The reputation of “politician” precedes any civil servant, so right off the bat, I hold a less-than-flattering bias against those entering government (to put it mildly); it’s a “guilty until proven innocent” prejudice, but I will say, it’s evenly applied.
Then last week, Michelle Wu, Boston’s hardcore leftist mayor, opened her big mouth and showed (again) just how right on the money one can be when you operate under the assumption that ineptitude and uselessness are shared traits amongst elected officials.
On September 7th, Wu declared a “heat emergency” saying temperatures were expected to reach into the… ready for this? The nineties. (Turns out, Thursday the 7th peaked at 89°F and Friday reached 88°F.) From the Boston government’s press release:
‘The impacts of climate change are more palpable than ever, with extreme heat posing risk to our communities,’ said Mayor Michelle Wu. ‘Although extreme heat affects Bostonians of all ages, with the new school year starting, our Boston Public Schools staff will be following protocols to ensure our kids have an enjoyable, safe first week back at school.’
Barely out of August on the East Coast? That’s still summer, and these are normal summer temperatures. Let me guess, could one confuse “safe” back-to-school “protocols” with a mock climate lockdown of sorts? People, in this case children, padlocked inside, out of the fresh (albeit warm) air, under toxic EMF-emitting LED lights, stagnant and very inactive—two words come to mind: predictive programming.
Wu’s statement continued, noting that the city would staff “cooling centers” at 15 community centers, and she also included a list of “safety tips” on how to deal with warmer temperatures. Among the tips you could find sage advice like “stay hydrated” and “wear appropriate clothing” and “keep cool with … shade, and air conditioning or fans.”

But Pedo-Joe is trying to do away with our current air conditioners and fans as well as destroying our power generation industry. Is this just trying to condition people for a “Climate Lockdown”?
Amazed that they didn’t go all in and...
“Heat emergency! Nobody can carry guns because...reasons.”
here we go folks
they are working up to declaring a national climate emergency
this heat emergency is to get the ball rolling
The TEACHERS probably wanted a day off!!
It’s ridiculous. For the 30+ years I’ve lived in DFW, ever summer almost every day has been in triple-digits starting in July.
And now this year, every day is a “Heat Emergency”, we never had those before. We all survived somehow.
Just ridiculous -89 degree emergency.
a national climate emergency is game over
the bill of rights will go in the dustbin
everyone will be forced to give up liberty for the greater good of fighting climate change
game over or game on?
High 80’s?
That would be a cool day here in Florida!...................
thats not the point
it is about conditioning people to the notion of a climate emergency
In Texas I’d be putting on a jacket.
I recall a day in the 1980s, not sure exactly when, but on the evening news the entire weather map of the contiguous 48 states was a solid red, indicating temperatures of 90 degrees or more. From New England, Minnesota, Washington State, everywhere, on south. The news guys found it quite interesting, hadn’t seen it before, commented on it, like, Wow look at that, and moved on to the next story. Imagine, if that happened today— We’d never hear the end of what an existential crisis it signified. We’d have calls for Congressional action! mobilize the UN! Call the pentagon! All of government!
Well it’s a dry heat!..............
Wu-Wu has proven multiple times that she is an Anti-American moron. Boston is one of the safest big cities in the country, but if Bostonians keep electing morons like her, it’ll be Baltimore within a decade!!!
Radical Leftists are “testing” the concept of pushing the envelope of “emergency powers” to see what they might be able to get away with during the 2024 election. See New Mexico and their Gov’s whacked out “health emergency” BS
High 80’s?
Heat emergency?
{snicker}
LOL, we are experiencing a cool down in So Cal - where temps have dipped to 88 degrees.
I imagine it’s far worse in Phoenix, Las Vegas and other places across the Southwest.
Suck it up Boston, YOU voted for this.
Yes, of course. Actually l’m glad he did this when he did. Anyone can see how preposterous it is and it exposes it for what it is.
Solution, raise taxes and confiscate all firearms.
