Kentucky Attorney General sues Polymarket and Kalshi for illegal gambling, but only after they sued Kentucky.

Over the years, the KY Legislature, Governor, and the AG have made it clear that Churchill Downs, Keeneland, and other horse tracks own them. They will do their bidding by shaping laws, bailing them out, and enforcing their monopoly on gambling.

When the horse tracks illegally put Historical Horse Racing (HHR) slot machines at their tracks, the Legislature and Governor bailed them out of legal consequences by passing a new law.

When they legalized sports betting, the law passed gave a monopoly to the horse tracks, requiring all sports books to run through the tracks.

When skilled gaming (gray machines) started catching on, the Legislature and Beshear moved swiftly to ban them.

Now we have the AG getting involved.

The Legislature passed a new law singling out prediction markets for a higher tax than they charge the horse parks' sports books. Kalshi, Polymarket, etc., sued, and now the AG has decided they actually have been illegally gambling this whole time.

What's funny is that it was citizens who had to sue the horse tracks over their illegal HHR slot machines, but when it comes to the horse tracks' monopoly being threatened, our tax dollars will be used to defend them.

People defending this special treatment will say horse tracks are an important part of KY's economy and they were going to close and were at risk. We have to protect them. That might have been true twenty or so years ago, but now Kentucky horse parks like Churchill Downs are having record years and buying up assets in other states. They're taking their protected monopoly revenues somewhere else.

Either everyone gets to make a profit from gambling, or no one does. Our government needs to stop picking winners and losers when it comes to the gambling business.

It shouldn’t matter which side of the aisle is to blame for the deficit — the truth is, both parties are responsible.

What matters is having leaders who aren’t afraid to call a spade a spade and fight to stop it.

Meet Waad Ramadan Alwan and Mohanad Shareef Hammadi two Iraqi “refugees” resettled in Bowling Green, Kentucky, who abused America’s generosity to plot terror while living off taxpayer-funded welfare.

Alwan, whose fingerprints were on an unexploded IED that targeted U.S. troops in Iraq, admitted to planting and detonating IEDs against American soldiers from 2003-2006, including drawing diagrams and teaching others how to build them. Hammadi confessed to 10-11 IED attacks and shooting at U.S. soldiers. Both lied on their refugee applications to evade vetting, then conspired from Kentucky to ship Stinger missiles, sniper rifles, RPGs, machine guns, explosives, and cash to al-Qaida in Iraq to kill more Americans… all while on HHS/ORR refugee assistance like groceries, cash, and housing. They got caught in an FBI sting, loading “weapons” into containers headed for terrorists.

Alwan: 40 years. Hammadi: life.
This is the risk your tax dollars fund through billions in refugee welfare in bills like H.R. 7148, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2026 which passed the House with YES votes from these Kentucky Republicans, keeping the money flowing:

• Rep. Andy Barr (R-KY-06)
• Rep. James Comer (R-KY-01)
• Rep. Brett Guthrie (R-KY-02)
• Rep. Hal Rogers (R-KY-05)

Fiscal hawk Rep. Thomas Massie voted NO, standing against the waste.

In the Senate, Rand Paul is pushing an amendment to strip all refugee welfare from 2026 spending and a bill to end it forever.
