Which State Is Next In The Medicaid Fraud-O-Rama?

Original Article

Posted By: RockyTCB, 5/8/2026 10:55:31 AM

When the scale of the Medicaid fraud in Minnesota started to emerge, our first thought was that, if it’s that easy to rip off Medicaid, the North Star State can’t be the only place where it’s happening. Turns out we were right, as the Daily Wire’s exposé of massive fraud schemes in Ohio makes clear. Which means there are almost certainly still more to be uncovered. Which leads to the question of why we are learning about this only now. Daily Wire is releasing a five-part series that alleges massive fraud in an Ohio Medicaid program – a state that obtained a waiver so it could reimburse “home healthcare.”

As it’s true with all government tax-funded freebies, there’s always a class of criminals to take advantage by fraud. Even with private charities, the problem is there. There’s always the moochers amongst us.

Is any of this money being recovered or clawed back? If already overseas, their respective govts need to confiscate it and return it to us. No more aid or support in any way until they do

Earlier this week, we editorialized about the Great Green Grift of the climate hustlers who line their own pockets as well as those of their co-conspirators. Today we dig into the science, which has been repeatedly abused, often abandoned and artfully prostituted to support the global warming racket. The United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has long been treated as always having the first and last word on global warming. Google’s artificial intelligence says it’s “widely regarded as the world’s leading authority on climate science, providing essential, peer-reviewed assessments that inform international policy.”

With no relief from high energy costs, ongoing concerns over the simmering U.S.-Iran conflict and a widening political schism among voters, President Donald Trump’s favorability continued to slump in early May, the latest I&I/TIPP Poll shows. As the U.S. nears the midpoint of 2026, can Trump turn around voters’ negative opinions in time to help his party win the 2026 midterm election? Each month, the I&I/TIPP Poll asks a series of questions about the president’s leadership performance, starting with: “Overall, is your opinion of Donald Trump generally favorable, generally unfavorable, or are you not familiar enough to say one way or the other?”

As much as $16 trillion has been spent worldwide to defeat global warming. It could have been twice that and it would never be enough because the climate hustlers need to keep the dollars rolling in to line their own pockets. Now we finally have an Environmental Protection Agency chief who’s exposing the racket. Testifying last week before a Senate committee, EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin told lawmakers that the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund, a $27 billion stash that was created through the Biden administration’s Inflation Reduction Act, is a con. His office found

If there’s a lesson to be learned from the collapse of Spirit Airlines, it is that today’s Democratic Party should never be in charge of anything. Does that seem like a stretch? Not when you consider the facts. Four years ago, Spirit and JetBlue started talking about merging operations. Spirit was struggling to stay afloat, thanks in part to the massive run-up in inflation under President Joe Biden. The merger would have been a lifeline to Spirit and would have ensured low-cost competition survived. But Democrats — led by Sen. Elizabeth Warren — decided that they knew better.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren was not happy when the Senate Banking Committee voted to advance Kevin Warsh’s nomination to lead the Federal Reserve, saying it would amount to a takeover of the Fed by President Donald Trump. No surprise there. For today’s Democrats, everything Trump does is either illegal, a threat to Democracy, or fascistic. But then Warren said that “The Trump economy is in real trouble. Inflation is up, job creation is down. The stink of stagflation is in the air, and President Trump is getting desperate.” Is any of that true?

In a decision that shouldn’t have surprised anyone, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that Democrats can no longer create safe electoral fiefdoms based on race to win elections, calling it “racial gerrymandering.” It’s about time. The ruling essentially “neuters,” as some put it, Section 2 of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. PJ Media scribe Matt Margolis called the decision “one of the most consequential redistricting decisions in a generation.” That’s not hyperbole. And it was long overdue. While still upholding the landmark Voting Rights Act, a 6-3 conservative majority found that a redrawing of Louisiana’s congressional

For more than three decades, it’s been almost invariably accepted in policymaking circles that fossil fuel use has to be reduced and then eliminated altogether if we are to save the planet. But the second Trump administration has restored reason and logic to the energy and environment debate. Every American who enjoys the life-giving benefits of fossil fuels today should be thankful. Monday’s entertaining exchange between Environmental Protection Agency Director Lee Zeldin and Democratic Rep. Rosa DeLauro from Connecticut, who seems to have never been hinged to reality, is a bright spot we’ve needed for some time.

Revelations that the leftist Southern Poverty Law Center had been funding “hard right” extremist groups raise an important question beyond whether or not it was defrauding donors. The question is: If right-wing hate is so prevalent in America, why does the left have to fund it? We’re still learning what it is, exactly, that the SPLC has been up to, but what we’ve learned so far is pretty damning. The group — whose “hate map” holds tremendous sway with the press, politicians, and corporate America — was apparently raising money on the promise that it would stamp out hate groups, then use some

Against our better judgment, we decided to read Cole Allen’s “manifesto,” written before he tried to carry out what officials say was his plot to kill President Donald Trump and various other administration officials. When we did, we were surprised at how ordinary it was. Ordinary in the sense that it sounded like just about any Democrat or TDS sufferer you talk to these days. Allen says he’s “no longer willing to permit a pedophile, rapist, and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes.” Gee, where have we heard language like this before?

Americans have always dreamt of a national come-together moment when all felt unified in purpose and intent. But, as the latest I&I/TIPP Poll shows, unity among America’s many factions and demographics has been elusive since the start of this decade. Each month, the national online I&I/TIPP Poll asks Americans across the nation whether they would say the U.S. is “very united,” “somewhat united,” “somewhat divided,” “very divided,” or simply “not sure.” From this, I&I/TIPP creates a national Unity Index, which allows for comparisons over time. What is it saying?

America’s real insurrection is a long-term project of the country’s Democrats. It appears to have hit some snags, however. Maybe, as their carefully constructed facade begins to crumble, we’ll be able to save our republic after all. The power and influence of the Democratic Party over the past two to three decades has been built on appearances. The legacy media, of course, are committed comrades and make it appear as if today’s party of the left is no different than it was in the days of John F. Kennedy. In truth, though, it is far more radical, blatantly anti-American, and outright corrupt.

Don’t break up because of that Mam! New York leaders are desperately trying to stop billionaire bigwigs from hightailing out of the Big Apple with their cash, businesses and thousands of jobs — as fears mount that Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s policies will accelerate the Empire State’s nation-leading loss of wealth. The splashy one-two punch of Citadel CEO Ken Griffin and Apollo Global Management honcho Marc Rowan pledging to expand outside New York City has been coupled with a silent wave of businesses “quiet quitting” the city over its hostile environment, insiders told The Post.

A Democratic lawmaker is drawing backlash after saying she spoke with foreign ambassadors about getting oil to Cuba despite U.S. sanctions, defending the outreach as "literally our right and responsibility." Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., made the remarks during a recent Seattle briefing following a congressional delegation trip to Cuba, where she discussed the island’s worsening fuel shortages and U.S. policy toward the communist regime. "I was in conversations with the ambassadors from Mexico and some other places … trying to figure out how to get oil there," Jayapal said during the briefing, calling the situation on the island "a crisis beyond imagination."

The Deep State leaked a CIA Iran war dossier to the Washington Post that refutes Trump’s claims that the Iranian Regime’s missiles are mostly decimated. On Wednesday, President Trump sparred with a reporter in the Oval Office during a meeting with UFC fighters. The reporter asked Trump about his decision to pause Project Freedom amid a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. Trump told the reporter that the US military has decimated Iran’s missile capabilities and they probably only have about 18 percent left.

Well, Seattle, like New York, has elected a real extremist as mayor. Katie Wilson, a despicable woman who looks as though she could be Abigail Spanberger’s sister, and as though she uses a broom for transportation, has decided to singlehandedly drive Seattle deeper into liberal hell than it already is. Like Spanberger, Wilson is tough to look at. True, neither is physically attractive, but the major reason for that is the smug, nauseating arrogance that they reek of. Both have stomach-turning smirks that cement their place in the despicable hall of fame. Like Spanberger, Wilson wasted little time instituting the Democrat destruction of the city, and even the liberal rag,

Just weeks before Memorial Day and amid the United States’ 250th anniversary year, a city council member in Lynnwood, Washington, launched into a tirade against the American flag, declaring that the Pride flag is far more relatable to her and suggesting the 27 US flags at Wilcox Park should be replaced. According to the Lynnwood Times, Councilwoman Isabel Mata made the remarks during the May 4 City Council meeting while discussing the city’s flag display policies. “To me, a pride flag is way more relatable than an American flag. I would not raise an American flag at my house because I just, I wouldn't. I wasn't even born here.

Barack Obama appeared on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert Monday night and had the audacity — the actual audacity — to lecture America about presidents misusing the Justice Department. And he did it with a straight face. Obama told Colbert that presidents shouldn't be able to weaponize the DOJ against their enemies. "The White House shouldn't be able to direct the attorney general to go around prosecuting whoever," Obama said. "The idea is that the attorney general is the people's lawyer. It's not the president's consigliere." Just let that sit for a second. The man who appointed Eric Holder as attorney general — the same Eric Holder who publicly called himself

It started with an undeniably creepy, stalky video starring New York City's dashing young communist mayor, Zohran Kwame Mamdani. The mayor posted the video on Tax Day, April 15. In it, he announced the creation of a so-called pied-à-terre tax — a tax on luxury second homes within city limits. That was the commie part of the video; the creepy, stalky part was that he chose to film it in front of a building that houses a penthouse belonging to one individual billionaire. Mamdani called the man out by name — Ken Griffin, founder and co-owner of the Citadel hedge fund and securities empire — and stoked envy by disclosing

The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has classified the hantavirus outbreak as a “Level 3” threat and activated its Emergency Operations Centers, sources told ABC News Thursday. The designation is the lowest level of emergency activation, signifying that the risk to the general public remains low — in line with information given by the World Health Organization earlier Thursday The CDC is actively monitoring the situation, including by activating the Emergency Operations Centers. This typically signals that a designated emergency team has been set up to handle hantavirus, the outlet reported. Epidemiologists, scientists, and physicians may be reassigned to monitor and assist with the disease response.
