Knicks’ across-the-board ‘sacrifice’ at heart of everything clicking during NBA Finals run
It’s what coach Mike Brown believes makes this Knicks team most similar to the four championship teams he was part of as an assistant coach.

The billionaire-socialist alliance matters. Los Angeles politics is increasingly becoming a luxury ideological project financed by wealthy elites insulated from the policies they promote.

A hospice fraud problem is spiraling out of control in California.There have already been several investigations into the problem, both from federal agencies and independent journalists who have exposed sprawling complexes and buildings all focused on the same thing.'Nobody there in person. Nobody answering the phones.'Diagnosis: FraudAn April, a Los Angeles Times report identified a "well-known" building housing 89 licensed hospices. This reportedly included a hospice operator charged with six felony counts who allegedly illegally took $2.5 million from the federal government by using collective signatures of retirees to enroll them in hospice. The two-story building in the Van Nuys area of L.A. billed more than $38 million to Medicare in 2023 in total, the report stated, and the same building was the basis for YouTuber Danny Mullen's recent video.Mullen, along with podcast co-host and fellow comedian Leo Dottavio, visited the building to find it nearly vacant, save for people operating unrelated businesses."A lot of these hospice businesses had numbers on the door promising 24-hour on-call customer service. So, we rang them up," Mullen said in the video. "Nobody there in person. Nobody answering the phones."RELATED: How a California crook committed $178 million worth of health care fraud — in just one year - YouTube 'Relyable' sourcesMost of their calls went to voicemail, some of the numbers had no inbox set up, and some were no longer in service, but one business that misspelled "reliable" as "relyable" did answer the phone.The man who answered, whose number was allegedly listed on the business' door, told Mullen and Dottavio, "I don't know what you're talking about," and also that he was "not interested" in taking on a hospice patient."Whose hospice, man?" he added, before later calling back to tell the content creators, "I think you called the wrong number."The man later called back a second time, asking who gave them his number."F**k you, man," the voice is heard telling Dottavio, despite Dottavio informing him the number was listed in public.RELATED: The Trump administration is cracking down on fraud Nobody homeIn January, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz reported that California could be worse than Minnesota when it comes to fraud. Oz said that hospice fraud in the state is not only related to mafia and gang activity, but also involves human trafficking.In March, YouTuber Nick Shirley investigated a plethora of businesses, including an entire complex, relating to possible hospice fraud. Shirley knocked on the doors of multiple businesses that appeared to be vacant. The same goes for Mullen and Dottavio; none of the alleged hospice businesses they visited at the aforementioned building were occupied at the time.One man told the duo, "No one is here today," but did not seem to provide a reason as to why the vast majority of the building was empty.Like Blaze News?

President Donald Trump had his third hospital visit in 13 months on Tuesday – purportedly for a medical and dental checkup – but despite declaring himself to be in "perfect" health after the exam, prominent physician Vin Gupta flagged a telling omission in the president's lab results on Wednesday that raised questions about his condition.“What we see with our own eyes is difficult to ignore: his day-to-day performance as president, and often he’s falling asleep at these major Oval Office events,” Gupta, who frequently appears on MS NOW as a medical analyst, said in a video published Wednesday by Zeteo. “He seems like he has a lot of daytime somnolence.”With his 80th birthday approaching next month, Trump is the oldest living president in U.S. history, and as such, has faced growing scrutiny surrounding his physical and cognitive health. In recent months, onlookers have observed Trump with swollen ankles, bruising on his hands, a rash on his neck and appearing to doze off during meetings.The White House has provided a number of explanations for the president’s various symptoms, but it was its explanation for the president’s swollen ankles that caught Gupta’s attention.“He has pretty noted lower extremity swelling. The White House claims that it’s chronic venous insufficiency, which for our audience, maybe you have a loved one that has had that,” Gupta said. “Is that a sign of aging? Potentially.”What raised concern for Gupta, he explained, was the White House’s claim that Trump’s condition was “chronic,” a condition that is persistent or recurring, and not acute, which is a condition that is severe and sudden.“They said that it was ‘chronic.’ He had three appointments in the last year – it did not note that this was on his problem list,” Gupta said. “And so, is it acute? Did this just happen, and is there a reason for that? Is there a heart issue that could explain that?”Zeteo’s John Harwood, who was interviewing Gupta, asked the physician if Trump’s ankle swelling was consistent with congestive heart failure, a chronic condition in which the heart muscle is too weak to pump blood efficiently.“If this is acute – say, it happened over the last weeks to the last few months, which, based on the readouts from his physicians, one could claim that that’s exactly what’s happening – sure, that could indicate that,” Gupta said.How Bad Is Trump's Health?
