Gov. Healey-Endorsed Massachusetts LGBTQ Nonprofit Advertised Paying White Kids Less Than Black and Brown Kids to Model for Photoshoot on the Basis of ‘Racial Equity’
July 23, 2026

A Framingham, Massachusetts-based LGBTQ youth organization that was endorsed by Governor Maura Healy openly advertised a marketing photoshoot that paid White models less than “people of color” as a “commitment to racial equity.”

The organization, OUT MetroWest Inc., is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that describes its mission as building communities where LGBTQ youth “thrive through social, educational, and supportive programming.”

OUT MetroWest, in coordination with Rose Wine Photography, promoted a “Youth Photoshoot 2026” scheduled for August 12 from 6:00 to 8:30 p.m. at its Framingham headquarters.

According to a report from Mass Daily News, the group sought 20 LGBTQ+ youth, pre-K through age 29, for photos intended for social media, fundraising, and marketing campaigns.

Participants would also have the option of free professional headshots. The sign-up page directed applicants to a Google form and media release.

The original public posting and Google form stated:

“White youth will be paid $20 for participating, and BIPOC youth will be paid $25 for participating, as we plan to use these photos for general and specific marketing. BIPOC youth are paid at a higher rate in align to our commitment to racial equity.”

After the ad went viral and the legal issues were pointed out, the organization changed the fee to $20, with a “possible bonus of $5 for photos used at a higher rate, with prime photo placement.”

Obviously, the revised language could still allow selective race-based handing out of the bonus.

Mass Daily News reports:

Massachusetts’s Fair Employment Practices Act (Chapter 151B) makes it unlawful to discriminate in pay on the basis of race or color for any employer with six or more employees. Federal Title VII of the Civil Rights Act does the same for employers of 15 or more. Both statutes apply to wages and compensation paid for work performed. Whether an unpaid or lightly-compensated participant in a marketing photoshoot qualifies as a worker for the purpose of those statutes is the point at which the legal analysis turns.

But publicly advertising a rate card that pays participants differently based on race is ordinarily the kind of thing the Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination is set up to look at, and the racial-symmetry of the two laws means the differential does not become legally invisible because it pays white participants less. Title VII and Chapter 151B are race-neutral prohibitions.

The organization claims to serve more than 375 youth and their families each year across the region, with free programs for ages pre-K through 29, participation in local Pride events, and education sessions.

Financial filings show recent annual revenue in the hundreds of thousands of dollars from private donors and foundations.

After the ad drew public attention and backlash, with many pointing out that discrimination based on race is illegal, the group changed the language.

Democrat Governor Healey continues to list the group among official state LGBTQ youth resources.

The governor has not publicly responded to the organization’s discriminatory practices.

AOC Gets TORCHED After Getting Caught Spreading This Huge Lie About the U.S. House’s $1 Trillion Defense Bill

AOC Gets TORCHED After Getting Caught Spreading This Huge Lie About the U.S. House’s $1 Trillion Defense Bill
July 23, 2026

Screencap: AOC on X

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) is getting dragged after spreading an easily-provable falsehood about the House of Representatives’ recently passed defense bill.

On Wednesday, the House passed its version of the FY2027 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) in a 219-206 vote.

The bill allocates more than $1.1 trillion in funding for the U.S. military. It now heads to the Senate, where the path forward is murky.

The legislation also left Section 219 intact, a provision that calls for closer U.S.-Israel defense integration on a variety of critical issues.

The day before the vote, AOC asserted that Section 219 would combine the U.S. and Israel military, creating “an existential threat to American sovereignty and democracy.”

“Tomorrow, the House will vote on the NDAA, which includes a provision to merge parts of our military with the IDF,” AOC wrote on X. “This amendment is an existential threat to American sovereignty and democracy.”

“Every member of Congress must vote NO.”

But unsurprisingly, AOC is spreading a massive lie to pander to her Jew-hating supporters. The bill directs the Pentagon to cooperate with Israel on a variety of defense issues, but it does not merge the two militaries or place the US under the IDF’s command.

Per Grok:

**No, AOC is not accurately describing it.**

Section 219 (House NDAA FY2027) creates the U.S.-Israel Defense Technology Cooperation Initiative. It directs the Pentagon to designate an executive agent to speed up joint R&D, identify Israeli-origin tech for integration into U.S. systems/programs of record, support co-production, data fusion/network integration, and industrial cooperation in areas like drones, AI, cyber, missiles, and quantum.

It does **not** merge military commands, put U.S. forces under IDF control, or transfer decision-making authority to Israel. No joint operational structures or troop integration.

Americans, led by EPA chief Lee Zeldin, quickly pounced on AOC’s lie and completely destroyed her.

Roger Stone on the Media’s Destruction of One of the Most Consequential Presidents of the 20th Century – Richard Nixon

Roger Stone wrote an excellent piece on the Deep State’s attacks on Richard Nixon.  This was brilliant.  Here are some of his comments:

For more than 50 years the political establishment, the liberal media, the academic historians, and far too many weak-kneed, lily-livered, white wine swilling country club Republicans have repeated the same dishonest caricature of Richard Nixon.

They told Americans that Nixon was a sinister, paranoid, power hungry president whose resignation proved the righteousness of the Washington, D.C. establishment. They were wrong. They reduced one of the most consequential presidents of the 20th century to a third-rate hotel burglary he neither planned nor authorized. They ignored his enormous accomplishments, concealed the misconduct of his enemies, and conveniently forgot the cowardice of the Republican leaders who abandoned him when he needed them most.

Now, half a century later, a new generation is discovering the truth. Due to the deft marketing skills of two young officials at the Nixon Foundation, James Byron, the President and CEO of the Nixon Foundation, and Chris Barber, their marketing director—a whole new generation of young people is being introduced to Richard Nixon, the truth about Watergate, and his exceptional record as President.

This is an endeavor in which I have been engaged for over a decade—having written two books, Nixon’s Secrets: The Rise, Fall, and Untold Truth about the President, Watergate, and the Pardon, as well as Tricky Dick: The Rise and Fall and Rise of Richard M. Nixon.

This reappraisal of our 37th President was kicked off by remarks at the Nixon Presidential Library by Vice President JD Vance who said, “And by the way, if you look at the story of how the deep state took down Richard Nixon, it’s not all that different from what the same groups of people — the same institutions — tried to do to Donald Trump in the first Trump administration. There is a parallel.”

Because there was no internet in 1974, Nixon faced a monolithically hostile media. Unlike Trump, there was no internet from which he could launch a defense and counterattack. It’s also not surprising that Nixon himself was dazed and confused by the events leading up to and culminating in the Watergate break-in. In fact, White House Counsel John Dean, the man who planned, pushed, and covered up the Watergate break-in, lied to Nixon about the White House’s knowledge of Watergate for nineteen months and went so far as to exclude the transcripts of his most damning conversations with Nixon from his book, The Nixon Defense: What He Knew and When He Knew, which was supposed to be the definitive transcription of all of the Nixon White House recordings. Nixon-hating historian Stanley I. Kutler went so far as to rearrange the order of Dean’s taped conversations with Nixon in an effort to distort Dean’s true role, as reported by The New York Times.

Watergate prosecutors knew there were glaring inconsistencies between Dean’s testimony to the FBI, the Senate Watergate Committee, and his own book, Blind Ambition. Newsmax’s James Rosen has reported on declassified documents that prove the CIA knew in advance about the Watergate break-in, that at least four of the Watergate burglars had ties to the agency, and that Watergate prosecutor Nick Akerman knew this and did nothing.

Senate Watergate Committee Chairman Sam Ervin prohibited Senator Howard Baker and his counsel, later Senator Fred Thompson, from publishing this in the committee’s Minority Report.

There is probably no better or more succinct summary of Nixon’s rise and fall than that by his former speechwriter, Patrick J. Buchanan.

They call this new phenomenon on social media “Nixonmaxxing.” Through the efforts of the Nixon Foundation, utilizing social media videos, archival speeches, photographs, interviews, campaign memorabilia, and a growing fascination with Nixon’s unmistakable style, young conservatives are reconsidering the man they were taught to despise. They see a president who was tough, intelligent, disciplined, patriotic, and willing to challenge the permanent political class. They see a man who rose from poverty through determination and hard work, endured repeated political defeats, and returned each time stronger than before. They see a leader who understood the forgotten Americans long before the consultants in Washington discovered that they existed.

To those now experiencing this Nixon awakening, I have only one thing to say:

I told you so. I was there. I worked for Richard Nixon. I knew the man behind the grotesque media caricature, and he was nothing like the monster portrayed by the professional Nixon haters. Richard Nixon was a fundamentally good and decent man. He loved his wife, Pat. He loved his daughters. He loved his country. He was generous to friends, loyal to those who served him, and deeply moved by the struggles of ordinary Americans because he had lived those struggles himself.

Nixon was not born into wealth or privilege. There was no family fortune waiting for him, no elite political dynasty clearing his path, and no fashionable social circle embracing his ambitions. He came from Yorba Linda, California and grew up in a family of modest means, worked in his parents’ grocery store, attended Whittier College, and earned his place at Duke University School of Law. He served in the United States Navy during World War II and built his career through intelligence, perseverance, and a capacity for work that astonished even those closest to him.

He was not polished in the manner preferred by the Georgetown cocktail circuit. He did not possess the physical grace or inherited wealth of John F. Kennedy, who enjoyed a fawning press corps.

Author Theodore H. White, who wrote the famous Making of the Presidents series of books, starting in 1960, was actually baffled why the Nixon staff would object to his riding the Nixon campaign plane as a reporter while wearing a Kennedy For President button.

Eastern and media establishment hostility toward Nixon began with his successful effort as a House member to correctly identify one of Franklin Roosevelt’s key aides Alger Hiss as a Russian communist spy. That the grocer’s son from a hardscrabble background exposed the urbane Harvard educated Hiss. When the Soviet Union fell, publicly released KGB documents confirmed that Hiss was indeed a Russian communist spy. With Nixon’s hard-hitting 1950 Senate race against left-leaning Hollywood actress and Congresswoman Hellen Gahagan Douglas, who Pulitzer Prize winner Robert Caro correctly identified as a mistress of Lyndon Johnson, both won Nixon the long-term enmity of the American left.

‘Other Jewish Guy Named Josh’: Squad Attack on Moderate Dem Collapses in Embarrassing Mix-Up and Get Hit With Their Own Ukraine Votes

‘Other Jewish Guy Named Josh’: Squad Attack on Moderate Dem Collapses in Embarrassing Mix-Up and Get Hit With Their Own Ukraine Votes
July 23, 2026

Josh Gottheimer

No one has ever accused “Squad” members of being bright.

In an embarassing mix up that unfolded on social media, far-left “Squad” members Rep. Summer Lee (D-PA) and Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) attacked moderate Democrat Rep. Josh Gottheimer (D-NJ) after he criticized the growing influence of Democratic Socialists of America(DSA) in his party.

Gottheimer called the DSA “anti-American bomb-throwers” who want to hijack the party.

In a post on X, Gottheimer responded to recent remarks from fake news CNN contributor and longtime left-wing activist Van Jones, who expressed his disgust that the radical DSA faction is devouring his party.

Gottheimer wrote, “I’m glad to see other Democrats reiterating what I’ve been saying all along: the DSA are not Democrats. They’re socialists, who want to hijack the Democratic Party.”

“The Democrats have a big tent. That’s our strength. We embrace a range of ideas — but there’s no room for anti-American bomb-throwers who oppose our ideas, values, & leaders.”

Lee and Omar attacked him in response, but, embarrassingly, they can’t seem to keep their Jewish Joshs straight.

Lee accused him of signing “bombs” and voting to drop them.

It was, in fact, another Josh, Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro (D), who had signed a Ukraine-bound artillery shell during a photo op in 2024.

Gottheimer quipped back, “You know that’s the other Jewish guy named Josh, right? ”

Omar defended Lee and doubled down, without correcting the embarrassing blunder, writing on X, “He signed the bombs you voted to be dropped. Hope this helps!”

Gottheimer added to the humiliation by pointing out that both Lee and Omar voted for a major $60.8 billion Ukraine aid package in April 2024 before ‘the other Josh’ signed the shell and shared the House roll call to highlight the hypocrisy.

“Ilhan, you know who else voted for it? You.”

Al Sharpton Wants Democrats to Make South Carolina the First Primary State in 2028 – Can You Guess Who Would Benefit From That?

Al Sharpton Wants Democrats to Make South Carolina the First Primary State in 2028 – Can You Guess Who Would Benefit From That?
July 23, 2026

Kamala Harris

In the 2020 Democratic primary, Joe Biden was floundering until he won the primary race in South Carolina, which was mostly delivered to him by black voters at the behest of Rep. Jim Clyburn.

Al Sharpton likes this model and wants Democrats to make South Carolina their first primary state. He obviously likes the idea of black voters there playing a bigger role in selecting the party’s nominee for 2028.

The obvious beneficiary of this plan would be Kamala Harris, who is actually leading among Democrats in some 2028 polls.

The Hill reports:

Civil rights leader Rev. Al Sharpton on Wednesday pushed for South Carolina to remain the first Democratic primary in the 2028 presidential election.

In a Wednesday press release from the South Carolina Democratic Primary, Sharpton said that “Black voters have shown up for the Democratic Party again and again.”

“South Carolina hasn’t just cast votes in the presidential primary, time after time; it decided the nomination, and ultimately the presidency,” Sharpton added in his statement. “If South Carolina gets quietly bumped after one cycle of convenient praise, that sends a message louder than any speech at a Democratic dinner: the gratitude was performance, not policy.”

According to Census data, Black people make up around 25 percent of the South Carolina’s population, nearly double the U.S.’s overall Black population percentage of around 12 percent.

This week, members of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) are set to meet in Washington, D.C. to vote on the states which could be some of the first to vote in the 2028 Democratic primary.

Right now, most bets are on Kamala Harris or Gavin Newsom to be the Democratic nominee in 2028, but AOC could give the establishment a run for their money.

The DSA folks have already indicated that they will be thrilled if she decided to throw her hat into the ring.

Either way, it’s going to be a circus for sure.
