[Breitbart] The shooting death of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson has prompted several major health insurance companies to take down the webpages listing their executive leadership teams. The most comes as users on leftist echo chamber Bluesky, including journalist Taylor Lorenz, are not only cheering the assassination, but posting the names and pictures of other prominent health insurance executives in a form of target list.
404 Media reports that multiple leading health insurance providers in the United States have removed or restricted access to the pages on their websites that list their top executives. This action comes on the heels of the murder of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson, who was fatally shot outside a Manhattan hotel on Wednesday morning.
Among the companies that have taken their leadership pages offline are United Healthcare, Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, Caresource, Medica, and Elevance Health. United Healthcare’s “about us” page, which had prominently featured Thompson and the rest of the executive team, now redirects visitors to the company’s homepage. Similarly, Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield’s leadership page, which had displayed the names and photos of 25 executives including President and CEO Kim Keck, now diverts to a generic “about us” section.
Nonprofit health insurance organizations have followed suit, with Caresource removing the individual profile pages for its entire executive leadership, including President and CEO Erhardt Preitauer and several Executive Vice Presidents. Medica has also taken down its executive and foundation leadership staff pages, which now return error messages indicating the pages no longer exist.
Elevance Health, another major player in the industry, replaced its leadership page with an apology message stating, “Sorry, that page is no longer here.” Prior to Thompson’s murder, the page had been archived as recently as last week.
The 57-year-old Thompson was shot by an unknown assailant shortly before he was scheduled to speak at a conference for United Healthcare investors. Surveillance footage shows the suspect using a silencer-equipped weapon and fleeing the scene on foot. Investigators have revealed that the bullets used in the attack were engraved with the phrases “deny,” “defend,” and “depose,” which are believed to reference the “three D’s of insurance,” a term used to describe common strategies employed by insurers to limit payouts.
The motive behind the shocking assassination remains unclear, but it has sent shockwaves through the health insurance industry. Just a day before the shooting, Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield had announced controversial plans to begin charging patients for anesthesia during procedures that exceeded estimated durations, a policy the company has since walked back in light of the tragedy.
While some major insurers, such as Kaiser Permanente, Humana, and Aetna, have kept their leadership pages accessible, the widespread removal of this information by others underscores the growing sense of unease and vulnerability among top executives in the wake of Thompson’s murder.
Breitbart News recently reported that former Washington Post reporter and current Vox Media podcaster Taylor Lorenz was openly celebrating the death of Thompson on social media. Breitbart News reporter John Nolte reported:
Over at the humorless, left-wing echo chamber that is the Xwitter clone Bluesky, disgraced former Washington Post reporter and current Vox Media podcaster Taylor Lorenz is openly celebrating the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.
In what has all the earmarks of a targeted assassination, the 50-year-old CEO was gunned down outside the Hilton Hotel in Midtown Manhattan early Wednesday morning by a masked gunman who is still on the loose.
The middle-aged Lorenz, who frequently crybabies about being harassed online, immediately used her Bluesky account to digitally jump for joy over the news. Worse, she then put targets on the backs of other healthcare company officials and CEOs.

What if the insurance companies refuse to cover those who wish harm on their executives. Like debunking but medical.

You won't have photos, but if these health insurers are publicly traded companies, then all one needs to do is review their SEC filings. The C-Suite execs are all there.

I would like to see the killer caught and an investigation completed. Seems like this is like planning open heart surgery with the triage nurse at an urgent care. I do think we have seen the end of the era of the celebrity CEO. The Epstein tapes ought to shovel some dirt on that coffin.

[TOWNHALL] White House Press Secretary Karine Jean Pierre held a briefing for the first time Friday since President Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S. We hold these truths to be self-evident. All men and women created ... by the — you know — you know, the thing... issued a broad and sweeping pardon for his son, Hunter Biden, Sunday night. After the pardon was issued, which covers any potential crimes committed between 2014-2024, Biden bolted to Africa and refused to answer questions from news hounds.
"Today, I signed a pardon for my son Hunter. From the day I took office, I said I would not interfere with the Justice Department's decision-making, and I kept my word even as I have watched my son being selectively, and unfairly, prosecuted. Without aggravating factors like use in a crime, multiple purchases, or buying a weapon as a straw purchaser, people are almost never brought to trial on felony charges solely for how they filled out a gun form. Those who were late paying their taxes because of serious addictions, but paid them back subsequently with interest and penalties, are typically given non-criminal resolutions. It is clear that Hunter was treated differently," Biden released in a statement, falsely claiming Hunter was targeted for political reasons.

[AMERICANTHINKER] Is it that hard to deliver small trailers for survivors of a monstrous hurricane ...as in blow me down!... ?
Well, to FEMA, Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S. You're a lyin' dog-faced pony soldier... 's emergency management agency it is.
Here are the sorry leavings:
Investigative news hound James O'Keefe said there was remarkably little done in hurricane-ravaged North Carolina, this, even after bad publicity hit the agency for its inadequate response. Since then, there has been clear evidence of political favoritism, first in Florida, and later in North Carolina. But results? They aren't about results:
Swol, an Asheville resident who seems to know what's going on, cited a raft of expensive inefficiencies:
Which is terrible, given the scale of destruction in North Carolina, and the fact that these taxpayers have paid taxes for years in order to have the peace of mind to know that if a disaster strikes, FEMA will help them. Any corporation with a record like FEMA's would rapidly be out of business. But it's business as usual with these guys. Results are secondary to their swamp dancings.
Others have noted that they're amazingly efficient when they want to be. They just need to have a soft spot for the client:
Which underlines that President Trump can't get into office soon enough -- while the winter is still raging and North Carolina's westerners are still struggling to make do. It's incredible that this is happening, an agency out of control that can't even minimally perform its most basic mission.
This is what DOGE was made for, and like President Trump, it can't sink its teeth into this one soon enough.
One hopes that after Jan 20th the FEMA folks are tried and JAILED for a long long time along with the local pols who seem to want the citizens to die for their property to belong to a lithium mining firm

[NYPOST] FBI special agents arrested embattled Boston councilor Tania Fernandes Anderson for an alleged kickback scheme in which she pocketed thousands in cash from a staffer in exchange for a large bonus
Fernandes Anderson was seen being taken into custody by federal authorities outside of her home in Dorchester on Friday morning, WCVB reported. She is expected to appear in court later this afternoon.
In late 2022, the councilor hired a relative to be on her staff and then defrauded the city when she finagled a deal with the staffer to receive ''additional compensation but would kickback most of this bonus pay,'' according to a court filing by the US Attorney's Office in Massachusetts.

The feds arrested a female Democratic pol for corruption? And in Boston, no less! She is a member of at least two protected classes, so we gotta ask "Whose shitlist did she get on?"
First guess: she got greedy and forget to make tithes and tributes to the appropriate parties.
Tania Fernandes Anderson is a Cape Verdean-born American politician and non-profit executive who is a member of the Boston City Council for the 7th district. A Democrat, she was elected in 2021 to succeed Kim Janey and represents Roxbury, Dorchester and part of the South End. She is the first practicing Muslim elected to the Council.
Wikipedia claims she came here illegally at age ten, got American citizenship in 2019 — at age 40. I assume that’s when she decided to enter politics.
[NYPOST] President Biden has overseen nearly four years of a two-tiered justice system, as his pardoning of Hunter Biden and the political persecutions of then-candidate Donald Trump ...Never got invited to a P.Diddy party... make all too clear.
But there have been quieter attacks on justice, like ''debanking'' — and few people realize they could be the next victims because they are a ''politically exposed person,'' that is someone who disagrees with the liberal status quo.
Debanking is a kind of financial blackballing that has appeared within just the last 20 years.
It started under then-President Barack Obama How much damage could he do in four years?... Eight, then... as a war to punish those seen as political enemies, like firearm manufacturers. Government documents unsealed at the end of 2020 proved that the federal government used its regulatory authority over financial markets to attack political opponents.
Government regulators essentially make it impossible for certain people or businesses to make online transactions, or to have a bank account or a credit card.
Dr. Joseph Mercola, a critic of the COVID vaccine, found his business accounts shut down by JP Morgan Chase, a move his chief financial officer claimed was at the same time Mercola spoke out against the Food and Drug Administration.
In her new memoir, Melania Trump says her bank account was terminated after the riots of Jan. 6, 2021, and her son Barron was unable to open his own account. She called it ''political discrimination.''
In the modern world, exclusion from electronic financial services is an economic death sentence ...the barbaric practice of sentencing a murderer to be punished for as long as his/her/its victim is dead... Regulators will claim that they're not technically forbidding a private bank from doing business with an individual, and that the bank is freely choosing not to have that person as a customer.
But the reality is very different — because of the undue influence and control in the hands of today's bloated administrative state.
A bureaucrat can make someone's life so difficult that the victim is forced to comply — the government strong-arming a private individual or institution into doing what the government itself cannot do by law.
It's like when the Biden administration pressured social-media companies into deplatforming anyone who questioned political talking points about the COVID pandemic.
The debanking scourge under President Biden has hit the crypto world particularly hard. The Securities and Exchange Commission has unleashed a plague of investigations, some real and some merely threatened, to force innovators and investors out of that space.
Dozens of tech and crypto founders have been debanked under Biden, and their inventions smothered.
On Joe Rogan's podcast, venture capitalist Marc Andreessen blamed the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, a group set up at the behest of Sen. Elizabeth Being Native American has been part of my story since the day I was born Warren ...The Great White Squaw, Lizzie is the Dem Senatrix from Massachussetts. She traces her noble lineage all the way back to Big Chief Spouting Bull. She has high cheekbones that stretch all the way to the top of her head. It has been alleged that she speaks with forked tongue but she denies that. She had a DNA test to prove her lineage and it turns out she's colorless... (D-Mass.) to go after crypto firms in particular.
''Basically every crypto founder, every crypto startup, either got debanked personally and forced out of the industry, or their company got debanked,'' Andreessen said.
Andreessen added that others, like Kanye West, have been debanked, ''For having the wrong politics. For saying unacceptable things. Under current banking regulations, after all the reforms of the last 20 years, there's now a category called a politically exposed person, PEP. And if you are a PEP, you are required by financial regulators to kick them off, to kick them out of your bank.''
President-elect Donald Trump's nominee for Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessent, has pointed out that many Democrats ...every time you hear the phrase white people, white supremacy,white anything but paint, you're listening to a Democrat. Ask him/her/it to reimagine something for you; they do that a lot, though not well. They can hear a dog whistle a mile or two away. They invented the spoils system and Tammany Hall, and inspired the addition of the word (Thomas) Nasty to the English language. They want to stop continental drift and repeal the law of unintended side effects... have been on an anti-crypto crusade as they attempt to wash off the stink of FTX and Sam Bankman Fried — the crypto scammer and fraud who gave massive campaign donations to Democratic politicians.
The problem goes far beyond crypto or the tech industry, however. And it's bigger than just the Biden administration, which uses surrogates like the Southern Poverty Law Center to fallaciously label any conservative institution a ''hate group.'' Doing business with a group that engages in ''hate'' can get a financial institution dinged by regulators for increased ''reputational risk.''
What does that have to do with a creditor's ability to repay a loan or the solvency of a bank or the worth of an individual's assets? Nothing. The radical left's push to debank anyone with whom they disagree has nothing to do with sound financial principles — it's all politics.
Anyone who appreciates freedom and the rule of law should be supremely grateful that the incoming president has put the babus bureaucrats on notice: Their days of covertly forcing political compliance are numbered.

I was astounded when Trudeau did this during the trucker convoy and protests. I would like to see legislation that precludes the government from encouraging de banking of an individual, group or class. Mandating that banks approves accounts and loans for everyone lead to a large housing bubble.

[THEGATEWAYPUNDIT] A powerful coalition of African American churches is calling for the suspension and investigation of MSNBC host civil rights hustler Al Sharpton ...Tawana Brawley's spiritual advisor... , alleging that donations from Kamala Harris launched her campaign on the “RuPaul’s Drag Race” 's campaign to Sharpton's National Action Network have compromised the integrity of the black Church and journalism.
*Snicker*
Last week, MSNBC admitted it was ''unaware'' that Vice President Kamala Harris's presidential campaign had paid $500,000 to Al Sharpton's National Action Network nonprofit ahead of a favorable interview with the Democratic nominee on October 20, just weeks before the election, according to Fox News.
After Harris's defeat to President-elect Donald Trump ...They hit him with slander, they impeached him twice. Nancy Pelosi tore up his State of the Union address on national TV. They stole an election and put his adherents in jail. They vilified him. They couldn't crucify him, so they shot him. Still, they can't keep him down... , Federal Election Commission (FEC) filings revealed that the Harris campaign made two $250,000 donations to Sharpton's National Action Network in early September and October.
Despite the apparent conflict of interest, the MSNBC weekend host did not disclose the donations to viewers or to the network executives about the payments before or after the interview.
According to a report by the Washington Free Beacon, who first broke the story, Harris's donation was part of a larger $5.4 million spending spree aimed at boosting her favorability among Black and Latino groups — a strategy that, as we know, fell flat.
Now, the National Black Church Initiative (NBCI), representing 27.7 million churchgoers and 150,000 churches across the country, issued a scathing blurb demanding transparency about a reported $500,000 payment from Harris's campaign to Sharpton's organization.
The NBCI says the payment raises questions about the ethics of both Sharpton and MSNBC, where Sharpton is a prominent host.
Rev. Anthony Evans, President of the NBCI, described the situation as a ''moral stain'' on the black Church and called on Sharpton to provide full transparency regarding the funds.

[BREITBART] Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA) on Thursday, after a groundswell of support for Defense Secretary nominee Pete Hegseth, denied she is behind a campaign on Capitol Hill to tank his nomination and seek the job herself. She's lying and so is Miss Lindsey
''I don't have a campaign against Pete,'' she told RealClearPolitics's White House correspondent Philip Wegmann, adding that he deserved to have a Senate confirmation hearing.
''I just want to make sure the process is able to play out and that we're thoroughly vetting him. I do believe that Pete deserves to have a hearing. All the rumblings out there are absolutely false. My role as a senator is to make sure that we are putting to bed any rumors, any anonymous whatever,'' she claimed.
She claimed that if there were allegations against the current Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, ''we would have gone through that process as well.''
Ernst's denial comes as she and close ally Sen. Lindsey Graham ...soft-spoken senator from South Carolina, former best buddy of John Maverick McCain. Since McCain's demise, Graham has become more outspoken, more Republican and more of a supporter of President Trump. The speech he gave in support of Brett Kavanaugh was downright manly and really cheesed off the Dems... (R-SC) expressed doubt about Hegseth, driving up speculation he would have to withdraw. Ernst and Graham also previously worked together to pressure Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) to drop his holds on promotions on generals due to the Biden Pentagon's child sacrifice abortion policy paying for troops to travel for child sacrifice abortions.
But while she has denied any campaign against Hegseth, the Federalist reported she has repeatedly called Trump, nagging for him to replace Hegseth.
And Democrats ...every time you hear the phrase white people, white supremacy,white anything but paint, you're listening to a Democrat. Ask him/her/it to reimagine something for you; they do that a lot, though not well. They can hear a dog whistle a mile or two away. They invented the spoils system and Tammany Hall, and inspired the addition of the word (Thomas) Nasty to the English language. They want to stop continental drift and repeal the law of unintended side effects... close to her have been publicly promoting her to replace him.
Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA), who sits on the Senate Armed Services Committee with Ernst, told news hounds, ''I'd start off with a very, very favorable inclination'' to confirm her, according to the Washington Examiner's Senate news hound, Ramsey Touchberry.
And Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), who also sits on the committee with Ernst, called her someone with ''independent judgment and integrity and high degree of insight—on military and foreign affair issues.'' He added, ''I think she'd have significant bipartisan support.''
Even some Republican senators, such as Sen. Kevin Cramer (R-ND), another member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, have floated Ernst as a possibility to replace Hegseth, later backtracking as support began to build up for him.
Sen. Mike Rounds (R-SD), another Senate Armed Services Committee Republican, also at first expressed reluctance over Hegseth, but has more recently struck a positive tone.

Looks like Iowa primaries are similar to Ohio. Only Republicans can vote in the Republican primary, but you can change your affiliation on the Election Day. There will be interference on Joni’s behalf if there is only one viable Dem challenger. MAGA should prevail if they stick together, Trump endorses a challenger and the challenger is someone like JD Vance.

[BREITBART] Representative James Clyburn (D-SC) claimed Friday on CNN ...formerly the Cable News Network, now who know what it might stand for... 's ''Inside Politics'' that the country was in danger of Jim Crow laws returning because voters did not prioritize democracy.
Host Dana Bash said, ''I want to switch gears to something that former President Obama said. He made I believe his first comments since the election. He said this last night. I want you to take a listen.''
Thursday in reliably Democrat Chicago, aka The Windy City or Mobtown ...home of Al Capone, the Chicago Black Sox, a succession of Daleys, Barak Obama, and Rahm Emmanuel... , former President Barack Obama If you like your coverage you can keep it... said, ''Talk of bridging our differences when the country and the world seemed so bitterly divided felt like an academic exercise, it felt farfetched, even naive. Especially since as far as they were concerned, the election proved that democracies pretty far down on people's priority list.''
Bash said, ''What do you make of the former president's comments?''
Clyburn said, ''Well, I think they ring true. Not that they should be true but they have demonstrated that that is the case. I you know, you know me very well, and you know that I spent a lot of time studying history. I've talked about this election, even going in the run up to the election from a historical standpoint. I seem to remember, as we were celebrating the 100th anniversary of this country's existence, we had a presidential election in 1876 and you see what happened to democracy in that election, it led to Jim Crow. I'm the ninth African-American to serve in Congress from South Carolina the problem is that 95 years between number eight and number nine because democracy was driven so far down on people's lists back in 1876. There's a danger of that happening again.''

Can Jim Crow come back?
Some see it is already here, just in a different version and how
it is practiced:
* Political manipulation and suppression,
* Voter Plantations,
* Welfare,
* SNAP/FOOD STAMPS,
and Federal/State Reg's and $$$$ that promotes Fatherless families.
Many see these Government processes as actually geared to promote a separate sub-culture. Instead of mainstreaming the Black community into the usual American Melting Pot tradition and forming as United America.
The DC Swamp has for 50+ years has rewarded Black Community Influencers, used $$$$ and reg's all to accomplish a modernized version of segregation, (Race Pimping) and played the Black Community for its votes. (Race Baiting)

...because voters did not prioritize democracy.
Obama echo. Pardon me, if your definition of democracy is "The Party"* then you have a very warped sense of what happened this November if it was not in fact democracy.
*'everything in the party, nothing outside the party, nothing against the party." About as fascistic as you can be.

[PJMEDIA] The most sensible Democrat in the land, Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.), is still a man of the left, and so moments of madness are almost as frequent from him as moments of insight, but he has come a very long way down a road that most leftists never travel at all. On Thursday's episode of ''The View,'' of all places, he demonstrated a remarkable and unprecedented honesty among leftists regarding the legal persecution of President-elect Trump and offered an intriguing suggestion for what could be done to end it. He still isn't all the way out of the cult, but Fetterman's heart is clearly in the right place.
Fox News reported Thursday that Fetterman told the assembled harridans of "The View" not only that the case against Trump was "politically motivated," but also that the case against Hunter Biden was likewise a partisan affair. Well, Senator, you're batting .500.
It was remarkable to hear a Democrat admit that the case against Trump was a political persecution designed to put him out of the running for reelection, but that doesn't change the fact that Hunter Biden appeared to be guilty of some very real and extremely serious crimes, and that Old Joe has done the nation a grave disservice by helping him escape justice and proving once again that no one is above the law except well-connected far-left Democrats ...every time you hear the phrase white people, white supremacy,white anything but paint, you're listening to a Democrat. Ask him/her/it to reimagine something for you; they do that a lot, though not well. They can hear a dog whistle a mile or two away. They invented the spoils system and Tammany Hall, and inspired the addition of the word (Thomas) Nasty to the English language. They want to stop continental drift and repeal the law of unintended side effects... "I think it's undeniable,'' Fetterman asserted (without evidence, as the establishment media likes to say of Trump), ''that the case against Hunter Biden was really politically motivated.'' Then, however, this most unlikely of clear-thinking leftists demonstrated once again his ability to reason for himself and courage to depart from the party line. ''But I also think,'' Fetterman added, ''it's true that the trial in New York for Trump, that was political as well, too. Now, in both cases, I think a pardon is appropriate."
A pardon is not actually appropriate. For Trump to accept a pardon would be a tacit admission that he has done something wrong. Trump should continue fighting all of these cases until the very last one is withdrawn so that the American people and the world on the lam can see beyond any shadow of a doubt that there was nothing to them in the first place beyond the Democrats' willingness to corrupt the justice system in pursuit of the destruction of the man they hate and fear beyond anyone or anything else in the world.
What's more, the case against Trump in New York doesn't involve any federal charges, so Biden couldn't issue a pardon even if he wanted to. Nevertheless, even if Biden's handlers prompted him to make a statement admitting that all the cases against Trump were more partisan political lawfare than the noble pursuit of justice, it would go a long way toward binding the nation's wounds and enabling us to move forward as one nation, with malice toward none and charity for all. That, of course, will never happen even if Old Joe lives to be a million years old.
Fetterman, however, was on point, at least in regard to the cases against Trump, when he added, "And I really think collectively, you know, America's confidence in these kinds of institutions has been damaged by these kinds of cases, and we cannot allow these kinds of institutions to be weaponized against our political opponents, and it's very clear both trials were politically motivated and weaponized on the other side."
At that point, Joy Behar brought another case of the Democrats' legal persecution of Trump: the phony Jan. 6 ''insurrection'' as she ''suggested the incoming Trump administration would be defending a pardon for them using a similar argument to the one offered by Fetterman.'' In reality, Trump needs to go much farther than saying that the Jan. 6 prosecutions were politically motivated. He needs to call them out as the crime against innocent people that they were and call for a full and open investigation of the left's fabrication of the entire ''insurrection'' narrative.
[NYPOST] Harry Litman, the latest opinion columnist to resign from the Los Angeles Times, slammed the paper's owner, Patrick Soon-Shiong, for allegedly ''currying favor'' with President-elect Donald Trump ...Perhaps no man has ever had as much fun being president of the US... in a ''shameful capitulation.''
The longtime senior legal columnist, who wrote for the LA Times for more than 15 years, announced his resignation Thursday in his Substack newsletter.
''I don't want to continue to work for a paper that is appeasing Trump and facilitating his assault on democratic rule for craven reasons,'' Litman wrote. ''My resignation is a protest and visceral reaction against the conduct of the paper's owner, Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong.''
