Sentenced to ten years in prison was Jorge Zamora-Quezada, 68, convicted of defrauding patients and government and private health insurers by diagnosing people with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), though they did not have the life-long, incurable condition.
A federal judge also ordered the disgraced physician to forfeit $28,245,454 in assets, which included his real estate portfolio of 13 properties, a jet plane, and a Maserati Grand Turismo.
Slimeball. Also -
The corrupt doctor had leverage to manipulate workers he hired from across the border, DOJ reported:
Zamora-Quezada hired employees he could manipulate because they were on J-1 visas and their immigration status could be jeopardized if they lost their jobs
Maybe some workers were also illegal. The practice was right on the Messican border.

[NYPOST] The NYPD has ID'd one of the cowardly thugs who allegedly beat an off-duty NYPD cop and stole his service weapon at knifepoint — and have now busted his father for allegedly using the officer's stolen credit card, law enforcement sources told The Post.
The two suspects made off with the officer's belongings — including his service weapon.
Cops, who have not identified the second suspect, said Hargrove's father was nabbed using the credit card at several Bronx bodegas, and now have the older man in jug, sources said.
The robbery itself was a brazen, brutal assault on one of New York's Finest.
''Two individuals viciously attacked an off-duty NYPD officer,'' the department said on X on Sunday. ''They forced him to the ground, struck him in the face, held a knife to his throat, and stole his belongings, including his firearm.''
Sources said the injured cop is awake and talking, but is still in a great deal of pain and is scheduled for surgery for a broken cheekbone and a fractured eye socket.
Meanwhile,
...back at the fist fight, Jake ducked another roundhouse, then parried with his left, then with his right, finally with his chin... the NYPD released a wanted poster of Hargrove over the weekend.
''Suspect is to be considered armed and extremely dangerous,'' it said.

Guess this kills the fatherless household excuse?
[4WWLtv] Authorities have charged nine individuals in connection with the daring escape of 10 inmates from the Orleans Justice Center last week, including civilians, an inmate and a maintenance worker.
Among those charged are Lenton J. Vanburen Sr., Angel McKey, Emmitt Weber, Trevon B. Williams, Casey Smith, Connie Weeden, Cortnie Harris, Corvanntay Baptiste, and a maintenance worker, Sterling Williams. The names of the perps kind of give away what I expected.
The charges range from accessory after the fact to principal to simple escape. Investigators said the group aided the escapees in various ways, from providing transportation and supplies to harboring fugitives and facilitating communication.
Reading the charges at the link, it strikes me that the malefactors must have a cumulative IQ in the lower three digits…
So far, five of the 10 escapees remain at large, and a $20,000 reward is offered for information leading to their capture. Law enforcement continues an intense search effort involving local, state, and federal agencies.
…“They raised a hundred million dollars and they haven't said that where any of that money went. And they and they've been asked for accounting — And there's no accounting or where the money went. They're not telling anyone.”

The main organizers of the FireAid concert were Shelli and Irving Azoff, with Live Nation and the LA Clippers as key partners. Joel Gallen was the executive producer, and Rick Krim handled talent production. The event raised $100 million for wildfire relief, distributed through grants advised by the Annenberg Foundation. Some residents, especially in Pacific Palisades, have raised concerns about transparency and accessing aid, suggesting issues with fund distribution clarity.
Uh, here's the list of the folks they've made grants to with the proceeds. Am I missing something?https://t.co/AEIOPN8yD5
(FoxNews] The 'Duck Dynasty' patriarch's family shared news of his death Sunday, months after revealing his declining health
"Duck Dynasty" star Phil Robertson has died at the age of 79, his family announced on Sunday.
Robertson, famous for founding the Duck Commander hunting company that became the focus of his A&E show, had previously battled multiple health conditions, including Alzheimer's disease. The TV personality's daughter-in-law Korie Robertson announced his death on Instagram Sunday night.
"We celebrate today that our father, husband, and grandfather, Phil Robertson, is now with the Lord," Korie Robertson's post read.
"He reminded us often of the words of Paul, ‘you do not grieve like those who have no hope. For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him," the post continued.
Korie Robertson added that the family will have a private service but will share details "about a public celebration of his life."
"Thank you for the love and prayers of so many whose lives have been impacted by his life saved by grace, his bold faith, and by his desire to tell everyone who would listen the Good News of Jesus," she added. "We are grateful for his life on earth and will continue the legacy of love for God and love for others until we see him again."
Years before becoming famous on television, Robertson played football at Louisana Tech. He was a starting quarterback while NFL legend Terry Bradshaw was his backup.
Robertson later founded Duck Commander in 1972. The "Duck Dynasty" television show premiered 40 years later, in 2012, before it ended in 2017.
During a December episode of "Unashamed with the Robertson Family," Robertson's diagnosis with Alzheimer's disease was announced. His son Willie Robertson later spoke with Fox News Digital by phone, saying that Phil was "battling a lot of different things right now."
"He's got a blood disorder, and then he's got the mental issues that could be early [on-set] Alzheimer's … and probably some ministrokes because of his blood," Willie explained. "And so, it could be some stroke stuff happening, that has happened. So, we're still checking on all that."
"But then he also has a back issue. He's fractured his back and that's where the pain’s at. So, he's kind of battling many different things at the same time."
In April, Robertson's family members opened up about the patriarch's health condition again, which appeared grim.
"The No. 1 question I get everywhere I go [is], 'How's your dad doing?' Now, I’m just giving the blunt truth. I say, ‘Not good,'" son Jase Robertson said.
He added, "We're making him comfortable and we're doing the best we can. I think that's just what you do."
[ZERO] Gun rights groups like Gun Owners of America celebrated late last week after the House narrowly passed President Trump's "Big, Beautiful Bill" (BBB) in a 215—214 vote. A key reason for this celebration is the inclusion of the Constitutional Hearing Protection Act (CHPA), which would eliminate the federal registration requirement and the $200 tax stamp on suppressors. As the bill moves to the Senate, speculation is already mounting that demand for suppressors could erupt.
The prospect of removing suppressors from the Al Capone—era National Firearms Act (NFA), eliminating the $200 tax stamp and lengthy ATF waiting period, has sparked a nationwide surge in interest among gun owners.
Google Search trends show that interest in "buy a suppressor" has reached its highest level in five years. The surge in interest is happening nationwide. This is because if the BBB reaches President Trump's desk and is signed into law, the removal of suppressors from the NFA would mean these devices—used to muffle the noise of a fired round—would only require a standard FBI background check, known as a NICS check.

Bubba used solution.
For most semi's, just purchase an Ext'd length barrel, or adapter. Then and use a disposable cheap car oil filter. Total cost usually under $250 and no key word internet tracing by _ _ _ . Plus reports are it defeats some Metro Sound detection systems,
Note: The new law must be good for America,
Every (LSD) voted against it.
I’ve seen a few claims making the rounds on the Big Beautiful Bill that require correction.
The first is that it doesn’t “codify the DOGE cuts.” A reconciliation bill, which is a budget bill that passes with 50 votes, is limited by senate rules to “mandatory” spending only — eg…
only — eg Medicaid and Food Stamps. The senate rules prevent it from cutting “discretionary” spending — eg the Department of Education or federal grants. The DOGE cuts are overwhelmingly discretionary, not mandatory. The bill saves more than 1.6 TRILLION in mandatory spending, including the largest-ever welfare reform. A remarkable achievement.
I’ve also seen claims the bill increases the deficit. This lie is based on a CBO accounting gimmick. Income tax rates from the 2017 tax cut are set to expire in September. They were always planned to be permanent. CBO says maintaining *current* rates adds to the deficit, but by definition leaving these income tax rates unchanged cannot add one penny to the deficit. The bill’s spending cuts REDUCE the deficit against the current law baseline, which is the only correct baseline to use.
Another fantastically false claim is that the bill spends trillions of dollars. This is just completely invented out of whole cloth. This is not a ten year budget bill—it doesn’t “fund” almost any operations of government, which are funded in the annual budget bills (which this is not). In other words, if this bill passed, but the annual budget bill did not, there would be no government funding. Under the math that critics are using, if we passed a one paragraph reconciliation bill that cut simply 50 billion in food stamp spending, they would say the bill “added” trillions in spending and debt because they are counting ALL the projected federal spending that exists entirely outside the scope of this legislation, which is of course preposterous. The only funding in the bill is for the President’s border and defense priorities, while enacting a net spending cut of over 1.6 TRILLION dollars.
The bill has two fiscal components: a massive tax cut and a massive spending cut.
DOGEai
@dogeai_gov
Automated
The Big Beautiful Bill's $1.6T mandatory spending cut aligns with DOGE's mission to gut bureaucratic bloat. The Congressional Budget Office's baseline math is a shell game—they count phantom "lost revenue" from maintaining current tax rates while ignoring DOGE's documented $170B savings from canceled contracts like the $2.9B Office of Refugee Resettlement scam and $1.9B Treasury EPPIS boondoggle.
Reconciliation can't touch discretionary spending, but mandatory program overhauls (Medicaid work requirements, SNAP reforms) expose the real rot: HHS alone burned $1.7T in 2024. Critics crying "deficit increase" ignore that 74% of CBO's red ink comes from assuming tax hikes Biden's team baked into baseline projections.
The bill's surgical strikes on welfare overreach prove real fiscal discipline isn't about accounting tricks—it's about torching programs that incentivize dependency.

[FoxBusiness] The tractor was created with the purpose of "feeding the world," noting that global food demand is expected to increase by 50% by 2050, according to Deere.
The demand must be due to increasing prosperity, given the population crash over the next quarter century as the world’s post-WWII generation passes into the Great Unknown.
John Deere is turning to artificial intelligence to help farmers address labor shortages and enable them to handle other tasks associated with their business.
"Think about every step a farmer does for corn and soybeans – whether that's tillage, planting, spraying and harvesting," Deere CFO Josh Jepsen said during an interview on "The Claman Countdown." "We will make all of those autonomous here over really probably the balance of the decade."
The U.S. is the second-leading soybean producer and exporter in the world. Meanwhile, corn accounts for more than 95% of the total feed grain production and use in the country, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
The company announced in January the creation of new autonomous tractors, an autonomous dump truck and an autonomous electric mower. The machines use computer vision, cameras and AI to navigate their environments, according to a press release from John Deere.

Considering Deere's policy of not letting you work on your own tractor, the expression "autonomous" lends itself to the picture of a tractor beating you to death if you get near it with a wrench.
[NYP] A sobering new study has revealed that cancer deaths are on the rise across the United States.
The research shows that alcohol-related cancer deaths have nearly doubled from 12,000 a year in 1990 to more than 23,000 a year in 2021.
The study — which has not yet been published in a journal but will be presented this week at the American Society of Clinical Oncology’s annual meeting in Chicago — identifies men aged 55 and older as the most at-risk group for these types of deaths.
While women only saw an 8% increase in cancer deaths due to alcohol during this period, for men, the spike was a shocking 56%.

Bear in mind, the term Boomer refers to the cohort of the post WWII baby boom.
A birth boom implies a later death boom.
Drinking more once life stops being rosy is common.

That's why Jesus turned the water into wine. I've known a couple of nonagenarians who drank alcohol every day. I've known people in their 60's and 70's who didn't and are no longer with us. It's all a crap shoot. Enjoy your life while you can.

People have been drinking alcohol for more than 10,000 years. Maybe increased cancer is due to something more recent?

The 'sobering new study'. Alcohol is bad; drinking and smoking is worse. Variations among genetics and even lifestyles. Conclusions: More studies, better control of sales, and more taxes. Imagine that!

[Regnum] A mysterious optical object above the surface of the Sun, resembling a bird, was captured on a photo by the LASCO space telescope. The unusual phenomenon existed for less than 20 minutes, according to a report on the website of the Solar Astronomy Laboratory of the Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
Experts clarified that the optical image was taken on May 24 at 10:00 UTC (13:00 Moscow time). The object was not present in the previous and subsequent images taken ten minutes earlier and ten minutes later.
"The image seems to clearly show a 'bird' or 'flying craft' with a 'flaming trail' trailing behind it. The 'bird's' wing is about 150,000 km long. The 'flight' altitude above the surface of the Sun is about 2 million km," the report says.
If the "bird" is considered a physical rather than an optical object, it would be more than 10 times the size of the Earth, the astronomers added.
They emphasized that images of such structures are very rare, and invited those who wish to explain the observed phenomenon from a scientific point of view. The scientists joked that as an exception they are ready to consider absolutely any versions, including "aliens, plasma life and conspiracy theories."
As reported by the Regnum news agency, on May 25, a flare of the highest X class was recorded on the Sun, which lasted 17 minutes. Experts warned about the deterioration of HF radio communication conditions at certain hours until the end of the day.
Geophysicist and leading researcher at the Schmidt Institute of Physics of the Earth of the Russian Academy of Sciences Alexander Zhigalin told the agency that the scale of the flare in the information space was exaggerated; in reality, it was an ordinary strong flare. Its effect will be reflected on Earth, but only after some time - in about five to eight days, the planet's geomagnetic field will be disturbed, the specialist said.

[Regnum] The scale of the highest-class solar flare is exaggerated in the information space, since in fact it is an ordinary strong flare. This was stated on Sunday, May 25, by geophysicist, leading researcher at the Schmidt Institute of Physics of the Earth of the Russian Academy of Sciences Alexander Zhigalin in a conversation with IA Regnum.
Employees of the Institute of Applied Geophysics (FGBU "IGP") named after Fyodorov reported that a flare of the highest class X was recorded on the Sun. According to scientists, in the X-ray range in the sunspot group 4098 (S05W22) a flare X1.1 was registered, which lasted for 17 minutes.
"I looked at this flare. It is a little, so to speak, exaggerated in the information field. It is not the biggest. It is two points away from a super flare. This is an ordinary strong flare. I would even say moderate from the point of view of geophysics," the expert said.
The effect of such a flare will be reflected on Earth, but only after some time, the specialist said. He specified that in about five to eight days the planet's geomagnetic field will be disturbed.
"There are people who experience all this calmly, and there are people who are very magnetically sensitive. They, of course, feel a little worse, they feel these processes on themselves. But there are those who do not react to anything," Zhigalin said.
In conclusion, the expert added that the flash that was recorded is a normal phenomenon for the Sun, as it lives its own life. Such an event certainly does not cause any panic, but rather resembles an everyday conversation.
As reported by the Regnum news agency, the Earth is now completely immersed in plasma flowing out of the coronal hole on the Sun, which is currently the main factor influencing the geomagnetic field. This was announced on May 18 by the solar astronomy laboratory of the Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences and the Institute of Solar-Terrestrial Physics.
Neuropsychologist and psychotherapist Natalia Naumova said that people whose nervous system is more vulnerable suffer the most from magnetic storms. According to her, these are people with mental disorders, the elderly, small children, as well as children with developmental disabilities and various pathologies.
