Former Houston appointee claims flood-ravaged Camp Mystic is 'Whites-only' in viral video
[FoxNews] A former appointee to a Houston city board recently came under fire for claiming that a Texas summer camp devastated by flooding was "White-only, conservative [and] Christian."

Sade Perkins, a former member of the Houston Food Insecurity Board, made the claims about Camp Mystic in Hunt, Texas, in a TikTok video this weekend.

The office of Houston Mayor John Whitmire confirmed to Fox News Digital that Perkins posted the video. She was appointed by former Mayor Sylvester Turner in 2023, and her term expired in January 2025.

In her video, Perkins began by predicting that she was "probably gonna get canceled for this."

"But Camp Mystic is a Whites-only girls Christian camp," Perkins continued. "They don't even have a token Asian, they don't have a Token Black person, it is a all White, White-only conservative Christian camp."

"If you ain't White, you ain't right," she claimed. "You ain't getting in, you ain't going, period."

Perkins added, "It's not to say that we don't want the girls to be found, whatever girls that are missing… but you best believe, especially in today's political climate, if this were a group of Hispanic girls….this would not be getting this type of coverage that they're getting. No one would give a f--k."

The former appointee said that she intended "no shade" for the girls who were missing or killed due to the flood, and said that she "hope[s] they all get found," but suggested that there was too much sympathy for them.

"They want you to have sympathy for these people. They want to get out of your bed and to come out of your home and to go find these people and to donate your money to go to find these people," Perkins said in the video.

"Meanwhile, they are deporting your family members. Meanwhile, they're setting up concentration camps and prisons for your family members. And I need you all to keep that in mind before you all get out there and put on your rain boots and go find these little girls."

Speaking to Fox News, Whitmire's office said that Perkins would not be reappointed to the board, and called her comments "deeply inappropriate."

"The comments shared on social media are deeply inappropriate and have no place in a decent society, especially as families grieve the confirmed deaths and the ongoing search for the missing," the statement from the mayor's office read.

"Mayor John Whitmire will not reappoint her and is taking immediate steps to remove her permanently from the board."

Sometime by noon today will be fine.

#3  #2 apparently the so called pediatrician is no longer employed. She most definitely got what she "voted for" thanks to people following any and all posts on social media, which I now refer to as "sociopathic media".

#6  Breitbart has an article about how Rosie O'Donnell is blaming Trump for the flood. I won't post a link to the article. This is a complaint about Breitbart. I'm sick and tired of seeing headlines about what Rosie O'Donnell or any other liberal has-been celebrity thinks. I don't care what these people think because none of them are what you call deep thinkers. Doesn't Breitbart have anything better to do?

#7  What's wrong with Whites?
No one says Africa is racists b/c it is all black.
No one says China is racists b/c it is all yellow.
No one says India is racists b/c is smells like curry.
BET, Black Planet, Black History Month, Pride Days, Pride Months, Pride Parades, Diversity Councils... But a white camp is racist?
Am getting sick of all these racists. Am over it.

#8  The point is that any old whack job can say ridiculous things like this and the media pays attention to them as if they have some kind of credibility when the really don't. They're just whack jobs and nobody should pay any attention to them.

They're just whack jobs and nobody should pay any attention to them.

Except for those who treat patients or are in other positions of authority and influence. Those deserve the closest attention.

DHS says mainstream media is 'deliberately lying' about events leading up to Texas flooding
[FoxNews] The Department of Homeland Security argued that the mainstream media is "deliberately lying" about what led up to the catastrophic flooding in Texas that killed dozens of people and left many others unaccounted for.

"The mainstream media is deliberately lying about the events leading up to the catastrophic flooding in Texas," DHS wrote on X.

"The National Weather Service executed timely, precise forecasting and warnings, despite unprecedented rainfall overwhelming the region," it continued.

The agency also provided a timeline of the National Weather Service's "proactive response" to the storm beginning on Thursday morning.

"The National Weather Service provided over 12 hours of advance notice via the Flood Watch and over 3 hours of lead time for Flash Flood Warnings, with escalated alerts as the storm intensified," DHS wrote.

#2  How difficult would it be to attach some float switches to a tornado siren? I believe the technology is already there.

#3  ^#1 - the TV news last night focused on a local emergency guy who would not answer, 'why were there no evacuations based on all the warnings?'

I think they found a scapegoat.

#5  Texas summer camp evacuated 70 staying near river ahead of flooding: 'Saw it coming'

Despite the absence of warning by local authorities, camp officials at Mo-Ranch acted quickly on their own, relocating about 70 children and adults staying overnight in a building near the river.

#7  A common chilling occurrence this summer has been unnecessary drownings sustained by people (often children) who persist in never using or being provided PFD's by their caretakers. Mainsteam media seems reluctant to make this a point in their reporting.

#8  Did you see that Texas signed a cloud seeding contract I believe two days before the July 4th flooding.

#9  Mainsteam media seems reluctant to make this a point in their reporting.

That's because they'd rather blame Trump.

#10  Seems to me I recall when I was a kid reading in the old Boy Scout Handbook that you should choose a camp site near water but high enough so you don't get flooded.

#11  Don’t hike or camp in the wadi — even I know that one.

A school group was swept away in Israel while on a hike a few years ago when the wadi suddenly flooded.

#12  Flood waters contain trees & branches, brush, fencing, rocks, stc. Even if you are a great swimmer, it's a tough challenge (even with PFDs)

#13  Flash floods are particularly dangerous down in the Grand Canyon. Hikers there die now & then when hit by a flash flood when they have zero idea that any rain has fallen in the Canyon.
