WOAH 🚨 Real report released from the Federal Reserve finds 30% of the cost of increase in home prices and 20% of rent increases ARE DUE TO ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION
No longer a conspiracy theory. “We just saw a study from the Federal Reserve just last week finding that 30% of the increase in home values across the country in metropolitan areas are due to illegal immigration”
Just think about that, you already can’t afford a home and now they’re 30% more expensive because illegals flooded America under Biden
You already can’t afford rent but you’re paying 20% more because illegals flooded America under Biden
Again, these are increases for the average metro areas from early 2021 to early 2024. Under Biden’s Presidency
The second Democrats gain power this starts back up and rent and homes get even more expensive

Girl accused of murdering parents identified as ‘transgender’ boy: report
The 15-year-old Dutch girl who allegedly stabbed her parents to death suffered from gender confusion, in the latest reported case of ‘transgender’ violence.
A Dutch teenage girl arrested for murdering her parents had a history of gender confusion, to the point of identifying herself as a boy as well as a dog.
The Hungarian Conservative reports that the couple identified so far only as Johan and Mathilda were found stabbed to death in their Meerstad home after their 15-year-old daughter reportedly sent photos of their bodies to classmates using WhatsApp. Police also found the family’s golden retriever with stab wounds, but not killed. (It is also speculated, but not confirmed, that she injured her family’s pet cat on a previous occasion.)
Dutch media interviews with classmates and neighbors paint a picture of a girl long struggling with mental issues. She reportedly wanted to be identified as a boy before deciding to identify as and act like a dog, wearing fake ears and tail as she would “crawl around on all fours and bark while running through the school corridors,” running through her neighborhood late at night, sitting on fences, and hiding in bushes.
Authorities have not yet commented on the girl’s mental state or publicly confirmed a motive, but many horrified observers have suggested the crime is yet another consequence of affirming youth gender confusion rather than addressing the mental issues it signifies, thereby allowing the latter to fester.
“Giving rage-inducing hormones to mentally ill people obviously greatly increases risk of murder and suicide,” tech mogul Elon Musk commented.
A large body of evidence shows that “affirming” gender confusion carries serious harms, especially when done with impressionable children who lack the mental development, emotional maturity, and life experience to consider the long-term ramifications of the decisions being pushed on them, or full knowledge about the long-term effects of life-altering, physically transformative, and often irreversible surgical and chemical procedures.
In 2024, National Health Service (NHS) England’s landmark Cass Review found that “gender medicine” is “built on shaky foundations” and that “[w]hile a considerable amount of research has been published in this field, systematic evidence reviews demonstrated the poor quality of the published studies, meaning there is not a reliable evidence base upon which to make clinical decisions, or for children and their families to make informed choices.”
In April, a study of “all under-23-year-old gender-referred individuals between 1996 and 2019” in Finland (2,083 people) found that those who had gone through “gender transitions” had “markedly higher psychiatric morbidity [other mental health issues] than controls before and after referral, with treatment needs often persisting and even intensifying after medical interventions.”

Internal Documents Show Trump’s “Board of Peace“ Moving to Crush Palestinian Self-Determination
Gaza proposals obtained by Drop Site show Trump’s board attempting to force a Palestinian surrender that Israel could not achieve in war.
Soon after President Donald Trump’s self-congratulatory tour for “ending” the Gaza war last October, replete with ceremonies in which various kings, emirs, and presidents praised him, Israel made clear it had no intention of respecting the terms of the deal. It continued to kill Palestinians on a near daily basis and began limiting the entry of the agreed upon life essentials to the Strip stipulated in the ceasefire agreement.
Nonetheless, Trump pulled off a coup the following month when he got the UN Security Council to endorse his Gaza plan. In an unprecedented move, the council endorsed the deployment of an international force that would not operate under the banner of the UN, but would instead be commanded and controlled by Trump and his private “Board of Peace”—to which states could buy in for $1 billion and receive permanent membership. In the big picture, Trump could wrap the future edicts of his board in the veneer of UN legitimacy.
As Israel steadily expanded its military attacks on Gaza and pushed its occupation forces deeper into the enclave instead of withdrawing and repositioning them as agreed, Hamas officials told Drop Site that they heard nothing from the Board of Peace until March.
Since then, the negotiations over Gaza’s future have been stuck in a diplomatic netherworld. Despite the pomp and circumstance manufactured by the White House after the signing of the deal and Trump’s promise to guarantee it, the U.S. has refused to hold Israel to any of its obligations. While Hamas fulfilled its part of the deal and handed over all of its captives to Israel, both alive and dead, Israel has repeatedly violated nearly every term of the agreement and has killed more than 1,000 Palestinians since the signing of the deal in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt.
The talks that have taken place have overwhelmingly centered on attempts by the board to force through changes never agreed to by Palestinians, and effectively transforming a limited ceasefire agreement into a broader political settlement premised on the disarmament of the Palestinian resistance and the abandonment of its national liberation struggle. In a report to the UN Security Council in May, the board called disarming the Palestinian resistance “the single factor that unlocks every other element of the plan.” The BoP’s proposal, if enacted, would leave Gaza with only a local police force tasked with internal law enforcement and no resistance forces capable of defending Gaza against Israeli occupation or ongoing attacks.
Now, with Western and regional media coverage firmly focused on Iran and the Israeli assault on Lebanon, the current negotiations between Palestinians and the BoP have been almost entirely ignored.
But the Board of Peace is continuing to try to chisel away at any possibility of Palestinian statehood through a 15-point “roadmap” it first presented to Hamas and other Palestinian resistance factions in April. Drop Site News obtained two documents from the latest round of negotiations between the Palestinians and Trump’s board. The first is the full text of the Palestinian negotiators’ proposed amendments to the board’s roadmap for addressing a range of issues, including the demand that Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and their allies submit to total disarmament. The revised document was delivered to the board on June 13. The second document is the response delivered to the Palestinian side last week by Nickolay Mladenov, the BoP’s “High Representative.”
Taken together, the two versions of the roadmap offer detailed insights into the extent to which Trump’s board is trying to erode Palestinian insistence that any long term deal must include a clear path to statehood, that Gaza and the occupied West Bank be treated as a single Palestinian territory, and that the rights of the Palestinian people to resist Israeli occupation and annexation be preserved.
“What we’re seeing is an attempt, in the shadow of a genocide, to dismantle the Palestinian resistance through all of these kinds of preconditions,” said Abdullah Al-Arian, an associate professor of history at Georgetown University in Qatar. “The interpretation of this agreement is in the hands of actors who are, for the most part, beholden to prioritizing Israel’s security.”

District of Arizona Announces Charges Involving Over $1.2 Billion in False or Fraudulent Claims as Part of National Health Care Fraud Takedown
PHOENIX, Ariz. – Today, United States Attorney Timothy Courchaine announced criminal charges against four defendants in connection with alleged schemes to defraud Medicare, Medicaid, and other federal health care programs of over $1.2 billion. The charges filed in federal court are part of the Department of Justice’s 2026 National Health Care Fraud Takedown.
“The billions of dollars of fraud highlighted in today’s announcement should shock and anger every American,” said U.S. Attorney Timothy Courchaine. “We must protect our valuable federal health care programs from exploitation by criminals. The message from the success of this takedown is clear – the United States government will protect taxpayer dollars and will prosecute those who seek to defraud our country.”
The charges announced today by U.S. Attorney Timothy Courchaine are part of a strategically coordinated, nationwide law enforcement action that resulted in charges against 455 defendants, including 90 doctors and other licensed medical professionals, for their alleged participation in health care fraud and opioid abuse schemes involving over $6.5 billion in false claims and significant patient harm, including death. Today’s Takedown represents a new era in federal, state, and international cooperation to combat health care fraud: cases in 56 federal districts and 45 U.S. states and territories, with 50 state Medicaid Fraud Control Units participating, the most in Department history. In addition, unprecedented international cooperation over the two-week Takedown resulted in the apprehension and return to the United States of the following health care fraudsters: one defendant in Kyrenia in connection with an over $3.7 billion scheme; two defendants in Estonia in connection with a previously charged $10.6 billion scheme; and, in the Philippines, one of FBI’s Most Wanted Fraudsters in connection with a previously-charged $1.2 billion telemedicine fraud scheme. The Takedown involves the cutting-edge use of data analytics to target the worst actors; the seizure of over $182 million in cash, luxury vehicles, jewelry, and other assets; and full-spectrum accountability for all criminal actors from doctor’s offices to corporate boardrooms.
Today’s coordinated enforcement action involves a whole-of-government approach, including:
Actions by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to suspend 1,079 providers and revoke billing privileges for 1,403 providers.
48 Civil Monetary Payment settlements amounting to over $73 million, over 1,400 provider exclusions, and 25 actions by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Inspector General (“HHS-OIG”) under the Civil Monetary Penalties Law seeking more than $10 billion in payments to the Medicare Trust Fund from payments that CMS caught and suspended before the funds were paid to the fraudulent providers.
Civil charges against 13 defendants for $14.8 million in health care fraud schemes, as well as civil settlements with 31 defendants totaling $23 million.
928 administrative cases by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) seeking the revocation of authority to handle and/or prescribe controlled substances since October 1, 2025.

5 Individuals and 2 Companies Charged as Part of Department of Justice National Health Care Fraud Takedown
Today, United States Attorney Kyle G. Bumgarner of the Western District of Kentucky announced criminal charges across 4 cases and against 7 defendants in connection with alleged schemes to defraud Medicare and Medicaid. The charges filed in federal court are part of the Department of Justice’s 2026 National Health Care Fraud Takedown. The charges stem from fraudulent billing of Medicaid and Medicare, identity theft, misuse of a DEA number, making false statements relating to health care matters, acquiring and attempting to acquire controlled substances by misrepresentation, fraud, deception, and subterfuge.
United States Attorney Kyle Bumgarner stated, “Today, we announce four separate indictments charging five individuals and two local companies with defrauding the Medicaid and Medicare health programs. Those programs provide vital healthcare coverage to the elderly and the disadvantaged. They are funded by the hard work of the American taxpayer. As alleged in the respective charging documents, these defendants allegedly defrauded those vital healthcare programs, costing millions in loss to the American taxpayer and putting their own profit above the needs of patients.”
“These indictments are the product of President Trump and Vice President Vance’s determination to root out fraud that has plagued our healthcare programs for too long,” said U.S. Attorney Bumgarner. “And, these indictments were only secured because the Commonwealth of Kentucky is fortunate to have well-coordinated federal and state law enforcement agencies focused on achieving a single mission: to identify and hold accountable anyone that steals from the American taxpayer. The United States Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Kentucky is committed to investigating and prosecuting health care fraud and aggressively pursuing restitution from the criminals that have defrauded hardworking American citizens. Congratulations to the law enforcement agencies and Assistant United States Attorneys who have worked diligently to bring these important health care fraud investigations to fruition.”
“This year’s National Health Care Fraud Takedown represents the greatest whole-of-government effort to combat health care fraud in our Nation’s history,” said Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche. “Under the decisive leadership of President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance, the White House Task Force to Eliminate Fraud, and our law enforcement partners, this administration has ushered in a new era of enforcement that will safeguard taxpayer dollars.”
"Every dollar stolen from Kentucky's Medicaid system is a dollar taken from someone in need. Our Office is proud to work with the outstanding U.S. Attorney in the Western District of Kentucky, Kyle Bumgarner and other federal partners in holding fraudsters accountable for stealing your tax dollars," said Attorney General Russell Coleman. "We're laser-focused on investigating and prosecuting those who take advantage of the vital Medicaid program and defraud our Commonwealth."

Israeli Citizen Sentenced for Conspiring to Steal Trade Secret
PHOENIX, Ariz. – Guy Galanti, 48, an Israeli citizen who resided in Scottsdale, Arizona, was sentenced yesterday to time served with three years of supervised release by United States District Judge G. Murray Snow. Galanti was previously charged for Conspiring to Steal a Trade Secret on September 10, 2025, and was arrested the following day. Galanti has been in custody since his arrest. He pleaded guilty to Conspiring to Steal a Trade Secret on May 26, 2026.
Galanti worked as a senior level manager for Green Technology Investments (GTI) in Scottsdale, Arizona. GTI is based in Arizona and is in the business of servicing semiconductor testing machines and selling remanufactured semiconductor testing machines with new functionalities designed by GTI.
Beginning sometime in early January 2025, and continuing to August 2025, Galanti conspired with another individual to steal GTI’s newly created Glass Detect Design, which would allow a semiconductor testing machine to locate microscopic defects on a semiconductor wafer made of glass instead of silicon material. Galanti’s co-conspirator sought to recreate GTI’s new design as he operated a Taiwanese company that directly competed with GTI.
Over the course of several months, Galanti secretly sent photos of GTI’s Glass Detect Design, information, and software, to his co-conspirator in an effort to recreate GTI’s proprietary system. To conceal their interactions, Galanti and his co-conspirator communicated over an encrypted messaging system, deleted emails and transaction data sent from Galanti’s work email, and created fictitious invoices to document the transfer and potential payment of funds to Galanti.

Nine charged in SDTX as part of national health care fraud takedown
HOUSTON – Several people in and around the Houston area as well as a Nevada woman have been indicted in various schemes including illegal drug diversion and attempts to defraud Medicare, Medicaid and TRICARE which involve a total of over $1 billion in alleged fraud, announced Acting U.S. Attorney John G.E. Marck.
The charges include alleged pill mill clinics, fraud involving mental health care as well as allegations of improper wound care treatment on elderly patients and are part of the Department of Justice’s 2026 National Health Care Fraud Takedown.
One case charges Tonya Crowder, 49, Missouri City; Marlene Durham, 55, Humble; and Demetrius Onuaguluchi, 34, Houston; with distribution of a controlled substance and conspiracy to do so in connection with the operation of two pill mill clinics in Houston and a pill mill pharmacy in Conroe. The three allegedly participated in a scheme to unlawfully distribute and dispense controlled substances in exchange for cash to the clinics and the pharmacy. The charges allege Crowder and Durham were the managers of two pill mill clinics that issued prescriptions for over 3.4 million pills to include oxycodone, hydrocodone and carisoprodol. Onuaguluchi was a pharmacist that worked closely with these two clinics and dispensed over 136,000 pills based on prescriptions that Durham and Crowder’s clinics issued, according to the charges. The indictment includes a notice of forfeiture of over $80,000 in cash seized from one clinic and one residence and a property connected to the alleged drug diversion.
In a separate matter, Katy residents Princepaul Agbonlahor and Nekewon Konah, both 51; Ginger Ruffin, 46, Conroe; Stephanie Harris, 37, Pearland; and Takiya Caradine, 33, Houston, are charged with health care fraud and conspiracy to do so as well as false statements relating to a health care matter in connection with a $16 million Medicaid fraud scheme. Agbonlahor was the owner of Lahor Behavioral Services LLC and billed Medicaid for mental health services for minors that did not occur, according to the charges. The indictment alleges Lahor counselors, including Ruffin, Konah, Harris and Caradine, created fake visit notes and falsified their timesheets to cover up Agbonlahor’s fraudulent Medicaid billing.
As part of the enforcement action, the Texas Strike Force also filed charges in the Southern District of Texas against Marizel Yukee, a 49-year-old nurse practitioner from Las Vegas, Nevada, for conspiracy to commit wire fraud and health care fraud, health care fraud, conspiracy to defraud the United States and offering, paying, soliciting and receiving illegal health care kickbacks. She is also charged with transactional money laundering, all in connection with an alleged $906 million scheme to defraud Medicare and TRICARE by billing for medically unnecessary amniotic wound allografts that were procured through illegal kickbacks and bribes. The indictment alleges Yukee, through four mobile wound clinics she owned in four different states, targeted elderly Medicare patients, many of whom were terminally ill in hospice care. The scheme allegedly caused unnecessary and expensive allografts to be applied to these vulnerable patients’ wounds without attempting, completing or confirming conservative wound care treatment. Yukee caused allografts to be applied to infected wounds, to wounds that had already healed and to wounds that were not responding to the allografts, according to the charges. Yukee also allegedly falsified patient medical records to make it appear as though applications of allografts were medically reasonable and necessary and met Medicare requirements. The charges further allege Yukee caused kickbacks to be paid to induce patient referrals and solicited kickbacks in exchange for purchasing allografts. In total, Yukee allegedly caused approximately $906 million in false and fraudulent claims to be billed to Medicare and TRICARE, of which approximately $297 million was paid. Assets valued at approximately $35.2 million were seized as part of this investigation, including $467,000, a $594,000 Ferrari 296 GTS and seven other vehicles, and jewelry including a Bulgari necklace purchased for $865,000.

Foreign National Indicted in Multimillion Dollar Healthcare Fraud Conspiracy
RALEIGH, N.C. – Today, United States Attorney Ellis Boyle announced criminal charges against James Thomas Foley, 45, an Irish citizen residing in Youngsville, North Carolina, in connection with a multimillion-dollar health care fraud conspiracy on Medicare and other health insurance programs involving unnecessary durable medical equipment (DME). The charges filed in federal court are part of the Department of Justice’s 2026 National Health Care Fraud Takedown.
“We will focus on exposing and stopping any scheme to bill Medicare for fake services or products that beneficiaries don’t actually need especially when provided in exchange for illegal kickbacks,” said U.S. Attorney Ellis Boyle. “When fraudsters treat Medicare like a personal ATM, the American taxpayers foot the bill. Our partners will not tolerate this criminal activity. Cheaters. Never. Win.”
The charges against Foley emanate from a scheme to bill Medicare, the Civilian Health and Medical Program of the Department of Veterans Affairs (CHAMPVA), TRICARE, and other insurance programs for medically unnecessary DME. As alleged in the indictment, Foley and others partnered with purported marketing entities which solicited Medicare beneficiaries to accept DME, such as braces and pneumatic compression devices, by illegally waiving copays and deductibles, and pressuring beneficiaries to accept the equipment without verifying that the equipment was medically necessary. The marketing entities sold the beneficiary information and the prefilled orders to Foley and other DME supply companies, who developed and implemented a “doctor chase” model to pressure physicians into signing or altering orders so that they could be billed in full. The DME supply companies owned by or affiliated with Foley allegedly received over $14 million in reimbursements from Medicare alone. Another defendant, Randal Fenton Wood, pleaded guilty in connection with the same conspiracy last year in EDNC. Court documents and information can be found on the website of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina or on Pacer by searching for Case No. 5:25-CR-128-FL.
“Safeguarding the integrity of federal health care programs is central to our mission, and the results of this year’s National Health Care Fraud Takedown reflect the strength of our collective commitment. The cases announced today demonstrate not only the scale, but the seriousness of the misconduct uncovered, ranging from patient harming schemes to multibillion dollar fraud operations,” said Department of Health and Human Services Inspector General T. March Bell. “HHS-OIG will continue to pursue those who engage in such conduct and hold them accountable. I am grateful for the tireless work of our special agents and for the partnership we share with our federal, state, and local law enforcement colleagues as we work together to protect patients and preserve public funds.”
“Safeguarding TRICARE is essential to ensuring that resources remain available for our service members, retirees, and their families,” said Acting Special Agent in Charge Allison Russo of the Department of Defense Office of Inspector General’s Defense Criminal Investigative Service (DCIS) Mid-Atlantic Field Office. “This indictment demonstrates DCIS’s commitment, together with our law‑enforcement partners, to identifying and addressing conduct that threatens the integrity of the Department of War’s health care programs.”
“Healthcare schemes steal taxpayer dollars and divert critical resources away from the veterans who depend on them,” said Inspector General Cheryl L. Mason, Department of Veterans Affairs Office of Inspector General (VA OIG). “The VA OIG will vigorously investigate anyone who seeks to defraud VA programs. We thank the U.S. Attorney’s Office and our law enforcement partners for their efforts in this investigation.”

Senate votes to remove US forces from conflict with Iran
It is the first time the chamber has passed a measure aimed at limiting President Donald Trump’s war powers
The US Senate has, for the first time, passed a resolution directing President Donald Trump to withdraw American forces from hostilities involving Iran.
The Senate voted 50-48 on Tuesday, with four Republicans joining Democrats in support of the measure. The resolution passed the House by a vote of 215-208 earlier this month.
According to AP, the resolution is largely symbolic but reflects growing opposition to the president’s Iran policy.
The vote marked the tenth attempt by Democrats to compel Trump to end US involvement in hostilities in the Middle East. Previous efforts, including one last week, failed to win sufficient support.
“Congress never authorized this failed war, and the president certainly has no authority to continue it indefinitely without our consent, as the Constitution requires,” Gregory Meeks, the top Democrat on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, said after the resolution passed.
A White House official dismissed the vote, telling CNN that the resolution “has no significance” because it “has no force of law” and is not subject to presidential approval.
The resolution was passed as US and Iranian negotiators continued discussions on implementing the memorandum of understanding signed by the two sides on June 17. Some of Trump’s most vocal supporters, including hawkish Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, have expressed concern that the agreement could grant significant concessions to Iran.
“If you don’t have a diplomatic path through the MOU, then you have to go to war, or some other form of coercion,” Graham told CBS last week.
