Iran has been waging asymmetric war on the US since 1979, so SCROOM!
A network of hundreds of hospices are under investigation for allegedly ripping tens of millions of dollars from taxpayers in Los Angeles Country and across California.
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services is now actively cutting off payments to suspicious operations across Los Angeles, which is home to almost half of America’s end-of-life care providers.
A hospice industry insider provided the California Post with data detailing hundreds of suspicious hospices and home agencies across the state, including addresses where multiple agencies are listed at the same location.
A Post investigation found the addresses include empty storefronts, an auto parts shop and other offices that are unoccupied, some for years. Others don’t appear to exist at all.
...
The Post contacted the California Department of Public Health about the hospice and home health agencies in this article, including whether those locations have been inspected or are under review for potential fraud or violations.
The department confirmed all companies identified by the California Post were still licensed.
However, once they are inspected and receive certification, the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services takes over inspections, they said.
”The CDPH may only conduct federal onsite investigations with approval by CMS.”
Hezbollah continued its long line of very bad decisions late yesterday by inserting itself into the war on Iran. Despite clear warnings from both Lebanon and Israel about the consequences, the Iranian proxy terror network launched missiles at northern Israel. Its leadership probably hoped to alleviate the massive pressure on the regime in Tehran by diverting the IDF's attention.
Very bad decision:QuoteRockets and drones launched from Lebanon set sirens blaring across northern Israel in the early hours of Monday, as the Hezbollah terror group entered the fray to assist its backer, Iran, with its relentless attacks against the Jewish state.
The terror group’s attacks — which it said were in retaliation for the killing of Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei in the opening minutes of the joint Israeli-US assault on Iran on Saturday — were met with an immediate response from Israel, with waves of airstrikes across Lebanon, including multiple strikes in the capital, Beirut, and the Dahiyeh suburb, a Hezbollah stronghold. ...
... The particular wheat I want to talk about is a new strain that could change the tactical and strategic situation quite a bit, and that is the Low-Cost Uncrewed Combat Attack System (LUCAS) kamikaze drones that were deployed for the first time in this conflict with Iran.
Everybody who has talked about these drones has noted the irony of their use, because the base design is a rip-off of the Iranian Shahed drones that Russia has bought and used in Ukraine. The irony is great, of course, but I think they have missed the significance of a few tweaks the US has made to vastly increase the lethality of these drones and make them a game-changer on the battlefield.
...Quote“Costing approximately $35,000 per platform, LUCAS is a low-cost, scalable system that provides cutting-edge capabilities at a fraction of the cost of traditional long-range U.S. systems that can deliver similar effects,” Navy Capt. Tim Hawkins, a CENTCOM spokesperson, told TWZ back in December. “The drone system has an extensive range and the ability to operate beyond line of sight, providing significant capability across CENTCOM’s vast operating area.”...
In addition, the LUCAS design includes features that allow for “autonomous coordination, making them suitable for swarm tactics and network-centric strikes,” a U.S. official told us. As we have explained in detail in the past, the swarming capabilities combined with some of the drones being equipped with Starlink terminals, means extremely advanced cooperative tactics and dynamic targeting are possible, all while keeping humans in the loop.
Integrating Starlink suddenly allows us to create a low-cost drone swarm with a man in the loop, using a resilient and nearly impossible-to-jam system that has a GPS-equivalent location tracking capability, the ability to coordinate, and a person hundreds or thousands of miles away able to direct them in real time.
Should've been named Operation Goodbye Ali.
Someone is going to have to provide some backup for that statement.

In case you haven't seen it yet, the Washington Compost outdid their "austere scholar" praise for al-Baghdadi several years ago with this glowing obit for the Ayatollah:
Disgusting, but predictable.

Good grief, the line between parody and the Pentagon has officially vanished. My initial eye-rolling amusement turned into disgust pretty fast. We’ve reached the point where reality is parodying itself.
