Democrats Show Their True Colors

Kurt Schlichter | May 19, 2025

You’ve got to admire the Democrat Party’s innovative plan to center its ideology around contempt for America’s largest ethnic group. If nothing else, the last week or so has demonstrated that the key sacrament of the Democrats has stopped being the murder of little babies and has become the hatred of white people. Since somewhere between 60% and 70% of Americans identify as “white” – the notion of “white” is, like most ethnic categories, ambiguous and ultimately silly – this is, as the kids say, a bold strategy. Let’s see how it works out...... To Read More...

Editor's Note:  While we're at it let's make this an intentional affliction of all leftists and tyrants who insist on attacking whites and demanding whites agree to it.  Here are a few pieces I've saved on the South African whites escaping their genocide. I will have an article of my own on this soon.  RK

Margaret Brennan Refuses Marco Rubio’s Word That White South African Refugees Are Escaping Genocide -  It’s been very telling watching ‘journalists’ and their fellow Democrats go from ‘We love refugees’ to ‘We must stop these South African refugees because they’re white.’ People in the South African government are openly calling for these fleeing people to be murdered and their land seized. Of course, Margaret Brennan of CBS News acts like none of this is true...........

Black Oppressors and Whited Sepulchres - Welcome to the violence-loving, Caucasian-hating monsters in positions of power in South Africa...........Unlike most so-called refugees who have entered the U.S. in recent years, these ones were honest-to-God families – husbands, wives, and small children. Unlike other refugees, moreover, they arrived in the U.S. waving not the flag of their old country but the flag of their new one. Moreover, their gratitude was palpable. Their smiles were infectious. They gave every indication of being law-abiding, hard-working people who would be loyal American citizens and a boon to the U.S., not a burden.......

Afrikaner Double Standard Reminds Me Why I Left the Episcopal Church Behind - After decades of partnering with the U.S. government to serve refugees, The Episcopal Church ended the relationship this week, because the Trump administration asked them to serve refugees whose plight contradicts the woke Left’s grand narrative.........

South Africa Urges White Farmers Not to Relocate to US  A third, surprise issue which drew a lot of attention was President Trump's decision to extend refugee status to white South African farmers, a small group under extreme duress as South Africa's black-majority leftist government seeks to expropriate their land without compensation, leaving the country another Zimbabwe, and enacts discrimination in jobs and everything else, as well as exposes them to physical danger from violent crime which goes unenforced, as some of the political parties are out chanting "kill the Boer." 

It's a textbook case for refugee status, but the left's reaction, screaming unfounded accusations of the refugees as line cutters, vowing to get out of the NGO business to avoid servicing them and other bizarre behavior speaks of a refusal to see what is going on in that country, a refusal to accept the refugees' humanity, and a bias in favor of fake refugees from underdeveloped countries looking for welfare and Americans' jobs, of whom millions have already been let in, fake asylum claims in hand. Trump's allowing of the South Africans in exposed the hypocrisy of the left in its claims about favoring immigrants, and made them look like heartless pigs.   

South Africa’s President Calls Afrikaner Refugees ‘Cowards’ for ‘Running Away’ -Ramaphosa, who styles himself as a pro-business moderate, and is set to speak to U.S. President Donald Trump later this month, made the remark at a surprise visit to a local agricultural convention, where he apparently aimed to change perceptions of the government as hostile to farmers — one reinforced when he signed the Expropriation Act earlier this year, allowing the seizure of property without compensation......“Transformation” refers to South Africa’s policy of redistributing wealth by to race, under penalty of law.....

 South Africa Publishes Steep Race Quotas for Jobs, Fines for Non-Compliance - South Africa’s Department of Labour and Employment published a set of racial quotas this week that applies strict rules across 18 different industries and threatens businesses with steep fines if they do not comply........

Black terrorists talk ‘seizing the means of production’ in South Africa - As the South African government ramps up the persecution of and aggression against white Afrikaners, having passed a new “land reform” law (legalized land seizures without compensation) in January of this year, a clip from a six-year-old Lauren Southern documentary is going viral, reminding the West (and everyone else) that not only is the anti-Boer agenda in South Africa very evil, but very Marxian as well.

South African Police Open ‘Treason’ Investigation into Critics of Government - South African police confirmed Monday that they have opened a “treason” investigation into four individuals who are believed to be associated with Afriforum, a group that advocates for the rights and interests of Afrikaner farmers.

Episcopal Group Quits Refugee Program over South African Arrivals - An Episcopal group is quitting a taxpayer-funded refugee program because President Donald Trump is importing white South Africans whose lives are threatened..............Tutu Lives - The Episcopal Church betrays refugees – because they’re whites from South Africa....... 

The Episcopal Church Will Resettle Muslims, Not Christians - The joke about all the churches and the Jewish groups involved in refugee resettlement is that they’ll resettle anyone and everyone except their own people. Protestant churches and Jewish groups that once got into refugee resettlement to resettle Swedish immigrants and Jewish refugees from Russia will now only resettle Afghans, Somalis and gang members.  Now the Episcopal Church made it official by refusing to resettle Afrikaner refugees from South Africa’s racist criminal regime because they’re the wrong skin color and religion.........

After bringing millions of unvetted migrants into the U.S., the hate-filled left screams about a few dozen white South African refugees - What's with the left? After ushering in tens of millions of unvetted illegal migrants and defending their 'right' to stay with extraordinary tenacity, President Trump lets in about 50 South Africans Boers this week, victims of extreme violence, discrimination, and Hugo Chavez-style land expropriation, and already they're having a cow.  The far-left South African government is hurling abuse at the refugees as they go, and unwittingly making the case that Trump was right all along to grant them that refugee status -- nobody acts like they do without a guilty conscience:............

 

 

Why the Episcopal Church Rejects White South African Refugees

By Joe Schaeffer | May 18, 2025 | @ Liberty Nation News, Tags: Articles, Illegal Immigration, Opinion

The progressive-dominated Episcopal Church has finally found a foreigner it doesn’t want resettled into the US. White South Africans fleeing oppression cannot be welcomed into America because, in the eyes of these religious leftists, that would help bolster a dominant and oppressive “lighter skin tone” (their words) social construct that must be destroyed.

For the progressive activist, the massive unchecked wave of Third World immigration into the West, both legal and illegal, was never about helping vulnerable refugees. It was always about enacting radical social transformation via rapid and undigestible demographic change. Genuine assimilation is the very last thing these people would have wanted. The reasons why should not be hard to grasp. Harmony is the enemy of the social revolutionary. Division and disorder are two of the very best of tools for those eager to topple a hated status quo.

Not the Right Face for a Refugee

“In a striking move that ends a nearly four-decades-old relationship between the federal government and the Episcopal Church, the denomination announced on [May 12] that it is terminating its partnership with the government to resettle refugees, citing moral opposition to resettling white Afrikaners from South Africa who have been classified as refugees by President Trump’s administration,” is how taxpayer-funded progressive NPR reported the news.

In what would seem to be a bizarre justification but in fact is nothing of the sort when one realizes its long-term goals, the Church invoked “racial justice” as a reason to reject the white South Africans.

“In light of our church’s steadfast commitment to racial justice and reconciliation and our historic ties with the Anglican Church of Southern Africa, we are not able to take this step,” a letter from the Most Rev. Sean W. Rowe, presiding bishop of the Episcopal Church, to members states.

The moral opposition goes far beyond 1980s-vintage multicultural rainbow daydreams that have turned into a bloodstained-machete disaster in modern South Africa. Social progressives will not allow themselves to believe that white Westerners can be victims of racial abuse. For this goes against their entire worldview that white racism is the original sin that must be wiped away in order to return Multicultural Humankind to the socially just Garden of Eden.

Episcopal Epistle on Sin and Skin

In a remarkable document some 20 years ahead of its time, the Episcopal Church House of Bishops in 1994 issued a pastoral letter on the “Sin of Racism.” Guess who the great transgressors were?

“In the United States our primary experience is one of white privilege, even in places where whites may be a minority in the surrounding population,” the bishops proclaimed. “This comes as a surprise to many white people, because they do not think of themselves as racist. They may even see themselves as victims of various violent reactions against the dominant culture.”

The next sentences are crucial to understanding why white South Africans cannot be allowed into the US.

“Questions abound. Can the old melting pot image of assimilation be replaced by a better metaphor that reflects the value of difference?” the pastoral letter asks. “How can the inherited privilege and unearned advantage of some people be used to bring about the reconciliation of all?… How can the Episcopal Church, which reflects the dominant culture, be a factor in changing destructive racial attitudes and behaviors?”

Helping to bring more whites into an America that they can easily assimilate into is anathema to these clerical revolutionaries because they believe it will strengthen a society that they have sworn to overthrow.

The Episcopal Church has openly stated that white skin perpetuates “the nature of racism” that has defined America since its founding.

“As it remains in the USA today, racism is a system of oppression grounded in visible physical differences, and is designed to perpetuate the belief that one ‘race’ – defined primarily by its lighter skin tone – is superior to all others,” a 2011 “Antiracism Training Manual of the Episcopal Church” declares. “What transforms it from a prejudice into an oppressive system is the reinforcement that it receives from the systemic exercise of collective power, culturally socialized and institutionally organized.”

That is from an official document of the Episcopal Church.

Mandatory Anti-Racism Training For Priests

Lest we be accused of cherry-picking years-old tracts, allow us to present the Episcopal Diocese of New Jersey’s “Anti-Racism Training 2025” seminar. It starts out with a quote from Black Lives Matter co-founder Alicia Garza stressing that “racism” is a “system of oppression” that serves as “a way of maintaining power for certain groups at the expense of others.”

For Discerning News Hounds

“Systemic racism in America began during the colonial period and continues today. One reason it’s been able to survive is because it’s kept hidden and denied,” the diocese states. Among the topics that make up its Anti-Racism Training Zoom classes are “Systemic Racism and White Privilege,” “Internalized Racism, “Settler Colonialism” and “Racism in Immigration and Naturalization.”

Now here’s the kicker. You can’t be a priest or lay leader in the Episcopal Church in New Jersey without submitting to this education.

“All lay and clergy who hold elected positions on commissions, committees and other bodies of the Diocese of New Jersey must take the training at least every three years,” the diocese orders. “In addition, all clergy new to the Diocese are required to take Anti-Racism within 12 months of their calling.”

Anti-white agitation is not some fringe spoke of the US Episcopal Church today. It is a defining marker. It should be a scandal of the first magnitude that the federal government lavished millions in taxpayer funds to help these cultural radicals pursue their toxic agenda via the NGO mass immigration pipeline.

Biden Embraces Defeat

Brian T. Kennedy  @ The America Mind

It would be easy to attribute the disaster of leaving Afghanistan, both human and strategic, to the incompetence of President Biden and his administration. After all, human incompetence normally explains a lot. But the affairs of a great nation like ours and its military are not the work of one man. There are generals, well-credentialed foreign policy experts, and senior intelligence officials who have devised how best to leave Afghanistan in order to achieve certain strategic and political objectives. The notion that there was a single incompetent decision made to abandon Afghanistan defies both logic and common sense. It was a matter of high government policy that the United States depart Afghanistan, abandon military equipment, and leave both Americans and our allies to the tender mercies of the radical Islamic Taliban.

The exit from Afghanistan, then, appears designed to accomplish two things: first, to demoralize the American military and the American people. Over 22,000 American service personnel have been killed or injured in Afghanistan. Every American knows someone who served there. Knowing full well that the Afghan military would not defend the country, there could be little doubt that the United States was turning the country over to the Taliban. Moreover, the US did so with the appearance of being run out of the country in shame and defeat. One can only assume this was meant to demonstrate to American servicemen that their sacrifice had been in vain, and to the American people that our cause of defending America from the scourge of radical Islam was not just.

How else are sensible people to view the footage of killings, chaos, desperation, harassment, and contempt for the US and our citizens in Kabul? Taken together these images are far more effective tools of propaganda than nearly anything Al-Qaeda and ISIS has employed over the past two decades. Their message is clear: America is weak and resistance to Islam is futile. That is the lesson the Biden Administration has made possible. It is one for which radicals such as Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar have signaled their approval throughout their tenure in Congress.

The second purpose of the Afghan debacle was to signal to the world that the United States has no interest in defending a liberal world order and that from here on out we will not defend either human freedom or our own self-interest, however bizarre that may sound. Even the most serious isolationist would not have left Afghanistan the way we have. A minimum requirement would be to preserve the prestige and credibility of the United States with our allies and to ensure that our enemies would not be emboldened by our fecklessness.

What must Taiwan, Japan, and South Korea think of the United States and our commitments to defend them against the Communist Chinese and their predations in the region? To be sure, Afghanistan does not play a similar role to that of these other nations, whose economies are closely tied to the prosperity and the security of the United States. But for the US to withdraw in this dramatic fashion is to send a signal that we are no longer concerned whether our enemies fear us. They do not, apparently, and that is just fine.

There is a new world order and America has chosen a new place in it. Whereas we were comfortable “leading from behind” during the Obama administration, today the United States is merely one of many other nations doing our best to cooperate in what some have termed a Great Reset. Defending human freedom may have been fine for earlier generations, but what matters today is understanding the grievances and ambitions of other peoples, be it the Islamic world and their deeply held religious convictions or the Communist Chinese and their struggles to find their place atop the world order.

Self-Defeat

Political leanings aside, what of self-interest? There is no clearer evidence of this rejection than the abandonment of Bagram Air Base. Right now, if it were adequately fortified, the United States could have an expeditionary force poised to strike at anyone in the region who meant the US harm. Claremont Institute scholars Mark Helprin and Angelo Codevilla argued for something like this nearly two decades ago, as opposed to the nation-building efforts that proved so painfully misguided. Such a base of operations would not be part of some “forever war,” but rather a forward outpost of US military power capable of defending the American homeland. No nation building, no lectures on LGBTQ rights, just straight national defense.

Leaving Bagram Air Base, and the billions in advanced equipment that was there, with the Afghan military will be seen rightly as an act of submission by the Biden Administration to a global order headed by Communist China. Certainly China, and apparently also Biden, would prefer an America in retreat and withdrawal from the world stage. What better way to demonstrate America’s intentions to the PRC than withdrawing from the region and allowing our most advanced armaments to be taken by America’s enemies?

 An added bonus for the Left is having tens of thousands of Afghan refugees imported to the United States. Whether they were allies of the United States or not is quite beside the point. Many of them will bring with them an Islamic ideology that is incompatible with the Judeo-Christian West. Since the Left no longer believes in the West, they do not care about the threat posed to it by spreading Islamist imports throughout the country.

This stands in stark contrast to President Trump’s America First foreign policy and the simple proposition that if we were going to put America’s soldiers in harm’s way, it had to be for the good of the lives of the American people and the defense of the American way of life. President Trump was guided by prudence and an appreciation of how other nations viewed the United States. This was among the many reasons he was elected in the first place.

After all, Americans were never opposed to staying in Afghanistan so long as our purpose was the single-minded defense of the United States. But once the mission in Afghanistan became first nation building and then imposing America’s left-wing social agendas on the Afghan people, Americans saw precious little that was good for them in the transaction. Losing the sons and daughters of the United States was one thing when we were defending the American people against terrorist attacks. It is quite another when their lives are lost to try and establish democratic institutions in a nation with no experience in civil society, or in pursuit of gender equality for Afghan women in a deeply dysfunctional society that, among other things, sanctions the sexual abuse of children. However desirable certain things may be, it doesn’t mean they are possible or that they are the job of the US military.

What Now?

Finally, it bears stating that those American soldiers who fought in Afghanistan did not die in vain despite the current machinations of the Biden Administration. Those soldiers held the line as their brothers had on distant battlefields before them. They fought the war over there in Afghanistan rather than here on the streets of America. They knew full well they were never going to turn the Afghans into civilized men of the West. However mistaken the policy of our generals and our ruling class to impose woke nonsense on the people of Afghanistan, the men and women of our armed forces were fighting for the people of the United States to live free of the miserable despotism that is Islamic rule. For that they are owed our undying respect and admiration.

The US is not leaving Afghanistan because of some failure on the battlefield. The Greek forces under Alexander the Great were believed to have won every battle they engaged in with the Afghans. Indeed, the superiority of the Greek forces, like the American forces now, were so much greater that there was little honor in the exchange. That we could have killed every last Afghan man, woman and child is quite obvious. That we would have been justified in doing so, given that they harbored Osama Bin Laden and Al-Qaeda, seems less well appreciated.

If it is any consolation, America’s enemies may not have thought us serious to begin with. The world has watched as an American presidential election was conducted in a manner befitting a banana republic; we have failed to build a national missile defense for ourselves or our allies including Taiwan, South Korea and Japan; and, 20 years after September 11th, have yet to hold to account Saudi Arabia who helped perpetrate the attack and Iran who provided intelligence for the execution. That America survives despite all this is nothing short of a strategic miracle.

We are at a moment now like none other in our history. The American political order has been made a mockery of since November 3rd, 2020. Much will be necessary to sort that out. But our credibility on the global stage has now been eradicated and Americans will reasonably wonder whether our union can endure. Now is the time for men of good will to rise to the defense of the American experiment in free government. We should pray it is not too late.

UNRWA’s Bloated Farce

What exactly constitutes a "Palestinian refugee"?

September 10, 2018 Hugh Fitzgerald 

The news that the Trump Administration wants to strip refugee status from millions of “Palestinians” should be welcomed by all people of sense. For the “Palestinian” refugees now include every single descendant of those who left Palestine just before, during, and after the 1947-49 war. That means that if your grandfather, or great-grandfather, left in 1947, thinking he would return as soon as the invading Arab armies finished destroying the nascent state of Israel, you, too, are allowed to call yourself a “Palestinian refugee,” and more importantly, to receive all kinds of aid through UNRWA. The lists of these “Palestinian” refugees  kept by UNRWA keep growing; no descendant ever loses his “refugee” status.

There are more “Palestinian” refugees born every day. It’s an extraordinary situation. No other group of refugees in the world is defined in this most peculiar way. For all other (i.e., non- “Palestinian”) peoples, a refugee is someone who had to leave a particular place to avoid persecution, but his offspring, born in a new country, are not considered to be refugees. Henry Kissinger is a German Jewish refugee. His son is not. Nor is his grandson. Nor his great-grandson. But were Kissinger a “Palestinian,” all of his descendants would be considered to be “Palestinian” refugees. This ever-expanding roll of UNRWA refugees also increases what UNRWA demands, and gets, from bamboozled donors. One more twist to the tale: the “Palestinian” refugees seldom declare that one of their number has died, so dead “Palestinians” remain on the rolls forever.

The millions of “Palestinian” refugees have learned to enjoy the large amounts of aid lavished on them, and they are now long used to the culture of permanent dependence fostered by UNRWA. They find it agrees with them.

But now another note is being sounded in Washington............To Read More....

Refugee Resettlement: The Trojan Horse!
