An apt day to remember that Dolly Parton once recorded a cover of Stairway to Heaven - and, in defiance of every moral law in the universe, she absolutely owned it.

One of the all-time great Rock Hall moments: Dolly’s “Jolene” with Rob Halford (Judas Priest), Pat Benatar, Annie Lennox, Simon Le Bon (Duran Duran), Pink, and Sheryl Crow. Zac Brown Band held it down as the house band. Rest easy, Dolly 🤘

This clip is from 2016, and I was sounding the alarm back then.

Race and gender are both social constructs that create more problems than they solve. Life is for focusing on real things you can change, not creating stories about things you cannot.

Precisely
Words are not violence. When you pretend that views that oppose your own are violence, you are justifying the use of actual violence towards the speaker. Gender ideology’s reliance on tropes and slogans like ‘words are violence’, its constant rationalisation and justification of using force against opponents and its preference for enforcing compliance through fear rather than permitting debate, are straight out of fascism’s playbook. ‘The function of propaganda is . . . not to weigh and ponder the rights of different people, but exclusively to emphasize the one right which it has set out to argue for. Its task is not to make an objective study of the truth, in so far as it favors the enemy, and then set it before the masses with academic fairness; its task is to serve our own right, always and unflinchingly.’ The words are Hitler’s, but I must have seen trans activists say the same thing, barely rephrased, a thousand times. Your movement seeks to remove rights from others. It is anti-truth and critical thinking, pro-violence, pro-dehumanisation of those who disagree with you, and you are so lacking in self-awareness you cannot see that you are precisely what you pretend to hate.

Charlie Kirk gets a public execution in front of the world for speaking the truth. Iryna Zarutska gets stabbed in the neck for being white. Trump gets shot in the head and barely makes it out alive for standing up against the system. The far left is responsible for all of this. The media is complicit. Anyone who supports them is part of the problem. IT IS TIME TO TAKE OUR COUNTRY BACK‼️

This is exactly why trust in the mainstream media is at an all-time low — and why so many people hate Trump without even knowing why. They literally cropped the photo to push a false narrative and smear him. They’re not reporting. They’re manipulating.

Did everyone hear @POTUS say that “title I, Pell Grants, and resources for students with special needs will NOT be cut. It’s common sense.” AMAZING JOB!!

When you invest massive amounts of money and see no return, you call it a bad investment. When the federal government does it, they call it the Department of Education.
If you’re worried about Trump ending the Department of Education, ask yourself - what has that department even been doing?

.@POTUS announces that the Department of Education's useful functions such as Pell Grants, Title 1 funding, and resources for children with disabilities will be FULLY preserved and moved to other agencies and departments.

Trump held 96 rallies in 2024. CNN aired one of them live. Butler, Pennsylvania. What are the odds?
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
By exploring archive.org, we can see that CNN aired at least 4 other rallies live before Butler, Pennsylvania: June 18, 2024 archive.org/details/CNNW_2… June 22, 2024 archive.org/details/CNNW_2… June 28, 2024 archive.org/details/CNNW_2… July 9, 2024. archive.org/details/CNNW_2…

I've written this a couple times and deleted it, but here it goes... I live in Western North Carolina. I watched Joe Biden hand out billions of dollars to Ukraine. Yet, nearly every single day here, we would get calls from families with young kids who lost their homes, begging for shelter. During those months, I truly lost all hope. I watched BILLIONS of dollars go out the door to another country's war, while we were driving RVs to KIDS AND THEIR PARENTS living in tents, garages, a tool sheds. You will never convince me that Ukraine deserved billions while American citizens in Western North Carolina had to beg each other for help. Unless you lived through that experience... unless you personally dropped off an RV at the doorstep of American mountain momma and her kids who lost everything, like I did... ...you do NOT get to tell me what we "owe" Ukraine I wasn't a MAGA person back then. I was honestly a stuck-up jerk who thought I was better than you because I got my news from "the experts". I couldn't have been more wrong. Once you see the media turn on you, your own government abandon you, the bubble begins to burst. Then, you can't unsee it. "America First" isn't just a slogan. It's a blood-curling-scream into the night for all of us who were abandoned by our own government when we needed it the most... That's why I'm MAGA now.

HILARIOUS! Senator Thom Tillis created a bingo card of all the lies Democrats will bring up about Kash Patel. "I've already X'ed out four boxes in the opening statements alone." 😂

🚨President Trump blocked $45 MILLION in DEI scholarships to Burma: “That’s a lot of money for diversity in Burma. You can imagine where that money went. We want the money to flow to proper places.”
