THE FOLLY OF TRUMP AND HIS PARTNER IN CRIME, THE LATE IRANIAN SUPREME LEADER

UPDATE:

The vertigo knocked me out trying to read two open screens for PACER, my reach screen, and my word screen.  It is too much for the eyes and brain. I am back to work.

I received some credible analysis on the Republican Guard in Iran.  It appears we may need to kill 25 to 50 thousand civilians to decimate the Republican Guard.  If this is true, we are now in a quagmire. 

It bothers me so many people demand every word on this folly support A or B.  That is not reality.  Just because I can find multiple good things could come of this war, does not mean I support it.  I do not support the war.  But this does not mean good things cannot come out of the war.

THE FOLLY BY BOTH THE SUPREME LEADER AND TRUMP IS JUST BIZARRE 

So, for weeks the Supreme Leader knew Trump was coming for him.  Both the Supreme Leader and most of his leadership did not change their locations, and now they are dead.  I do not get it.

BOTH THE ISRAELI AND US MILITARY HAVE FAILED IN STAGE ONE

They clearly get an A+ on killing the Supreme Leader.  But think how many bombs we have dropped on Iran and Iran is still launching rockets.  How the hell is this possible.  On day one there should have been enough air attacks to take out every launch site in Iran.  This is a big folly.

Trump and Netanyahu both failed to realize Iran flooded Hezbollah with rockets to be launched from Lebanon.  Now the poor people of Lebanon are being bombed by the US and Israel. The failure to take out Iran's proxies and in fact all launch sites in Iran, make Trump and Netanyahu look incompetent.

By the grace of God, the US pilots shot down over Kuwait by Kuwaiti forces survived.  This is a major failure of communication between Kuwait and the US military command. 

JUST BECAUSE I OPPOSE THE WAR, DOES NOT MEAN GOOD THINGS WILL NOT COME OF THE WAR

Women in Iran were celebrating what they believe will be new freedoms.  Naturally the fake left in the US is not standing with the Iranian woman.

The president of Ukraine is standing with Trump for good reason.  Russia is dependent on Iranian clones to bomb Ukraine.  Israel and the US are destroying all military factories.  This hurts Russia and helps Ukraine.  It also denies all of Iran's proxies' access to military weapons produced in Iran.

WE ARE BACK TO 1979

Jimmy Carter made the decision to not act to protect our allies in Iran and Nicaragua.  Both countries fell to revolution, and we have been dealing with it since 1979.

It is not so simple.

A bought a copy of the Congressional findings on the "Iran Contra Affair. National Security is not so simple as to fit in a cubbyhole.  

I wish I could say these issues are black and white.  They are not.  It took me a while to understand, but Congress found sometimes National Security is more important than compliance with every constitutional restriction on the White House. 

THERE IS A REAL CHANCE CHANGE WILL NOW COME TO NICARAGUA AND IRAN, AND TRUMP WILL GET THE CREDIT

The key to Iran is decimating the Iranian Republican Guard.  So long as the Republican Guard is in place, Iran will remain under the control of a religious leader.  I am not sure how they rule while under constant attack, but nonetheless they remain in control.

The attacks on the Republican Guard have to be unrelenting. There is no issue for me the US is negotiating a surrender with the regular army.  The regular army is not trained with the mindset of absolute power for the religious leaders.

The Republican Guard may back a new religious leader, but so long as the bombing continues the appointment will be meaningless. So long as the leaders are in hiding, the people will be free to protest. 

My sources in Nicaragua and here in the US are telling me Nicaragua is working towards a compromise with Trump.  While poverty remains a major issue in Nicaragua, Nicaragua has received enough international aide that it can turn into a major international tourist destination overnight.

 SEVERAL UPDATES

I HAVE STANDING TO NOW ASK THE US SUPRREME COURT TO INTERVENE IN THE COB CASE

This week I will finish my filings with the Texas Supreme Court in order to allow Judge Olvera to issue a show cause order as to why they should not be held in contempt for issuing three orders in the case which is in federal court. 

I handed them on a silver platter a way out of this mess, and instead of correcting their actions they had the Chief Clerk rule [not allowed] that the three orders are not void.  They will get one more chance on Wednesday, and then I prepare the filing for Judge Olvera.

At that point one of two things will happen.  If Judge Olvera refuses to take action against the Texas Supreme Court, I will file an Application for Stay with the US Supreme Court with Justice Alito.

The last one I filed in 1993, stopped an Air Force court martial for 25 hours.  The issue of Marriage Equality is not an issue, but it is a claim which allows me to state retaliation.  Alito is hell bent on hearing any case which could open the door to review the Marriage Equality case.

Also, and something important to me, I will use former Chief Justice Rehnquist's standard for issuing a Stay at this stage.  The Democrats have been complaining the current Court has no standard for when they issue a stay.  I will give them the standard.

The case will be Wightman-Cervantes v. Texas Lone Star.  

THE CASE OF JOHN DOE

I am waiting for the Court of Criminal Appeals clerk to accept the Motion for Rehearing En Banc.  Because the Rule provides the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court authority to assign a tie breaking justice, the Rule allowed me to inform the Court of Criminal Appeals, that will not be an option and to explain the illegal conduct of the Texas Supreme Court.

On what I know to be an extremely long shot in asking the Supreme Court to help in the COB case, if they do help then right behind it while I have their attention I will file the Stay in the John Doe case.

MY HEALTH

My ears are a mess.  I never left the house yesterday because I could not drive due to the vertigo.  I did not really work yesterday.  I am very dizzy and nauseous.  After I finish breakfast, I will do my best to get done what I needs to get done.

AS A PRO SE IN FEDERAL COURT MY DEADLINES ARE EARLIER THAN THE LAWYERS- THIS IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL

I have asked for permission to E-File.  Judge Olvera has not given me permission to E--File.  This means I must be in the courthouse before 5 p.m., whereas the attorneys have until midnight to meet a deadline.  I will miss the deadline tomorrow because the mandatory filing will not be done until after 5 p.m.  It is a lot of work.

FROM THE BRIEF BEFORE THE TEXAS SUPREME COURT SHOWING, THEY VIOLATED THE JURISDICTION OF THE FEDERAL COURT

"Once the notice of removal is filed, and any subsequent state action is

absolutely void and coram non judice.  Feliciano, 589 U.S. at 64 (quoting Kern v. Huidekoper, 103 U.S. 485, 493 (1881), and Steamship Co. v. Tugman, 106 U.S. 118, 122 (1882)).”

                The law is so clear.  This court acted without jurisdiction to interfere with federal proceedings.  It was retaliation for Relator’s Motion to Recuse on the issue of LGBTQ+ rights.  For § 1983 purposes. immunity is no defense.  The court lacked any semblance of jurisdiction. The issue as to Justice Devine is unclear.  If he participated in the “Denied” ruling is subject to the federal contempt issue and possible obstruction of justice and civil rights violations. See, United States v. Lanier, 520 U.S. 259 (1997).  The notice appears to only show Justice Devine did not participate in the Motion to Recuse.

                This court has until March 9, 2026, to show cause why the referral to federal court is without merit and for Relator to consider same, or on March 10, 2026, the Show Cause will be filed with federal Judge Rolando Olvera.  It will be heard on March 17, 2026, during the pretrial hearing.

Under 28 U.S.C. § 1446(d), the filing of a notice of removal immediately strips every state court, including appellate courts and the Texas Supreme Court, of jurisdiction over the case.  Once a removable case has been properly removed to federal court, the state court is left without any case, authority, or process, and its subsequent proceedings and judgments are absolutely void.  See Kern v. Huidekoper, 103 U.S. 485, 491-493 (1881).

The United States Supreme Court reaffirmed this principle in Roman Catholic Archdiocese of San Juan v. Acevedo-Feliciano, holding that all orders entered by a state court after the filing of a notice of removal are void because the case is no longer within that court’s jurisdiction.  589 U.S. 57, 63-64, 140 S. Ct. 696, 700 (2020).  This rule does not turn on the type of state proceeding or the procedural posture.  Federal law divests state jurisdiction categorically and instantaneously. 

Texas courts follow the same rule set by federal precedent. In In re Southwestern Bell Telephone Co., the Texas Supreme Court held that from the time a case is removed to federal court until it is remanded, “the state court is prohibited from taking further action.”  235 S.W.3d 619, 624–25 (Tex. 2007) (citing 28 U.S.C. § 1446(d), which provides that the state court “shall proceed no further unless and until the case is remanded”).  This rule applies equally to the Texas Supreme Court itself."

I know when opposing counsel is trying to settle a case.  John Cowen is rejecting advice from Helen Scott.  They both will be remembered for the mess they created to avoid enforcing the code. 

 

I AM OFF TO SAN ANTONIO ON JANUARY 16, 2026, TO SEE THE BEST IN HIS FIELD

I do not mind one bit how much the Medicare is going to cost me.  I will work it out.

My mindset is the end diagnosis will be benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), although the Free % PSA indicates it is not BPH.  These labs can be misleading.  But to be safe when someone has a PSA at 18.4, and Free PSA at 19, you do the biopsy to rule out, not confirm cancer.

On the 16th I will be driving at night to get back in time for a hearing in federal court on the 17th wherein Judge Olvera may rule on fully briefed pending motions to include the Motion to Remand.  One opposing attorney came at me mischaracterizing my opposition to the hearing because he wants a continuance.  The main purpose of the hearing is to allow Judge Olvera to rule on pending motions and put the parties to prepare for trial.

If Judge Overa dismisses the COB from the lawsuit; it is automatically remanded to state court because he will have lost his only basis for federal jurisdiction. 

The Texas Supreme Court is not happy.  I am pursuing the contempt.  The law is black and white.  Will Judge Olvera protect his jurisdiction from the Texas Supreme Court? 

Okay I have to get back to finishing my response to the COB motion to dismiss.  I will file it in the morning.

 

IRAN SUPREME LEADER IS DEAD, BUT THE ANALYSTS HAVE WHAT IS NEXT WRONG

Let's be real, the military has the guns, not the religious leaders. The military has to know their time is over if they back another radical Supreme Leader.

There is also the factor, the military knows no Supreme Leader would have the backing of the people.

Military leaders never want to let power go.  To a military leader in Iran, they know Trump prefers to keep them in power than chance them being an opposition force.

If there is a regime change it will not be another radical Supreme Leader.  Oh, I guess you can say maybe for a month or two before it collapses.  The new leader will be more secular and have the backing of the military establishment.  Trump and Israel would support such a leader. 

If this happens, the geopolitics in the region will change fast to the detriment of all the rogue forces Iran has backed for decades. This will make Trump the winner. 

 

MY RIGHT EAR WAS DRAINED OF ABOUT 2 1/2 INCHES INTO A CULTURE TUBE TO BE SENT OUT

This will not be like last time where neglect resulted in a 5-week hospital stay. This doctor may be the only one I trust at this time in the LRGV.

Until the culture comes back, we have no idea the source of the infection.  He also removed the tube.  The ear hurts, but I already of antibiotic drops in the ear.  I will continue with the same drops which finally resolved the problem last time.

I am very happy I am now with Medicare.  It will cost me but mean better healthcare.  If I need a formal ear doctor, I have one ready to go at Methodist Stone Oak in SA.  He does not take VA, but he will take my Medicare.

A friend asked me why I am paying so much.  A $111 is not a lot.  I am willing to pay an extra $50 a month for unlimited care anywhere in the US.  If I need a doctor in NY or San Diego, my insurance will pay.  I also have $50 thousand coverage when I travel internationally.  

 

THE CONTEXT BEHIND THE SIX DOCTORS HAVING TO REFUND PAYMENTS FOR MEDICAL SERVICES

If you read the post in the Herald, no doctor has been charged with criminal conduct.  Why? it was a billing problem which was caused by equally responsible doctor's staff and staff at Medicare, Medicaid, and TRIWEST. 

Just yesterday, while praising the urologist the VA assigned to me, I noted the staff is a nightmare.  To be sure the doctors need to be held accountable for the mistakes of their billing staff. But also note doctors do not prepare the billing to the various public and private insurance companies.

I will not name the doctor I use to see but stopped because his staff was a nightmare.  I spend years making good money advising doctors on liability problems to include billing mistakes.

The doctor I know is brilliant.  When my late brother-in-law was in ICU at Valley Baptist, he saved him.  The ICU staff were ignoring the lab work, and this doctor stepped in and had a word with the ICU nurses.

This doctor is brilliant and no one will ever convince me he was part of this mess.  In fact, I equally blame Medicare, Medicaid and TRICARE for what happened. 

You will note TRIWEST [VA] is not included.

As I have noted I see how much the doctor bills and how much they get paid.  Routinely, I see simple procedures tied to the treatment wherein the VA denies the claim.  The office managers express their frustration.  

I left this doctor after his office manager refused to release my medical records to Brooks Army Medical Center.  The agreement with the VA is medical records are to be released at no cost, if general records.  Once Brook Army Medical Center gave up on getting the records they dropped me as a patient. The doctor did nothing wrong, it was his staff.

CONTEXT: Doctors have to rely on their office manager to manage the non-medical staff.  Unfortunately, billing has become so complex. The coders are no longer qualified. They are not getting the training they need.  And what happened to these 6 doctors is the result.  But there is certainly no intended fraud by the doctors.

WHY MEDICARE, MEDICAID AND TRIWEST ARE EQUALLY RESPONSIBLE

If the DOJ press release is correct, Medicare, Medicaid and TRIWEST paid for services not justified because the doctor's medical notes did not say why the simple test was performed.  If Medicare requires justification for the procedure, and justification is not in the record, why did Medicare pay for it?

The Medicare, Medicaid, and TRIWEST clerks were no more competent than the coders working for the doctors.

And this my friends is why no one was charged with criminal fraud.

Please do not judge these doctors based on the mistakes of their coder billing for the service, and for the Medicare. Medicaid, and TRIWEST clerks paying for the services when the medical records did not justify the billing.

Billing problems are routine.  This one got out of control because Medicare, Medicaid and TRIWEST paid when they should not have.  Had the billing been denied based on incomplete medical records, doctors would have corrected the problem.

Yes, I agree the doctor should have to pay the money back, but the Congressional Oversight Committee needs to look into this matter so they can see how the mistakes of Medicare, Medicaid, and TRIWEST are costing the taxpayers millions. 

Back to work, before leaving for a doctor in McAllen.

A FEW UPDATES

UPDATE:

The SSA office was so helpful.  They told me I did not need an appointment.  I am officially on Medicare Parts A and B, under Plan N which effectively gives me full coverage.  I will pay $20.00 a visit and a $282.00 deductible a year.

The Plan N is $111.00 a month.  The Part B is either Zero or $202.00.  I have to apply with Texas Adult Medicaid to see if they will pay Part B.  I am fine paying $313 a month for better choices.  I will only use the Medicare when the private providers do not take VA.  

I got to the SSA office at 2:30 and was out of there at 3:45. I was a walk-in.  The representative knew exactly what I needed.  I gave him my ID and VA award letter.  He entered everything and I was done.  I am good effective March 1, 2026.   The wait was really nothing. 

This thing with community providers not accepting VA vouchers is only going to get worse.  I see the bills.  The VA sends me every summary.  It tells me how much the provider bills, what the VA pays, and my part is zero.  I will say the majority of the time the VA does not pay enough to cover the front office, and paperwork.  The doctors have to know they are not getting paid and just do it to help veterans.  

I totally support the doctors who will no longer accept VA vouchers.  

Here is a fact.  That $1.5 million bill for my 5 weeks in the hospital never would have happened had I been on Medicare.  I would have been in San Antonio with a team which does not take VA but are well regarded for their advanced care.  

I am back to working on court matters, for now.  I will be in McAllen most of tomorrow with other doctors.

Original Post

A quick note before I head out to SSA to see if they can help me with an emergency Medicare Part B application.

There is nothing further the VA can do for me to finish assessing whether or not the high PSA and low free% PSA indicate prostate cancer.  I was told in writing the local urologist I was assigned to has permission to do the prostate biopsy and I need to work with his office.

I have worked with his office.  I cannot get past the front desk.  Whether by visiting or calling I am told the same thing.  The doctor has been too busy to look at the lab work which points to possible prostate cancer. I do not believe them.  I like this doctor and there is no way he would leave critical lab work on his desk and not review it.  

So on Monday I went to the best urology group available in SA and asked if they take VA vouchers.  Under Vets Choice I can use anyone I want so long as they take VA insurance.  I got the answer I dreaded.  They no longer take VA insurance.  You have to have Medicare.  This is the third time I have faced this problem.  Had the ENT group in SA accepted VA insurance, I never would have ended up in the hospital for 5 weeks, and then 9 weeks with out-patient daily treatment.  Oh, and that infection is back. 

So now I decide it is time to just pay for Medicare since the VA can no longer guarantee care.

Nope, I spent 3 1/2 hours on the phone back and forth with SSA and Medicare and after they could not help me I was told I have to go in for an in office appointment.  The best they can do is March 24th.  

So the local urologist is too busy to look at the lab work, and the SSA cannot help with Medicare Part B until March 24th.  This also means cancelling the Part N which starts on March 1.  It is the best available supplement to cover me all over the US and up to $50k internationally. 

Trump needs to send specialist to the LRGV to provide veterans healthcare and stop trying to send a ship hospital to Greenland.  He needs to take care of US Veterans first.

This post is a break.  I came home from the VA after being there most of the morning for unrelated care to the prostate.  My phone ran out.  

I was told to take everything I have and try a walk in and maybe they can help me on an emergency basis to get Medicare Part B.

Not edited.  I need out the door.
