Boston Mayor Michelle Wu was all smiles as she was joined by other city and state leaders at a 'no whites' holiday reception Wednesday evening. 'I'm proud to host many many of these across all different types of collations,' Wu said outside of the controversial event. The segregated holiday party for 'electeds of color' has been held for years in Boston, but garnered scrutiny this year after an email invitation was sent to all 13 members of the city council, only for them to be rescinded from the seven white councilors 15 minutes later.

A 2 hour party for 12 people sounds like a snoozefest to me. IMO, if I were among the council members who were uninvited from the party, I would throw a Christmas party and invite ALL the council members and their families. Then, I would tell the media that in the spirit of the season it's especially important to celebrate the "I" in DEI ~ as opposed to the lip service the left always gives it. Additionally, the white council members would be living out Proverbs 25:21-22, showing Boston who the real racists are and how small-minded Wu and her cohorts are. IOW, they shouldn't emulate the non-white council members, stooping to their level.

This is going to be the way it is done going forward. Count on it. These racist democrat hypocrites know no shame. They are trying their best to marginalize whites and are proud of it. Each day another thing happens that would have been impossible just a few years ago. Democrats believe they re in the ascendancy and their hubris knows no end. Can you even begin to imagine what their policies would really contain if they had free reign? We would be thrown into a state of apartheid against whites. These people are vicious, morally corrupt, and determined to move their evil agenda forward.

Just like the story in the gospel of the man holding a banquet that no one attended, so he sent messengers out to invite people on the streets, the remaining city council members need to have their own bigger and better party, and open it to people at homeless shelters.

#21, the issue is that the party was held in a building that's owned by the city (in other words, by the taxpayers). Having an event that is segregated by race at a public accommodation is a clear violation of the law. I hope a Boston taxpayer sues the city for this, but I'm pretty sure there will be no consequences for anyone.

Blatant Racism, but that's OK as long as it's against White people. I checked, and to my surprise the Boston Herald actually had an article on it . "Battenfeld: Michelle Wu defends holiday party excluding white city councilors Boston Mayor Michelle Wu’s publicly hosted holiday party excluding white elected officials is questionable optics and judgment for someone who is supposed to be uniting the city." Note the wording...... they studiously avoid the terms 'Racial Discrimination' and 'Racist'. She's still in the Leftist Club. Won't nothing happen to her.

Imagine the citizens of Boston building neighborhood swimming pools for "Whites Only." Would Mayor Wu smilingly be on hand to cut the ribbon, then be uninvited to the inaugural pool party? I've always hated the term, "fill-in-the-blank of color." In the 1850 Louisiana census, one side of my mixed Scotts-Irish/Cherokee/Choctaw, Native American family was listed as Free Persons of Color (FPC), the name at the time to delineate American Indians of the "Five Civilized Tribes," who were not subject to slavery, but also a reminder that while they were not slaves, they had no permanent property rights for their homestead farms, which could be taken over by and deeded to carpetbagging whites, including lazy but greedy Bostonians, who didn't participate in clearing the land, digging water wells, building houses, fences, and barns, and raising animals and crops. The family only prospered by sending their sons to fight for the U.S. military in the latter half of the 19th century and the first half of the 20th century. My father's service in WWII and Korea helped move my family into the American middle class. I joined the military at 17, volunteering to do my part during the second half of the 20th century. Boston in 2023, has that 1850 FPC stench to it. Semper Fi.

The Palestinian terrorist group Hamas fired rockets toward Jerusalem on Friday evening, as both Jews and Muslims were participating in prayers, endangering the Dome of the Rock, the Western Wall, and the Al-Aqsa Mosque. The rockets were intercepted and disabled by Israel’s Iron Dome missile defense system, whose trails could be seen across the evening sky. This is astounding. Hamas fired rockets over the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, the third holiest site in the world for Muslims.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said the talks had made 'good progress' on Thursday on a package that would include money for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan and would bolster border security measures in exchange. One idea under consideration is to allow Homeland Security officials to stop migrants from applying for asylum at the southern border if the total number of crossings on a day exceeds 5,000.

Rudy Giuliani faces financial ruin after a court ordered him to pay an astonishing $148 million for defaming two Georgia election workers he accused of trying to steal the 2020 election for Joe Biden. The bombshell verdict dealt a catastrophic blow to the 79-year-old former New York mayor and was vindication for election workers Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, who said his allegations caused a flood of threats that made their lives hell. The mother-daughter duo said Giuliani's lies that they engaged in ballot fraud to rig the election against Donald Trump made them scared to leave their homes and unable to get jobs.

Chicago spent nearly $1million to build a migrant camp on a toxic site, as the city continues to struggle with a massive surge of asylum seekers, with officials now impounding incoming buses. Official records seen by ABC 7 show the city spent more than $985,000 on the shuttered migrant camp at a Brighton Park lot - despite warnings that the site was not safe and outrage by locals, including a lawsuit. The nearly $1million bill is not much compared to the total expected cost of the camp, which was mostly financed by the state government under a $125million contract with a private contractor.

Republicans are making “historic voter registration gains” in key battleground states, the Republican National Committee (RNC) told Breitbart News, sharing critical data sets as the 2024 election draws closer. Recent data show the tremendous strides Republicans have taken in the last few years, especially in Florida, as the GOP formally overtook Democrats in terms of voter registration for the first time in November 2021. In 2023 alone, Republican voter registration in the Sunshine State nearly doubled, as the GOP ended 2022 with a 383,954 voter advantage over Democrats. Republicans now have a 680,030 voter advantage.

Additionally, federal workers were instructed to take rail for trips less than 250 miles when cost-effective and feasible rather than flying.

In an extreme move to address the climate “crisis” and the state’s infamous water droughts, California may be looking to utilize “toilet to tap” conversions. In a tentative vote reportedly planned for next week, the California State Water Resources Control Board may vote on a measure that would allow sewage water to be converted into purportedly safe drinking water. Under the proposed plan, wastewater that is currently treated and released into oceans and rivers, and used for field irrigation, may be “treated at a higher level” and then sent “back into the main water supply over the course of hours to days,” the Washington Examiner reported.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said the talks had made 'good progress' on Thursday on a package that would include money for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan and would bolster border security measures in exchange. One idea under consideration is to allow Homeland Security officials to stop migrants from applying for asylum at the southern border if the total number of crossings on a day exceeds 5,000.

A new government-funded study out of Britain, conducted by scientists at the U.K. Center for Ecology and Hydrology, purports to show that “human breathing is contributing to greenhouse gas emissions.” Therefore, the study authors are urging "caution in the assumption that emissions from humans are negligible." The peer-reviewed study published Wednesday in the Public Library of Science's journal PLOS One investigated greenhouse gas emissions of methane and nitrous oxide in human breath, which allegedly "contribute to global warming." Well, there it is! I knew it was coming! Are you serious about stopping global warming? Well, then, just stop breathing! What a boon to depopulationists!
