At the risk of admitting I'm old, I miss the concept "keep right except to pass" on our highways.

Chic Anderson's call was pure genius. He made a horse that was over at the halfway point, sound exciting the whole way.

[TheRealCherokeeOwl 🦉 @CherokeeOwl]

🐎💔 This isn’t just a race… it’s a moment that still brings tears to grown men’s eyes.

June 9, 1973. Belmont Park. The air was electric. Secretariat, that big red horse with a heart bigger than his body, stepped onto the track for the final leg of the Triple Crown.

What happened next? Pure magic.

He didn’t just run — he flew. With Ron Turcotte in the saddle, Secretariat exploded down the stretch, leaving the field in another universe. Thirty-one lengths. Thirty-one. A gap so massive it looked like a dream. The clock stopped at 2:24 — a record that still stands, 53 years later.

Chic Anderson’s voice cracked with awe:
“He is moving like a tremendous machine!”
But it wasn’t a machine. It was a living legend pouring his entire soul into every stride. A horse that seemed to understand the weight of history on his back… and chose to make it unforgettable.

Even today, watching this gives you chills you can’t explain. It reminds us what greatness looks like — raw, fearless, and beautiful.
Secretariat didn’t just win that day. He lifted the spirit of an entire nation and left a legacy that still inspires dreamers everywhere.

If this doesn’t move you… check your pulse. 😭🔥

Congrats @Bonsie1951. I got into print journalism just after Joe came to Halifax. A true legend from the beginning. If memory serves his replacement at old CHNS was Marty Kingston @voiceofthecats, another legend.

Top 50 without Foghorn Leghorn is a travesty. But Roadrunner at 10 and no Wile E. Coyote is outrageous. Wile E. was the star. Also honourable mention to Ralph (wolf) and San (sheepdog).

The U.S. claiming it was rigged when they didn't win the gold is the very definition of irony.

[CBS News @CBSNews]

American ice dancers Madison Chock and Evan Bates claimed a controversial silver medal at the 2026 Winter Olympics on Wednesday, falling just 1.43 points behind Laurence Fournier Beaudry and Guillaume Cizeron, the duo from France who took the gold.

Now, many experts and fans are calling out the scoring for being unfair. CBS News' @TheKellyOGrady spoke with the U.S. pair about what they'd like to see change in the judging process.

"We deserve to have the judges also giving us their all and for it to be a fair and even playing field," Chock said. https://t.co/oB1ImRMcJh

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

Nikki Haley’s son says naturalized citizens should not be able to hold public office and thinks dual citizenship should be outlawed.

He also agreed with the far-right host Tucker Carlson’s false claim that America “doesn’t seem like an English-speaking country anymore,” adding: “I want to be able to understand everybody. I just do. This is my country.”

[Benny Johnson @bennyjohnson]

BREAKING: The new recent bombshell evidence brought against James Comey could lead to superseding indictments.

Just The News' John Solomon lays out exactly what other indictments Comey could be hit with:

- Destroying evidence before Trump and Kash Patel took over.
- Did Comey talk to people who destroyed evidence?
- Why wasn't Comey's handwritten note given to the Senate or House years ago?
- Authorizing the leaking of classified information.

"You could see a superseding indictment. They tried to get his knowledge about it as a third charge, but failed. Now, there's new evidence to recharge that."

"James Banker told the Postal Inspection Service that Comey authorized him to leak classfied information. The Espionage Act on that is a 10-year statute. Could be added later as well."

COVID vaccines were approved in days instead of years.

1.6M VAERS reports with 38K deaths and the media stays silent.

Natural immunity works. The COVID vaccines are deadly. The American people deserve to know the truth.

FDA approval of MRNA COVID vaccines should be repealed.
