PRESIDENT TRUMP SAYS HE'LL PERMANENTLY PAUSE MIGRATION FROM ALL "THIRD WORLD COUNTRIES"

As many of you know, Sarah Beckstrom has died. You can read more (with additional commentary from Douglas Murray here). As a result of this murder....



President Trump said late Thursday that he intends to “permanently pause” migration from all “Third World Countries,” to allow the US to “fully recover” in a Thanksgiving Truth Social post.

“Even as we have progressed technologically, Immigration Policy has eroded those gains and living conditions for many,” Trump wrote late Thursday night.

“I will permanently pause migration from all Third World Countries to allow the U.S. system to fully recover, terminate all of the millions of Biden illegal admissions, including those signed by Sleepy Joe Biden’s Autopen, and remove anyone who is not a net asset to the United States,” he added. He will additionally “denaturalize migrants who undermine domestic tranquility, and deport any Foreign National who is a public charge, security risk, or non-compatible with Western Civilization,” he wrote in the long post.

Welcome to Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton--our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools, our houses of worship--in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.

This is the 23rd installment in a series launched in December 2022 examining Optum and UnitedHealth, as well as broader issues surrounding corporate medical care.

By Adam Stone

After nearly three years of following Optum’s erratic local adventures – the beleaguered phone system, the alleged upcoding, the patient billing complaints, the doctor exodus, and much more – the organization appears to be approaching an inflection point.

Local physician sources told me last week that Northwell Health is in discussions to assume control of several Optum specialty departments, including urology, surgery and orthopedics.   READ MORE AT STONE’S THROW: Northwell Set to Take Over Optum Specialties, Local Doctor Sources Say | The Examiner News

SARAH BECKSTROM HAS DIED

Sarah Beckstrom, one of the West Virginia National Guard members shot in a cowardly ambush by an Afghan refugee Wednesday, has died.

President Trump announced the passing of the 20-year-old during a Thanksgiving evening call to half a dozen military units to mark the holiday.

“She’s just passed away. She’s no longer with us. She’s looking down at us right now,” a somber Trump told the service members. “Incredible person, outstanding in every single way.” “Just horrible.,More at ”Sarah Beckstrom, one of the National Guardsmen shot by crazed Afghan refugee, dies | New York Post
