Forbes: What To Know About White South African Refugees Landing In The U.S.
Dozens of Afrikaner refugees from South Africa arrived in Washington, D.C., as part of President Trump's initiative to accept those claiming persecution by their government. Trump labeled the situation in South Africa a "genocide" against white farmers, despite the South African government's denial of his claims.
The refugees were carefully vetted and are set to be resettled across various states. The Episcopal Church announced it would end its refugee resettlement agreements due to concerns over preferential treatment for Afrikaners over other vulnerable groups.

Breitbart: Marine Le Pen Blasts French Prez Macron for 'Fomenting War' in Ukraine
Marine Le Pen criticized President Macron and European leaders for their approach to the Ukraine conflict, suggesting they risk escalating tensions instead of fostering peace. She emphasized the need for mediation rather than military escalation and expressed greater confidence in Donald Trump's peace strategy.
Macron's hardline stance contrasts with his earlier calls for peace talks, as he now advocates for increased sanctions against Russia and a European military coalition for Ukraine. Critics warn this could lead to a more significant EU military presence and further complicate the situation.
Breitbart: Report: China Bought over $1 Billion of Sanctioned Venezuelan Oil Labeled 'Brazilian'
Traders have rebranded over $1 billion of Venezuelan oil as Brazilian crude to bypass U.S. sanctions, with China being a major buyer. This practice, which includes altering shipment documentation and signals, emerged after sanctions were imposed on Venezuela's state oil company in 2019.
Despite the U.S. temporarily lifting sanctions in late 2023, the Venezuelan regime continued its oppressive tactics, leading to fraudulent elections. Reports indicate that Chinese refiners exploit the rebranding to import Venezuelan oil without affecting government quotas, further complicating international oil trade dynamics.

Breitbart: Secretary of Energy Chris Wright Plans to Cut 47 Regulations 'Driving Up Costs and Lowering Quality of Life'
U.S. Secretary of Energy Chris Wright has announced a significant deregulatory initiative, proposing the elimination of 47 regulations he claims are increasing costs and diminishing quality of life for Americans. This effort is described as the largest in the department's history and aims to rescind various consumer appliance standards from the Biden administration.
Wright anticipates that these changes will save Americans approximately $11 billion and streamline federal regulations by removing over 125,000 words from the Code of Federal Regulations. This initiative aligns with President Trump's executive order promoting periodic review of energy regulations to ensure they serve the public good.
