Just weeks after winning the Kentucky Derby, Golden Tempo added another major victory to his résumé, capturing the 158th Belmont Stakes at Saratoga after his connections opted to skip the Preakness Stakes and give him extra rest instead of pursuing the Triple Crown.
Karmelo is cooked, IMO. 👇
In the murder case of 17-year-old Austin Metcalf, stabbed at a Frisco track meet, three of Austin’s teammates just testified.
Witnesses describe Karmelo Anthony refusing to leave their tent, warning 'touch me and find out,' keeping his hand in his bag, then stabbing Austin after a shoulder touch or nudge.
Accounts differ slightly on the shove vs. provocation, but the pattern is clear—Karmelo was the outsider escalating a confrontation that ended in tragedy.
Praying for justice for Austin and his family.
Emotional moment in Karmelo Anthony's murder trial ... tears started flowing as prosecutors played bodycam footage of paramedics trying to save Austin Metcalf from a fatal stab wound.

Today marks the anniversary of the assassination of Bobby, RFK, June 5, 1968.

I am grateful to Bobby and, today, Secretary Robert Kennedy Jr. for carrying the legacy!

BREAKING: The Trump administration is putting every state on notice in a massive crackdown on Medicaid fraud.
FTC Chairman Andrew Ferguson just announced that Hawaii has been officially decertified for failing to enforce the law and address the fraud problem plaguing the state.
"Everyone is on notice. And today, Hawaii is being decertified for its abject failure to enforce state and federal law to prohibit fraud."
Dr David Morris exposes Cortisone shots are used a revenue generator by Big Pharma
He reveals they are a scam and “designed to fail”
“Here's something orthopedists know, but they're not gonna tell you. And yes, I'm being a little bit cynical here, but cortisone shots are designed to fail. Not by accident, they're designed that way.
When you get a cortisone injection, it works for a few weeks or a few months.
The pain goes away. You think it's healing, but cortisone doesn't heal anything. It's a powerful anti-inflammatory. That temporarily suppresses the pain signals.
Meanwhile, it's actively degrading, it's actively breaking down the tissue.
Look this up, don't take my word for it. Cartilage, tendons, ligaments actively being degraded. So when the cortisone wears off, your joint is actually worse than before.
The pain can come back stronger. What happens then?
Well, then your doctor gives you another shot. After 3 or 4 shots, the cartilage is so degraded that conservative treatment isn't working anymore. Now you're a surgical candidate. This is exactly what the business model requires. Your orthopedist isn't trying to heal your joint with cortisone.
He's buying time until you're bad enough to operate on, because that's when he gets paid the most. Again, I'm being cynical, I know that, but it's so frustrating to me”
Here’s what you should do
“Compare that to regenerative medicine. When we inject Wharton's jelly or PRP, platelet-rich plasma, we're triggering a healing response. Growth factors, cytokines, signaling molecules that tell your body to repair tissue and build new collagen.
It takes longer, it costs more upfront, but you're actually healing. We're not just masking symptoms while the problem accelerates towards surgery”
“So if your orthopedist recommends another cortisone shot, ask him, what's the plan after this stops working? Because if the answer is surgery, he's not treating you, he's preparing you”
He’s 100% right
Cortisone shots repeated use is linked to:
- Tissue degradation
- Cartilage thinning and accelerated osteoarthritis progression
- Tendon weakening or rupture
- Bone death, joint infection, skin atrophy, and faster joint deterioration
So what are the real treatment options? I found those too
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma): Uses your own blood’s concentrated growth factors to stimulate repair, collagen production, and reduce inflammation. Studies often show better long-term pain relief and function (6–12+ months) compared to cortisone, fewer risks of tissue breakdown
Wharton’s Jelly (Umbilical Cord MSCs): Contains mesenchymal stem cells, growth factors, and anti-inflammatory components from donated umbilical cords. Early evidence suggests it can help with pain, mobility, and tissue repair in joints
Our healthcare system isn’t about fixing you, it’s about long term customers and repeated treatments
