Good evening and welcome to the Worldview Report.
The CEO of the nation’s largest health insurance company, United Healthcare, was gunned down in midtown Manhattan on Wednesday morning in what police are calling “a brazen targeted attack.”
Brian Thompson was assassinated as he walked into the Hilton Hotel about a half mile from Time’s Square in New York City. He had just arrived for a shareholders meeting and was about to enter the hotel lobby unaccompanied by any security when he was shot multiple times in the back and his lower leg.
The shooter can be seen with a silencer on his handgun.

Well, here we are a month after the November 5th election and we are just now getting the final House race settled. It took California that long, over four weeks, to count the votes in California’s 13th District House race between a popular Republican incumbent, Matt Duarte, and his Democrat challenger.
And, low and behold, surprise, I think you can guess the outcome.
Here is journalist JD Rucker to explain how it all went down.

Wow. The Republicans, when it’s all said and done, will not have any bigger margin in the House than they have had in the last two years of the Biden administration.
Get ready for major obstructionism as the Democrats will be well-positioned to block most of Trump’s legislative agenda in the House.

Trump-appointed Judge Mark C. Scarsi ripped into President Joe Biden’s decision to pardon his son Hunter Biden on Tuesday in a court filing, saying that while the president has broad authority, he cannot “rewrite history.”
The judge said he believes elements of the sweeping pardon go beyond the authority granted to the president by the U.S. Constitution.
Biden released a statement Sunday evening announcing his pardon of Hunter Biden’s cases, claiming that any reasonable person reviewing the facts in the case would conclude that his son was being targeted because of his connection to the president. In a filing on Tuesday evening, Judge Scarsi, who presided over Hunter’s federal tax case in California, criticized the president for misrepresenting the facts in his statement.
Scarsi wrote:
“According to the President, ‘no reasonable person who looks at the facts of [Mr. Biden’s] cases can reach any other conclusion than [Mr. Biden] was singled out only because he is [the President’s] son.’ But two federal judges expressly rejected Mr. Biden’s arguments that the Government prosecuted Mr. Biden because of his familial relation to the President.”
In short, what this judge is saying is that Biden’s pardon was unconstitutional and may need to be revisited in a court of law.

It’s being reported by the Wall Street Journal that President-elect Trump is considering replacing Pete Hegseth’s nomination as Secretary of Defense with that of Governor Ron DeSantis.

The WSJ, citing unnamed sources claiming to be familiar with the discussions, said DeSantis is being considered for the post amid Republican senators’ concerns over mounting allegations about the former Fox News host’s personal life.
Picking DeSantis, a 2024 GOP primary rival for the presidency, would amount to a stunning turn for Trump. But he would also find in the governor a well-known conservative with a service record who shares Trump’s, and Hegseth’s, view on culling woke policies in the military.
Hegseth put out a statement Wednesday saying he still has the support of Donald Trump and will not bow out of the nomination.

According to a piece in the America First Report, Senator Lindsey Graham is leading the charge to torch Trump’s pick of Pete Hegseth to lead the Defense Department.
Hegseth is a leading voice against wokeness in the military. But, according to America First Report, Hegseth “also represents a less-interventionist approach to our national defense and that’s a non-starter for the Neocons. This is why some Republicans, led by Senator Lindsey Graham, are latching onto ridiculous claims by NBC News that he’s a drunk.”
Current and former co-workers of Hegseth are defending him saying the newest hoax the Democrats and RINOs like Graham are spreading about him is complete malarky. A blatant smear campaign.
Here is Graham doing his best to throw gasoline on the Democrats’ false narrative about Hegseth.

This is the same guy who voted to confirm Lloyd Austin, and had no problem with the fact that Austin sat on the board of defense contractor Raytheon for years and is part of the military-industrial complex that is so interwoven with the D.C. swamp.
But when it comes to unsubstantiated rumors about a true conservative, Graham is all over it.

President-elect Donald Trump also announced on Wednesday that Peter Navarro will serve as his Senior Counselor for Trade and Manufacturing in his forthcoming second term. Navarro was imprisoned on contempt of Congress charges for not handing over correspondence between himself and then-President Trump in the lead-up to and aftermath of J6.
Trump wrote on Truth Social:
“I am pleased to announce that Peter Navarro, a man who was treated horribly by the Deep State, or whatever else you would like to call it, will serve as my Senior Counselor for Trade and Manufacturing. During my First Term, few were more effective or tenacious than Peter in enforcing my two sacred rules, Buy American, Hire American. He helped me renegotiate unfair Trade Deals like NAFTA and the Korea-U.S. Free Trade Agreement (KORUS), and moved every one of my Tariff and Trade actions FAST.”
Trump added that the position “leverages Peter’s broad range of White House experience, while harnessing his extensive Policy analytic and Media skills. His mission will be to help successfully advance and communicate the Trump Manufacturing, Tariff, and Trade Agendas.”
Navarro is a noted author of more than a dozen bestselling books on strategic business management and unfair trade, Trump noted, adding: “He did a superb job for the American People in my First Term. Peter will do even better as Senior Counselor to protect American Workers, and truly Make American Manufacturing Great Again.”

Trump also nominated Daniel P. Driscoll for Secretary of the Army. Trump wrote that “as a former Soldier, Investor, and Political Advisor, Dan brings a powerful combination of experiences to serve as a disruptor and change agent.” Driscoll completed Army Ranger school, and was deployed with the 10th Mountain Division as a Cavalry Scout Platoon Leader in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. Following his service, Driscoll most recently served as Senior Advisor to Vice President JD Vance.
Trump also announced that Adam Boehler was selected to serve as his Special Presidential Envoy for Hostage Affairs, being given the personal rank of ambassador.
Trump wrote, “Adam worked for me as a Lead Negotiator on the Abraham Accords team. He has negotiated with some of the toughest people in the World, including the Taliban, but Adam knows that NO ONE is tougher than the United States of America, at least when President Trump is its Leader. Adam will work tirelessly to bring our Great American Citizens HOME.”

A Democrat senator is calling on Joe Biden to extend deportation protections and work permits for illegal aliens in the U.S. to protect them from Trump’s promised mass-deportation program.
In a post to X, Senator Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV) said:
“President Biden has the power to protect immigrant families, and I’m calling on him to use it.”
She called on Biden to invoke Temporary Protected Status, or TPS, for all illegals.
TPS is a status administered by the Department of Homeland Security that allows nationals who are already living in the U.S. illegally to obtain work permits and be shielded from deportation.
The status grants protection to foreign nationals from countries considered unsafe to return them to. Which, of course, is not the case for the overwhelming majority of illegals.
TPS has been used broadly by the Biden regime to protect hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens from Haiti and Venezuela, including violent gang members.
Meanwhile, the Biden administration has sought to provide additional safeguards for those protected from deportation via the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, program.
DACA benefited illegal aliens who came to the U.S. as minors.
During a Tuesday appearance on MSNBC, Cortez Masto said:
“They are part of our communities, and what the president can do is just take legal action to extend their TPS statuses. But it’s not just our TPS recipients. My hope is that the president, in the last two months, also quickly processes our DACA recipients’ applications. We need to make sure our dreamers also have the ability to stay here, continue to be a part of the country that they grew up in.”

House GOP Speaker Mike Johnson says there will be no new funding for Ukraine passed through the House under Joe Biden’s term.
Biden and his handlers, most notably Jake Sullivan, have said they will do everything in their power to funnel as much money and weapons to Ukraine as possible before handing the ball off to the Trump administration, and even Trump’s own national security advisor, Mike Waltz, has said he stands united with the Biden administration is accomplishing that goal.
But Johnson is apparently not on board with any new funding.

Time now for our nightly Worldview Report commentary.
The Biden administration has triggered another proxy war for Donald Trump to deal with when he becomes president next month. The U.S. deep state is fighting a proxy war in Syria, which appears to be waged with the intention of further destabilizing the Middle East and stirring up another front in World War III.
Syria is collapsing under the weight of another U.S.-sponsored proxy Civil War, with the U.S., Israel and Sunni jihadists on one side and Russia, Iran, Assad, and Shiite jihadists on the other.
Al Nusra (which is comprised of Al-Qaida and ISIS affiliates) is taking over the country with the help of Turkey, a U.S. ally and key member of the NATO military alliance. These rebels have seized the city of Aleppo and many smaller towns and villages.
M. Dowling at The Independent Sentinel notes that “Jake Sullivan has said Al-Qaida is on our side in Syria.”
Jake Sullivan is Biden’s national security adviser and a key enabler, along with Secretary of State Antony Blinken, of the anti-Russia obsessed deep-state club that shares one thing in common. Every one of them belongs to the globalist Trilateral Commission and Council on Foreign Relations.
Dowling notes that Syria’s civil war started in 2011 after an uprising against President Bashar Assad’s government. Five foreign powers now have a military presence in the country, including the U.S., Russia, Israel and Iran.
Forces opposed to Assad, along with U.S.-backed fighters, control more than a third of the country and now Russia and Iran have launched a counter-offensive. Russia is very upset with Turkey for instigating the coup, likely with the assistance of the CIA.
The false narrative being proffered by the U.S. mockingbird media is that a rag-tag coalition of so-called noble rebels has emerged to save Syria from Assad.
But these are Sunni jihadists fighting Shia jihadists.
As Dowling rightly observes, “All jihadists are bad guys.”
They are bad because as soon as they get in power one of the first things they do is start raping the Christian women and executing the Christian men. It happened in Iraq after Saddam Hussein was overthrown and it’s happening now in Syria.
Congress has for years funded the so-called Syrian rebels.
Dowling quotes Joe Kent, a former chief warrant officer in the U.S. Army special forces, saying that the U.S. is “in an endless cycle of violence” and a “regime-change war” in Syria that the U.S. has pushed.
The world is aflame and the regime in Washington appears to be dowsing it with gasoline in anticipation of handing the chaos over to Donald Trump to deal with as the 47th president.
Dowling ends her article with this truth bomb:
“We need to be out of Syria. We’re helping no one, certainly not Americans. This is another spear in World War III.”
That does it for this edition of the Worldview Report.
