NEW: RFK Jr. says Medicare spending on wound care patches exploded from $200 million in 2019 to $14 billion last year: "It's all stolen."
Bad actors billed Medicare billions by slapping the most expensive skin grafts on elderly and dying patients who didn't need them.
"The doctors who prescribed them would get 6% of the sales cost. And so, they were incentivized to prescribe more expensive products. In Europe, they spend 35 cents a cubic inch. We were spending $135, and that went up to $2,000 a cubic inch."
"So 2019, we were paying $200 million. Last year we spent 14 billion. All stolen. It's all stolen. And we were on track to spend 23 billion this year."
"We put an end to it, and we now have driven that cost down to somewhere around a billion dollars."
In one Arizona case, the owners of two wound care companies pleaded guilty to more than $1.2 billion in fraudulent claims. Medicare paid over $1 million per patient for grafts slapped on elderly patients who didn't need them, many of them dying in hospice.
In June, DOJ charged 11 more defendants over more than $2 billion in allograft claims, including a company accused of issuing sham invoices to inflate what Medicare paid.
It feels like every week I learn a new way people were ripping off taxpayers for billions.

Look at what happened to my HRV!

10: Negotiate Lease or PSA
11: Execute Lease or PSA
12: Engage 3rd party reports (SIR, Phase 1 Environmental, Title Report, ALTA survey, Soils report)
13: Fake like you have patience while you wait 30-60 days for everything to come back
14: Set pre-design meeting with the city and introduce your plan
15: Review all 3rd parties
16: Confirm plan will fit on the site and can be built
17: Pro Forma Check with all fees added
18: Engage A&E team to prepare all items needed for site plan approval and CUP (conditional use permit)
19: Submit for Site Plan and CUP to the city
20: Negotiate with the city that you have met their requirements
21: Get confirmation from the city that they are reviewing
22: Fake like you have patience while you wait 2 weeks - 10 months from them to review
23: Receive comments back and adjust with A&E teams as needed
24: Resubmit to the city
25: Get scheduled for any public hearings attached to the site plan + CUP, typically planning commission and city council
26: Check contract dates to make sure you still have enough time
27: Decide if you are gambling. If you are then start your construction drawings right here.
28: Do a 2nd scrub on title with the survey back to confirm no plotted easements present a problem.
29: Confirm what anchor tenants and / or shopping center owners might need to approve the site plan or building design
30: Draft approvals for approving parties and submit them
31: Start dialoguing with a couple of local GC’s and discuss the scope of project to stress test the hard costs of the pro forma
32: Adjust pro forma with contractor feedback
33: Order all power equipment required for the project
34: Confirm any other long lead time items for the construction and order anything that is 20+ weeks now
35: Go to planning commission and get abused because they don’t like drive thru’s, meanwhile every drive thru in their city is over indexed vs. national sales, because clearly their residents LOVE drive thru’s

44: Receive redlines from Board of Health
45: Turn CD’s back into the city & Board of Health
46: Go to city council. Some former Karen’s, some new Karen’s show up to contest you. You have made 8 of 9 requested changes and city council appreciates you “meeting in the middle,” so they approve you.

48: CD’s are accepted by the building department and Board of Health signs you off
49: Review bids & select GC

Colorectal cancer and non-malignant brain tumors have risen sharply in patients under 50 since the rollout of the COVID shots. The current data might be worse - problem is the @CDCgov won't share it beyond 2023.

People died from the mRNA vaccine and the government covered up those deaths. Physicians were told if they reported adverse events or spoke out, they would be fired - and many were. Big medicine was complicite - as were the individual physicians who went along with all of this.
There still has not been any accountability for the actions of the government and big medicine.
Including those hospital chains that insisted on compliance from their phsyicians - to lie, cover-up and obvuscate mRNA vaccine injury and even death.
Yes. My son died 16 days after his 1st Pfizer shot. Histopathology showed myocarditis, pericarditis and fatal aortic dissection. Spike protein was found in his aorta which decimated the endothelium. No nucleocapsid- he never had covid. He was healthy, no collagen deficiency disorders, no aneurysm, no high blood pressure. His death was a crime and those perpetrating the lie of safe and effective must be brought to justice for reckless endangerment with depraved indifference to human life. His death was not rare- you can’t find what you don’t look for. Had I not done extensive forensic investigations I would never have known the truth. His peer reviewed and published case directly links the vaccine to his death. I will never forgive or forget and will seek justice no matter how long it may take.

$1.6 million dollars in Bitcoin was drained from my account on July 29th in the Cold Card wallet hack.
My Bitcoin was in cold storage. My keys were on a ColdCard device kept in a safety deposit box that had never been connected to the internet.
This part's nerdy, but here's what happened:
Hackers discovered a vulnerability in the part of the hardware wallet code used to create seed phrases.
This allowed them to use AI to brute force guessing seed phrases.
I was at our cottage and heard about the hack today.
"No way this affects me." I thought.
I logged into Wasabi––software that lets me view my bitcoin wallets online.
Right away I saw lines of red transaction–withdrawals–and I knew.
From 9:36pm - 9:43pm on July 29th, every wallet I had had been emptied.
18.25245043 btc gone. That's just over $1.6 million dollars CAD.
Perhaps the hardest part about this is that I did everything right.
I never shared my seed phrase with anybody. My devices never touched the internet. Everything was kept in multiple safes and safety deposit boxes.
None of it mattered. All because the hardware that created the seed phrase originally had one line in their code from 2021 that had a vulnerability.
I'm filing a police report and a report with the Ontario Securities Commission. But I don't expect to recoup anything.
A part of me is trying to make sense of what just happened. Or try to figure out a lesson in it. I'm struggling. $1.6 million is a staggering amount of money to have stolen.
I guess all that I can think about right now is that I'm so damn happy that I'm an entrepreneur and that my earning potential is under my control. Mark my damn words. I'll recover.

After 2.5 years, a local small butcher I’ve been helping get USDA inspection for beef processing has finally been approved 🎉 Restoring more small butcher shops throughout the US is a very important part of decentralizing the food system, where meat processing has been centralized to a few big (often foreign owned) companies.
Just one of the many reasons this small-butcher revival is not happening at a fast pace is how painfully slow the government approval process is. 2.5 years!!! 😂 That not only requires a lot of patience, but also a lot of financial resources and other avenues to remain in business during the waiting period.

Grass-fed beef gets dismissed as expensive. Here is what the price difference actually buys you.
Compared to conventional grain-fed beef, grass-fed contains:
- 2 to 5x more omega-3 fatty acids
- Higher levels of conjugated linoleic acid, which supports fat metabolism
- More Vitamin E and beta-carotene
- A significantly better omega-6 to omega-3 ratio
The animal's diet becomes your diet. What it ate is what you absorb. Source matters as much as selection.

They ask why I’m the only Republican to vote No on Trump’s spending bills:
He “awarded Pfizer contracts worth roughly $1.24 billion for COVID-19 vaccines for the remainder of fiscal 2026 and fiscal 2027, including hundreds of millions for pediatric doses” thehill.com/opinion/healthca…

Imagine if your doctor prescribed:

- resistance training 3x a week
- 8 hours of sleep
- more protein
- morning sunlight
How many chronic diseases could we prevent??
