The grossest healthcare fraud I've read about in a while just ended in a near-10-year prison sentence. Let me walk you through how it actually worked — because the mechanics matter more than the headline.

Jean Jethro Alexandre was an undisclosed co-owner of two Florida "clinics" — CMJ Health Group in Miami Gardens and The Proctor Medical Group in Pompano Beach — both supposedly treating HIV and AIDS patients. He and two co-defendants, Cheyenne Early and Sheree Proctor, ran a conspiracy from July 2021 to February 2025 that billed Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurers for more than $58 million.

Here's the engine of it:

Step 1 — Manufacture patients. Drivers were paid to recruit people off the street, haul them to the clinics, and bribe them with cash, gift cards, food, and rides to accept prescriptions they didn't need. Nurse practitioners on the payroll wrote the scripts — almost all for expensive HIV/AIDS antiretrovirals.

Step 2 — Buy the drugs for pennies. This is the twist. CMJ was registered in the federal 340B Drug Pricing Program. 340B forces drug manufacturers to sell to "covered entities" — clinics and hospitals that serve low-income patients — at deeply discounted prices. The program is supposed to stretch limited dollars so those providers can serve more poor patients.

Step 3 — Sell at full price, pocket the spread. Nine contracted pharmacies bought the discounted 340B drugs on CMJ's behalf, billed insurers at full reimbursement rates, kept a dispensing fee, and kicked the difference back to CMJ. That spread — discounted acquisition cost vs. full insurer reimbursement — is the whole prize.

Step 4 — Destroy the evidence. The drugs were never given to anyone. Per the DOJ filing, the conspirators literally flushed the medications down toilets, then fabricated records showing patients had received them.

A few things from the charging document that didn't make the video:

This wasn't evenly spread. One pharmacy alone (Pharmacy 1) submitted roughly $35.9M in fraudulent claims. A second hit about $17.1M. The rest tail off fast — $2M, $1.6M, then down into the thousands. Two pharmacies clustered most of the damage, which tells you how concentrated these schemes get around a couple of high-volume contract relationships.

The middleman layer is worth naming: every one of those claims ran through a Pharmacy Benefit Manager. The PBM decides what gets paid, processes the claim, pays the pharmacy, and gets reimbursed by the insurer. That's the same opaque plumbing that sits between you and your own prescriptions.

And context on why this is suddenly a political story: 340B has exploded from a niche program into one of the largest drug-discount channels in the country, and the Government Accountability Office and members of Congress have flagged for years that oversight hasn't kept pace. Reps. Diana Harshbarger (a pharmacist) and Morgan Griffith both told Fox the program has "strayed far from its initial intent." The point isn't that 340B is evil — it's that enormous spreads plus weak transparency are an open invitation, and most fraud never gets noticed because nobody pays cash for these drugs. The bill just lands quietly on your premiums.

Alexandre got just under 10 years, owes $14.3M in restitution. He'd already spent the money: a $2.5M coastal mansion, a Bentley Flying Spur, a Mercedes S-Class, a G-Class AMG.

Here's the part that should bother you most: this scheme didn't break the system. It used the system exactly as built. The discounts, the spread, the PBM reimbursement, the lack of cash oversight — none of that is fraud. The only illegal part was that the patients were fake and the drugs got flushed. The financial incentives were sitting right there, working as designed.

We don't play in any of that. Forest Park Pharmacy fired the insurance companies and the PBMs entirely. No spread, no middleman markup, no piggy bank — just transparent cash pricing you can verify yourself.

That’s why the people you argue with have no idea what you’re talking about

Never forget.

[Rand Paul @RandPaul]

For years, I raised alarms about dangerous gain-of-function research being farmed out to foreign countries, and I was told it was a conspiracy theory. Now, declassified documents show that the U.S. funded over 120 biolabs across more than 30 countries. Some of this research was conducted overseas precisely because scientists knew it would face scrutiny on American soil.

I'm calling for a presidential commission of scientists to review all gain-of-function research going forward. We're going lab by lab and pathogen by pathogen until the American people know the full truth.

Let me break it down in a simple way that I’ve been reporting from the beginning.
To invent a vaccine for a disease that didn’t exist, our scientific Einsteins used taxpayer money to partner with communist China to create the dangerous virus in a lab—So that they could create a vaccine for it.
Covid was a result of primarily US funded vaccine research, and that’s the thing they could not let you know.
They stopped at nothing to obfuscate, misdirect, cover their tracks, protect themselves, and controversialize anyone telling the truth.
The scientific establishment and media aided and abetted.
I can think of no more impactful, crimes and violations that have occurred in our lifetime.

On her final day in office, DNI Tulsi Gabbard dropped a major bombshell, releasing additional documents that provide further evidence of Anthony Fauci’s ties to a politicized intelligence apparatus.

The release includes new material related to the lab-leak theory, proving Fauci misled Congress under oath, and official records were destroyed in this cover-up.

For years, @RandPaul has repeatedly referred Fauci to the Department of Justice for criminal investigation.

The question now is whether the DOJ will finally take action or whether Fauci will once again avoid accountability.

Here is our conversation with Senator Rand Paul on the case against Fauci, and whether President Biden’s autopen pardon will protect him from accountability.

@realpeptides How does this work for worn out knees?

Jordan Peterson dropped some quietly brutal advice:

If people aren’t listening to you, stop talking.

Don’t cast pearls before swine. Pull back, watch what they actually do, and save your words for those who value them. Every time you keep offering yourself to people who reject it, you’re devaluing what you have to say.

Your time and energy are limited. Protecting them isn’t rude, it’s wise.

What’s your take, is pulling back from people who don’t listen one of the best life skills someone can learn?

[Walter Kirn @walterkirn]

One of the best I've ever met.

Democrats would never admit it, but they must know making Juneteenth - aka George Floyd Memorial Day - a federal holiday did them no favors.

It sits on the calendar like a monument to Peak Woke, a stick in the eye to anyone who doesn't get fake days off as a government employee.

@profstonge @grok so what is the best way to protect against this?

[Eric Von Zipper @FredColley5]

@profstonge So where is the safe haven? Real estate? Gold? Bitcoin?

Obama's White House smeared U Colorado prof @RogerPielkeJr after he questioned the climate apocalypse.

His speeches were canceled. Colorado closed his research center & put his office in a closet. But he didn’t give up.

How activists tried and FAILED to cancel a good scientist:

Tony Robbins asked his son a deeply philosophical question after reading the entire Bible in five days:

“Do you think God grows?”

He’d watched his son adopt a strict, hellfire version of Christianity and instead of arguing, Tony fasted, read the Old and New Testament cover to cover, and gently challenged him to seek his own direct experience with God rather than someone else’s filtered version.

True spiritual growth often begins when we stop accepting inherited dogma and start wrestling with the divine ourselves, allowing our understanding of God (or truth) to evolve along with us.

Have you ever had a moment where your understanding of God, truth, or meaning fundamentally shifted through personal experience?

Maybe they're investigating you because your finances don't add up? Or because your wife's LLC received the deed to a $9.1 million home a week before the LLC was even created - while you still had your Fair Oaks home? How was that LLC capitalized?

[The Vigilant Fox 🦊 @VigilantFox]

Joe Rogan watches in disbelief as a video reveals America’s “nonprofit” hospitals actually rake in $45,000,000,000 in profit every year.

ROGAN: “Motherf*ckers.”

One CEO at NYU Langone paid himself $15,300,000 a year.

Other CEOs paid themselves $4,500,000 while nurses made about $70,000 a year.

P. DAVIS JONES: “A congressman recently described some nonprofit hospitals as ‘hedge funds with hospital beds,’ and I was like, ‘I bet they are.’”

“The total revenues of nonprofit hospitals in America in 2023 was $1.3 trillion. Nonprofit hospitals were making $45 billion worth of profit.”

“A study that looked at almost 1,500 nonprofit hospitals found that 86% of them provided LITTLE TO NO charity.”

“It goes to executives, these CEOs getting paid about $4.5 million a year. Meanwhile, their nurses make about 70K.”

“Here’s a guy, Robert [Grossman], at a hospital in New York who paid himself $15.3 million a year. Nonprofit hospital.”

[GRANDPA’s FREE ADVICE @GOP_is_Gutless]

🚨 Every dirty rotten Democrat who lied for four straight years needs to rot in prison.

They’re treasonous cockroaches. No other way to see it.

And this little pathological, lying POS cockroach needs to get blasted right in the nose.

No more protecting the swamp.

Full accountability NOW.

INSANE 🚨 Michigan election officials were ordered to destroy public election records just 7 days after certification

Federal law requires preserving records for 22 months

- Nearly 500,000 mismatched votes in Michigan
- 90,000 extra absentee ballots in Michigan
- 22,534 mismatched votes in Fulton County
- Waived signature verification requirement for absentee ballots
- Placeholder voter data used in Fulton County
- Late-night ballot surges with no chain of custody

“That’s a direct violation of U.S. Code Title 52 — This isn’t isolated. It happened in Michigan, Georgia, Arizona, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and it’s still happening”

To give you some context on who’s speaking, this is Patrick Colbeck. He’s a former Michigan State Senator so he knows what he’s talking about

He even served on as Vice Chair of Elections and Government Reform Committee
