Vance-Led White House Task Force Takes Down First Fraudsters In Newsom’s California
Calif. Gov. Gavin Newsom wants to be our next president, but before he even makes it through the Democratic primaries, he’s gonna have a lot to try and explain. He’ll need all the luck he can get.
He’ll have to explain how he and his Democrat majority allowed homelessness to explode under his watch; why millions of Californians have bailed on the state for others; why housing costs so much in the ‘Golden State’; why he has opposed every Trump administration effort to locate and deport illegal aliens; why he still opposes more offshore oil drilling even as his residents pay the highest gas prices in the country; and finally, why his administration hasn’t done jack shirky about the massive amounts of fraud just uncovered by Vice President JD Vance and his anti-fraud task force.
In one of the schemes, patients were admitted, exploited for their Medicare benefits, and then discharged when they were no longer useful. In another scheme, patients were bribed with monthly payments while the providers pocketed taxpayer-funded subsidies.
“This is the first takedown for the new White House Fraud Task Force,” Fox News’ William La Jeunesse said. “They arrested two owners of two hospices here in Greater Los Angeles. They’re accused of collectively stealing about 16 million dollars from taxpayers, and this money was intended for compassionate end-of-life care for the terminally ill.”
The co-owners of St. Francis Palliative Care Hospice were arrested for admitting patients who did not qualify for hospice care while billing the government approximately $30,000 per patient. Once the benefits ran out, the patients were discharged. The owners were also found to be forging documents and medical records while collecting taxpayer funds, resulting in a total of over seven million dollars.
In a separate case, the owners of Topanga Hospice were arrested for bribing patients by giving them $600 a month in cash envelopes, while collecting around $6,000 a month from the federal government for each individual. They even hired marketers to locate seniors to be involved in this scheme. The hospice operation billed the government approximately eight million dollars, enrolling individuals who were neither eligible nor terminally ill.
“The name of this endeavor has been a project called Never Say Die, because the folks who are in the nursing and hospice facilities owned by this couple and their family don’t seem to ever pass away,” La Jeunesse said, having revealed earlier that “Nationally, 80 percent of people admitted to hospice die, usually in the first few weeks.” However, at these hospice facilities, “almost nobody died. After eight months, 97 percent were still alive.”
“So, the feds are here for a reason,” he added. “California was giving out thousands of hospice licenses to people who were unqualified, no oversight, and, of course, taxpayers have been paying for it ever since.”
All of this comes as California Democrats – including Newsom – have claimed their state doesn’t have a fraud problem. As for Newsom, he will likely try to claim during the primaries and later, during the general election, that he ‘didn’t know this was going on.’ Well, that won’t hold water; it took Vance and his team about 10 minutes to find their first fraud cases.
Oh, and let’s not forget Hakeem Jeffries Should Be In JAIL For Sick Stunt Against President Trump, after uncovering massive fraud in Tim Walz’s Minnesota, just last month.
Full Story : The Truth About the Axe in the Funeral Home
The funeral home was too beautiful for the terror hiding inside it.
Cream-colored walls glowed beneath soft lights. White flowers surrounded the glossy white coffin like a cloud. Gold handles shone along its sides, and a large floral arrangement rested neatly on the lid, as if beauty could make death easier to accept.
Around the coffin, mourners stood in black formal clothes, silent and stiff, their eyes lowered in practiced grief.
At the front of the room stood the widow.
Margaret Vale wore a black funeral dress, pearl earrings, and a mourning veil that softened her sharp face but could not hide the tension in her mouth. Her hands were folded neatly in front of her, but her fingers kept tightening against each other.
Behind her stood a male mourner in a black suit, white shirt, and black tie. His face was pale, his posture uncertain, as if he was waiting for something to go wrong.
Then the doors burst open.
A woman in an orange work uniform stepped into the room.
Her name was Claire Mason.
Her messy light brown hair was tied back. Her pale face looked exhausted, as if she had not slept in days. A white apron hung over her uniform, stained faintly from work. In both hands, she gripped a wood-handled axe.
Gasps moved through the guests.
Margaret turned sharply beneath her veil.
“No,” she whispered.
Claire walked straight toward the coffin.
A few mourners stepped back. Someone dropped a program onto the polished floor. The male mourner behind Margaret moved forward, but he stopped when he saw Claire’s face.
She was not confused.
She was not hysterical.
She looked shattered, but certain.
Margaret’s voice rose in panic. “Stop her!”
Claire lifted the axe above her head.
“Open it!”
The blade came down hard onto the glossy white coffin lid.
The impact cracked through the room like thunder.
The white flower arrangement shook violently. A golden handle rattled. A jagged line split across the polished surface of the lid. Several guests cried out and stumbled backward.
Claire stood over the coffin, breathing hard, both hands still locked around the axe handle.
Margaret clutched her chest.
The male mourner stared in disbelief.
“What are you doing?” he asked.
Claire slowly looked up at him.
Her eyes were wet, but they did not break.
“What they buried,” she said, “isn’t the truth.”
