“We Visited ‘Ground Zero’ for Hospice Fraud: Los Angeles, California”(CBS News)

The hospice business in LA is booming.

Unfortunately, most of these “businesses” are fake and sucking Medicare dry.

One woman discovered she was dying when Medicare refused to pay for physical therapy because, according to the system, she was already in hospice.

She wasn’t dying.

She was playing pickleball.

But on paper she was terminal—and someone was billing the federal government for the privilege.

Add LA

“Gavin Newsom’s wife and her firm pocketed $3.7M from her ‘gender stereotypes’ charity, unearthed IRS filings reveal” (Daily Mail)

Lemme get this straight.

Start a charity.

Then pay yourself and your own firm $3.7 million—a third of all the dough that rolls in?

That’s not philanthropy.

It’s venture capitalism with better tax treatment.

“The Obama Foundation Is Even More Corrupt Than You Thought”(PJ Media)

An $850 million monument to influence, donors, and brand—wrapped in the moral language of philanthropy.

Because in modern politics, presidents don’t retire. They institutionalize themselves.

A nonprofit and permanent post-presidential influence machine combined.

The donor list reads like Davos—a who’s who of the global influence class, investing in access and future leverage.

• Jeff Bezos — $100 million donation

• Connie & Steve Ballmer (Microsoft billionaire) — $25M+ tier

• Marc Benioff (Salesforce founder)

• Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation

• Reid Hoffman (LinkedIn co-founder)

Here’s the real scandal:

Jackson Park was public land.

Today a private presidential foundation builds its legacy monument there and runs the show.

Technically the land still belongs to the people. Which in modern American politics means: the public keeps the grass. The powerful keep the campus.

“Farrah Fawcett’s unrecognizable nepo-baby son seen with DEVIL HORN face tattoos after allegedly stabbing actor in the head” (DailyMail)

Yet another child of Hollywood celebrities goes nuts.

Redmond O’Neal, wayward progeny of Ryan O’Neal & Farrah Fawcett

The 5250 tattoo explained: “A 5250 hold is a California-based, involuntary, 14-day psychiatric commitment that follows an initial 72-hour (5150) hold. It is initiated if a facility determines a person is a danger to themselves, others, or gravely disabled.”

“Cops swarm on Jeffrey Epstein’s Zorro ranch to search for bodies of two girls strangled during rough sex sessions amid human experimentation claims” (Daily Mail)

About friggin’ time.

Not least because—aside from a couple female bodies said to be buried nearby—witnesses are now coming forward with allegations that push the Epstein story into even darker territory.

Several men and women claim they were drugged at the ranch, awakened around medical equipment, and later realized biological material had been taken from their bodies.

Human experimentation.

Without authorization from the humans. (May explain buried bodies.)

Somewhere out there in that New Mexico desert lies the truth about what really happened at Zorro Ranch—and maybe about pedophiles from the global power elite.

“London Knife Crime is So Bad They Now Need ‘Bleed Kits’ in Every Bus.” (The National Pulse)

Not the London I once knew. So very sad.

But at least the British capital now boasts over 1,000 mosques.

“Britain to Remove Churchill from Banknotes” (The National Pulse)

The British Bulldog apparently no longer meets modern branding requirements.

Rather like the bust of Churchill removed from the Oval Office during the Biden administration.

(Trump reinstalled it.)
