VP Vance Finds Missing Money - Gavin Newsom Has A Lot of Explaining To Do
While California Governor Gavin Newsom attempts to position himself for a national future, the reality of his governance is being laid bare by the federal government. In a massive first strike for the newly formed White House Fraud Task Force, Vice President JD Vance has overseen the arrest of hospice owners in Greater Los Angeles accused of stealing $16 million in taxpayer funds—money originally intended for compassionate, end-of-life care.
The investigation, dubbed "Project Never Say Die," has exposed a "staggering" level of systemic negligence in the Golden State, where thousands of hospice licenses were reportedly issued to unqualified individuals with zero state oversight. As the 2026 Renaissance targets the "paper empires" of the radical left, Newsom is now facing a firestorm of questions regarding how his administration remained "asleep at the switch" while billions vanished.
I. THE "FOREVER" HOSPICE: ST. FRANCIS AND TOPANGA EXPOSED
The federal takedown focused on two specific entities that utilized the most vulnerable members of society as pawns in a Medicare-draining scheme.
St. Francis Palliative Care Hospice
The co-owners of this facility were arrested for a $7 million fraud that involved admitting healthy patients who did not qualify for hospice care. These individuals were exploited for their Medicare benefits, with the owners billing approximately $30,000 per patient. Once the financial benefits were exhausted, the patients were unceremoniously discharged. Investigators uncovered forged medical records and documents used to maintain the flow of taxpayer subsidies.
Topanga Hospice: The Bribe and Bill Scheme
In an even more brazen operation, the owners of Topanga Hospice were arrested for a $8 million scam. This enterprise utilized "marketers" to hunt for seniors who were neither terminally ill nor eligible for care. These seniors were bribed with $600 cash envelopes every month to participate, while the hospice billed the federal government roughly $6,000 per month for each individual.
II. THE STATISTICAL IMPOSSIBILITY: 97% SURVIVAL IN HOSPICE
The most damning evidence in the Vance-led investigation came from the survival rates at these facilities. Nationally, approximately 80% of people admitted to hospice pass away within the first few weeks. However, at the LA facilities under investigation, the math defied nature.
Project Never Say Die
“Almost nobody died,” noted Fox News’ William La Jeunesse. “After eight months, 97 percent were still alive.” This statistical impossibility was a red flag that the Newsom administration ignored but the White House Fraud Task Force caught in what critics are calling a "10-minute investigation." The lack of oversight in California has allowed these "hospices" to operate out of strip malls and unmarked buildings, draining funds meant for the truly terminally ill.
III. NEWSOM’S NEGLIGENT LEGACY: FROM MINNESOTA TO CALIFORNIA
The hospice scandal is only the latest in a series of failures that Governor Newsom must now explain to a skeptical public. From exploding homelessness to the highest gas prices in the country, the Newsom administration has consistently prioritized radical ideology over the basic functions of state government.
The Nick Shirley Connection
Independent journalist Nick Shirley, who famously uncovered massive fraud in Tim Walz’s Minnesota, has recently turned his attention to California. His findings, alongside the federal arrests, suggest a "nexus of corruption" in Democrat-led states where taxpayer-funded subsidies are treated as a collective slush fund for criminal enterprises.
IV. VICTORIOUS AMERICAN ACCOUNTABILITY: THE VANCE MANDATE
Vice President JD Vance’s White House Fraud Task Force is a cornerstone of the 2026 Restoration of Order. By moving aggressively to arrest those who exploit the Medicare system, the administration is fulfilling the Victorious American promise to protect our seniors and our sovereignty.
While Newsom and California Democrats have long claimed their state "doesn't have a fraud problem," the 16 million dollar takedown in Los Angeles says otherwise. As the 119th Congress begins its audit of municipal and state medical licensing, the "asleep at the switch" governance of the last decade is finally meeting the hammer of justice.
CONCLUSION: A DEBT TO THE TAXPAYER
The money stolen by the owners of St. Francis and Topanga was meant for the final days of dying Americans. Instead, it funded a "paper empire" of greed enabled by Gavin Newsom’s total lack of oversight.
As VP Vance and his team continue to "find the missing money," the message to D.C. and Sacramento is clear: The era of the rubber-stamped criminal license is over. In the 2026 Renaissance, we do not let our seniors be bribed or our subsidies be looted. We restore the rule of law, and we hold those "asleep at the switch" accountable.
Nearly 150,000 California Mail Ballots Rejected In Primary
California election officials are examining why nearly 150,000 mail-in ballots were rejected during the state’s June primary, with late-arriving ballots accounting for most of the increase.
The higher rejection rate comes despite years of election law changes designed to make voting more accessible and ensure more ballots are ultimately counted.
According to data compiled by the California Secretary of State’s office, 148,241 mail-in ballots were rejected during the June primary, representing 1.73% of all mail ballots returned.
That marks an increase from the 2024 primary, when 108,982 ballots were rejected, or 1.56% of all mail ballots cast.
The largest reason for rejection was ballots arriving too late to qualify under California law.
State data shows that 93,479 ballots were rejected because they failed to meet the state’s deadline requirements.
California allows mail ballots to arrive up to seven days after Election Day, provided they are postmarked on or before Election Day.
Voting experts believe many of the rejected ballots received postmarks dated after Election Day, making them ineligible to be counted even if they arrived within the seven-day grace period.
Kim Alexander, president of the nonpartisan California Voter Foundation, said the timing of postal processing appears to be a significant concern.
“Ballots rejected due to lateness are caused primarily to being postmarked too late to count, not because they arrived too late to count,” Alexander said.
Election experts have questioned whether recent operational changes within the U.S. Postal Service may be contributing to delayed postmarks.
Earlier this year, a group of mostly Democratic U.S. senators wrote to the Postal Service expressing concern that mail-processing changes could affect ballot handling during federal elections.
Updated Postal Service procedures mean postmarks may reflect when mail is processed at regional facilities rather than when it first enters the mail system.
Because processing centers have been consolidated in some areas, election officials have warned that postmark timing could be affected.
Before the June primary, California election officials encouraged voters to mail ballots as early as possible because of potential postal delays.
The June election also featured a highly competitive race for governor, which some experts believe encouraged many voters to wait until the final days before casting ballots.
In addition to late-arriving ballots, approximately 44,000 ballots were rejected because election officials determined the voter’s signature did not match the signature on file.
Another 8,300 ballots were rejected because the return envelope did not contain a signature.
State records also show that 743 ballots were rejected because those voters had already cast another ballot.
Other rejected ballots involved missing ballots inside return envelopes or multiple ballots submitted in a single envelope.
The highest rejection rate in the state occurred in Tulare County, where 3.52% of returned mail ballots were rejected.
Alpine County and Merced County followed closely, each recording rejection rates of 3.36%.
California has frequently faced criticism for taking weeks to complete vote counting after major elections, largely because state law permits ballots meeting certain requirements to continue arriving after Election Day.
Following the June primary, President Donald Trump again criticized California’s election system, while the Department of Justice opened an investigation into election administration in Los Angeles County.
Election experts emphasize that the increase in rejected ballots should not be interpreted as evidence of widespread voter fraud.
A 2025 report by the Brookings Institution found documented cases of mail ballot fraud remained extremely rare, estimating roughly four cases for every 10 million mail ballots cast, The Associated Press reported.
State officials have not identified evidence of widespread fraud connected to the June primary, but the increase in rejected ballots is expected to receive additional scrutiny as election administrators evaluate whether changes in postal operations, voter behavior or election procedures contributed to the higher rejection rate.
