In 1988 Dolly Parton pulled every 7th and 8th grader in Sevier County into a room and told them to pick a buddy.

She made them sign a contract.. if BOTH graduate, she hands you both $500. One fails, nobody gets paid.

The county dropout rate went from 35% to 6%.

She handed out the checks herself.

In 1989 she offered $500 to every kid in the county who wanted to go to the local college.

When Gatlinburg burned in 2016, she sent 900 families $1,000 a month for six months.

You've probably heard that part.

Here's the part you haven't:

The fund raised more than expected, so she showed up in May and handed every one of those families another $5,000 on top.

Then she quietly put $3 million into the recovery group that handles the years after the news trucks leave.

She built her county an entire hospital.

She played a benefit concert in 2007, Dollywood and the Stampede matched it, and LeConte Medical Center opened in 2010 with a birthing unit and a women's center in it.

In 2022 she started covering 100% of tuition, books, and fees for Dollywood employees.

Full-time, part-time, AND seasonal.

In 1991 she paid for a bald eagle sanctuary because the birds couldn't be released back into the wild, no press release.

And when Hurricane Helene came through here in Western North Carolina, she wrote a personal check for $1 million and her companies matched it.

She didn't owe North Carolina anything, but she helped us anyway.

She started the Imagination Library because her daddy couldn't read or write. Before he passed, he told her it was the most important thing she ever did.

Rest in Peace, Dolly 🇺🇸

Dolly Parton's family asked that, in lieu of flowers, fans make a donation to the singer's Imagination Library.

Here's what the charity does ⬇️

A message from the family of Dolly Parton.

[Miley Official @MileyCyrusBz]

It was revealed that Dolly Parton was secretly battling cancer but she didn't say anything and instead released this song as one of her last to raise funds for children with cancer. Even while she was sick she was still thinking about others. I’m absolutely devastated.

If baking a cake for a gay wedding is endorsing homosexuality, then voting for a pedophile is endorsing pedophilia.

Donald Trump is OFFICIALLY a rapist.

His FINAL appeal in his sexual assault case has been DENIED.

He is now the first President in U.S. History to be found liable for sexual assault.

What a disgrace.

1. Why is the bot-like girl standing there with her hand on her stomach?

2. Why are RFK's hands shaking do badly?

3. Sleepy Don is full on crashed out.

4. Why do people try to pretend this is normal?

For those keeping score:

Kristi Noem: out
Pam Bondi: out
Tulsi Gabbard: out
Karoline Leavitt: out

Carrying water for the patriarchy will never earn you a seat at the fucking table.

Happy birthday to a president who can still bank with Capital One.

I hope you’re sitting down for this.

The shooter at the In-N-Out Burger in Twin Falls, Idaho that killed 3 people and injured 2 people is a Republican, white male.

I’m as shocked as you are.

A fully masked ICE agent pepper sprayed a woman in New York yesterday merely for videotaping.

This is what tyranny looks like in Trump’s America. Imagine if Biden had Trump supporters pepper sprayed for videotaping.

Rep. Ted Lieu played Pam Bondi video of Trump partying with Epstein and asked if underage girls were present. Bondi snapped: This is ridiculous. There’s no evidence Trump committed a crime. Lieu fired back: I believe you just lied under oath

Seems like a good time to remind everyone that the United States Women's National Soccer Team has won 4 World Cups.

🇺🇲 Donald Trump: "I am also a defender of the rights of Iranian women, they love me..."

​🇮🇷 Iran: "He is a pedophile, everyone knows how he looks at women and young girls, and he attacks innocent countries just to keep this from being heard..."

[Ford News @FordJohnathan5]

MAGA: Trump isnt a rapist.

Supreme Court: Yes he is.
