[Because he committed fraud, Michael] Lonski was excluded from participating in the Medicare program from April 2003 to November 2007… Less than 10 years after he was reinstated to the Medicare program, he began billing for patients who were dead.
UD‘s congress guy/hero, Jamie Raskin, gets it said.
Wow! Four months without shootouts in the street! The city of UD’s birth is really knocking it out of the park.
No better way to do that than point three guns at them and tell them they’re going to die.
Look at ’em scoot!!
No more going outside in crime-ridden Nebraska for me! Too dangerous out there.
No fans allowed to a high school football game in Georgia. Guns keep going off.
According to the SEC, the group reported cash and cash equivalents of $461.7mn for 2022 in the bank accounts of its Nigerian subsidiary, Tingo Mobile, which says it provides farmers in Nigeria with microloans, weather forecasts and an online marketplace. But the US watchdog claims the actual balance was less than $50 for that financial year.
They’re feeding Christian to the lions.
Corrupt, stupid, insane, and YOUR MAN in Tallahassee!
And it was featured today in Garrett Park’s outdoor market.
Somehow reminds UD, who used to snorkel a lot, of coral reefs in Cozumel.
Rats. Just the civil equivalent.

In the event, the jury did not award the women the original rumored amount of damages – around forty million dollars.
It awarded them $148 million.
“[This award sends a message] to any other powerful figure with a platform and an audience who is considering whether they will take the chance to seek profit and fame by assassinating the moral character of ordinary people.”

“This case is what happens when you combine vicious, over-the-top defamation against innocent victims with the single worst legal strategy ever devised by a human mind,” [Elie] Honig said [the day before damages were announced]. The former federal prosecutor broke down Giuliani and his lawyer’s approach to the case, explaining that because they agreed Giuliani was liable and conceded to defamation, he should have gone into the trial expressing remorse in an effort to minimize damages. “Instead, they go in on this damages trial and commit more defamation,” Honig concluded. “They are just asking for a massive verdict and I think we’re gonna see that tomorrow.”
Sixteen percent of its directors have been crooks. During the glory years (2004 – 2011) they went from Rodrigo Rato, soon to start another jail term, to Dominique Strauss Kahn.
Has the IMF ever issued a statement distancing itself from its mafia? UD doesn’t think so. Why not?
Has Berkeley’s Haas School of Business, which long touted Rato’s having graduated from the school, ever issued any kind of statement acknowledging his crimes? Again, UD doesn’t think so. All over the web you can find them praising their Frankenstein. Don’t you think the school should say something official? Or maybe it doesn’t care.
This is a subtle and sensitive examination of the gun suicide epidemic, featuring Bob Owens, whose death was hypertypical.
[A] journalist who was friends with Owens said that many gun owners [like Owens] are afraid to tell doctors about their mental-health struggles, because they worry someone will take their weapons away.
Eh bien. UD’s heart goes out to these silent, lost, sufferers, but their logic’s a bit skewed. Surely they know they are overwhelmingly unlikely to need their twenty firearms for self-defense; surely they know (or at least intuit?) that those guns are far more likely to be used by someone in their home for suicide.
They may even know that the act will be impulsive – one drunk self-hating night; the failure to complete some task or other; a bad fight with your wife. Gun, stage left.
And it wouldn’t even be about taking the weapons away. It would be about temporarily locking them up until a crisis passed. But even that…
What does one say about flagrantly suicidal people who refuse to go to doctors and refuse to put away their guns?
