Construction workers at a Boston pier found what appeared to be a human skull encased in concrete last week — prompting a flurry of speculation that the victim of a mob hit from the likes of Whitey Bulger had been uncovered. The discovery was made Thursday by workers sawing into a concrete portion of the pier, with photos showing the distinct shape of a human skull protruding from the inside a chunk of broken material.

Workers at a South Boston pier found what appears to be a human skull buried in concrete, NBC10 Boston reported. The workers were repairing concrete along the Black Falcon Terminal, a maritime facility managed by Massachusetts Port Authority, when they made the discovery, according to NBC10 Boston. Authorities confirmed the skull is being examined by forensic anthropologist, NBC10 Boston reported.

VIDEOSorry Seth Moulton! But just because President Donald Trump was merely MENTIONED in Epstein Files does NOT mean you are absolved of your more than obvious DEFAMATION of him when you publicly claimed on Morning Joe that he had improper relations with underage females. And you only made it WORSE when you repeated the DEFAMATION to Politico Hack Dasha Burns a week later while PRETENDING that just Trump's name appearing in the Epstein Files somehow absolves you. Hopefully a lawsuit award will not only include a hefty financial penalty against you but will also require an abject public APOLOGY.

BOSTON (AP) — It wasn’t a croc — there really was an alligator on the loose in Boston. And the story of the city’s slithering saurian appears to have a happy ending. The small alligator, spotted along the Charles River in Boston multiple times this week, has been rescued and delivered to safety, wildlife officials in Massachusetts said Thursday.

The deputy director of Governor Maura Healey’s western Massachusetts office, LaMar Cook, was arrested and terminated from his position after several kilograms of suspected cocaine were seized. The Hampden District Attorney’s Office told 22News that an ongoing investigation is being conducted after multiple parcels were seized that contained a combined total of approximately 21 kilograms of suspected cocaine. 22News obtained the court documents that state two packages sent from an address in Atlanta, Georgia, were intercepted by Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) in Louisville, Kentucky, on October 8. The packages contained approximately 12 kilograms of cocaine (several imprinted with the word...

In the concrete canyons of America’s cities, there’s an ancient tactic as old as warfare itself: the ambush. Draw your enemy into unfamiliar terrain, seal off their escape routes, and strike when they’re most vulnerable. It’s a strategy perfected by guerrilla fighters from the jungles of Vietnam to the mountains of Afghanistan. But last Tuesday night, this battlefield technique wasn’t deployed in some distant war zone—it was used against American police officers on the streets of Boston. The date was no coincidence. October 7th marked two years since Hamas terrorists slaughtered 1,200 Israeli civilians, and pro-Palestinian demonstrators had gathered on...

Take a close look at this photograph — it captures the exact moment when alleged hippie rioter Haley Macintyre finally learns, at age 24, that even a pampered Beautiful Person with a fashionable neck tattoo can still suffer adverse consequences for a violent, unprovoked assault on working people. Even in Massachusetts. As the picture was taken, in Boston Municipal Court, the judge had just slapped a $7,500 bail on Little Miss Muffet for her sinister role in fomenting that far-left riot that left four Boston cops hospitalized. Seventy-five hundred bucks? Do you know how many cool neck tattoos Haley could...

The Ig Nobel Prize honors research that first makes people laugh, then makes them think. Its 35th award ceremony possibly also makes people hungry: ISTA physicist Fabrizio Olmeda and colleagues researched the secret of a perfect cacio e pepe pasta sauce. They received the popular award for their findings on Thursday evening in Boston, U.S. .....

Thousands gathered on the Boston Common, with dozens of dissenters interrupting, to hold a candlelight vigil for far-right activist Charlie Kirk. ----------------- “Things were already getting a little dicey by the antifa counter-protest, and we hadn’t had any violence yet so it was going good, and I got that call,” Foley said. “They were worried that people were going to probably attack on the way home.” Another protester had ditched a backpack, which ended up being empty, and ran away to create a panic, Foley said.

BOSTON — Monica Cannon-Grant, the founder of the nonprofit Violence in Boston, plans to plead guilty to federal charges of defrauding people who donated to her organization. In a one-page document filed in federal court in Boston on Friday, Canon-Grant requested a change of plea hearing. Cannon-Grant faces a 27-count indictment on charges including wire fraud, mail fraud, making false statements, and filing false tax returns, among other offenses. Federal investigators have alleged that Cannon-Grant, and her husband, Clark Grant, “solicited and received over $1 million in donations and grants from individuals, charitable institutions and other entities.” The indictment alleged...

New York Yankees captain Aaron Judge has hit three home runs in the two games since shaking hands with President Donald Trump. And Judge's latest homer was a historic one. Judge passed franchise icon Joe DiMaggio to leap into fourth place on the Yankees' all-time home run leaderboard on Friday night with a first-inning blast against the Boston Red Sox. It was the 362nd homer of Judge's career, surpassing DiMaggio, who had 361. Judge reached 362 homers in his 1,130th game. DiMaggio played 1,736 games and hit his last homer on Sept. 28, 1951, at the end of a 13-year...

White House Border Czar Tom Homan joined Mika Brzezinski on MSNBC today to discuss ICE actions in Boston, Massachusetts. Boston Mayor Michelle Wu and Governor Maura Healey have both vowed to fight the Trump administration over deportations, with Mayor Wu calling them "oppression" while Maura Healey attacked the National Guard, saying they "do nothing" for public safety. Mika tried to defend Healey and Wu over their sanctuary state/city policies, and Homan was having none of it. Homan also brought the receipts, telling the audience exactly who ICE rounded up in Boston. That includes a 33-year-old illegal immigrant from Guatemala, arrested...

Lefty Rep. Ayanna Pressley – who once camped out on the Capitol steps for taxpayer-funded rent relief — reaped a windfall as a Boston landlord last year, The Post has learned. Pressley (D-Mass) and her ex-con hubby, management consultant Conan Harris raked in up to a staggering $350,000 in profit last year from a property sale and rental income that includes a decidedly capitalist pad on Martha’s Vineyard, Pressley’s 2024 annual financial disclosure reveals. Financial disclosures show Pressley — who disclosed as much as $8 million in assets, the first time she’s declared over $1 million — now joins Squad...

The Trump administration is preparing an immigration enforcement blitz in Boston in the coming weeks, according to a current administration official and a former administration official. The latest plans, which could still change, would involve a surge of Immigration and Customs Enforcement personnel and represent the latest Democratic-run city to be targeted by President Donald Trump. The Trump administration has frequently clashed with Boston Mayor Michelle Wu, and criticized the city’s so-called sanctuary policy — which limits local law enforcement’s cooperation with federal agents looking to arrest and remove undocumented immigrants.

BOSTON — Mass Daily News has obtained explosive leaked photos that blow open the scandal surrounding Boston Fire Lieutenant Joshua Thompson. The images show what appears to be a secret basement gun cave beneath his Milton home, including a firing lane with concrete walls and mounted targets, as well as the arsenal investigators seized: rifles, handguns, boxes of ammunition, and tactical gear spread across evidence tables. A hero’s stunning fall Thompson was once hailed as a hero — a decorated Army and Navy veteran and a Boston firefighter praised for bravery at a deadly North End fire. But today, prosecutors...

It appears that many of Boston's officers are quietly rebelling against the anti-ICE stance taken by Boston Mayor Michelle Wu's (D) administration. According to acting ICE Director Todd Lyons, Boston cops are secretly providing critical information to federal immigration officials to help arrest criminal illegal aliens—a bold move that flies in the face of the sanctuary city policies pushed by Wu and other extremist Democrat mayors across the country. For years, Boston, under Wu’s leadership, has been one of the loudest advocates of the sanctuary city movement. Her administration has consistently refused to cooperate with federal immigration authorities, shielding illegal...

Far-left Democratic Mayor Michelle Wu of Boston said yesterday that her city would not cooperate with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in deporting illegals, and that the Blue City would remain a sanctuary for illegals. Wu falsely claimed at a news conference that the Trump administration is “attacking our cities.” In response to U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi’s warning that sanctuary cities must drop their policies or face federal legal action, Wu said the city would do no such thing. Wu now risks prosecution under several federal statutes, including those dealing with harboring illegals and interfering with the enforcement of...
