Israel Bombing Iran Has Already Caused a MAGA Civil War
MAGA seems to be split on whether continuing to fight and fund Israel's wars against the rest of the Middle East is 'America First' or not. Israel bombed multiple cities and nuclear facilities in Iran Thursday night, dragging its U.S. benefactor into a war against what Prime Minister Netanyahu swears is an imminent nuclear threat from Iran. And while Trump and most GOP officials have fallen in line, a recent X poll suggests disharmony among the base on this issue. 'Explain it to me like I am 5 years old,' wrote MAGA loyalist Laura Loomer. 'How is it not AMERICA FIRST to congratulate those who just made sure Islamists who chant 'DEATH TO AMERICA' and who openly plotted to assassinate President @realDonaldTrump never have an opportunity to have a nuke? Explain it to me.' Loomer was rebuked by some of her own fellow MAGA coalition members. 'Explain to me, how is it America First to openly support those who blatantly disregarded our diplomatic efforts in order to get us dragged into another war on behalf of them?' one 'America First' user replied. 'You can't be America first and support billions of dollars going to a foreign nation to sponsor their war. You can't be America first if you want our servicemen to die on behalf of another nation.' 'Iran has 'almost had a nuke' for 30+ years. Read 'The Boy Who Cried Wolf.' Not crying for Iran. Screw em!' an account named 'Silent Patriot' responded. 'But I also haven't forgotten all the children abused by the Mossad/CIA controlled Epstein/Maxwell. This is not good guys vs bad guys. Bad killing bad.' Republican Senator Lindsey Graham giddily egged on Israel's attack. 'Game on. Pray for Israel,' he posted shortly after Israel bombed Iran multiple times. 'War pig says what?' a prominent MAGA account replied. Using taxpayer dollars to help Israel start a war is certainly not 'America First,' and neither are most of Trump's actions compared to his rhetoric. Only time will tell if his base actually catches on.

Homeless Americans watch as Afrikaner 'refugees' arrive for 'better life'
A clip of homeless Americans watching the first group of Afrikaner 'refugees' arriving in the US has gone viral. The video was posted on TikTok by a volunteer who helps feed and care for the displaced. This week, 49 white South Africans arrived in the US as part of President Donald Trump's asylum offer. Ironically, Trump's administration has banned the refugee admissions programme to all other countries until further notice. On his TikTok account @awondthegod3 posted a video of a group of poor Americans he was assisting watching the first group of Afrikaner 'refugees' arrive in their country. In the clip, the Americans shook their heads as they acknowledged that white South Africans would now be collecting a host of benefits, including free housing'. 'What happened to the AMERICA FIRST talk?' he captioned the clip. @awondthegod3 What happened to all of the AMERICAN FIRST TALK??? Oh the lies. Smh #america #afrikaans #homeless #fyp ♬ original sound – 4everblessed46 The TikToker was referring to President Donald Trump's 'America First' policy, which he promoted during his election campaign last year. In another clip, @awondthegod3 – who runs a feeding programme – shared another clip of displaced and hungry Americans, adding: 'If this administration would like to help out another 8000 suffering people, let them know where we are'. 'Americans need help as well', he added. According to the New York Times , Afrikaner 'refugees' in the US would be granted a long list of benefits under the resettlement programme. This included finding 'temporary or longer-term housing' and 'basic home furnishings, essential household items, and cleaning supplies.' The 'refugees' will also receive 'groceries, weather-appropriate clothing, diapers, formula, hygiene products, and prepaid phones that support the day-to-day well-being of the households.' While Afrikaner 'refugees' were granted a pass into the US, the Trump administration has indefinitely halted the US Refugee Admissions Program (USRAP) to all other countries. A month before an Executive Order permitting white South Africans to seek asylum in America was signed, the US's State and Homeland Security paused applications for all refugees into the country. A month later, the Welcome Corps – a refugee government programme introduced by the Joe Biden administration – was terminated. On social media, Americans themselves have questioned the rationale behind Trump's decisions. Let us know by leaving a comment below, or send a WhatsApp to 060 011 021 1 .
