The Deep State's favorite piggy bank just got raided, and the numbers are absolutely staggering.
The Department of Justice announced Operation Gold Rush this week, charging 324 defendants for stealing a jaw-dropping $14.6 billion from Medicare and Medicaid — money that came straight out of your pocket, Patriots. And guess what? This wasn't some homegrown scam. This was an international criminal enterprise with tentacles stretching from Moscow to Main Street.
Foreign Criminals Running Amok on American Soil
Here's what the feds uncovered: A criminal network operating out of Russia and Eastern Europe systematically purchased dozens of medical supply companies inside the United States. Using the stolen identities of more than one million Americans across all fifty states, these foreign operatives submitted over $10 billion in fraudulent claims.
Let that sink in. While Biden was busy sending billions overseas and leaving our border wide open, foreign criminals were draining our healthcare system dry.
Federal agents intercepted key members of this network at airports and — you guessed it — the U.S.-Mexico border as they tried to flee. Twelve of nineteen named defendants are now in custody, either domestically or abroad awaiting extradition. The names on the indictment read like a who's who of Eastern European organized crime, with nearly every defendant connected to operations in Estonia, Russia, and beyond.
Meanwhile, some guy named Kevin from Brooklyn appears to be the lone American fall guy. Convenient, isn't it?
California: Ground Zero for Fraud
But here's where it gets really interesting. Dr. Mehmet Oz, now leading the charge at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, turned the spotlight directly on Gavin Newsom's California — and the numbers are absolutely damning.
Los Angeles County alone accounts for nine percent of all home health billing in the entire country, despite having just two percent of national enrollment. That's five times more than expected. How does that happen without massive, systemic fraud?
One doctor — a single physician — billed the government $120 million in a single year, claiming to oversee 1,900 patients. That's physically impossible, folks. It's not medicine. It's theft.
And the hospice industry in LA? It's exploded by 1,500 percent since 2010, while the senior population grew by just forty percent. Dr. Oz found 287 hospice providers crammed into a two-mile radius, operating out of strip malls and unmarked buildings. These aren't healthcare facilities — they're fraud factories.
Newsom on the Clock
Governor Newsom, ever the slick politician, tried to get ahead of the scandal by claiming he's been "fighting fraud for years." Sure, Gavin. And we're supposed to believe the guy who turned San Francisco into a tent city and let LA become a dystopian nightmare suddenly cares about accountability?
Dr. Oz wasn't buying it either. He gave Newsom a hard deadline to produce a comprehensive integrity plan and told him point-blank: start saving American lives instead of enabling criminals.
The clock is ticking, Governor.
Meanwhile, investigative journalist Nick Shirley landed in California and started pulling threads on the homelessness industrial complex. A whistleblower told Benny Johnson that homeless shelters are secretly being used to house illegal aliens. California has spent $24 billion on homelessness — that's $170,000 per person — and the streets still look like a war zone.
This Is What Accountability Looks Like
This is exactly why Americans sent Trump back to the White House. For years, the establishment let foreign criminals, corrupt bureaucrats, and incompetent governors like Newsom loot the American taxpayer with impunity. The mainstream media looked the other way. The Biden DOJ was too busy prosecuting grandmothers who walked through the Capitol.
But the Trump administration is doing what it promised: draining the swamp, exposing the rot, and holding the corrupt accountable.
Newsom thought he could run out the clock and maybe launch a 2028 presidential bid on a mountain of lies. Now he's got Dr. Oz breathing down his neck and federal investigators crawling all over his state.
The question every American should be asking: If California is this corrupt, how bad is it everywhere else? And more importantly — are you ready to demand answers?
