It's been EASY to do for decades!-----Large-scale health care fraud and kickback conspiracy that led to more than $127 million in false claims to federal health benefit programs| Medicaid & Medicare Fraud | Fraud of the Day
A scheme to use durable medical equipment (DME) companies, telemedicine companies, and doctors in order to submit millions of dollars in false claims to healthcare benefit programs based on a circular scheme of kickbacks and bribes. - Larry Benson 
Empire then paid kickbacks to telemedicine companies, who in turn paid kickbacks to doctors in exchange for prescriptions for the DME...
And then Karlewicz and Romanowski’s step-by-step fraud cycle would repeat.
- Empire received over $63 million in kickback payments as a result of this scheme.
- In total, Karlewicz and Romanowski caused the submission of over $127 million in false claims...
Would the Left Finally Explain the Inexplicable? | RealClearPolitics
Somewhere between 10 and 12 million illegal aliens were invited into the United States by the Biden administration. - Victor Davis HansonAfter all, they somehow managed to stop the congressionally approved continuance of the border wall, to subvert federal immigration law, to emasculate the border patrol, and to ensure that millions of people around the world could simply walk into the U.S. illegally, unaudited and with impunity.
But why did Biden or his puppeteers do something so anarchic, so injurious to their fellow Americans?

Where Was Democrats’ Outrage When Obama And Biden Deported Illegal Alien Housekeepers And Gardeners?
No one made a peep when Obama and Biden deported millions of illegal aliens who also merely worked hard, paid taxes, and stayed out of prison. - Todd Bensman
It’s going to happen as sure as the sun will rise:
It’s going to happen as sure as the sun will rise:
Once Congress approves a “big, beautiful bill,” the Trump administration will supercharge its “mass deportation” plans far beyond mostly illegal alien convicts...
And along with it, get ready to see illegal immigration advocates — among them progressive operatives and protesters, battalions of lawyers, corporate media, and sanctuary state elected officials — intensify an information war barrage of planted heartstring-tugging “human interest” stories...

- But Americans need to be reminded that no such war for their hearts and minds happened when Democrats Joe Biden, Barack Obama, and Bill Clinton collectively deported millions of illegal aliens who also merely worked hard, paid taxes, and stayed out of U.S. prisons and off gang and terrorism intelligence databases...

'Shredding documents as we speak': Top Republican claims Epstein Files may have been destroyed * WorldNetDaily * by WND Staff
'Shredding documents as we speak': Top Republican claims Epstein Files may have been destroyed * WorldNetDaily * by WND Staff:
"One of my biggest fears, which I expressed with [FBI Director] Kash Patel and a lot of people, including [White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy] Stephen Miller, going into the new administration, was this: I hope they're not shredding documents right now. This was a few weeks before the transition.
"I said, 'I hope they're not shredding documents.' But you all need to go on that first day and try to get all this stuff released, because my fear – based on what I've dealt with in investigations and in communication with this deep state apparatus – is that they're probably in there shredding documents as we speak. So, hopefully someone has a copy of that."
How Activists And Flawed Data Created The Illusion Of A Climate Apocalypse - Climate Change Dispatch
Climatologist exposes climate science's biggest lie. - by Dr. Matthew Wielicki
One of the most influential and deceptive climate graphics circulating today did not originate in any peer-reviewed scientific publication.
Instead, after a thorough investigation, I traced its roots to a 2018 activist document titled “Don’t Mention the Emergency?“ published by the Climate Emergency Declaration group.
On page 7 of this document, a graphic dramatically juxtaposes heavily smoothed temperature proxy reconstructions with modern instrumental temperature data, falsely presenting today’s warming as unprecedented and alarming...

‘It will probably lead to the end of the world’ — what tech bros really think about AI
TECHNOLOGY - In Empire of AI, Karen Hao examines the rise of Sam Altman, the founder of OpenAI - Angus ColwellOpenAI’s Sam Altman was sacked by his own board in 2023 over concerns the company was moving too fast
Sam Altman is one of the most powerful men there has ever been.
Sam Altman is one of the most powerful men there has ever been.
He runs OpenAI, the lab that gave us ChatGPT.
He’s just turned 40 and he looks like he was AI-generated to run a tech company: casual clothes, big salesman eyes, furrowed brows.
He tries not to think too much about artificial intelligence turning on us, he has said.
- But if it does, “I have,” he told The New Yorker in 2016, “guns, gold, potassium iodide, antibiotics, batteries, water, gas masks from the Israeli Defence Force and a big patch of land in Big Sur I can fly to.”
- He also once said, “AI will probably most likely lead to the end of the world, but in the meantime there’ll be great companies.”
What’s the most sensible reaction to this?
I’ll propose one, it’s: Aaaaaarrrgghhh!!!...
'Snitches': Democrats declare holy war on Christianity, and Catholic Church confirms it will defy new law * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh
'Snitches': Democrats declare holy war on Christianity, and Catholic Church confirms it will defy new law * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh:
Majority Democrats in the autocracy in the state of Washington now have declared open war on Christianity, and the Catholic Church has responded with a volley that includes its commitment to defy a new law.
At issue, according to a report from constitutional expert Jonathan Turley, who has not only testified before Congress on constitutional disputes, but represented members in court in those fights, is the state's decision to alter the confessional requirements of the church.
"The Democrats have added to the four stages of the confession. Examination, confession, absolution, and penance may now be followed by incarceration," he explained.
Green Energy Suicide: The West Pays The Price For Its Net-Zero Delusions - Climate Change Dispatch
‘Clean energy’ kills wildlife, scars landscapes, and fails when it’s needed most. - Paul DriessenMuch of Europe, however, seems headed for energy and civilizational collapse.
- “Grooming gangs” sexually exploiting young girls,
- vehicular rampages and
- knife attacks,
- frequent gang rapes,
- enclaves of assimilation-rejecting migrants, and
- native populations whose lower birthrates make it likely that legal and illegal immigrants will soon dominate demographics, cultures and elections –
all are harbingers of slow but steady civilizational decline across much of Europe.
- Prolonging these problems, from Britain to France to Germany, ruling liberal/socialist elites are shutting down conservative voices and even entire parties that question or challenge government ideologies on climate change, the energy “transition” to wind and solar, open borders, and free speech...
- Perhaps worst of all, Europe may be entering not just a new intellectual Dark Age, but a North Korea-style darkness age – where energy is scarce and costly, factories close, jobs disappear, lighting and heating become luxuries, and governments increasingly control lives, livelihoods, and living standards...

America needs MORE DOGE!-----Former Army Civilian Employee Sentenced to 15 Years in Federal Prison for $100 Million Fraud Scheme | United States Department of Justice
Janet Yamanaka Mello, the civilian Army employee who stole over $108 million from a grant program designed to provide services to military dependents and their families was sentenced today to 180 months in prison for five counts of mail fraud and five counts of filing a false tax return.
- In or around December 2016 through at least August 29, 2023, Mello formed a business she called Child Health and Youth Lifelong Development (CHYLD).
- The sole purpose of CHYLD was to receive grant funds from the 4-H Military Partnership Grant program, which Mello fraudulently secured by way of her position as a CYS financial program manager.
Once Mello received a grant check, she deposited the check into her bank account, spending the money on clothing, jewelry, vehicles and real estate...

Dems' favorite MS-13 associate ran human trafficking operations, says ex-boss | Blaze Media:
Abrego Garcia's illegal entry into the U.S., his failure to appear for hearings on traffic violations, the domestic abuse allegations lodged against him, his links to a terrorist gang, and his identification by two immigration courts as a danger to the community were likely already cause enough to justify his deportation and to question his Democratic defenders' judgment. However, more damning information has come to light.
In the wake of the Tennessee Star's publication of footage showing Abrego Garcia's Nov. 30, 2022, encounter with Tennessee Highway Patrol and confirmation of the Department of Justice's investigation into the traffic stop, ABC News reported that the Salvadoran's boss has outed him as an human trafficker.
