Fraud Gets Evicted, America Gets Promoted

We are witnessing the dawn of a new American era, where the slogan isn’t just “Make America Great Again”—it’s “Out with the fraud, in with American progress!”

For years, the swamp in Washington and the radical left strongholds like California have been bleeding this country dry with waste, abuse, and outright scams that lined the pockets of political cronies while real Americans struggled.

But now? President Trump and Vice President JD Vance are in the White House, and they’re not playing games. They’re swinging the axe, cleaning house, and delivering results that the fake news won’t dare cover.

This is the America First mindset in action—rooting out the rot so we can rebuild the republic stronger than ever.

Vice President Vance’s anti-fraud task force has already suspended 221 California hospice and healthcare providers. That’s right, 221! New Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche says it’s just the start – DOJ isn’t going to let fraudsters get away with their crimes.

These weren’t mom-and-pop operations gone wrong. These were outfits raking in taxpayer dollars while delivering substandard care, or worse, no care at all. California’s been a fraud factory for over a decade, folks. They handed out licenses like candy at a parade, no oversight, no accountability. As California Assemblyman Bill Essayli says – Governor Newsom is the “fraud king.”

Sounds like he’s giving Tim Walz a run for his money—well actually they are both stealing our money—you know.

And it gets even better—or worse, depending on how you look at it. Here’s Dr. Oz’s take on the situation as he works alongside Vance.

Half! Think about that. Eighteen hundred hospices in just one city, and Dr. Oz is saying nine hundred of them are basically ghost operations—billing Medicare and Medicaid for services that never happened, AND worse, exploiting our seniors.

This isn’t some abstract policy debate. This is real money—your money—stolen from the system that’s supposed to protect the most vulnerable. But under President Trump and Vice President Vance? Game over.

For too long, the DOJ treated fraud like a parking ticket. No more. This administration is laser-focused: investigate, prosecute, and shut it down. From California to New York, the fraudsters are on notice. We’re clawing back every ill-gotten dollar and redirecting it where it belongs—to American workers, American families, and American strength.

But here’s the beauty of it, patriots—this isn’t just about punishing the bad guys. This is the setup for the comeback story of the century. Because while we’re draining the swamp of fraud, we’re also unleashing the greatest economic engine the world has ever seen. Out with the fraud, in with American progress.

Check the scoreboard: the U.S. economy added 178,000 new jobs in March alone – even CNN has to admit the shock.

We’re seeing the results of a slew of MAGA policies that Trump made a priority on day one – that’s what National Economic Council director Kevin Hassett says.

There’s some real encouraging insights to be found in these job numbers, too – it’s not government jobs, or Hollywood jobs – both of those sectors are down – which I celebrate –

But it’s the kind of jobs that actually contribute to our American way of life – and economists are excited about it – here’s one, listen:

I called this a couple weeks ago – because yes, Trump’s policies are helping facilitate the return of blue-collar jobs – but also AI is making these jobs more and more desirable .

And now is a perfect time for this kind of resurgence – because with tariffs and other America First trade policies in place – manufacturing is seeing a boom – here’s our Trade Representative Jamison Greer – listen:

All good news – and I’ve got some more for you.

Under President Trump’s “Drill, baby, drill” energy agenda, the United States is producing oil at record levels – here’s the president.

This gives us unprecedented energy security.

We’re talking record output in the neighborhood of 24 million barrels per day. No more begging OPEC for favors. No more letting foreign dictators hold our economy hostage. America is the undisputed energy superpower once again.

More oil than Saudi Arabia and Russia combined—and we’re also producing more natural gas than Russia, Iran, and China combined. Our output has surged past 110 billion cubic feet per day, dwarfing what those three nations can muster together. This isn’t luck—it’s policy. It’s unleashing American innovation, American land, and American know-how. Cheap, reliable, abundant energy means lower utility bills for families, lower costs for manufacturers, and a strategic hammer over our geopolitical rivals.

While Biden was begging Venezuela and Iran for oil, Trump and Vance told American producers: go get it. And they did.

Folks, this is the MAGA miracle unfolding in real time. California’s fraud factories were just one symptom of a system rotting from the top down. But now? The fraud task force is cleaning the slate. The DOJ is locked and loaded. Those 178,000 jobs are real momentum. Record manufacturing productivity. And on top of it all—energy independence on steroids, with the U.S. outproducing the world’s former energy heavyweights in both oil and natural gas.

This is what happens when you put America First. You stop the bleeding from fraud, and you pour that energy into growth. No more excuses. The radical left will scream about “cruelty,” but we know the truth: the real cruelty was letting scams fester and ceding our energy edge to our enemies. President Trump and Vice President Vance are proving every day that leadership means results. Out with the fraudsters who gamed the system. In with the innovators, the builders, the workers, and the drillers who make this country unstoppable.

So stand tall, patriots. The best is yet to come. More jobs. More factories. More affordable energy. More pride. More progress. Because when you drain the swamp, you don’t just expose the muck—you plant the seeds for a stronger, prouder, energy-dominant America. This is our moment. And I, for one, cannot wait to see what we build next.
