JUST IN 🚨 A Jacksonville "community" pharmacy handed out free cell phones to low income residents, they then used their info to bill $51 MILLION for HIV drugs they NEVER asked for to Medicare and Medicaid

"The defendants set up tents and tables in Jacksonville communities offering people free government-sponsored cell phones — They got people in using these cell phones and then Gholston's company was paid $200 per referral."

"Investigators say Griffin pocketed $14 million… Most of the people who received those expensive HIV medications were surprised and threw them away."

They signed low income residents up for $4,000 per month HIV medication and were able to steal a fortune

Charlie Griffin: Made $14 million
Albert Chester II: Made $5 million
Jonathan Gholston: Made $2 million
Ethelbert Nwanegbo: Took 10% of money laundered

Here’s some more information on this case I looked into

Charlie Griffin III was indicted for health care fraud conspiracy, kickbacks and money laundering. Prosecutors want him to forfeit $14.2M from the fraud and $17.8M from the laundering, plus homes and the nonprofit's headquarters

In her plea deal, nurse practitioner Rashan Jones admitted she wrote prescriptions for people she "had never seen, spoken with, or performed any manner of evaluation on” and was paid about $422,000

Nobody should be paying an income tax in America. If this country can afford this much fraud to be happening at all times then we are being taxed way too much

If “climate action” lowers energy costs, then why does California’s residential electricity prices continue to rise year after year despite more and more solar being added to the grid? And why does California have the most expensive gasoline in the nation despite it being less carbon intensive?

Jensen Huang was ousted as CEO of Nvidia, without due process, after a coordinated media hysteria.

Three Congressmen are now threatening Huang.

They have extensive connections to Anthropic's nonprofit and lobbying networks. Anthropic is a direct rival of Nvidia.

Curious.

[Gina Milan @ginamilan_]

Want to hear about Letitia James’ connection to this whole Jensen Huang and NVIDIA scandal? Let’s start from the top.

Jensen Huang is the CEO of NVIDIA, the company that makes the chips powering most of the AI systems in the world. During Trump’s second term, Huang was all over the White House. He met with the president, advised on AI policy, and even flew to China with him.

Then the New York Times reported that Huang admitted to an affair with a Chinese businesswoman named Alice Huang. She’s an executive at Megaspeed, a company that buys NVIDIA chips. Some U.S. intelligence officials told the Times they believed she was a spy for Beijing.

That story is now being walked back hard. CNN reported that the intelligence does not prove she was a spy. Attorney General Todd Blanche said the DOJ and FBI have reached no conclusions. Officials at the Office of the Director of National Intelligence called the spy label overblown. The CIA isn’t convinced she knowingly sent anything back to Beijing. China, of course, denies it.

So what did NVIDIA do? They hired the law firm Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz to run an “independent” investigation. The lawyer leading it is Joon Kim.

Kim was acting U.S. attorney in Manhattan after Trump fired Preet Bharara. In 2021, Letitia James personally selected him to investigate Andrew Cuomo. That investigation helped force Cuomo out of office. Lawyers at Wachtell also send the overwhelming majority of their political donations to Democrats. Ninety percent or more in recent cycles went to candidates and the party, including Kamala Harris, Amy Klobuchar, Kirsten Gillibrand, and the DNC.

Let me get this straight.

The Trump administration’s own DOJ, FBI, and intelligence officials have said there is no proof Alice Huang was a spy. Yet NVIDIA, whose CEO has been working closely with Trump, just handed its “independent” investigation to a firm whose lead lawyer was handpicked by Letitia James, one of Trump’s most vicious legal enemies. The firm’s lawyers also overwhelmingly fund Democrats.

This is the firm they’re trusting to look into potential Chinese influence around Jensen Huang.

If you think that’s a coincidence, I have a bridge to sell you.

[Overton @overton_news]

He’s going to piss off a lot of Democrats with this one.

Bill Maher ended his show with a scorched-earth monologue taking a flamethrower to the ridiculous lawn signs plastered across “progressive” neighborhoods.

He drew a direct parallel between the “lawn sign people” and the political backlash that helped get President Trump elected.

You know the ones: “No human is illegal,” “Science is real,” “Love is love”...

Maher let them have it with both barrels.

MAHER: “THANK YOU HOUSE! I was about to become a Nazi but then I drove past you!”

“Those are good concepts that most Americans already believe in even if we have different ideas about getting there...but when you need to put it on the lawn...ughhhh.”

“And by the way if women’s rights are human rights...you might want to check out what goes on in your beloved Palestine.”

[Applause]

“And science is real? That’s pretty funny from people still wearing the COVID mask.”

No notes, everything he just said was true.

That was a bang on take from Bill.

[Brivael Le Pogam @brivael]

We blame capitalism and overconsumption for what's happening to the planet. But I think some humans on this Earth do far more damage than even the most excessive consumption ever could.

Steve Jobs said it best: Bill Gates has no taste. Absolutely no taste.

And honestly, I think that sums it up.

Taste isn't about fonts or design. Taste is understanding humans. Knowing what they want, what moves them, what they'll never accept. It's the one thing you can't compute.

Gates never had it. He sees the world as a computer system. Humanity is a network. Populations are nodes. Behavior is code. Find the bug, push the patch, deploy at scale.

It works for Windows. It doesn't work for 8 billion people.

Because when you start from false assumptions about human nature, you end up doing crazy things. Very rationally. Very methodically. With billions of dollars behind you.

Watch him talk about Covid. He's still surprised it "didn't work the way he expected." He thought a pandemic would galvanize everyone. In his model, people would be grateful to be protected. Lockdowns, mandates, passes: optimal patch, rational users, problem solved.

Except humans aren't users. They want to be free. They'll take risk over control. They'll push back the moment they feel managed like a fleet of machines.

Every civilization that lasted understood this. Gates never did.

And the scary part is that the same man, with the same model of humanity, now wants a say in how we govern AI. In how we live with superintelligence. The most important decision of our species, made by someone who still hasn't figured out why people didn't want to be patched.

That's what dangerous looks like. Not malice. A worldview with zero taste and unlimited resources.

The world will be better off the day people like Bill Gates lose their grip on decisions that belong to all of us.

[Eric Daugherty @EricLDaugh]

🚨 WOW! Sec. Sean Duffy just took ZERO BS from this NBC reporter

Q: Trump's been in office for almost 2 years. Why hasn't this been a bigger priority? Republicans control both chambers of Congress!

DUFFY: NBC? Maybe YOU haven't covered the hundred+ press conferences I've done and the president's pushed to GET THE MONEY. Congress has to give it to us! Often times you need a bipartisan vote — I think the question should be from NBC to every MEMBER, do you support actually modernizing, making a state-of-the-art air traffic control system? Every member of Congress should say yes. Every American would tell those members yes. Let them FINISH THE JOB.

Trump already secured $12.5 BILLION for the overhaul in the One Big Beautiful Bill, and Democrats voted against it.

Tonight Duffy asked Congress for $50 BILLION more to finish the job

[The Vigilant Fox 🦊 @VigilantFox]

David Sacks says the big story in the Jensen Huang saga isn’t the alleged spy. It’s that somebody risked jail time to leak a classified memo to The New York Times to take Huang down.

SACKS: “I think it’s pretty clear that there were two ops here... And that second op began when somebody or multiple people leaked a highly classified memo, or the contents of it, to The New York Times. I think it’s really important to understand that that’s a crime.”

“I don’t believe that The New York Times just got this by overhearing people talking about it at a bar. Somebody made the calculated decision that they’re willing to risk going to jail... to let The New York Times know about this story.”

CONTEXT: Leaking classified national security information is a federal felony under the Espionage Act, punishable by up to 10 years in prison per count.

Sacks wants to know who handed The New York Times the memo identifying Alice Huang as a suspected Chinese spy, why they’d risk prison to do it, and why no one is investigating the leak.

[Gunther Eagleman™ @GuntherEagleman]

🚨 LMAO! An NBC reporter just tried to blame Trump for the ground stop, and Sean Duffy SHUT HER DOWN. 

NBC asked why fixing air traffic control hasn't been a priority when Republicans control Congress.

Duffy fired back with "Who are you with?" Then he told her maybe she hasn't covered the "HUNDRED PLUS PRESS CONFERENCES" he's done on this exact issue.

He reminded her that Trump got $12.5 billion for the system in the One Big Beautiful Bill, and NOT ONE DEMOCRAT VOTED FOR IT. 

Duffy says the digital IP centers held up today, and only the old analog ones failed.

NBC should be asking every Democrat why they voted no.

輝達董事會以為把老黃祭天就能結案？美國財政部長 Scott Bessent 剛直接掀桌：想得美。

​Bessent 把話挑明了。外面還在吃老黃私生活八卦的瓜，但他點出真正的深水區：輝達到底有沒有查核過自己的大客戶？

​Megaspeed 直接砸了超過 40 億美元狂掃 AI 晶片，躍升成輝達最大客戶之一。這種明眼人一看就知道是過水的空殼公司，輝達難道連最基本的防漏機制都沒做？外界早就懷疑這批貨��被運進了中國。

​華盛頓現在的態度鐵了心：「一寸都不能讓給中國！」Bessent 踩死底線，這把火必須燒向整個輝達內部，任何經手這筆大單、閉眼放行的人，全都要被追究責任。

​拿創始人當替死鬼就想斷尾求生，董事會這算盤徹底打錯了。

Operation TorNado is the largest interagency takedown of dark web drug vendors and buyers to date, resulting in 354 arrests worldwide, including 132 in the United States.

Through the coordinated effort, this FBI and our partners collectively seized 5.7 metric tons of illicit drugs, including deadly fentanyl, as well as $234 million in cryptocurrency and cash.

This FBI continues to accelerate our Cyber capabilities including through our newly established Cyber Branch, evolving how we operate to meet the dynamic threat landscape presented by the dark web.

The success of the Operation TorNado makes clear that criminals cannot hide behind technology or geography – no matter where you operate, justice will find you.

Thank you to our JCODE and Homeland Security Task Force partners who continue to do elite work defending the homeland.

🚨 BOOM: Richard Blumenthal just got a taste of his own medicine.

He's been sending letters that donors call THREATENING to Americans whose only "crime" was donating to President Trump's White House ballroom.

Now a U.S. Attorney has ordered him to preserve every document and called it what it is: INTIMIDATION.

Blumenthal's response? "I will not be intimidated."

Bro, YOU were the one doing the intimidating. You went after private citizens for writing a check.

This is the same clown who lied for years about serving in Vietnam.

🚨 WOW! Sec. Scott Bessent just MIC DROPPED the Iranian regime 🫳🏻🎤

"I tell the IRGC — which is one of the reasons they want to K*LL ME — if you like your country, congratulations, you can't LEAVE! You can't go to London to see your relatives anymore, you can't go to Paris to see your girlfriends, and you can't go to Geneva to visit your money." 🔥

He means it LITERALLY. In September, Bessent's Treasury sanctioned EVERY REMAINING IRANIAN AIRLINE, 27 of them

Treasury also killed the licenses for overflights and for foreign airlines flying U.S.-made jets into Iran.

The regime used those planes to move weapons for the IRGC.

🚨 Brivael reads the billionaires' minds, episode 480385 🚨

⚠️ Bill Gates already pulled one heist on tech. He's setting up the second one. ⚠️

Rewind to the 90s.

Microsoft owns the PC. Then the internet arrives and threatens the monopoly. So Microsoft bundles Internet Explorer into Windows, strangles Netscape, and locks the door behind it. The phrase that came out of the antitrust case: embrace, extend, extinguish.

In 2000 a federal judge ruled that Microsoft had illegally maintained its monopoly and ordered the company broken up. The breakup was overturned on appeal. The monopoly verdict stood. Microsoft settled in 2001 and kept its empire.

That was the first heist. Use your position to decide who gets to compete.

Now read what he said in 2026, in order.

January. His annual letter says the risk greater than a natural pandemic is a non-government group using open-source AI tools to design a bioweapon. The risk he names is open source, not closed AI. Remember that.

August. A 6,000-word essay, "The turbulent AI era is here." On the current course, he says, there's a very high chance of a net negative outcome. He wants new national AI institutions covering security, jobs, education, taxation and health, plus an international body with elements of nuclear inspections. He wants a tax on AI usage, and even floats sending half of a token tax's revenue to the government. And then this line: if someone had a credible plan to slow down AI globally, he would likely support it.

September, on Meet the Press. AI is "certainly powerful enough to drive events that cause a billion deaths." Self-regulation isn't enough. Law enforcement and politicians need to decide what safeguards and monitoring look like.

Monitoring. Keep that word.

Now connect it.

Step 1: name the catastrophe. A billion deaths. Bioweapons. Mass unemployment. Loss of control.

Step 2: name the culprit. Not the giant labs. Open source, small groups, "non-government" actors. In other words, the people who can't afford a compliance department.

Step 3: name the solution. New agencies, global inspections, monitoring, a tax on every token.

Step 4: ask who writes the rules. It won't be a senator who can't open a PDF. It will be the people in the room: the ones with the lawyers, the foundations, and a direct line to every head of state on earth. And the company he founded is one of the biggest backers of the biggest closed lab.

That's regulatory capture. You stop beating the startup in the market. You make it illegal before it grows up.

I'm not saying Bill Gates wants a catastrophe. I'm saying he has already written the script for the day one happens. When the crisis hits, nobody will debate. They'll pull the text out of the drawer, and his name will be on it.

In the 90s he locked the browser.
In the 2020s he wants to lock the compute.
Same playbook, bigger stakes. This time it isn't your desktop. It's your right to run a model on your own machine.

Remember who pointed at open source first.
