A woman pled guilty on Thursday to calling in a fake bomb threat at <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/boston-childrens-hospital" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Boston Children&#8217;s Hospital</a> while the hospital was at the center of a controversy about its transgender youth surgery program.
Catherine Leavy, 37, <a href="https://www.justice.gov/usao-ma/pr/westfield-woman-pleads-guilty-making-hoax-bomb-threat-against-boston-childrens-hospital" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pled guilty</a> in Boston federal court to one count of making a false bomb threat and one count of intentionally conveying false or misleading information that a bomb was on the way to the hospital, prosecutors said in a press release Thursday.
Leavy called in the hoax bomb threat in August of last year, just as Boston Children’s Hospital was facing a flood of criticism over its transgender youth surgery program. The next month, Leavy was arrested at her home just west of Springfield. She was charged and later indicted by a federal grand jury in October.
She is scheduled to be sentenced in March and faces a maximum of 10 years in prison for the false bomb threat, the more serious charge. The other charge carries five years in prison, and both carry three years of supervised release and a fine of up to $250,000.
On August 30 last year, the hospital got a call in which the caller said, “There is a bomb on the way to the hospital, you better evacuate everybody, you sickos.”
The hospital and nearby area was put on lockdown, and a bomb squad arrived on the scene, but no explosive devices were found.
When police showed up at her house, Leavy expressed her disapproval of Boston Children’s Hospital in an interview with law enforcement, but she said she had no plan to actually bomb the hospital, according to the DOJ.

Last summer, the hospital, which is one of the nation&#8217;s top hospitals and affiliated with Harvard Medical School, came under fire from critics over its transgender surgeries available to children.
Boston Children’s Hospital’s Center for Gender Surgery <a href="https://www.childrenshospital.org/treatments/chest-reconstruction" rel="noopener">lists</a> chest surgery with parental consent for girls 15 and up who identify as male.
Initially, the hospital&#8217;s website had <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220725014638/https://www.childrenshospital.org/treatments/vaginoplasty" target="_blank" rel="noopener">stated</a> 17-year-olds could qualify for vaginoplasty surgery, but that language was removed, and the hospital <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/pediatric-gender-clinics-scrub-their-websites-amidst-criticism-of-gender-related-treatments">claimed</a> it was &#8220;misinformation&#8221; that they ever performed transgender genital surgeries on minors.
The hospital also <a href="https://www.childrenshospital.org/programs/transgender-reproductive-health-service" target="_blank" rel="noopener">lists</a> &#8220;gender-affirming hysterectomies&#8221; for women 18 and older.
Over the last few years, critics have <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/st-louis-clinic-ditches-transgender-care-for-minors-over-law-exposing-doctors-to-lawsuits">sounded the alarm</a> about the permanent effects of both gender hormone treatments such as puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones and surgical procedures, especially on children.
The number of gender surgeries nearly tripled in the U.S. from 2016 to 2019, according to an <a href="https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle/2808707?utm_source=For_The_Media&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=ftm_links&amp;utm_term=082323" target="_blank" rel="noopener">analysis</a> published Wednesday in JAMA Network Open. In 2016, there were about 4,550 procedures, and that number spiked to around 13,000 in 2019.
Hundreds of girls in the U.S., some as young as 12, <a href="https://www.medpagetoday.com/pediatrics/generalpediatrics/101252?xid=nl_mpt_DHE_2022-10-17&amp;eun=g394940d0r&amp;utm_source=Sailthru&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=Daily%20Headlines%20Evening%202022-10-17&amp;utm_term=NL_Daily_DHE_dual-gmail-definition" target="_blank" rel="noopener">have gotten</a> elective, gender-related double mastectomies to remove their healthy breasts over the last few years.
Meanwhile, it is more popular than ever for youth to adopt new gender identities. An estimated 300,000 minors aged 13 to 17 <a href="https://williamsinstitute.law.ucla.edu/press/transgender-estimate-press-release/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">identified</a> as transgender as of last year.

You remember Ibram X. Kendi. 
He’s a genius. How do I know he’s a genius? He’s such a genius that he actually won a MacArthur “genius grant” in 2021. The grant was a $625,000 no-strings-attached fellowship honoring his “exceptional creativity, scholarly achievements, gift for communicating his antiracist work and ideas with diverse audiences.”
<a href="https://www.bu.edu/articles/2021/ibram-x-kendi-macarthur-fellows-genius-grant-winner/#:~:text=The%20%24625%2C000%20no%2Dstrings%2Dattached,promise%20for%20further%20benefiting%20society&amp;text=Boston%20University's%20Ibram%20X." target="_blank" rel="noopener">Boston University</a> gave him an anti-racist grant. For those who have not followed the prodigious career of Ibram X. Kendi, the founder of the new Center for Antiracist Research, he is the author of a bunch of mediocre books and he speaks nonsense for a living. The nonsense that he speaks is all about how America is deeply and irrevocably racist. 
He has written that America was literally racist in all of its iterations from the very beginning, up to and including all of the constitutional protections of the Bill of Rights. So what exactly does this genius say about racism? He can’t really define the term. He just knows racism exists wherever there is a disparity. In his book, “How to Be an Antiracist,” he says, ”Racism is a powerful collection of racist policies that lead to racial inequity and are substantiated by racist ideas.”
Let me give you an example of how stupid that is. The vast majority of the NBA is black. That is a massive racial disparity. Only 13% of the American population is black. Does this mean there has been some sort of deep and abiding racism in the NBA to make all of that happen? Conversely, in hockey, virtually all the players are white. Does that mean there is deep and abiding racism that exists at the roots of hockey, and that is why there are not that many black hockey players at the NHL level? Of course not. That’s incredibly silly. If you see 99% of people in prison for violent crime are men, is that because of deeply sexist roots in society? 
The truth is, disparities exist across virtually every industry and every metric in society — and they have for all of time. They’re tied to everything from geography to environment. The idea that if two groups by race do not stack up identically in any particular area is because of systemic and abiding racism is absolute nonsense. But all Kendi has to show is any disparity, which makes his job really easy because I too can point to disparities in every arena of life.
<h4><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-1814-the-greatest-scam-in-modern-america-member-exclusive" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WATCH: The Ben Shapiro Show</a></h4>
In 2020, we decided as a society that you no longer had to prove racism was at the root of, for example, crime statistics. Instead, you could just simply claim that it was. And then everyone who said it wasn’t was deemed to be racist. That was a scam. The idea that American society rests in unidentifiable but ever-present racism is a lie. The notion that disparities in crime statistics are caused by racist policing is a lie. This is the magic of Kendi. He says colorblindness is racist. If you think race shouldn’t matter, that’s because you’re racist. According to Kendi, race does matter. And the way we know race matters is because of disparities. And those disparities are evidence of racism. And if you say that’s why race shouldn’t matter, that’s because you’re a racist, don’t you see?
So why am I discussing Ibram X. Kendi today? Because Boston University is now announcing an inquiry into his anti-racist center. It turns out the whole thing is a scam. 
You don’t say. 
A person who can’t define the word racism but is being paid not to define the word racism — you mean that was a scam? You mean just like any other cult? If the cult leader can’t define the terms, it can still be a cult.
This was the Emperor’s New Clothes garbage. Everyone knew this at the time. Anti-racism is a collection of anti-racist policies that target racist disparities backed by racist ideas. But everyone could tell this was gobbledygook nonsense. And now Boston University has announced an “inquiry” into Kendi’s Center for Antiracist Research. The predicate for this is that the center laid off some 20% of their entire staff and has been accused of misusing millions of dollars in funds. They have published hardly any research.
It’s hard to have a research-based approach when you do no research. A giant scam.
That is the message here: If you can’t articulate why someone should give you money to do something, all you can do is threaten them that you will call them a racist or a bigot if they do not do that something.
Boston University professor Phillipe Copeland, who is black and used to work for Kendi’s center, stated, &#8220;Boston University needs to explain how one of its premier Centers ended up in this situation and how mass layoffs are ’antiracist.’ This act of employment violence and trauma is not just about individual leaders. It’s about the cultures and systems that allow it to occur.”
“It’s about the culture and systems that allow it to occur.” I love it. Kendi preaches the grift, and then when he actually uses the grift to fire his own people, creating a disparity in outcome, this means he is now violating his own anti-racist precepts.
It’s a snake eating its own tail here.

Boston University announced Wednesday that it would conduct an &#8220;inquiry&#8221; into Dr. Ibram X. Kendi’s Center for <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/what-is-critical-race-theory-breaking-down-the-ideology-thats-hitting-schools-across-the-country">Antiracist</a> Research amid complaints about its culture.
The inquiry will be a broader version of a previous &#8220;examination,&#8221; looking at the center&#8217;s grant management practices, a spokesperson for Boston University <a href="https://www.bostonglobe.com/2023/09/20/metro/following-layoffs-boston-university-announces-inquiry-into-ibram-kendis-antiracist-center/#:~:text=By%20Mike%20Damiano%20and%20Hilary,%2C%202023%2C%209%3A13%20p.m.&amp;text=Boston%20University%20announced%20Wednesday%20it,center%27s%20culture%20and%20financial%20management." target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> The Boston Globe.
The inquiry also comes shortly after layoffs at the center. Kendi recently laid off about 20 employees, more than half the center&#8217;s staff, the university <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/ibram-x-kendis-center-antiracist-research-lays-off-staff-members-boston-university-confirms" target="_blank" rel="noopener">confirmed</a> last week.
Kendi, a prominent critical race theory scholar, has become an influential voice on &#8220;antiracism&#8221; over the last several years, especially after his book, &#8220;How to Be an Antiracist,&#8221; became a New York Times bestseller in 2020 in the wake of George Floyd&#8217;s death.
He has drawn criticism for promoting the theory that all racial disparities are due to racism. Kendi has also faced criticism for his book &#8220;Antiracist Baby,&#8221; a children&#8217;s picture book that introduces children to the concept of antiracism.
The Center for Antiracist Research was established in June 2020, just days after Floyd&#8217;s death, when Kendi was hired as a history professor at Boston University. Since then, the center has raised tens of millions of dollars from donors.
The center managed to accomplish certain projects, such as teaming up with The Boston Globe to <a href="https://www.bostonglobe.com/opinion/the-emancipator/?p1=Article_Inline_Text_Link" target="_blank" rel="noopener">launch</a> a digital publication called The Emancipator. However, many other projects have gone uncompleted, such as a Racial Data Tracker, which would be &#8220;the nation’s largest online database of racial inequity data in the United States.&#8221;
The center “was just being mismanaged on a really fundamental level,” Phillipe Copeland, a Boston University professor who worked at the center, told the Globe.
Copeland skewered the center in a Facebook post on Sunday, saying the layoffs amount to &#8220;employment violence and trauma.&#8221;
&#8220;Boston University needs to explain how one of its premier Centers ended up in this situation and how mass layoffs are ‘antiracist.’ This act of employment violence and trauma is not just about individual leaders. It&#8217;s about the cultures and systems that allow it to occur,&#8221; Copeland <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/boston-univ-professor-calls-layoffs-ibram-x-kendis-antiracism-center-employment-violence" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote</a> on Sunday.
“I don’t know where the money is,” <a href="https://www.bostonglobe.com/2023/09/20/metro/following-layoffs-boston-university-announces-inquiry-into-ibram-kendis-antiracist-center/#:~:text=By%20Mike%20Damiano%20and%20Hilary,%2C%202023%2C%209%3A13%20p.m.&amp;text=Boston%20University%20announced%20Wednesday%20it,center%27s%20culture%20and%20financial%20management." target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> Saida Grundy, another Boston University professor who worked at the center.

Kendi reportedly did not delegate authority, which slowed the center&#8217;s operations.
He was also on leave from the center during the last several months, and when he returned last week, he reportedly laid off about 20 staffers over Zoom, <a href="https://www.bostonglobe.com/2023/09/20/metro/following-layoffs-boston-university-announces-inquiry-into-ibram-kendis-antiracist-center/#:~:text=By%20Mike%20Damiano%20and%20Hilary,%2C%202023%2C%209%3A13%20p.m.&amp;text=Boston%20University%20announced%20Wednesday%20it,center%27s%20culture%20and%20financial%20management." target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to one of the professors at the center.
Kendi “takes strong exception to the allegations made in recent complaints and media reports,” the Boston University spokesperson said.
The center&#8217;s scholars have also produced very little research, and the two research papers they have put out have been co-authored with other academics, a Washington Free Beacon <a href="https://freebeacon.com/democrats/ibram-kendis-center-for-antiracist-research-hasnt-produced-any-research/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">analysis</a> found.
Global health professor Elaine Nsoesie, who <a href="https://www.bu.edu/sph/profile/elaine-nsoesie/#:~:text=Elaine%20Nsoesie%20is%20an%20Associate,University%20Center%20for%20Antiracist%20Research." target="_blank" rel="noopener">leads</a> the Racial Data Tracker project at the center, co-authored a January <a href="https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle/2800557?utm_source=For_The_Media&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=ftm_links&amp;utm_term=011823" target="_blank" rel="noopener">paper</a> that concluded that areas with more black residents had more &#8220;dilapidated buildings.&#8221;
Management and organizations professor Sanaz Mobasseri, another <a href="https://www.bu.edu/antiracism-center/profile/sanaz-mobasseri/#:~:text=Sanaz%20Mobasseri%20is%20an%20Assistant,amongst%20employees%20in%20the%20workplace." target="_blank" rel="noopener">scholar</a> at the center, co-authored a <a href="https://journals.aom.org/doi/abs/10.5465/amr.2021.0446" target="_blank" rel="noopener">paper</a> that stated, &#8220;We treat White men as the dominant group and Black people as the archetypal subordinate group in U.S. society.&#8221;
How long Boston University&#8217;s probe into the center will take is unclear.

Forecasters said on Wednesday they believe <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/hurricane" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hurricane</a> Lee will be heading toward New England over the next several days.
Heading into the weekend, the storm brings the risk of wind, coastal flooding, and rain impacts for parts of New England as well as Canada&#8217;s Atlantic Coast as Lee&#8217;s core passes west of Bermuda and moves north, <a href="https://twitter.com/NHC_Atlantic/status/1701974377351246317" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to the National Hurricane Center</a>. The National Weather Service forecast office in Boston/Norton, Massachusetts, additionally <a href="https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?site=BOX&amp;issuedby=BOX&amp;product=AFD&amp;format=CI&amp;version=1&amp;glossary=1&amp;highlight=off" target="_blank" rel="noopener">warned</a> of increasing surf and rip currents.
Atmospheric conditions are expected to prompt Hurricane Lee to &#8220;gradually increase in forward speed&#8221; and may cause it to &#8220;turn slightly to the left Friday night and Saturday, which will likely bring Lee close to southeastern New England before it reaches Maine and Atlantic Canada later in the weekend,&#8221; NHC <a href="https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/text/refresh/MIATCDAT3+shtml/131438.shtml?" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> in a discussion post.

&#8220;Confidence is increasing in the forecast track, and the model spread is mostly along-track, associated with the system&#8217;s forward speed/timing,&#8221; NHC added, emphasizing how the forecast has become more certain over time. &#8220;Overall, little change was made to the previous NHC track forecast, and it remains very near the various consensus models.&#8221;
Lee weakened from its <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/lee-becomes-powerful-category-5-hurricane" target="_blank" rel="noopener">peak Category 5 status</a> last week but has <a href="https://news.yahoo.com/hurricane-lee-slows-ahead-northward-083559662.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">grown in size</a> over the past few days, meaning its hurricane-force winds are stretching out farther away from its center. Forecasters with NHC said the storm would bring rough surf and rip currents to a wide area in the Caribbean —including the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico — and tropical storm conditions to Bermuda in the coming days.
&#8220;Due to Lee&#8217;s large size, hazards will extend well away from the center, and there will be little to no significance on exactly where the center reaches the coast,&#8221; NHC stressed.

The storm clocked in as a <a href="https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/aboutsshws.php" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Category 3 hurricane</a> with sustained maximum winds of 115 miles per hour as of midday on Wednesday, but forecasters believe it will continue to diminish as it gets closer to New England and Canada. Still, they warned, Lee will pose a danger to people in those areas.
&#8220;[Lee] is still a major hurricane &amp; poses a serious threat to New England &amp; the Canadian Maritimes.

FBI agents in Portland, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/oregon" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Oregon</a>, were surprised when a 68-year-old man walked into their office and reportedly confessed to bashing a Boston woman’s head in with a hammer back in 1979.
John Michael Irmer told FBI agents last month that he had killed a 24-year-old Pennsylvania woman who had moved to Boston, Massachusetts. Irmer has since been extradited to Boston and arraigned in Boston Municipal Court Central Division, the Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office said in <a href="https://www.suffolkdistrictattorney.com/press-releases/items/2023/9/11/oregon-man-to-be-arraigned-for-1979-back-bay-murder" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a press release</a> on Monday.
Irmer reportedly told authorities that he met a red-haired woman at a skating rink in Boston around Halloween nearly 44 years ago. He reportedly said that he and the woman walked to an apartment building that was under renovation, where he quickly grabbed a hammer and hit the woman on the head multiple times. She died instantly, and Irmer said he raped her afterward, according to prosecutors. The next day, Irmer said, he fled to New York, according to the press release.
Investigators were able to verify his story, discovering that a red-haired woman named Susan Marcia Rose was found murdered at the same apartment building on October 30, 1979. Rose’s cause of death was determined to be blunt force trauma to the head, which fractured her skull and lacerated her brain. A DNA sample collected at the scene and preserved for 44 years matched a sample taken from Irmer after he allegedly confessed.
Rose was originally from Johnstown, Pennsylvania, but had moved to Boston prior to her death. In June 1981, a different man was tried for her murder but found not guilty.
“Nearly 44 years after losing her at such a young age, the family and friends of Susan Marcia Rose will finally have some answers,” District Attorney Kevin Hayden said in a statement. “This was a brutal, ice-blooded murder made worse by the fact that a person was charged and tried — and fortunately, found not guilty — while the real murderer remained silent until now. No matter how cold cases get resolved, it’s always the answers that are important for those who have lived with grief and loss and so many agonizing questions.”

Irmer was arraigned for the crime on Monday and reportedly hid behind a wall for much of the time, CBS Boston <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/boston/news/john-michael-irmer-susan-marcia-rose-boston-murder-arrest/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>. He is being held without bail on charges of murder and aggravated rape.
Irmer allegedly told FBI agents that he wanted to confess to multiple murders, the Boston Globe <a href="https://www.bostonglobe.com/2023/09/11/metro/oregon-man-confesses-1979-murder-woman-boston-according-officials/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>. In court, Assistant District Attorney John Verner said that Irmer admitted to killing another woman in the south, but that case is still being investigated.

The senators listed: &#8220;RobinWare456@gmail.com,&#8221; &#8220;Robert.L.Peters@pci.gov,&#8221; &#8220;JRB Ware,&#8221; and &#8220;67stingray.&#8221;
NARA <a href="https://www.grassley.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/2023-03-07_nara_to_grassley_johnson_biden_records.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">notified</a> the senators in March that its staff had fetched the nine boxes from the Boston office at the request of the Justice Department in November as part of an investigation into Biden&#8217;s handling of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/more-than-1100-pages-of-biden-docs-found-at-think-tank" target="_blank" rel="noopener">classified documents</a> currently led by special counsel Robert Hur. Grassley and Johnson had asked in prior correspondence whether NARA knew if the same email addresses appeared in any of the materials from Boston, but the agency <a href="https://www.grassley.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/2023-03-07_nara_to_grassley_johnson_biden_records.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">insisted</a> that its staff had not reviewed the contents at the time.
Biden&#8217;s suspected use of fake names has started to gain more attention in recent days as a group called the Southeastern Legal Foundation <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/law-group-sues-national-archives-demanding-federal-agency-turn-over-5400-biden-pseudonym-emails" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sued</a> NARA to turn over approximately 5,400 records connected to Biden’s pseudonym accounts.
House Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-KY) <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/comer-seeks-records-of-biden-allegedly-using-pseudonym-as-vice-president" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sent a letter to NARA</a> earlier this month requesting all unredacted records and communications regarding Biden’s official duties as vice president that overlapped with his son Hunter’s activities in Ukraine — specifically mentioning a document allegedly sent to &#8220;&#8216;Robert L. Peters&#8217; — a pseudonym the Committee has identified as then Vice President Biden.&#8221;
For years, Biden claimed to have never spoken to Hunter about his business dealings, but as GOP investigators have uncovered a pattern of millions of dollars flowing to members of the First Family from foreign nationals under suspicious circumstances, the White House has <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-snarls-at-lousy-question-about-calls-with-sons-business-partners" target="_blank" rel="noopener">taken to saying</a> the elder Biden never did business with his son. Now House Republicans appear to be on the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/comer-says-biden-impeachment-inquiry-imminent-as-republicans-call-for-action" target="_blank" rel="noopener">cusp of starting an impeachment inquiry</a>.
<a href="https://onelink.to/dwapp">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILY WIRE APP</a>
In their latest letter, Grassley and Johnson pressed Archivist of the United States Colleen Shogan to declare whether NARA is certain that the roughly 5,400 records that the <a href="https://www.slfliberty.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2023/08/20230828-Complaint-Exhibit-4-Doc.-1-4.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">agency told</a> the Southeastern Legal Foundation was potentially responsive to the group&#8217;s Freedom of Information Act request make up the &#8220;complete subset of records that contain Biden’s pseudonyms and personal email addresses used for official government business&#8221; if NARA staff have still not reviewed the boxes from Boston. &#8220;Please explain,&#8221; they added.
Other demands made by the senators include a request for details on NARA&#8217;s efforts to respond to the Southeastern Legal Foundation, including the review of the “approximately 5,138 email messages, 25 electronic files and 200 pages of potentially responsive records.&#8221;
The senators asked NARA to provide the requested information by September 12.
A NARA spokesperson told The Daily Wire that the agency received the letter from Grassley and Johnson but did not comment any further on the matter.

What is with the New England Democrat crime wave as of late? Over the past year, a string of Democratic officials and leftists from Rhode Island all the way up to Maine have been arrested for, accused of, or convicted of some pretty bizarre allegations. Here are seven examples:
Boston City Councilor Allegedly Crashes Car Without License, Insurance, Registration
On Friday, Boston City Councilor Kendra Lara (D) allegedly crashed her car into a home in the Jamaica Plain neighborhood of Boston. The only problem for Lara is that she was reportedly driving the vehicle with a revoked license, and the car was unregistered and uninsured. To make matters worse, Lara&#8217;s autistic child was reportedly in the car. 
Per Massachusetts-based outlet <a href="https://tbdailynews.com/boston-city-councilor-kendra-lara-crashes-into-house-with-unrestrained-son-while-driving-unlicensed-in-unregistered-car-belonging-to-man-she-made-sex-tape-with/">Turtle Boy Daily News&#8217;</a> Aidan Kearney, Lara, née Hicks, ran for office in 2021 on an anti-cop, pro-socialism platform. She will appear in court later this month, <a href="https://www.wbur.org/news/2023/07/03/boston-city-councilor-kendra-lara-car-driving-history">according</a> to WBUR.
Rhode Island State Senator Allegedly Lies About Keying Car With &#8220;Biden Sucks&#8221; Sticker
Speaking of car crimes, who could forget about <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/rhode-island-state-senator-faces-additional-charges-over-vandalism-incident-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rhode Island state Senator Joshua Miller</a>? A couple of weeks ago, Miller was arrested for allegedly keying a man&#8217;s car displaying a &#8220;Biden Sucks&#8221; bumper sticker.
When Miller was first questioned by police, he claimed that the alleged victim was possibly a &#8220;gun nut&#8221; who knew that Miller was a state senator and that the victim made up the whole incident. So in other words, Miller pulled a reverse, &#8220;Do you know who I am?&#8221; but a video review would appear to show he was lying.
See the saga below in a must-watch video for some great Boston accents:

Miller is now facing charges of vandalism and a potential charge of obstruction of justice. The official was first elected in 2006 and is set to be arraigned in court on July 18.
Boston’s Reparations Task Force Coordinator&#8217;s Wild Night At City Hall
Then there was the arrest of Boston’s Reparations Task Force project coordinator George Williams in May. The 35-year-old ex-college professor was appointed by Boston&#8217;s uber-leftist Mayor Michelle Wu to help advise the Reparations Task Force. Police say that Williams used his position to trespass in city hall, harangue custodians, burn sage, physically assault cops, and possibly do some drugs.

Nation’s First Elected Transgender State Rep. Arrested On Child Porn Charges: Police
In Nashua, New Hampshire, an alleged pervert and the nation&#8217;s first elected &#8220;transgender-identifying&#8221; man was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/nations-first-elected-transgender-state-rep-arrested-on-child-porn-charges-police">arrested</a> on child porn charges in June. 
Stacie Laughton might be the crème de la crème in terms of abject weirdos in Democrat politics in the Granite State — if not all of New England. Laughton was first elected in 2012, only to resign shortly after numerous credit card fraud allegations came to light.
He was later sentenced to six months in jail after reporting a bomb threat to a hospital in 2015. In July 2021, he was arrested for giving police false information.
Unbelievably, Laughton won election to the state house again in November 2022. Then Laughton had to step down in December after accusations of stalking. Laughton had been arrested on stalking charges twice in 2022, including an incident in September just months before the election. 
Now, the guy is being arrested on allegations of distribution of sexually explicit images of children. 
Ex-Democrat Maine Gubernatorial Candidate Guilty Of Child Porn Charges
Laughton isn&#8217;t the only Democrat in New England arrested on child porn charges. 
In May, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/democrat-donor-former-gubernatorial-candidate-pleads-guilty-to-child-pornography-charges" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Eliot Cutler</a>, a Democratic donor who twice ran for governor of Maine, pleaded guilty to charges of possessing child pornography. Authorities discovered thousands of images of children under the age of 12 being sexually abused in his possession. He will now serve nine months in jail for four counts of possessing sexually explicit material of a child under 12.
Senate-Confirmed U.S. Attorney Resigns After DOJ Report
So far, we&#8217;ve discussed state and local Democrats in New England. But Massachusetts U.S. Attorney Rachael Rollins has had her run-ins with the law as well — albeit no charges thus far. 
In May, the George Soros-backed attorney <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/soros-backed-u-s-attorney-resigning-after-doj-ig-accuses-her-of-election-interference-lying-to-feds-reports" target="_blank" rel="noopener">resigned</a> after a Department of Justice Inspectors General report claimed that she effectively ran election interference, violated the Hatch Act, and committed other unethical moves while on the job.
The DOJ alleged that she &#8220;violated federal regulations, numerous DOJ policies, her Ethics Agreement, and applicable law, and fell far short of the standards of professionalism and judgment that the Department should expect of any employee, much less a U.S. Attorney.&#8221;
The supposedly apolitical DOJ under President Joe Biden declined to charge his Senate-confirmed U.S. attorney.
Racial Justice Warrior Scams The System—Allegedly
Rollins was close pals with another apparent New England ne&#8217;er-do-well: Monica Cannon-Grant, a prominent leftist activist in the Boston area, and her husband, Clark Grant. The two were federally charged and arrested on 18 counts of fraud and conspiracy in relation to her non-profit, Violence in Boston (VIB), in March 2022. Cannon-Grant was named the 2020 &#8220;<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/progressive-activist-a-2020-bostonian-of-the-year-arrested-on-federal-charges-of-fraud-conspiracy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bostonian of the Year</a>&#8221; by the Boston Globe for her activism after the death of George Floyd and for her involvement with local protests associated with the Black Lives Matter movement.
In March 2023, authorities <a href="https://www.wbur.org/news/2023/03/10/activist-monica-cannon-grant-nonprofit-fraud-allegations" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tacked</a> on some more charges after she allegedly misused city funds while lying about her income to get more government cash intended for impoverished people. 
Grant and her husband pleaded not guilty to the original 18 charges. Sadly on March 30, Clark Grant died in a motorcycle accident.
Is The Late Ted Kennedy To Blame For It All?
Of course, perhaps there is one man to blame for this apparent crime wave: ex-U.S. Senator Ted Kennedy (D-MA).
Kennedy really set the gold standard for allegedly breaking several laws and endangering others while getting away with it. Just ask Mary Jo Kopechne. (See: <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/craven-teddy-kennedy-wanted-to-say-mary-jo-kopechne-was-driving-at-chappaquiddick-book-says" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chappaquiddick</a>).
Every liberal in New England grows up yearning to be the next Kennedy. 
It turns out that committing alleged crimes is a package deal alongside Kennedy&#8217;s words that &#8220;the work goes on, the cause endures, the hope still lives, and the dream shall never die.&#8221;

A cyber attorney charged with multiple counts of rape and kidnapping for a string of assaults that took place 16 years ago now faces additional charges.
Matthew Nilo, 35, was indicted on additional charges of rape, aggravated rape, three counts of assault with intent to rape, and two counts of indecent assault and battery, CNN <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2023/06/28/us/boston-sexual-assault-cold-case-dna-suspect/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>. These new charges are added to his initial charges, which included three counts of aggravated rape, two counts of kidnapping, one count of assault with intent to rape, and one count of indecent assault and battery, the New York Post <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/05/31/lawyer-matthew-nilo-arrested-for-boston-rape-spree/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>.
“The incidents followed a similar pattern. The victims were attacked while they were walking alone, in the dark, either at night or early in the morning,” the Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office said in a press release. “The newly-indicted attacks occurred at the time that Nilo was living in the North End and during the same period as the attacks against women in Charlestown for which Nilo is already charged.”
Nilo would have been about 19 or 20 when the rapes were committed. A DNA sample connected him to the attacks on four women between August 2007 and December 2008 that occurred in the Terminal Street area, <a href="https://www.bostonglobe.com/2023/05/30/metro/suspected-serial-rapist-arrested-years-after-charlestown-attacks/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to the Boston Globe</a>. He was arrested earlier this month at his home in Weehawken, New Jersey.
One of the alleged victims, identifying herself only as Lori, was angry earlier this month when Nilo was released on $500,000 bail. The woman <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12186081/Furious-alleged-rape-victim-NJ-attorney-Matthew-Nilo-says-hes-flight-risk.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> the Daily Mail that it was “bulls***” for Nilo to be freed. She was seen shaking with anger.
“He literally hid from cops for 16 years. How is he not a flight risk?” she told the outlet.
<a class="c-link c-link--focus-visible" href="https://onelink.to/dwapp" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-stringify-link="https://onelink.to/dwapp" data-sk="tooltip_parent" aria-describedby="sk-tooltip-4622">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILY WIRE APP</a>
Nilo is accused of raping Lori at gunpoint 16 years ago, leaving her with post-traumatic stress disorder and forcing her to go on disability, she told the Mail. Lori is one of four original alleged victims who were between the ages of 23 and 44 when the crimes occurred.
“The cops came to my house and said they had identified him and they said that he was identified by DNA — and I was just relieved,” she told the Mail. “I was in disbelief and awe because I didn’t think he was going to get caught. I’ve been waiting for years for him to get arrested.”
Law enforcement says they matched Nilo’s DNA to family members who had sent DNA samples to a genealogy database, such as “23 and Me.”
“Investigators never stopped analyzing evidence, collecting information and running down leads in order to bring dangerous offenders to justice,” Suffolk County, Massachusetts District Attorney Kevin Hayden said after Nilo was arrested, <a href="https://abc7ny.com/matthew-nilo-attorney-arrested-rape-boston/13327322/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to WABC</a>.
Nilo previously lived in Boston’s North End and was identified as a suspect last month using investigative genetic genealogy. In addition to the genealogy work, the Sexual Assault Kit Initiative was also used to identify Nilo. The SAKI is a federal grant program that helps states process sexual assault collection kits.

Man Accused Of Serial Rapes In Boston Faces New Charges

Rape

A couple celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary was found stabbed and bludgeoned to death along with another elderly family member on Sunday.
The shocking triple homicide happened in the Boston area, about seven miles west of the city of Newton, Massachusetts.
The bodies of the couple in their 70s — and the wife&#8217;s mother, who was in her 90s and lived with them — were discovered dead in their home Sunday morning when a friend went to their home to check on them after the couple did not arrive at church.
Police believe the murders are a &#8220;random&#8221; act of violence. The preliminary investigation found signs of forced entry.
Police warned residents to lock their doors and remain watchful as investigators track down the killer or killers, who are still at large.
&#8220;This is the night to lock your doors and windows,&#8221; Middlesex District Attorney Marian Ryan <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/US/elderly-couple-slain-boston-suburb-50th-wedding-anniversary/story?id=100377876" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> at a news conference Sunday night. &#8220;We are asking people if they hear or see something suspicious, please call the Newton police immediately.&#8221;
“As we mourn the victims of this senseless, and violent tragedy we ask all members of our community to remain alert and vigilant,” the Newton Police Department wrote in a tweet Monday.
“Two of the individuals were celebrating a golden wedding anniversary this weekend. As you can imagine, this would be tragic on any day. To have family gathered for this kind of a celebration makes it particularly tragic,” Ryan <a href="https://apnews.com/article/50th-anniversary-couple-stabbed-0f9b9486e3ffe9be1ce644851dac7334" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>.
An attempted break-in occurred about half a mile from the victims&#8217; home early on Sunday morning, but it is not clear if the two crimes are connected, Ryan said.
&#8220;That&#8217;s why we are concerned particularly about the safety issue,&#8221; Ryan said.
&#8220;As far as the Newton Police Department, we won&#8217;t rest until we find out who did this and we find justice for the victims that were involved here,&#8221; Carmichael <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/US/elderly-couple-slain-boston-suburb-50th-wedding-anniversary/story?id=100377876" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>.
Newton Police Chief John Carmichael spoke at the news conference as well.
Fr. Dan Riley of Our Lady Help of Christians, a Newton Catholic parish, said the couple was planning to celebrate their 50th anniversary in a blessing after holy communion at the 10 a.m. Mass.
The priest <a href="https://apnews.com/article/50th-anniversary-couple-stabbed-0f9b9486e3ffe9be1ce644851dac7334" target="_blank" rel="noopener">described</a> the three victims as “three beloved parishioners — salt of the earth people, just great, great people.”
Neighbors of the three were left in shock by the slayings.
“Just shock. I mean, this is a safe neighborhood. You don&#8217;t have murders in Newton or Nonantum,” neighbor Jack Porter <a href="https://www.wcvb.com/article/3-people-stabbed-beaten-to-death-broadway-newton-massachusetts-june-26/44340217#" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> local outlet WCBV.
Newton, which has fewer than 88,000 people, is generally considered an extremely safe city. The city was ranked the second safest city for families in the country by a SafeWise <a href="https://www.safewise.com/blog/safest-cities-to-raise-a-child/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">report</a> last year.
Boston has seen its murder rate rise this year. Murders have jumped from 18 murders so far this year compared to 13 murders by this time last year, <a href="https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5086f19ce4b0ad16ff15598d/t/6499f437a0f4d92e0a9529fa/1687811127388/Pages+from+Weekly+Crime+Overview++6-25-23.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to data from the Boston police department.
Robberies have also spiked from 334 by this time last year to 365 robberies so far this year. Larceny has jumped from 2,925 last year to 3,231 this year.
Domestic assaults, auto thefts, and non-domestic assaults have all gone down.

Four children who were found in a home littered with booze, drugs, sex toys, and the corpse of a trans woman, were hidden away in a cramped back room crying for help, a Boston city councilor said.
City Councilor Erin Murphy <a href="https://www.boston25news.com/news/local/heard-cry-help-city-councilor-calls-answers-after-kids-found-unsanitary-apartment/A5UJ2GJDERAYHEMOLLP5MGRO44/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> Boston 25 that first responders, who called to the home about a person in cardiac arrest, heard the children “crying for help.” First responders called about a person in cardiac arrest found a trans woman &#8211; a man in women&#8217;s clothes &#8211; who they were unable to revive.
“A lot of drug paraphernalia and sex toys all around and then one of the firefighters said that they heard a cry for help,” Murphy told the outlet. “That there were four children in the back room, and I am hearing that the adults in the apartment were not wanting first responders to go back when they heard kids crying for help, so that is very disturbing to me.”
A Boston Fire Department crew of first responders was dispatched to an apartment in a public housing complex Saturday morning for a call about a man who had gone into cardiac arrest, the Boston Herald <a href="https://www.bostonherald.com/2023/06/19/four-kids-found-hidden-in-filthy-south-boston-apartment-where-a-man-died/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>. An incident report obtained by the Herald showed that the first responders discovered more than a man in a medical crisis.
“The apartment was in extremely unsanitary conditions. Approximately 6 adults, who appeared to be males, were seen in the apartment,” first responders wrote in their report, adding that they found “four children in the back bedroom being hidden by an adult male from first responders.”
The children found in the home ranged in age from 5 to 10, according to the Herald.
“All of the adult parties were being uncooperative and did not provide helpful information. All adults present denied having children inside the apartment,” first responders wrote.

The crew filed a report of children alleged to be suffering from abuse or neglect, the outlet reported.
Councilor Murphy is now asking for the Boston Housing Authority to answer questions regarding how the situation could have occurred in public housing.
Boston’s Department of Children and Families told Boston 25 that the agency “has taken custody of the children who live in the home.”
Neighbors told the outlet that they know something happened in that apartment over the weekend, but refused to talk about it. The Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office said that it is “aware of the incident and the investigation and will appropriately prosecute any arrests that result. At this moment, no charges have been issued.”
“At the end of the day, my biggest concern is what were the children exposed to and were they hurt in any way,” Murphy told Boston 25.
The person in cardiac arrest – for whom first responders were called – reportedly was a black man who identified as a woman, the Daily Mail <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12223171/First-responders-horrified-children-trans-drag-party-dead-body-drugs-sex-toys.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>.
First responders performed CPR on the man in cardiac arrest but were unsuccessful. The Boston Police Department is investigating the death.
“This is sickening,” At-Large City Councilor Michael Flaherty told the Herald. “I was informed by people at the scene that there were drugs, alcohol, sex toys all around the apartment as well as a dead body on the floor.”
Flaherty, who serves as Public Safety Chairman on the city council, told the outlet that the man died of “an apparent overdose” and that a “man wearing a wig” claimed to be the father of the children found in the home.

Men Dressed As Women Denied Kids Were In Home Filled With ‘Alcohol, Drugs, Sex Toys,’ And Dead Body, Police Say

A woman who was one of the alleged victims of accused rapist Matthew Nilo was visibly angry outside a Boston courtroom on Monday after the accused was set to be freed on $500,000 bail.
The woman, who is going by the name Lori, <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12186081/Furious-alleged-rape-victim-NJ-attorney-Matthew-Nilo-says-hes-flight-risk.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> the Daily Mail that it was “bulls***” for Nilo to be freed. She was seen shaking with anger.
“He literally hid from cops for 16 years. How is he not a flight risk?” she told the outlet.
Nilo has been charged with three counts of aggravated rape, two counts of kidnapping, one count of assault with intent to rape, and one count of indecent assault and battery, the New York Post <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/05/31/lawyer-matthew-nilo-arrested-for-boston-rape-spree/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>. His crimes allegedly took place in Boston between 2007 and 2008.
He is accused of raping Lori at gunpoint 16 years ago, leaving her with post-traumatic stress disorder and forcing her to go on disability, she told the Mail. Lori is one of four alleged victims, who were between the ages of 23 and 44 when the crimes occurred.
“The cops came to my house and said they had identified him and they said that he was identified by DNA — and I was just relieved,” she told the Mail. “I was in disbelief and awe because I didn’t think he was going to get caught. I’ve been waiting for years for him to get arrested.”
Nilo did not attend the bail hearing.
Nilo, 35, would have been about 19 or 20 when the rapes were committed. A DNA sample connected him to the attacks on four women between August 2007 and December 2008 that occurred in the Terminal Street area, <a href="https://www.bostonglobe.com/2023/05/30/metro/suspected-serial-rapist-arrested-years-after-charlestown-attacks/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to the Boston Globe</a>. He was arrested earlier this month at his home in Weehawken, New Jersey.

“While we know today’s arrest of Mr. Nilo cannot erase the harm he allegedly inflicted upon his survivors, we believe we have removed a dangerous threat from our community,” FBI Boston’s Special Agent in Charge Joseph Bonavolonta said, <a href="https://abc7ny.com/matthew-nilo-attorney-arrested-rape-boston/13327322/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to WABC</a>.
“This is without a doubt a major break in this investigation that has haunted the survivors of these sexual assaults, the residents of Charlestown, and the Boston Police Department for years,” Bonavolonta also said, according to the Post. “We believe we have removed a dangerous threat from our community.”
Law enforcement say they were able to match Nilo’s DNA to family members who had sent DNA samples to a genealogy database, such as “23 and Me.”
“Investigators never stopped analyzing evidence, collecting information and running down leads in order to bring dangerous offenders to justice,” Suffolk County, Massachusetts District Attorney Kevin Hayden said, according to the outlet.
Nilo previously lived in Boston’s North End and was identified as a suspect last month using investigative genetic genealogy. In addition to the genealogy work, the Sexual Assault Kit Initiative was also used to identify Nilo. The SAKI is a federal grant program that helps states process sexual assault collection kits.
Nilo works for Manhattan cyber firm Cowbell Cyber, which told WABC that he was only hired in January of this year and has been suspended pending investigation.
“He’s a very evil person and he used weapons and force to violently kidnap and rape multiple women,” Lori said of Nilo. “I can’t get into the details of my case, but I was his first victim, and the charges that are brought against him for me are aggravated rape and kidnapping.”
