Rev Wright’s gay choir director, Donald Young, was killed with similar fact patterns as Seth Rich, and many here felt both were carried out by the same wet work crew, possibly the same gang outfit.

***The building occupies an entire city block and is one of 41 New York City buildings with its own zip code***

The shooter walked into the building openly carrying a rifle - in downtown New York City! 'From the river to the sea' ... watch... One poor off duty police woman - grist for the mill!

Somehow I got the wrong quote. Should have read: “I hope Obama faces the music for what he’s done, but he may not because of the immunity clause, recently reinforced by the USSC.”

Florida’s Uthmeier launches investigation into climate change groups

https://www.thecentersquare.com/florida/article_66e07cbe-d946-4974-b317-56dd5d0dca74.html

Excerpt:

lorida Attorney General James Uthmeier announced on Monday that his office has issued subpoenas against two climate change groups involved in environmental, social and governance advocacy.

Uthmeier’s office is going to determine whether the CDP (formerly the Climate Disclosure Project) and the Science Based Targets Initiative violated consumer protection or antitrust laws by coercing companies into disclosing proprietary data and paying for access under the guise of environmental transparency.

“Radical climate activists have hijacked corporate governance and weaponized it against the free market,” Uthmeier said in a release. “Florida will not sit back while international pressure groups shake down American companies to fund their ESG grift. We’re using every tool of the law to stop the Climate Cartel from exploiting businesses and misleading consumers.”

ESG is an acronym used in conjunction with environmental, social, and governance policies in investments.

According to state officials, the 25-year-old CDP was founded by British activists with the goal to “dematerialize economic growth” and “prevent dangerous climate change.”

According to the group’s website, it runs the world’s largest disclosure system and has a quarter of the world’s global companies paying to report, revise and promote their data.

State officials say they are selling services intended to improve their scores.

Uthmeier’s office says the group will even offer favorable quotes from CDP management for a price. The office also says investment groups such as Bloomberg, ISS, S&P Global, and Santander rely on CDP data for financial decisions.

Florida officials say SBTi, which was founded by CDP and the United Nations Global Compact, sells validation of climate goals to companies and directs them to the CDP for progress reporting, which officials say represents a “a profit-driven feedback loop.”

The group says it leads the way toward a net-zero economy, boosting innovation and driving sustainable growth by setting “ambitious, science-based emissions reduction targets.”

The state investigation will center on scrutinizing deceptive trade practices such as selling better scores and public endorsements; “pay for play” with companies incentivized to subsidize the organizations for favorable treatment; misrepresentation of environmental data used by investors and consumers.

.....The Florida attorney general’s investigation into CDP and SBTi marks a critical step in holding the climate cartel accountable,” said Jason Isaac, the CEO of the American Energy Institute. “These activist outfits have built a pay-to-play climate racket that pressures companies into advancing radical agendas, all while profiting from the data they manipulate and the scores they sell. This is not transparency, it’s extortion wrapped in green branding. By exposing and dismantling this scheme, states are standing up for consumers, competition, and the free market.”

Experts call for investigation into $86 billion in Medicare Advantage ‘ghost benefits’

https://www.thecentersquare.com/national/article_3bc0eb29-47d4-4f72-aed1-7300f6f1aef7.html

Excerpt:

As Congress debates how to rein in federal spending, some experts say aspects of Medicare Advantage should be on the chopping block, starting with $86 billion a year in taxpayer-funded supplemental benefits that often go unused or unverified.

The federal government pays Medicare Advantage plans rebate dollars to cover extra services, including dental, vision, hearing, and over-the-counter drugs. However, a 2024 study published by JAMA Network Open found that only $3.9 billion of that money went toward dental, vision and hearing benefits.

Meanwhile, the industry spent an estimated $16 billion on $1,000 “Flex Cards” for new enrollees – prepaid cash cards often used for groceries, utility bills and even cable TV. Critics say the cards are mostly a marketing gimmick and don’t improve health outcomes.

“Amazingly, Medicare plans aren’t required to tell regulators how much they spend on medical and prescription drug claims,” health policy expert Mark Merritt said in a statement. “This is a recipe for ghost benefits that look good on paper but can’t be accessed due to red tape and high out-of-pocket costs.”

Medicare requires insurers to project how they will spend their rebates, but not to report how they spend them. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) doesn’t verify whether the benefits are used or delivered.

The Medicare Payment Advisory Commission (MedPAC) flagged the issue in its June 2025 report to Congress.

It found a “fundamental lack of transparency” around how rebate dollars are spent and questioned whether these benefits improve outcomes or just boost insurance company profits.

Medicare Advantage plans also receive $40 billion this year in risk-adjusted payments and $12.7 billion in quality bonus payments. However, oversight is limited. A Wall Street Journal report found that $50 billion from 2018 to 2021 was paid based on diagnoses submitted by the plans themselves, not by doctors.

Plans are required to spend at least 85% of revenue on care and “quality improvements,” but CMS allows the $86 billion in supplemental rebates to count toward that number – even though most of it funds non-medical perks. That includes programs that restrict care, like prior authorization and AI-based claims denial systems.
