Posted: 02 Jun 2016 09:00 PM PDT The gender gap, a reality of American politics since the Roe v. Wade decision almost 50 years ago, is defining this 2016 election. But it is a different sort of gender gap — it originates with male voters, not women. According to Fox News polls, Hillary Clinton is running 14 points ahead among women, down from President Barack Obama's 16 point finish in 2012. But Donald Trump is running 22 points ahead among men, way up from Mitt Romney's 7 point final margin in 2012. The Trump candidacy is founded in this male gender gap. Women are dissenting from the national vote by their usual amount. But it is men who are really voting differently this year. On a cultural level, male voters are alienated by political correctness and the focus on the rights of everybody but men. By contrast, female gender gap issues are somewhat less significant than they once were. While more Americans now describe themselves as pro-choice than pro-life, the underlying data suggests a lack of extreme views on the issue. Almost 30 percent, according to Gallup in May 2016, favor legalizing abortion "in all circumstances" while 19 percent support banning it all the time. The majority, 51 percent, wants it to be legal in only certain circumstances. Meanwhile, dissatisfaction with wage stagnation, income inequality, the loss of manufacturing jobs, and the large amount of illegal immigration has spiraled, catalyzing Trump's surprising march to the nomination.

7 Of Hillary Clinton’s Most DISGUSTING Lies! Posted: 02 Jun 2016 08:30 PM PDT Let's just get straight to it. Hillary Clinton is unapologetic liar. Even when caught red handed, with voice recordings and camera film catching everything, she will still continue in her lies by twisting and altering the facts… Now let's not be fooled. She's horrible at it. She is horrible at just about everything she ventures out to do. She's even horrible at lying! So let's take a peek at some of her lies that have come back to haunt her in this election cycle. We were BROKE?!? – An interview of Hillary sharing Bill and her's financial situation once they exited the White House has her saying that they "came out of the White House not only dead broke, but in debt." Uh. No. No you were not Hillary. Liar. RUN FOR COVER! – I was just reminded of this one the other day, but during the 2008 campaign, Clinton stated adamantly that she and her entourage came under sniper fire in Bosnia during the '90s. She claimed that they had to run for the vehicles…but video shows a calm and quiet landing, and a little girl meeting her and giving a flowers right there on the tarmac. Her excuse once confronted was that she simply "misspoke." Liar. Immigrant Pandering? – Clinton has claimed that ALL her Grandparents were immigrants, trying to pander for the vote. She was called out on it as it was found that only one grandparent was an immigrant. Liar More | |||||||||||||||

Obama: VFW Halls Are Getting the Wrong Story About America Posted: 02 Jun 2016 08:00 PM PDT Conservative media is giving Americans an incorrect view of the economy and racial divisions, President Barack Obama argued during a speech Wednesday in Elkhart, Indiana. "America's economy is not just better than it was eight years ago. It is the strongest, most durable economy in the world," Obama said. As he approaches his final months in office, Obama told the crowd he is concerned about the current direction of politics. "I mean, we have been hearing this story for decades: tales about welfare queens, talking about takers, talking about the '47 percent,'" he said, in reference to Mitt Romney's secretly recorded comments during the 2012 campaign.

Trump Targets Republicans Who Won't Support Him Posted: 02 Jun 2016 07:00 PM PDT Donald Trump has started punishing Republicans who don't back him — sending the clear message to get in line or get out. The latest issue came to a head when he was openly critical of New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez at a recent rally in Albuquerque, the Washington Examiner reports. "The governor has to do a better job," Trump said, the Examiner reports. "She's not doing the job." Martinez had criticized Trump on his immigration policy and, at one point, refused to share a stage with the presumptive Republican presidential nominee. And it didn't get unnoticed by Trump. "You think I'm going to change?" Trump said. "I'm not changing. If I have a Republican that's not on my side, I'm not going to — why should I be particularly nice to the person?"

How Banks, Other Businesses Can Avoid Becoming Cyber-Crime Victims Posted: 02 Jun 2016 04:00 PM PDT Apparently, the heist couldn't have been any simpler if it had been drawn up in the lunch line at an elementary school cafeteria. In February, Bangladesh's central bank saw $81 million disappear out a virtual window. Now it's been revealed that, although the computer hackers used custom-made malware, they probably didn't need to work up a cyber sweat while pulling off their long-distance theft. The bank had no firewalls to defend against intruders and its computers were linked to global-financial networks through second-hand routers that cost $10. "It's stunning that a major institution would leave itself so defenseless in this day and age when everyone should know that cyber criminals are waiting for you to let your guard down," says Gary S. Miliefsky, CEO of SnoopWall (www.snoopwall.com), a company that specializes in cyber security. But he says the episode can serve as a cautionary tale for other banks and any businesses that want to protect themselves against today's cyber versions of Bonnie and Clyde. "Most companies have some vulnerability and it doesn't take a sophisticated attack to cause a security breach," Miliefsky says. "Often on the hackers' end of things, it just takes patience." For example, he says, a cyber criminal can gain access by sending a company an email with an attachment called a Remote Access Trojan, or RAT, that looks like a normal file. All it takes is for an unsuspecting employee to open that file and, voila, security is compromised. That's bad for companies, of course, but it's also bad for consumers, whose bank account, credit card and other private information is at risk. Miliefsky says it's important to go on the offensive. Among his recommendations: • Employers need to train their staffs. Those employees sitting at their computers each day are a company's first line of defense. An errant click on the wrong email is like unlocking the front door, so employees should be made aware of the dangers and told what do about suspicious email. • Companies should routinely update their defenses. Outdated technology and outdated security software make a company's computers vulnerable to attack. It's important that businesses periodically review their IT operations to make sure what worked last year still provides the needed security. • Consumers must take their own safety measures. It would be nice to expect banks and retailers to protect consumer information, but the average person can't count on that. Miliefsky suggests consumers take personal security measures such as frequently changing passwords and deleting any phone apps they don't use. Many apps contain malware that can spy on you. "Most people log onto the internet every day without much thought about how susceptible they are to being hacked," Miliefsky says. "It takes vigilance to protect yourself against cyber criminals who are working hard to figure their way around security measures." About Gary S. Miliefsky Gary S.

3 dead, 3 injured, 6 missing after flood sweeps Army truck Posted: 02 Jun 2016 03:53 PM PDT HOUSTON (AP) Three soldiers were killed and six were missing after an Army truck was washed from a low-water crossing and overturned Thursday in a rain-swollen creek at Fort Hood, the Texas Army post said. The accident happened about 11:30 a.m. Thursday in an area near Cold Springs and Owl Creek, Fort Hood said in a statement. Three soldiers were rescued from the swift water and were in stable condition Thursday afternoon at Coryell Memorial Healthcare System in Gatesville.

1,037 Syrian Refugees Admitted in May: Two Christians, 1,035 Muslims Posted: 02 Jun 2016 03:30 PM PDT (CNSNews.com) – The number of Syrian refugees admitted into the United States jumped to 1,037 during May – an increase of 130 percent over the previous month – but the proportion of Christians among them remains miniscule: two Christians (0.19 percent) compared to 1,035 Muslims. May's figure of 1,037 Syrian refugees brings the total number since the beginning of 2016 to 2,099 – compared to 2,192 for the whole of 2015, according to State Department Refugee Processing Center data. Earlier years since the Syrian civil war began saw much smaller numbers arriving – 20 in 2011 (dated from mid-March); 41 in 2012; 45 in 2013; and 249 in 2014. Of the 2,099 Syrian refugees admitted so far this year, six (0.28 percent) are Christians, 2,043 (97.3 percent) are Sunni Muslims. The remaining 50 are 17 (0.8 percent) Shi'a, 30 (1.4 percent) other Muslims and 10 (0.47 percent) Yazidis. Similar proportions are seen in the number of Syrian refugees having arrived in the U.S. since the start of fiscal year 2016: 2,773 in total, comprising 12 (0.4 percent) Christians, 2,703 (97.4 percent) Sunnis, 17 (0.6 percent) Shi'a, 30 (1.1 percent) other Muslims and 10 (0.3 percent) Yazidis. And since the conflict erupted, of a total of 4,646 Syrian refugees admitted, 60 (1.3 percent) are Christians; 4,422 (95.1 percent) are Sunni Muslims. The remaining 163 include Shi'a, other Muslims, Zoroastrians, Baha'i, Jehovah's Witnesses, Yazidi, and refugees identified as "other religion" or as having "no religion." More | |||||||||||||||
Did America's Enemies Hack Crooked Hillary's Bathroom Server? Posted: 02 Jun 2016 03:00 PM PDT Hillary Clinton claims her illegal email server was secure and no one tried to hack it. The problem for her is her own State Department says she's lying. The Washington Examiner reports: A spokesman for the State Department admitted Wednesday the agency was aware hackers had attempted to breach Hillary Clinton's private server. "I do know there were hack attempts, but none of them were successful," said Mark Toner, State Department spokesman, at an agency briefing. Toner was addressing questions about an inspector general report released to lawmakers earlier Wednesday that highlighted problems with Clinton's private email use. When pressed on the fact that the watchdog report did not actually specify whether attempted cybersecurity breaches were successful, Toner said he "misspoke." Source: AAN | |||||||||||||||
Lawless Obama Defies Federal Court to Help Illegals Posted: 02 Jun 2016 02:30 PM PDT When Barack Obama was running for president, he often decried so-called abuses of power during the Bush years. In office, he seems to have acquired a taste for them: The U.S. Department of Justice is refusing an order from a federal judge to release details of benefits provided to over 100,000 illegal immigrants under President Barack Obama's executive action on immigration. U.S. District Court Judge Andrew S. Hanen ordered the Justice Department to produce a list of individuals who received deportation deferrals from the 2014 DHS directive in a decision made May 19. The decision was made after learning DoJ had not disclosed that approximately 100,000 illegal immigrants had received three-year deferrals from deportation between November 20, 2014 and March 3, 2015. The Justice Department urged Hanen to stay his order in a brief released late Tuesday. The 2014 DHS directive expanded a program that allowed individuals who immigrated illegally to the United States as children to obtain work permits and renewable two-year deferrals from deportation. The 2014 directive expanded this program, allowing the parents of such individuals to obtain work permits. It also increased the deferral period from two years to three. Judge Hanen says the Justice Department assured him the 2014 program would not be implemented until February 2015, affording him time to evaluate the case. However, the federal government began issuing deferrals months earlier, in November 2014. "They knowingly continued to hide this conduct for months and only admitted it once they realized the number of violations exceeded 100,000," Judge Hanen wrote in his order. He also ordered Justice Department attorneys to attend a legal ethics course. The Justice Department is alleging that this request overburdens DHS, and that releasing these records would violate the privacy of those who received benefits(illegally). This is total bunk. First, the information isn't likely to be released right away, but even if it were, the American people have a right to know, even by some more restrictive measure(name redactions, etc.) how their tax dollars are being funneled to foreigners to facilitate and encourage law breaking.

"My name is Angelo Gomez and I have something very clear to say to the liberal media and Hillary Clinton: yes, I'm an American Latino who supports Donald Trump. "Yes, I come from a family rooted in immigrants and I support Donald J. Trump to be the next president of the United States. "I support Donald Trump with every ounce of my being," Gomez says, "for the very reasons that this country, that the Constitution, that this flag behind me was founded upon and that's putting the American people first. That's putting this country first." He adds, "Hillary Clinton is the face of an incompetent politician who has lied to, who has cheated, and who has gotten Americans killed. "If we get this wrong, our country will no longer be here for the future generations," Gomez says. The video shows dozens of Latinos at rallies and around the country supporting Trump.

Route 50 To Get New Traffic Light At Sixty Foot Road Posted: 02 Jun 2016 12:46 PM PDT BERLIN — To enhance safety, the Maryland Department of Transportation's State Highway Administration (SHA) will install a new traffic signal at the US 50 and Sixty Foot Road intersection, in eastern Wicomico County, just west of MD 354 (Powellville Road). In response to requests from the local community, SHA studied the intersection to determine if a signal or other changes would enhance safety. SHA traffic engineers analyzed a variety of factors including sight distance, pedestrian activity, crash history, proximity to schools, daily traffic counts, turning movements, physical geometry of the intersection and seasonal impacts. SHA engineers determined that a signal, along with turn lanes and additional signs, will improve traffic flow and safety through the intersection. SHA announced the decision at a meeting with local elected officials and citizens at the Pittsville Fire Department last night. More | |||||||||||||||

Hooters that served Ofc. Leotta's killer targeted by county Posted: 02 Jun 2016 12:00 PM PDT ROCKVILLE (WUSA9) -- The bar that served Luis Reluzco drinks until his BAC was nearly three times the legal limit on the night he killed Ofc. Noah Leotta could soon lose its liquor license, if Montgomery County gets its way. The county Board of License Commissioners sent a formal letter to the Hooters on Rockville Pike on Tuesday, charging them with "allowing a person to be serve and/or to comsume alcoholic beverages past the point of intoxication" on the night Leotta was killed. Representatives of the bar/restaurant will have to appear at a "show cause" hearing on June 16th. Hooters did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the letter sent by the county. Reluzco pleaded guilty to vehicular manslaughter last month, clearing the way for the county to act against the restaurant. More | |||||||||||||||
IG: EPA Still Blocking Access to Investigations Posted: 02 Jun 2016 11:30 AM PDT The Environmental Protection Agency is still blocking its inspector general from investigating wrongdoing at the agency, according to the government watchdog's semi-annual report to Congress. More than a year after coming under scrutiny for stonewalling an investigation into a senior official accused of sexually harassing over a dozen women, the EPA is still not being cooperative with the inspector general. "In the previous Semiannual Report to Congress, we reported theoretical progress with regard to the longstanding denial of access for the [Office of Inspector General] OIG by the EPA's Office of Homeland Security (OHS) to information sought by the OIG," the report said. "After considerable delay, OHS provided some documents to the OIG but continued to deny access to others." The dispute stems from an investigation into a senior official who was accused of harassing 16 women over a decade. The inspector general had found that other senior EPA officials "likely knew about the sexual harassment, but did nothing for six months." The official retired without punishment the same day he was set to be interviewed by the inspector general. More here | |||||||||||||||
A Letter To The Editor: At risk 14 y.o. Girl Posted: 02 Jun 2016 11:00 AM PDT My name is Robert Bacon and I have assumed temporary guardianship of a 14 year old girl who has not attended school in Wicomico county for almost a year and a half. She was living with her mother along with 4 other adults in a motel room and all the adults seem to have substance abuse problems. I live with her aunt who received her call for help. The child has told me she reached her breaking point when she gave up the bed provided by her mother to the only working adult in the room and was sleeping on the floor to allow this person a bed to sleep in. She said she was woke up around 3 am when someone spilled a full beer on her head and soaked her and her pillow. She said she was crying when she had to shower the alcohol off of her. Her aunt (my girlfriend) and I have taken her into our home and are providing a safe place for her to prosper. Her mother has granted us temporary guardianship and we have been trying to get her back to school. She does not wish to go back to school claiming some violence and harassment issues against her in the Wicomico County school she was attending. Her aunt and I are doing everything we can to get this child the education she needs.We have enroll her in home schooling .The child's father will be getting out of Wicomico County detention center for actions with his own substance abuse problems She is tired of his actions as well. He has been in jail a lot of times times and he has many pages on Maryland case search. The child`s comment on his release is "great, another homecoming, one more person to tell me what to do." I am so proud of this girl and her willingness to do right even under these conditions. She is trying above and beyond what I ever expected. The tough guy I sometimes feel I am has cried many times over this. As a recovering alcoholic myself, I have empathy for this child. I am upset over the fact that Wicomico County schools has allowed this child to be out of school for so long. Her aunt contacted the school and was told the child needed counseling but offered no assistance in the matter. It seems the Board has turned a blind eye to the situations of violence and harassment in the district, refusing to correct the problems and not offering help needed to children that have been affected by it. I am seeking help and advice in this matter and am sending this to many people. | |||||||||||||||

No Search Warrant Needed To Track Cell Phones In Md. Posted: 02 Jun 2016 09:53 AM PDT BALTIMORE (WJZ) — Do police need a warrant to track your cell phone? It's a question that's been at the center of a nationwide debate. After months of controversy, a major decision is made, making the law clear in Maryland. Rick Ritter breaks down the ruling from one of the highest federal courts. The ruling means no search warrant is needed to track your cell phone. Just a court order clears the way for police to obtain your cell phone information if it's needed for an investigation. From a simple call to a text, even just walking around on your phone. It's cell data that's now easier for police to obtain if you're a prime suspect. More | |||||||||||||||

Man’s Cross Country Journey On Horseback Rolls Through Berlin Posted: 02 Jun 2016 09:37 AM PDT BERLIN – "God has a plan. I just try to stay out of the way." That's what Doc Mishler will tell you if you encounter him on one of his cross country treks. The octogenarian has spent more than a decade wandering across the country on horseback, spreading the word of the Lord and advocating for hungry children. "This journey's not about me it's about feeding hungry children," he said. "It's not a way that's lacking it's the will to do it. There's no excuse." Mishler, clad in a red bandanna and cowboy hat, chatted with folks in Berlin Wednesday as he gave his horses a rest in the shade in front of the Berlin library. Those who stopped to say hello were treated to a passionate lecture on the failings of organized religion and the importance of simply feeding the hungry. He directs people interested in his cause to www.churchcommunitiesinternational.org, the website of Bruderhof, an international Christian community. Mishler says his personal journey started in 2002 after reading the book "How Then Shall We Live" and surviving cancer. His first cross-country trek went from Choteau, Montana, to Washington D.C. "by way of California." After sharing his message in the nation's capital, he's continued his efforts to spread the word of God with various trips around the country. More | |||||||||||||||
BREAKING: UCLA Shooter Identified Posted: 02 Jun 2016 09:36 AM PDT Initial press reports suggested that the UCLA shooter was a "six foot white male." The LA Times reports: The gunman who shot and killed a UCLA professor Wednesday has been identified as Mainak Sarkar, a former doctoral student who had accused the victim of stealing his computer code and giving it to someone else, according to Los Angeles police. Sarkar, 38, took his own life after killing William Klug, 39, in a small office in UCLA Engineering Building 4, sources confirmed. The Los Angeles County coroner's office on Thursday did not identify the shooter, although it did confirm the victim's identity Thursday morning. Klug was an associate professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering and had been the target of Sarkar's anger on social media for months. On March 10, Sarkar called the professor a "very sick person" who should not be trusted. "William Klug, UCLA professor is not the kind of person when you think of a professor. He is a very sick person. I urge every new student coming to UCLA to stay away from this guy," Sarkar wrote. "He made me really sick. Your enemy is my enemy. But your friend can do a lot more harm. Be careful about whom you trust." A source called the gunman's accusations "absolutely untrue." "The idea that somebody took his ideas is absolutely psychotic," the university source said. Many are alleging that Sakar is a Muslim, but this has yet to be confirmed. But once again, the media narrative that unhinged, Christian white men bitterly clinging to their guns and religion are running around the country shooting people with machine guns is totally false.

ATV rider stunts pose summer danger on crowded streets Posted: 02 Jun 2016 09:23 AM PDT WASHINGTON — A new Instagram video of an ATV rider, performing dangerous stunts on Pennsylvania Avenue in District Heights, Maryland, and seemingly taunting a nearby police officer, serves as a vivid reminder of an ongoing danger for local drivers. Posted over the weekend, the video shows a male rider on the four-wheel vehicle popping wheelies, cutting off a Prince George's County police cruiser and zooming into Pennsylvania Avenue traffic near Parkland Drive. Urged on by the person recording the video, the rider takes his hands off the handlebars several times. "We did not pursue in this case as the crimes committed do not warrant pursuit according to our departmental policy," said police spokesman Officer Tyler Hunter. The department's "no chase" policy in regards to ATVs and dirt bikes is consistent with most departments in the region. More | |||||||||||||||
Officials Renew Warnings About Teens & Distracted Driving Posted: 02 Jun 2016 09:15 AM PDT BALTIMORE (WJZ) — It's a time on the roadways that's so deadly, it's been called the 100 deadliest days. This is the period that starts on Memorial Day when more young drivers are on the roads and are more likely to be involved in a deadly wreck. Ava-joye Burnett has more on the startling numbers that have officials ringing the alarm about distracted driving. AAA says 60% of teen crashes happen when they lose focus—and the number of wrecks goes up even more in the summer. Seeing a video of distracted driving shows just how quickly things can go wrong. No one in the videos was seriously hurt but they're further proof distracted driving can change a life in a second. "I had to relearn how to read, write, walk, talk—everything," said Liz Marks.

"My office intends to explore every legal option available to us to ensure these funds are made available to the victims of this horrific crime.

This will allow us to hopefully get this project, for the most part, finished by the weekend. Because of the width of the road, flagging operations will not only be less safe, but will not allow for continuous work. We will be closing it between 9:00 am and open it back up by 3:00 pm. This will allow school buses and work commute to get through unaffected. Again, thank you for your tolerance of this situation. | |||||||||||||||
Posted: 02 Jun 2016 08:30 AM PDT Defendants Used Money to Finance a Lavish Lifestyle Florence Bikundi, 53, and her husband, Michael D. Bikundi Sr. 63, of Mitchellville, Maryland, and the owners of Global Healthcare Inc., a home care agency, were sentenced today to prison terms for health care fraud, money laundering, and other charges stemming from a scheme in which they and others defrauded the District of Columbia Medicaid program of over $80 million. The sentences were announced by U.S. Attorney Channing D. Phillips for the District of Columbia; Assistant Director in Charge Paul M. Abbate of the FBI's Washington Field Office; Special Agent in Charge Nicholas DiGiulio of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Inspector General (HHS-OIG), for the region that includes Washington, D.C.; Special Agent in Charge Brian J. Ebert of the U.S. Secret Service's Washington Field Office, and Inspector General Daniel W. Lucas for the District of Columbia (D.C. OIG). The two defendants were found guilty on Nov. 12, 2015 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. The Honorable Chief Judge Beryl A. Howell sentenced Florence Bikundi to 10 years in prison. She sentenced Michael D. Bikundi Sr. to seven years in prison. Following their prison terms, the Bikundis will be placed on three years of supervised release. Judge Howell earlier ordered them to forfeit over $11 million seized from 76 bank accounts; their residence, worth approximately $1 million; $73,000 in cash seized from their residence and five luxury vehicles with a total purchase price of more than $400,000. She also imposed a forfeiture money judgment of $39,989,956 on both defendants. Finally, Judge Howell ordered the defendants to pay $80,620,929 in restitution to D.C. Medicaid. "The investigation of this case exposed a massive health care fraud that cheated the District of Columbia Medicaid program of more than $80 million that could have been spent on people who needed services," said U.S. Attorney Phillips. "Florence and Michael Bikundi enriched themselves for years by operating a rogue home care agency. Hopefully the sentences today will serve as a deterrent to other unscrupulous health care providers who aim to steal the taxpayers' money." "The Bikundis funded their lavish lifestyle by defrauding the District of Columbia's Medicaid program designed to provide for those in need," said Assistant Director in Charge Abbate. "The FBI will continue to pursue criminals who target our health care system in order to protect its integrity and to prevent fraud. I commend the dedicated agents, analysts and prosecutors who worked to bring this case to justice." "It's outrageous that fraudster couple Florence and Michael Bikundi stole millions of Medicaid funds meant to provide home health services to vulnerable patients just to fuel their own lavish lifestyle," said Special Agent in Charge DiGiulio. "But today's prison sentences show the results of our continued work with other law enforcement agencies to crack down on greedy individuals who rip off government health care programs." "Health care fraud and other similar elaborate fraudulent schemes are not victimless crimes," said Special Agent in Charge Ebert. "This type of fraud can have a significant detrimental effect on our nation's financial infrastructure and our local community's economy. The Secret Service will continue to tirelessly pursue justice by investigating and dismantling these types of fraudulent schemes." "I hope this sentence sends a clear message that we will continue to investigate and propose prosecution for anyone who engages in corruption or fraudulent activities against the District government," said Inspector General Lucas. "I applaud the hard work of my D.C. OIG Medicaid Fraud Control Unit (MFCU) staff for bringing this case to its rightful close." Florence Bikundi aka Florence Ngwe and Florence Igwacho, has been in custody since her arrest in February 2014. She was found guilty by the jury of 12 charges: one count of conspiracy to commit health care fraud; one count of conspiracy to commit money laundering, two counts of health care fraud; one count of Medicaid fraud; and seven counts of money laundering. Michael D. Bikundi Sr. was found guilty of 10 charges: one count of conspiracy to commit health care fraud; one count of conspiracy to commit money laundering, one count of health care fraud; and seven counts of money laundering. According to evidence presented at trial, Florence Bikundi, a former nurse and her husband owned Global Healthcare Inc. According to the government's evidence, Florence Bikundi was not entitled to take part in the Medicaid program and fraudulently got approval as a provider. Then, the government's evidence showed, she and her husband led a scheme to bill Medicaid for services that were not fully provided – recruiting others, including family members, into the scam and creating fraudulent paperwork to hide the illegal activity. The D.C. Medicaid program is funded jointly by District of Columbia tax dollars and federal tax dollars. Medicaid provides for home care services to be performed by personal care aides, working for eligible home care agencies. Doctors or advanced practice registered nurses must examine beneficiaries and authorize them to receive these services. The aides are to follow a plan of care and assist Medicaid beneficiaries in performing activities of daily living, such as getting in and out of bed, bathing, dressing, keeping track of medication and so forth. In 1999, Florence Bikundi went by her maiden name of Florence Igwacho. In August 1999, the Virginia Board of Nursing revoked the nursing license of Florence Igwacho. In March 2000, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Inspector General notified Florence Igwacho in writing that she was excluded from participation in Medicare, Medicaid, and all federal health care programs due to the revocation. Florence Bikundi subsequently concealed her past – namely, the Medicaid exclusion and the revocation of her nursing license - when she applied for a Medicaid provider number for Global Healthcare in June 2009 using the name of Florence Bikundi. She also used three forged signatures on her Medicaid provider application. Florence Bikundi married Michael Bikundi in September 2009. From August 2009 through February 2014, Florence and Michael Bikundi used Global HealthCare to carry out a massive fraud, the government's evidence showed. Year after year, the D.C. Medicaid program was billed for personal home health aide services that were not fully provided to Medicaid beneficiaries. Phony time sheets, patient files and employment files were created. Global Healthcare generated increasing amounts of payments as the years continued, going from roughly $1.35 million in 2009 to $14.27 million in 2011 to $27.16 million in 2013. According to the government's evidence, the Bikundis used the proceeds to finance a lavish lifestyle. In just over three years, they spent $1.3 million to purchase and renovate a newly built home. They also used the proceeds for a $140,000 Land Rover, a $120,000 Porsche, a $75,000 Mercedes Benz, a $70,000 Cadillac and a $36,000 BMW. Seven others earlier pleaded guilty to charges in the investigation. They include Florence Bikundi's son, Carlson M. Igwacho, 35, of Bowie, Maryland; Florence Bikundi's two sisters, Irene M. Igwacho, 50, of Bowie, and Berenice W. Igwacho, 31, of Bowie, James Mbide, 55, of Laurel, Maryland; Nicola C. White, 34, of Laurel; Elvis N. Atabe, 57, of Adelphia Maryland, and Melissa A. Williams, 33, of Silver Spring, Maryland. Two others were indicted on charges in the investigation but remain fugitives: Christian S. Asongcha, 39, formerly of Lanham, Maryland, and Atawan Mundu John, 39, formerly of Washington, D.C. In announcing the sentence, U.S. Attorney Phillips, Assistant Director in Charge Abbate, Special Agent in Charge DiGiulio, Special Agent in Charge Ebert and Inspector General Lucas commended the work of those who investigated the case from the FBI's Washington Field Office, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Inspector General and the U.S. Secret Service, as well as a team from the Medicaid Fraud Control Unit of the District of Columbia's Office of the Inspector General that included Director Brent Wolfingbarger; Special Agents Mike Kellam, Sandra Adams, Victor Richardson and Senior Auditor LaShawn Brooks. They also expressed appreciation for the assistance of the District of Columbia's Department of Health Care Finance and other agencies. They commended the work of those who prosecuted the case, including Assistant U.S. Attorneys Lionel A. André, Anthony Saler and Michelle Bradford, of the Office's Fraud and Public Corruption Section. They acknowledged the efforts of Assistant U.S. Attorney Christopher B. Brown of the Asset Forfeiture and Money Laundering Section, who assisted during the forfeiture proceedings and Criminal Investigator Nicole Hinson, also of the U.S. Attorney's Office, who was the prosecution's law enforcement representative during the trial. Finally, they expressed appreciation for the assistance in this case and related investigations that was provided by Chief Arvind K. Lal of the Asset Forfeiture and Money Laundering Section; Assistant U.S. Attorneys Zia Faruqui, Ted Radway, Michael Friedman, Chrisellen Kolb and Michelle Zamarin; Financial Analyst Bryan J. Snitselaar; Deputy U.S. Marshal Wayne Rollock of the U.S. Marshals Service; Paralegal Specialists Toni Donato, Donna Galindo, Krishawn Graham, Tasha Harris, Corinne Kleinman and Kristy Penny; Legal Assistants Angela Lawrence, Jessica McCormick and Christopher Samson; Litigation Support Specialist Ron Royal, and former Forensic Accountant Maria Boodoo. | |||||||||||||||

Safe Memorial Day Weekend Seen in Maryland Posted: 02 Jun 2016 07:00 AM PDT Fewer Boating Accidents; No Fatalities Reported A safety-conscious public and a concerted effort by Maryland Natural Resources Police kept the Memorial Day weekend free of fatalities and with just four reported boat accidents. "We did everything in our power to be visible, to interact, to educate," Natural Resources Police Superintendent Colonel Robert K. "Ken" Ziegler Jr. said. "Our officers spoke with nearly 18,000 boaters, anglers and state park visitors. Together, with our reserve officer force, they conducted more than 2,400 free boat inspections across the state." Boating accidents declined 55 percent this Memorial Day weekend compared to the same period last year and none of the mishaps resulted in life-threatening injuries. Two incidents involved boats capsizing on Chesapeake Bay tributaries, one was a minor tubing accident on Deep Creek Lake and the fourth occurred as a boat docked at Smallwood State Park. Statewide, officers responded to 620 calls for service, a five percent increase over 2015. They arrested 15 people for impaired boating or impaired driving, compared to seven arrests last year. They wrote a total of 402 tickets and 1,297 warnings for all offenses, increases over last year of four percent and 17 percent respectively. Officers worked with allied agencies, such as the U.S. Coast Guard and local police and fire marine units, to be a highly visible presence on the Chesapeake Bay, the Atlantic coastal bays, and rivers and tributaries. Ziegler said the strategy this year is to get the boating season off to a good start that can be sustained through Labor Day. Last year, 21 people died in boating accidents, a 20-year high. Only three of the victims were wearing life jackets. "We aren't doing this to rack up tickets or generate revenue," he said. "We are doing this to keep our citizens and visitors safe so that they can continue to enjoy Maryland's lands and waters." The safety campaign will continue June 24-26, with Operation Dry Water, a nationwide crackdown on alcohol- and drug-impaired boaters. Natural Resources Police will once again partner with other maritime law enforcement agencies to patrol waterways from Deep Creek Lake to the Atlantic Ocean. | |||||||||||||||
Needing a restroom no reason for speeding, judge says Posted: 02 Jun 2016 06:53 AM PDT EASTVILLE, Va. — A woman who told a judge she was speeding toward a restroom after being clocked at 92 mph on the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel couldn't persuade him of the urgency of her needs. On Tuesday in Northampton County Circuit Court, Judge W. Revell Lewis III found Cinthya Rivas, 31, of New York City guilty of reckless driving in the Jan. 10 incident. The speed limit on the 17.6-mile toll bridge is posted at 55 mph. When bridge-tunnel police stopped her, Rivas gave no reason why she was speeding. But in court, she said she was menstruating, needed a restroom immediately and was heading toward a stop several miles north that was indicated on her GPS. More | |||||||||||||||

Surprise Foal Expected Soon On Assateague Island; Gokey Go Bones Expected To Birth Soon Posted: 02 Jun 2016 06:37 AM PDT ASSATEAGUE — The ongoing baby boom on Assateague Island is even bigger than first expected after officials on the barrier island late last week learned a fourth mare is pregnant and expecting at any time. In an annual November ritual on the barrier island, a biological technician conducts pregnancy tests of sorts on many of the mares in the wild horse population on Assateague in an attempt to predict how many, if any, new foals will join the herd in the coming year. When the results came back late last year, Assateague officials announced three mares on the island, including Carol's Girl, JoJo and Charmed were all expected to birth falls this spring and early summer, creating a virtual baby boom on the island. Two of the foals have already been born. Carol's Girl birthed her foal in April and JoJo gave birth to her foal about three weeks ago, leaving only Charmed still expecting. Charmed is expected to birth her foal at any time now. However, the Assateague Island Alliance (AIA), the friends group of the Assateague Island National Seashore, which advocates on behalf of the island's most famed residents, learned last week yet another mare, Gokey Go Bones, is also pregnant and is expected to give birth at any time.

COAST GUARD, PARTNER AGENCIES, GOOD SAMARITAN ASSIST 22 IN WATER NEAR BLOODSWORTH ISLAND, MD. Posted: 02 Jun 2016 02:30 AM PDT BALTIMORE — The Coast Guard, local partner agencies and a good Samaritan responded Wednesday to a mayday call from a boat that sank with 22 people aboard near Bloodsworth Island. Responding agencies included Maryland Natural Resources Police, Maryland State Police, Dorchester County EMS and Naval Air Station Patuxent River. Watchstanders at Coast Guard Sector Maryland-National Capital Region received a digital selective calling alert of distress with the boats Maritime Mobile Service Identity number from a boater aboard a 40-foot boat. The DSC notification was followed by a distress call over VHF-FM marine channel 16 stating, "Mayday, mayday, mayday. This is the motor vessel Karen N. We have sunk off of Bloodsworth Island." Communications were lost soon after. Sector Maryland-National Capital Region issued an urgent marine information broadcast and launched boat crews from Coast Guard Station Crisfield, while SYSCOM Helicopter Communications notified Maryland State Police and launched two helicopter crews. A good Samaritan arrived on scene, brought the 22 boaters aboard, transported them to Wingate and transferred them to awaiting EMS personnel. "As soon as we received the DSC alert we knew their exact position," said Lt j.g. Issac Yates, a command duty officer at the Sector Maryland-National Capital Region command center. "When the owner of a vessel connects their radio to a GPS, the signal sent after pressing the DSC alert button will include the GPS position," said Yates. "If they've gone to the [maritime mobile service identity] website and registered their vessel with the appropriate vessel owner information, the DSC alert will also send the MMSI code number with the signal and we can look up the owner's information while also knowing the exact position of when the alert was pressed." EMS determined one person was in need of an airlift to Peninsula Regional Medical Center. Other injured personnel were transported to Peninsula Regional Medical Center via ambulance. "All 22 persons in the water were wearing their life preservers," said Yates. "That greatly enhanced their survivability." | |||||||||||||||
