The final wish of a former United States Marine who is suffering from terminal cancer may be fulfilled after making a public appeal to be buried next to his beloved wife who is also nearing her last days. War veteran Samuel Leon and his loving wife, Marta, who is also terminally ill with liver disease and dementia, made their emotional plea in a family video just a few weeks ago. On Thursday, the couple’s son, Samuel Leon Jr., along with his mother, rushed to Torrance Memorial Medical Center after doctors alerted them Leon may only have days to live. Leon Jr., an only child and a veteran himself, has been fighting to fulfill his parents’ wishes to share a final resting place, even starting a GoFundMe to help raise funds as their time runs out. This is because Leon Jr. learned none of California’s veteran cemeteries would take his mother since she was not married to his father while he was in the service. He told KTLA 5 Reporter Kareen Wynter that his onl...SoCal woman guilty of $359 million fraud scheme targeting federal healthcare program

A Glendale woman was convicted of a $359 million fraud scheme targeting federal healthcare programs.The woman was identified as Lourdes Navarro, 64, by the U.S. Attorney’s Office.Navarro pleaded guilty to collecting millions by fraudulently submitting claims to government and private insurance programs during the COVID-19 pandemic. Specifically, her claims involved “expensive and medically unnecessary respiratory pathogen panel (RPP) tests,” officials said.From June 2020 to April 2022, Navarro and an accomplice, Imran Shams, conducted screening tests to identify patients infected with COVID-19. They obtained nasal swab samples from staff and residents at a variety of places including nursing homes, assisted living facilities, rehabilitation facilities, and students and staff at local schools.With those collected samples, Matias Clinical Laboratory, dba Health Care Providers Laboratory, performed RPP tests on the samples, despite only being ordered to test for COVID-19.

By Kaanita Iyer | CNNFormer President Donald Trump allegedly discussed potentially sensitive information about US nuclear submarines with a member of his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida, following his presidency, ABC reported Thursday.Sources told ABC that the member is Anthony Pratt, an Australian billionaire who allegedly went on to share the information he received from the former president during an April 2021 meeting with “more than a dozen foreign officials, several of his own employees, and a handful of journalists.”ABC also reported that according to sources, a former Mar-a-Lago employee told investigations that he was “bothered” by the former president disclosing such information to someone who is not a US citizen. He added that he heard Pratt sharing potentially sensitive information minutes after his meeting with the former president, sources told ABC.These allegations were not included in special counsel Jack Smith’s indictment of Trump over his handling of clas...Kaiser health care strike: Driven by and likely to boost a labor-action surge

A massive strike by Kaiser Permanente workers, including 23,000 in the Bay Area, is part of a surge in union activity this year from Detroit to Hollywood and likely will bring greater bargaining power to workers in health care and other industries, experts say.Kaiser’s strike followed the Sept. 30 expiration of the union contract for tens of thousands of workers. Other high-profile strikes, including a successful labor action by Hollywood writers and an ongoing strike among auto workers — and even a threatened strike by UPS employees that was a key tactic in negotiating a favorable contract — likely gave confidence to Kaiser workers, said John Logan, chair of the Labor and Employment Studies department at San Francisco State University.“When they see things like that, they think, yes, now is the time to do this. We can do it, too,” Logan said.The job action over wages, understaffing and other issues that took 75,000 Kaiser workers across the U.S. off th...Rodeo 2-year-old died from 'prolonged abuse,' not drowning: DA

JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — Chesson Hadley played bogey-free Thursday in the Sanderson Farms Championship and posted an 8-under 64 for a one-shot lead in his latest bid to secure his PGA Tour card.This is the third straight year Hadley has been on the bubble to finish among the top 125 in the FedEx Cup. At least now he has time on his side, and faith in swing that he tweaked at the start of the year.He had two stretches of three straight birdies on a day of ever-shifting weather at the Country Club of Jackson to move past Henrik Norlander, who had a 65 in the morning, and Brandon Wu, who made an 18-foot birdie putt on his final hole in the afternoon for a 65.Ludvig Aberg, the 23-year-old Swede who made his Ryder Cup debut last week at Marco Simone, had a 67 that left him a little frustrated. He missed three birdie putts from 7 feet or closer on the back nine.Aberg was the No. 1 in the PGA Tour University ranking, and thus is assured his PGA Tour card for 2024.
