STUDENTS’ SOCIAL MEDIA FOR ANTI-SEMITISM Secretary of State Marco Rubio accused Rasool of being a “race-baiting politician who hates America and @POTUS.” “We have nothing to discuss with him and so he is considered PERSONA NON GRATA,” Rubio posted. In March, Musk shared a video of Julius Malema, a member of South Africa’s National Assembly, singing “Kill the Boer” at a political rally, a reference to Afrikaners. “Very few people know that there is a major political party in South Africa that is actively promoting white genocide,” Musk posted. “A whole arena chanting about killing white people.” Musk added that his company, Starlink, is unable to get a license to operate in South Africa because Musk is not black. Rubio also denounced the “Kill the Boer” song, claiming it “incites violence.” DEALS AND DIPLOMACY: HERE’S EVERYTHING TRUMP ACCOMPLISHED ON HIS GULF TOUR “South Africa’s leaders and politicians must take action to protect Afrikaner and other disfavored minorities,” he posted in March. “The United States is proud to offer those individuals who qualify for admission to our nation amid this continued horrible threat of violence.” Rubio doubled down on the Trump administration’s belief that Afrikaners are being persecuted during a Senate hearing on Wednesday. “These are people whose farms were burned down and they were killed because of the color of their skin,” Rubio said in a heated exchange with Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA). Rubio added that the farmers qualify for refugee status because they “live in a country where farms are taken and land is taken on a racial basis.”

On Wednesday, the Trump administration’s Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division said lawsuits against the Louisville, Kentucky, and Minneapolis, Minnesota, police departments would be dismissed. The DOJ countered the lawsuits filed by the Biden administration in the waning moments of Biden’s presidency. Those lawsuits accused the police departments of “unconstitutional policing practices by wrongly equating statistical disparities with intentional discrimination and heavily relying on flawed methodologies and incomplete data,” the DOJ stated. “They also sought to subject the Louisville and Minneapolis police departments to sweeping consent decrees that went far beyond the Biden administration’s accusations of unconstitutional conduct.” The Minneapolis and Louisville investigations followed the deaths of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor in 2020. Memorial Day Sale – Get 40% Off New DailyWire+ Annual Memberships In April 2021, then-Attorney General Merrick B. Garland announced an investigation into the Minneapolis Police Department and whether it had used excessive force or treated minorities unfairly. In 2023, Biden’s DOJ released results of its investigation into the Louisville Metro Police Department (LMPD), saying it had acted with discriminatory behavior against black people. Both police departments reached consent decrees with the Biden administration. The consent decree with Minneapolis enjoined the police department to: Require officers to de-escalate Prohibit officers from using force to punish or retaliate Prohibit the use of certain pretext stops Ban searches based on alleged smells of cannabis Prohibit so-called consent searches during pedestrian or vehicle stops Limit when officers can use force Limit when and how officers can use chemical irritants and tasers Ban “excited delirium” training The consent decree’s demands of the Louisville police are listed here. “The decrees would have governed many aspects of those police departments, including their management, supervision, training, performance evaluations, discipline, staffing, recruitment, and hiring,” the DOJ continued. “In short, these sweeping consent decrees would have imposed years of micromanagement of local police departments by federal courts and expensive independent monitors, and potentially hundreds of millions of dollars of compliance costs, without a legally or factually adequate basis for doing so.” “Overbroad police consent decrees divest local control of policing from communities where it belongs, turning that power over to unelected and unaccountable bureaucrats, often with an anti-police agenda,” Assistant Attorney General Harmeet K. Dhillon of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division declared. “Today, we are ending the Biden Civil Rights Division’s failed experiment of handcuffing local leaders and police departments with factually unjustified consent decrees.” In addition, the Civil Rights Division “will also be closing its investigations into, and retracting the Biden administration’s findings of constitutional violations” on the part of the police departments of Phoenix, Arizona; Trenton, New Jersey; Memphis, Tennessee; Mount Vernon, New York; Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; and the Louisiana State Police.

After years of dismissing the Hunter-centric scandals that plagued former President Joe Biden’s White House, CNN anchor Jake Tapper unloaded on Hunter Biden during a recent interview with longtime journalist Katie Couric. Tapper spoke with Couric alongside Axios reporter Alex Thompson — with whom he wrote the new book, “Original Sin,” about the obvious physical and cognitive decline of the former president and the lengths to which those around him went to cover that up. But when the conversation turned to Hunter Biden, Tapper said that he’d found former President Joe Biden’s embattled son to be “unethical, sleazy, and prone to bad decisions.” WATCH: ?NEW: Jake Tapper GOES SCORCHED EARTH on Hunter Biden? TAPPER: “I think he is provably, demonstrably, unethical, sleazy and prone to horrible decisions.” COURIC: “Tell me how you really feel.” TAPPER: “Just look at the record: after his brother died, he cheated on his wife… pic.twitter.com/MF6d02j5t1 — Jason Cohen ?? (@JasonJournoDC) May 20, 2025 “How big a factor was the Hunter stuff?” Couric asked, referencing the now-infamous laptop, which the Biden White House and dozens of former intelligence community officials had repeatedly tried to pass off as “Russian disinformation.” “I think it was considerable,” Tapper began as Thompson nodded in agreement. “I think Hunter was driving the decision-making for the family in a way that people — he was almost like a chief of staff of the family.” Memorial Day Sale – Get 40% Off New DailyWire+ Annual Memberships “Does that strike you as pretty bizarre?” Couric pressed. Tapper agreed: “It’s bizarre because I think he is provably, demonstrably, unethical, sleazy and prone to horrible decisions, I mean —” “Tell me how you really feel,” Couric interjected. “Well, I — Just look at the record: after his brother died, he cheated on his wife with his brother’s widow and then got her addicted to crack,” Tapper continued. “That’s just one thing I could say. I mean, there — I don’t have a lot of personal regard for him, and just based on — having nothing to do with — I barely have ever met him, I’ve met him once or twice. But I knew Beau. Beau was a great, upstanding guy.” “I knew him too,” Couric said. “A really —” “A real loss,” Tapper said. “For the country too, not just for his family, for the country. But Hunter is not that, and the idea of letting him drive the family car, as it were, is just really, really questionable.” Nearly five years earlier, however — as Joe Biden neared the finish line of the 2020 presidential election and shortly after the New York Post had dropped the bombshell that was the Hunter Biden laptop story — Tapper had dismissed the allegations against Hunter Biden as “wildly unhinged” and “too disgusting” for him to repeat on air. ?FLASHBACK?

Retail giant Target revealed on Tuesday that customer boycotts damaged its sales in the first quarter, following the company’s January decision to scale back several diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives. Sales fell 2.8% from last year to $23.85 billion, below the $24.23 billion Wall Street expected, with Target now expecting a low-single digit decline in annual sales for 2025, a significant downgrade from its March projection of a 1% increase. According to the company’s earnings report, “Comparable sales decreased 3.8 percent in the first quarter, reflecting a comparable store sales decline of 5.7 percent and comparable digital sales growth of 4.7 percent.” Target, previously a staunch supporter of leftist causes, announced in January it would phase out several DEI initiatives after criticism from conservative activists and the White House. Despite the reversal, the company continues to receive backlash from both the Right and the Left, with many conservatives arguing that the retailer’s retreat from DEI policies has come too late. Memorial Day Sale – Get 40% Off New DailyWire+ Annual Memberships In February, Target was hit with a class action lawsuit from shareholders who accused the retailer of misleading them about the risks posed by its DEI initiative, which the plaintiffs allege contributed to Target’s stock having plummeted more than 37% over the past year. Rev. Jamal Bryant, who led a nationwide 40-day boycott of Target stores after the company ended DEI initiatives in “a spiritual act of resistance,” called for a continuation of that effort. “We faced several additional headwinds this quarter, including five consecutive months of declining consumer confidence, uncertainty regarding the impact of potential tariffs, and the reaction to the updates we shared on [DEI] in January,” Target CEO Brian Cornell said on an earnings call. “I want to be clear that we’re not satisfied with these results,” Cornell added. “We’ve got to drive traffic back into our stores and visits to our site.” The company faces additional challenges from potential tariffs on Chinese imports. While President Donald Trump’s threatened 145% tariffs were reduced to 30% in a May 12 deal, with some higher tariffs paused for 90 days, Target remains vulnerable due to its higher reliance on discretionary items compared to competitors like Walmart, according to the AP. “We look at competition,” Cornell explained regarding potential price hikes. “We make adjustments literally each and every week, so we’re constantly adjusting pricing. Some are going up. Some will be reduced.” The retailer operates nearly 2,000 stores nationwide with more than 400,000 employees, making its financial performance a significant indicator for the broader retail sector. Out of 35 merchandise categories Target tracks, the company is currently gaining or maintaining market share in only 15, the AP reported.
