Local news still has a bite!

If your money was on President Trump staying away from Saturday night’s Discovery Gala because of politics, well, you can kiss those Benjamins goodbye.

So what if his executive order on immigration is creating a backlash among the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute’s medical professionals, who are urging organizers to find a less politically charged venue for the event. It’s a party, and POTUS and his FLOTUS — she dressed in eye-catching magenta — were both in high spirits, having just returned from a triumphant rally in Melbourne and what pundits are describing as the first political rally of the 2020 campaign.

This was about celebrating, not politics.

Celebrating, from the Latin root celebrare meaning “assemble to honor” and not politics, from the Greek roots poli meaning “many” and tics, meaning “bloodsucking little creatures.”
