This is inconceivable, but the number of Hospices in Los Angeles County total one third (1/4) of the total number of hospices in the United States. As CMS Administrator, Dr. Mehmet Oz is spearheading a major crackdown on alleged hospice fraud, particularly in California, describing it as an epidemic of fraudulent enrollment for financial gain. He is targeting illegal, non-dying patient enrollment and fraudulent billing, pledging to revoke Medicare billing privileges for bad actors and strengthening oversight to ensure legitimate end-of-life care.
Targeting “Explosive Fraud”:Dr. Oz identified an excessive, sevenfold increase in hospice facilities in LA County, where patients not actually terminally ill are targeted by fraudsters, often exploiting Medicare.
“Boots on the Ground” Investigation: Dr. Oz visited California and Nevada to investigate suspicious hospice operations and meet with law enforcement, targeting what he calls a “perverse scheme”.
Federal Action and Revalidation: He has ordered 50 states to revalidate high-risk Medicaid providers and threatened to suspend Medicare payments to complicit hospice operators.
Says we have an obligation to cater to the attempted assassin. We will provide you what is needed to make you comfortable in the Iron Bar. Let us tell you that this POS does not deserve sympathy, what he deserves is to be found guilty and given the electric chair.
Judge Zia Faruqui: 5 things on US judge facing backlash for apology to Cole Tomas Allen
Judge Zia Faruqui a member of the Capitol Outreach Muslim Bar Association, is facing backlash after he apologized to White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooter Cole Tomas Allen, for the treatment he got in jail.
Judge Zia Faruqui is facing backlash after he apologized to White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooter Cole Tomas Allen, for the treatment he got in jail.
Allen has been accused of attempting to assassinate President Donald Trump. Faruqui was apologizing for the ‘legally deficient’ treatment he got, which included being placed on suicide watch, being separated from other inmates, and being denied access to a Bible.
“Whatever you’ve been through, I apologize,” he said, adding, “Right now, it’s not working. It’s insufficient. I think it’s legally deficient.”
Faruqui’s statement drew backlash from many online. Jeanine Pirro, United States attorney for the District of Columbia, wrote on X “Welcome to Washington, DC, where U.S. Magistrate Judge Faruqui believes a defendant armed to the teeth and attempting to assassinate the president is entitled to preferential treatment in his confinement compared to every other defendant.”
Trump’s clock is ticking;oblivion waits for the mullahs of Iran. They know what we can accomplish. This time it is not a bluff, but a full scale decimation of the IRGC; then a revolt by the people of Iran who have suffered for 49 years. They continue to obfuscate, delay and play word games. Enough is enough, the time to present a plan for ending the war is now.
The word in their cave is Allahu Akbar, for they know that the time has come. Their choices are few, like one; get rid of their ambitions to bomb Israel an the United States into oblivion, or total destruction of their war capability awaits them if a deal is not made. Mr. Bunker Buster’s fuse is ignited.
t has been 60 days since the Iran war began, which means Friday is a legal deadline for the Trump administration to seek congressional authorization. But the White House informed Congress that it didn’t need approval because the war had been “terminated” during the current ceasefire. Nick Schifrin joins Amna Nawaz with the latest developments.

The 3rd assassination has failed, the second assassination failed, the third assassination failed. There will be a fourth, fifth and sixth attempts – count on it.

EPA chief Lee Zeldin slams ‘uninformed’ Democrat lawmaker who suggested he drink weed killer during heated congressional hearing
EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin slammed Rep. Rosa DeLauro for being “uninformed” Monday after the Connecticut Democrat completely lost it and suggested he drink weed killer during a heated congressional budget hearing.
DeLauro, the purple-haired ranking member of the House Appropriations Committee, argued Zeldin’s budget proposal “reads like a climate change denier’s manifesto” as she asked the EPA chief to “justify abandoning [the EPA’s] duty to protect Americans” from climate change.

Former President Barack Obama speaks with students during a visit to Learning Through Play Pre-K with Mayor Zohran Mamdani, in the Bronx in New York, Saturday, April 18, 2026.AP
Barack Obama’s tacky, hyperpartisan post-presidency is welcome insofar as it serves to remind the public of his tacky, hyperpartisan leadership style.
“Although we don’t yet have the details about the motives behind last night’s shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. . . ,” began Obama’s Sunday evening statement about the gunman who showed up in Washington the night before.
Except by the time Obama got around to acknowledging the attack, the entire world knew why Cole Tomas Allen had attempted to storm the ballroom where President Trump and much of his administration were breaking bread with their ancestral enemies in the Fourth Estate.
Follow the latest on the shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner:
“I am no longer willing to permit a pedophile, rapist, and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes,” wrote Allen in his manifesto.
A few lines later, he explained he would murder hotel guests and employees alike if he needed to in order to succeed in assassinating administration officials.
Obama lied about Allen’s motives to elide his side’s slide toward political extremism and violence. And he did so because he is an immensely cynical political operator.
Spin ‘doctor’
Voters ought to be keenly aware of his true identity as the former president hits the campaign trail on behalf of his party in advance of November.
After all, the truth has always taken a backseat to 44’s whims.
Obama lied about Allen’s motives to elide his side’s slide toward political extremism and violence.
To this day, the Affordable Care Act remains the signature legislative achievement of his presidency; it was sold using the slogan, “If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor.”
In 2013, one year after Obama’s re-election, left-leaning PolitiFact named that mantra its lie of the year, tsk-tsking the commander in chief not only for his erroneous claim, but making “matters worse” by falsely insisting he had “been misunderstood all along.”
Insult to injury, then.
A year later, Obama used his bully pulpit to fan the flames of the civil unrest in Ferguson, Mo., where Michael Brown had been shot by Officer Darren Wilson in August.
The race riots that broke out in the immediate aftermath of the incident inflicted tremendous damage on the city, with many local businesses never recovering.

After a grand jury declined to indict Wilson that November, however, Obama insisted it was “understandable” that Americans were “deeply disappointed” or “even angry” with the decision before lecturing local authorities “to show care and restraint in managing peaceful protests that may occur” — as if they hadn’t already.
A dozen buildings were burned to the ground that evening, and 20-year-old DeAndre Joshua was found dead in his car the next day; no one remembers his name.
Just a few short months later, Obama’s own Department of Justice cleared Wilson and debunked the oft-repeated lie that Brown had already surrendered, hands raised above his head, when Wilson shot him.
Oops.
Obama’s commitment to advancing his own narrative at any cost was on display yet again after Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack on Israel.
His initial, three-sentence statement on the deadliest day for Jewry since the Holocaust didn’t come until Oct. 9, and was followed up a couple weeks later by an essay devoted almost entirely to scolding Israel while parroting Hamas’ accusations against it.
Where others saw a moment that demanded moral clarity, Obama saw an opportunity to muddy the waters, as is his custom.
Divide & conquer
More recently, the former president has emerged as one of the country’s leading advocates of partisan gerrymandering — for Democrats, of course.
In an exceedingly haughty statement issued last summer, Obama managed to at once claim the moral high ground, condemn Republican gerrymanders, and endorse Gov. Gavin Newsom’s carve-up of California.
Then this spring, he threw his support behind Virginia Democrats’ effort to leave purple Old Dominion with just one Republican-leaning congressional district.
He was even featured in an ad on its behalf, in which he accused Republicans of trying “to steal enough seats in Congress to rig the next election.”
As a schoolchild might put it on the playground: I know you are, but what am I?647
Obama has eschewed the honorable, apolitical post-presidential path taken by George W. Bush for the gauche, self-serving one he trods now because an old dog can’t learn new tricks.
He routinely poses as unifier, asserts his own moral authority and then proceeds to speak with reckless disregard for the facts to destructive effect.
And no prospective victim of his mendacious brand of politics — not patients, or Jews, or democracy, or the truth — is too sympathetic to dissuade him from continuing to practice it.
Once again, Obama, the guy who started the anti-White hate has sprouted diarrhea from d’mout. “It could be my son” speaking about the punk who was casing a neighborhood. Then he came to the defense of Smellot, another perp who set up a prearranged mugging and the thief, Michael Brown who lifted smokes from a bodega. And don’t forget the sit down with police officer Crowley in the Louis Gates affair. But that is not all he sprouted trash regarding George Floyd. To summarize, Obama inserts his tongue in the wrong place at the wrong time. Now we find Obama, once again, defending a potential assassin if was not for the Secret Service stopping him in his tracks.
Former President Barack Obama said the motive behind the shooting outside the White House Correspondents’ Dinner remains unclear, even as investigators review writings from the suspect outlining plans to target President Donald Trump and members of his administration.
Obama’s statement on X focused first on the lack of confirmed details about what drove the attack before condemning violence more broadly and praising the Secret Service.
“Although we don’t yet have the details about the motives behind last night’s shooting at the White House Correspondents Dinner, it’s incumbent upon all us to reject the idea that violence has any place in our democracy,” Obama wrote on X. “It’s also a sobering reminder of the courage and sacrifice that U.S. Secret Service Agents show every day.

Charlie Kirk shot dead in Utah. The Turning Point founder assassinated by a liberal vigilante.Of course the criminal left renounces violence but they condone it when it becomes politically necessary. We know that, under their breath, they are congratulating the shooter.
Are Hearts go out to Charlie Kirk’s family. Charlie was a soldier in this war. One who gallantly spoke for Democracy and upholding the Constitution. Charlie was a true American, one who now gave up his Life for Us.
Schumer , Waters , Walz have blood on their hands. But we can’t forget Biden who let in 20 Million criminals into the United States. We are under attack by the other side. If you are White, danger follows you wherever you are. It is important for you to look overyour shoulder, be vigilant and armed. your life is at stake.
Shooter in custody.PossibleLone wolf caused mayhem by breaking through annual Correspondences Club dinner, foiled by theMen in Black.They acted quickly, with precision, and purpose. Most likley this was an attempt on the life of the President of the United States.
The man accused of opening fire at the Washington Hilton Hotel during the White House Correspondents’ Dinner has been identified as Cole Allen, 31, a computer scientist from Torrance, California who went from designing first-person shooter games to becoming an alleged shooter himself.
According to his LinkedIn profile and online records, Allen’s life and career trace an accomplished path as a computer scientist, engineer and independent game developer, even building a shooter role-playing game called “First Law.”
In September 2013, according to his online profile, he enrolled in the highly competitive California Institute of Technology, known as CalTech, to pursue a BS in mechanical engineering, graduating in 2017. CalTech confirmed to Fox News Digital that a student named Cole Allen graduated from the school in 2017.

First of alll, when we want to listen to the Muslim Brotherhood Lap Dog we will pay for it, otherwise this troublemaker if brewing a hateful rhetoricc that can be a cause for action against him. Turkish Street wants him to shut the fkuc up. His popularity is imploding faster than a Russian satelite. This Turkish dog’s approval rating falling below 40% and roughly 55–67% of Turks expressing a negative opinion or opposing his reelection.
Turkey doesn’t have clean hands, Turkey invaded Cyprus, an illegal takeover of the half of the island. Add to that the Armenian genocide back in in 1912. Bottom line, Turkey doesn’t have clean hands, they are covered in blood.
Erdogan intensifies rhetoric against Israel, MK calls him a ‘megalomaniacal dictator’
Erdogan’s harsh rhetoric is considered to be part of his ongoing narrative attempting to position Turkey as a staunch defender of Palestinian rights.
ByTOBIAS SIEGALAPRIL 12, 2026 16:55Updated: APRIL 20, 2026 10:50
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Sunday accused Israel of carrying out atrocities in Palestine and Lebanon, sharpening his anti-Israel rhetoric and prompting a combative response from Israeli lawmakers amid rising tensions between Jerusalem and Ankara.
“The blood-stained genocide network continues to kill innocent children, women, and civilians without any rule or principle, ignoring all kinds of human values,” Erdogan alleged while addressing the International Asia-Political Parties Conference in Istanbul.
“Despite the ceasefire, Israel has forced 1.2 million Lebanese to leave their homes due to attacks on civilian settlements,” Erdogan said, despite both Israel and the United States rejecting claims of Lebanon being included in the current ceasefire with Iran. Erdogan went on to describe Israeli actions as “barbaric,” while citing a controversial law recently passed by the Knesset to approve death penalties against terrorists, which the Turkish leader said was meant “only for Palestinian prisoners.”

Israeli minister warns of cutting ties with Ankara
Responding to his comments, Heritage Minister Amichai Eliyahu (Otzma Yehudit) sharply condemned Erdogan’s remarks and moral high ground and accused the Turkish leader of hypocrisy, noting Turkey’s history of territorial aggression in Cyprus and its treatment of minorities, particularly the Kurds.

“Turkey, which conquered Northern Cyprus and controls Kurdish territories in the east, dares to lecture us on morality. Turkey, which built its economy on the Armenian Genocide, dares to accuse us of genocide. Turkey, which enforces Islamization by force, dares to speak about human rights,” Eliyahu said in a statement.
“The hypocritical Erdogan doesn’t impress anyone with this current circus,” he continued, describing the Turkish president as a “megalomaniacal dictator” with “imperialist ambitions” who sees himself as “an Ottoman Sultan while being no more than a pathetic tyrant of a country with a collapsing economy and a dead democracy.”

Eliyahu’s remarks went further than only criticizing Erdogan, implying that it was time for Israel and Turkey to “close this sad chapter of relations” and vowing to bring a proposal before the Israeli government to sever diplomatic ties with Turkey completely.
In his post, Eliyahu shared what appears to be an AI-edited image depicting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu planting an Israeli flag on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, while Erdogan is shown bending at Netanyahu’s feet, possibly referencing Erdogan’s controversial past statements asserting that Jerusalem belongs to Turkey.
Escalation follows Turkish indictment against Israeli lawmakers
The heated exchange follows a Friday decision by a Turkish court to indict Netanyahu and 35 other Israeli officials, including Defense Minister Israel Katz and National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, for their role in the naval interception of the October 2025 Sumud Gaza flotilla. Istanbul’s chief prosecutor accused those indicted of having been involved in a military operation against civilians in international waters.
The flotilla’s participants, including prominent activists like Greta Thunberg, were detained by Israeli authorities, and the fallout led to Turkey’s decision to issue arrest warrants for Netanyahu and others.
This indictment, which seeks lengthy prison sentences for those involved in the flotilla interception, has escalated tensions. Erdogan’s government claims to be upholding international law by holding Israeli officials accountable, while Israeli officials, including Netanyahu and Katz, have responded by labeling Erdogan as a “paper tiger” and accusing him of hypocrisy and complicity in regional conflicts.
Netanyahu, Katz, and Ben-Gvir all responded to the indictment on Saturday in separate posts on X/Twitter, with Netanyahu accusing Erdogan of having “massacred his own Kurdish citizens” and Ben-Gvir posting, “Erdogan, do you understand English? F*** you.”
Turkey’s Foreign Ministry responded to said posts by accusing Netanyahu of being “the Hitler of our time.”
Editor’s note: An earlier version of this article referenced remarks by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan that were interpreted as suggesting possible Turkish military action against Israel. However, those comments were taken from a speech delivered in 2024, in which Erdogan said Turkey “might” intervene in a manner similar to past operations in Libya and Nagorno-Karabakh.
