In one of the most incredible scenes in American diplomatic history, President Donald Trump halted his meeting with the South African president Wednesday to show him a video montage of threats made to white citizens of his country. Forcing the South African President to watch politicians in South Africa call for white genocide is incredible diplomacy. Other administrations would’ve just had a standard meeting and press conference… Trump is actually trying to save lives. pic.twitter.com/rss9PG231n— Tim Young (@TimRunsHisMouth) May 21, 2025 “Boer” refers to an Afrikaner, a descendant of mostly Dutch immigrants in South Africa. This meeting took place a week after Trump welcomed around 60 white South African refugee farmers to the United States, a move that received blowback from the Left and the media who until a moment ago insisted that all refugees are welcome. I wonder what was different this time? Funny enough, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa is the one who requested a meeting with Trump to get him to stop bringing in Afrikaner refugees and to keep U.S. aid flowing after the administration suspended it in March. Perhaps Ramaphosa expected Trump to kiss his feet like other presidents have done. He thought wrong. They said when Biden took office that the "adults were back in charge."South African President Ramaphosa visited both President Biden and President Trump.

But in this instance, what Trump did was entirely deserved and sent the right message. If you take a gander at the laundry list of legacy media headlines, they claim no genocide is taking place and eagerly insinuate that Trump is racist for highlighting the Afrikaner issue. They’re more bothered by Trump “ambushing” Ramaphosa in the Oval Office than by Ramaphosa’s ignoring the slaughter of his citizens in their homes. Some praised Ramaphosa for “staying calm” through videos of his countrymen singing to massive crowds, “kill the Boer, kill the white farmer.” What a statesman. Trump is right to pull U.S. aid from South Africa. And if we are going to bring any refugees at all to the United States, the Afrikaner farmers have an excellent claim. For too long, South Africa’s leaders have been unquestioningly feted and treated with deference by Western leaders. The Left has built up this unquestioned narrative that after Nelson Mandela liberated South Africa from apartheid and racism the country has moved along toward its wonderful post-racial future, the only impediment being white racism. That’s not at all what happened. Yes, apartheid was ended. Racism wasn’t. It’s now being viciously directed toward the country’s white minority, especially the farmers. South Africa is being decolonized. But the result hasn’t been equality, growth, prosperity, and happiness. It’s been retribution, crime, decay, dysfunction, and misery. I’d say South Africa’s government is paving a road to hell through good intentions, but their intentions are malignant, and the roads aren’t getting paved either. The arc of history bends toward justice under a just system, where citizens are treated equally under the law, where God-given rights are protected, and where the government commits itself to safeguarding all its citizens, not just ones of a particular class or racial group. South Africa didn’t take that path. They chose social justice and the road to oblivion. They chose racial retribution and DEI-maxing. The country is run by a socialist, Marxist-aligned, black nationalist-adjacent party that’s long tried to juggle South Africa’s growth with outright theft from its productive sectors. The parasite is finally killing the host. Palladium Magazine published an article in March highlighting how South Africa has become a “racketeer party state,” where the allegedly “moderate” ruling party, African National Congress, essentially operates a gangster-style government. “From endemic sexual crime to farm murders, rolling blackouts, and expropriation, the rest is just the details,” Lawrence Thomas wrote. “What has come to be termed ‘South Africanization’ is not the failed development of a Third-World nation such as Afghanistan or Somalia, but the structural de-development of a once fully modern state that had its own nuclear weapons program.” Thomas wrote that “the party operates on a kind of folk Leninism: it invokes the grandiose language of twentieth-century party discipline to steer what amounts to a racketeering operation with a malleable progressive ideology attached that justifies the racket.” The “kill the Boer” rallies are only part of the problem. South Africa passed a law that allows the property of white farmers to be taken by the government. One New York Times writer absurdly tried to compare this to the Trump administration’s use of eminent domain on the Southern border. Eminent domain is a justified—if sometimes abused—use of government power to build infrastructure that comes with compensation. South Africa’s law comes with no compensation. It’s simple, state-backed robbery and retribution. To make matters worse as far as U.S. policy is concerned, this all occurred while South Africa aligned itself with Russia, China, Iran, and Hamas. They take our money and work with our enemies. Of course, the Biden administration did nothing to fix the situation. Orde F. Kittrie, an official at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, wrote last March in The Hill that while the African National Congress was looting its own country, the U.S. was “insulating the party” from the consequences of its corruption and mismanagement. “The U.S. is the largest provider of development assistance to South Africa, $660 million per year,” Kittrie wrote. “The U.S. has also committed more than $1 billion to help South Africa’s profoundly corrupt and reform-resistant energy sector transition to renewable energy.” Again, the Trump administration rightly brought this to an end. We shouldn’t be funding green scams at home or abroad. That South Africa’s president was humiliated by the White House was the least of his problems. If Ramaphosa would like to avoid such embarrassments in the future he should work to end corruption in his government, protect the rights of all his citizens, and stop linking arms with terrorist groups. Then maybe he can come crawling back to the U.S. and ask for help. Until that time, he and his entire government can slink away and watch as more future Elon Musks flee to places that allow them to create their own greener pastures without threat of violence and expropriation.

Dean Phillips: The Democratic Party Conspired Against American Democracy

Jake Tapper is getting raked over the coals for his pseudo-bombshell book “Original Sin” that he co-authored with Axios’ Alex Thompson. It’s obvious to everyone that the book is an attempt to capitalize on the very narrative he played an active role in suppressing — the narrative we all saw playing out every time Biden was near a camera. But nobody has excoriated Tapper quite like Megyn Kelly. His recent appearance on “The Megyn Kelly Show” is going viral after the blonde firebrand forced him to look his hypocrisy straight in the face. “He got his feet held to the fire with her,” says Pat Gray, host of “Pat Gray Unleashed.” “I did ask Joe Biden to be transparent about his health records in an interview in 2020. I did ask him about the fact that voters thought that he ...” Tapper began before Kelly cut him off with a blunt, “Then, he wasn’t.” “He promised you that he would be transparent about his health records, and then, he wasn't, and when you sat with him again, including one month after the Jackie Walorski thing, you didn't ask him about it,” she lambasted, referencing Biden’s September 2022 gaffe when he looked for Rep. Jackie Walorski (R-Ind.) at a press conference, even though she had died the previous month in a car crash. “You didn't follow up on the fact that he was falling up the stairs, that he was losing his train of thought regularly, that he was slurring, that he was incomprehensible, that he was getting lost on the White House lawn. You sat right across from him, and you asked none of that,” Kelly continued, accusing Tapper of “running cover for the president.” She then moved on to the CNN anchor's interview with Lara Trump in 2020, during which he accused her of mocking Biden's stutter, challenged her lack of medical credentials, and abruptly ended the interview after she pointed out Biden’s obvious cognitive decline. “I feel angry because [Lara] was right, and not only did you not allow her to make her comments, but you seemed to try to humiliate her ... and then you lectured her on how she was in no position to diagnose cognitive decline, which you guys do at length, including on page four of your book,” Kelly condemned, calling Tapper’s exposé only possible because the left-wing media, including CNN, was complicit in the cover-up. “He was carried out of that interview on a stretcher, and I don't know that he'll ever recover from that,” laughs Pat.

President Donald Trump escalated his feud with Harvard University on Thursday when he shut down visas for international students headed to the prestigious institution. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem sent a letter to Harvard President Alan Garber notifying him that the university's certification for the Student and Exchange Visitor Program was ended, "effective immediately." 'Consequences must follow to send a clear signal to Harvard and all universities that want to enjoy the privilege of enrolling foreign students, that the Trump administration will enforce the law.'Noem had demanded the university produce evidence of "illegal and violent activities" of international students or risk losing privileges granted by the federal government. She had given them a deadline of April 30. A month later, the DHS confirmed that “Harvard can no longer enroll foreign students, and existing foreign students must transfer or lose their legal status." Jason Newton, a spokesperson for Harvard, told the Crimson that the action was "unlawful" and said the university was “fully committed” to continuing to admit international students. “This retaliatory action threatens serious harm to the Harvard community and our country and undermines Harvard’s academic and research mission,” said Newton. Noem specifically tied the visa program revocation to Harvard's refusal to follow the administration's request. "This action should not surprise you and is the unfortunate result of Harvard's failure to comply with simple reporting requirements," said Noem in the letter.

She gave Harvard 72 hours to comply with her demands in order to regain certification for the international student program for the next academic school year. Harvard has about 7,000 international students, or about 27% of the entire student body, according to NPR. Like Blaze News?
