The Morning Report — 8/ 18 /26

Good morning kids. If you can't see where this is heading, you're blind. Or a co-conspirator!

what happens and the life or death consequences when they take officers who are untrained and given a directive that is very far from protecting the public,” Wu said.

Boston has “already done everything possible” to stop ICE from accessing public property, the mayor said, adding that the city “will be doing whatever we can to communicate with private property owners.”

The Department of Homeland Security responded to Wu’s plan Monday, saying the “pro-criminal mayor” is “trying to intimidate Bostonians,” knowing “she has ZERO authority to block ICE from utilizing private property.”

The immediate evil of sic-ing the government on the citizenry is obvious, the tax assessors will be out in force or else some sort of zoning or other concocted civil penalties will be used against innocent people to prevent legitimate law enforcement from doing the exact opposite of what Michelle Wu and her ilk have blood libeled them. That is, the apprehension and removal of illegal alien invaders, some of them probably violent criminals. Naturally, Massachusetts is a solidly blue state and so the courts and state government will be squarely behind Michelle Wu, should citizens seek redress at that level, and likely not get it,

The horrible and bitter irony is that Massachusetts was one of the cradles of the American revolution. And 250 years on look what the hell it's devolved into.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested Maycon Souto Dos Reis, a Brazilian national convicted of aggravated murder, in Massachusetts on August 3. Dos Reis had fled Brazil after being sentenced to over 14 years in prison and entered the U.S. illegally in June 2024, where he was initially apprehended but released under Biden government policies. . The arrest occurred in Massachusetts on August 3, 2024, just two days before Governor Maura Healey signed the PROTECT Act, which imposes new restrictions on ICE operations in the Bay State. . . “This is yet another example of what the media often characterizes as a non-criminal, when in reality, many of these individuals are murderers, sexual predators, gang members, and more: They simply do not have a criminal record in the United States.” – David Wesling, Acting ICE ERO Boston Field Office Director

Maura Healy, who just signed this abomination into law!

The bill allows unborn babies to be aborted throughout pregnancy and strikes down the state’s 24-week limit, which had exceptions for the life of the mother and a deadly fetal diagnosis. Under the bill, doctors have the discretion to decide whether or not to perform a late-term abortion. . . Several Massachusetts... Democrats Break with Party over ‘Barbaric’ New Law Legalizing Abortions Up Until Birth.

But of course a corrupt government is one thing, but I'd lay better than even odds that the names and addresses of anyone who wants to lease space to ICE or the he DHS will somehow wind up in the hands of Antifa, La Raza and any and all other Leftist/Democrat approved and or aligned official-unofficial terror squads. Bad enough a criminal government will tax you out of existence but failing that, a molotov cocktail or two through your window is a hell of a lot more persuasive, nein?!

• The strong manufacturing data suggests continued economic resilience, despite concerns over inflation and the ongoing Iran war. This data also suggests that economists underestimated the U.S. manufacturing sector. The fact that the rise in manufacturing activity has been driven by order growth suggests there is an increase in demand for U.S.-made goods. This is likely a by-product of the Trump administration’s tariffs as well as reforms to the tax code.
