@EBoKnowss This is more than a slap in the face to Brandon…this is like slapping him in the face, sleeping with his wife, burning down his house and taking over his smoking lounge
The government is telling you that you're going to eat foreign ground beef and you're gonna like it and it's gonna lower beef prices.
That's about as America LAST as we can get when the president is undercutting our own ranchers.
This is outrageous. 🚨
Whether it’s called a dictatorship, a monarchy, or a republic,
Whether the executive is a mayor, a governor, or a president,
Regardless of what the written law says,
GOVERNMENT is always just whatever those who are governed will let those who are in office get away with.
That’s right, Charlie platformed and defended me. He also told me about how much he loved and admired Candace, the last time I saw him.
So, fuck right off pretending to speak for him.
🚨🚨 BREAKING NEWS 🚨🚨
I’ve owned racehorses for 20 years
Today is one of the most embarrassing, disgusting and saddest days I’ve ever experienced in this sport.
I’m going on the record: there is real validity to the rumors and allegations surrounding Marshall Gramm, @hisa_us and the @jockeyclub.
That “racing insider” Swift is breaking this news on X is one of the biggest, embarrassing, public relations debacles I’ve ever seen in my life. Shame on HISA and the jockey Club.
That he has incredible sources both inside HISA and the Jockey Club tells you all you need to know about this circus we call horse racing.
And if even half of what is being discussed is true, this could become one of the biggest scandals in horse racing history.
If Marshall did something wrong, punish him.
But don’t make the mistake of pretending this is just about Marshall.
THIS IS ABOUT THE SYSTEM.
If HISA’s Mickey Mouse technology made confidential horse information this easy to access, then every owner in America should be asking:
Who else got in???
How many times???
What did they see???
And what did they do with it???
Owners were forced to trust HISA with confidential information about our horses.
Apparently, maybe we were the idiots for trusting them.
And of course, right in the middle of everything again is The Jockey Club. The same Jockey Club that has controlled racing’s data, controlled the power structure and told everybody for years that HISA was going to save the sport.
They took their victory lap.
They handed out awards.
They told owners and horseplayers how great everything was.
How’s that victory lap looking today???
Horse racing has a massive insider problem. Sales. Wagering. Data. Conflicts. Access. Power.
And somehow the same small group of people is always sitting at the same tables, sitting on the same boards and protecting the same system.
Meanwhile, who gets screwed???
THE HORSE OWNERS AND THE HORSEPLAYERS.
The people putting up the money. The people actually funding this sport.
Pat Cummings and I know Marshall. We like Marshall.
If he screwed up, we are pissed at him.
But friendship doesn’t come before integrity.
Nobody gets protected. Nobody gets a pass.
HISA needs to immediately disclose exactly what happened, how long it happened, who had access and whether anyone else accessed the same information.
And there needs to be a completely independent third-party investigation of HISA, The Jockey Club and everyone involved.
Not an investigation by their friends.
Not an investigation by their lawyers.
Not another bullshit press release.
A REAL investigation.
Every Jockey Club Steward should either demand it or resign.
Everett Dobson wanted the job as Chairman. Well, congratulations.
This is the job.
This is the moment where you either clean this mess up or become part of it.
And every Jockey Club member should take a long look in the mirror.
By continuing to stand behind this leadership, you are putting your name behind this system.
Owners should remember that.
Horseplayers should remember that.
Track operators should remember that.
I think HISA has completely lost the trust of the industry.
And I believe this could ultimately be the beginning of the end for HISA as we know it.
Class actions from horse owners???
Horseplayers???
Track operators???
I wouldn’t be surprised by any of it. Something is very fucking rotten in horse racing.
I love this sport too much to shut up.
I’ve spent 20 years fighting for it.
And I’m done watching the same insiders protect each other while the people funding this game get treated like suckers.
FULL TRANSPARENCY.
FULL ACCOUNTABILITY.
NO MORE BULLSHIT.
There's much to say about the @RealCandaceO@paleochristcon debate, but this is perhaps the most significant.
Candace is inextricably connected to this case on a soul level. It has meaning beyond Tyler Robinson, another nation, the feds and certainly more than money, clicks or fame.
Andrew has no connection to this case; the outcome really doesn't matter much to him one way or the other.
Many people dislike Candace for her stance on one thing or the other and this case became a convenient weapon to club her with in order to discredit her entirely.
If you hate her for her stance on Israel, for example, you would try to destroy her credibility on this case as a method of negating her opinions as a whole.
Andrew saw an opportunity to pile-on to somebody catching lots of heat and be the savior. He could defend Erika, be the hero and take the "appeal to authority" position.
He thought his debate expertise would be sufficient even with limited knowledge of the case.
Yet, he underestimated how much deep meaning and soulful care can carry a person through a mismatch of skill.
This is how people succeed against all odds. This is how a mother can develop superhuman strength to lift a car off a baby trapped underneath. It defies logic, but it happens. It's called "hysterical strength."
Candace has a view of this case in a way nobody else could understand. Anyone else in her shoes might go crazy seeing the lies, the deception, the propaganda, the holes.. day after day.
She can't control what's happening so she did the one thing she could do, she started making noise. She turned on the camera and put her everything into figuring it out.
It's a pressure on her soul.
It's as clear to me as it was at the beginning: what she wants is the truth - even if it proves she's been wrong all along.
Remember, the alternative would be to do nothing at all.
I'd bet, she couldn't live with herself if she didn't at least try.
We'd all be lucky to have a friend like her.
Sammy Okyere made incredible use of his Make-A-Wish this summer.
Despite suffering from a blood disorder, the 12-year-old used his wish to donate supplies to a homeless shelter in Philadelphia.
On Thursday, his selflessness was rewarded with an opportunity to meet Jalen Hurts.
