NEW: Country music star and U.S. Marine Corps veteran Jamey Johnson performed “In Color” during the National Memorial Day Concert.
I didn’t realize he served. RESPECT. 🇺🇸
This song gets me everytime. Both of grandpa’s funeral videos featured this song.
Today is our nations Memorial Day. Enjoy your day and take a moment to remember the true meaning of this day. A day to pay our respects to all those who have given their lives in our country's defense. God bless these brave heroes and their families.
James Madison described the powers of the federal government as “few and defined” and those reserved to the states as “numerous and indefinite.”
We’ve been dangerously drifting from that understanding since the 1930s.
The drift has been most evident in areas now most fraught with waste, fraud, and abuse.
If we honored the Constitution’s limits on federal power, there’d be very little waste, fraud, and abuse in our national government.
Share if you’d like to see a “constitutional reset,” in which any government function that’s not obviously and necessarily federal under the Constitution would be returned “to the states respectively, or to the people,” as the Tenth Amendment specifies.
@Genius Well my buckle makes impressions
On the inside of her thigh
There are little feathered Indians
Where we tussled through the night
If I'd known she was religious
Then I wouldn't have came stoned
To the house of such an angel
Too fucked up to get back home
Eric Church on writing his viral UNC commencement speech:
“Trial and error. Frustration. One night I picked up my guitar just to get away from it… hit all six strings and thought, what if I made the whole speech out of this?”
Then he dropped timeless truth:
Faith. Family. Spouse. Community. Resilience. Individuality.
These aren’t new ideas — they’re the foundation blocks that built strong lives for generations.
But today? Kids are glued to phones, YouTube, and gaming. No filter. So he used the guitar to cut through the noise and actually reach them.
Real. Personal. Rooted.
Exactly why this speech is blowing up.
Country music still delivering the medicine America needs. Respect, Eric
Mike Pence: "I think Republicans ought to do a lot of soul-searching" before 2028
"I think Republicans face a new time of choosing — whether we're going to stay on the path of the traditional conservative principles that have always defined our party for the last half century, or whether we're going to follow the siren song of populism"
"We've always been a party committed to low taxes, including low tariffs and free trade. Now, as we witnessed, the president imposed unilateral tariffs on friend and foe alike until the Supreme Court stepped in and used the Constitution to turn him back."
"I know Donald Trump better than his most ardent defenders know him. Okay? And he is not ideological. In fact, he often bristled when I would refer to policies as conservative. He would, with a wave of a hand, say to me, 'That's just common sense.' But now, as you see the stops and starts on our support for Ukraine under this administration, nationalizing American businesses, unilateral tariffs, price controls on everything from pharmaceuticals to credit cards, all of this should should create a backdrop for a very healthy debate over whether we're going to stay moving in the direction, on these issues, that President Trump has led our party, or whether we're going to re-ground ourselves back to those timeless conservative principles, I think, that have always made not only our party successful but, more importantly, have made America strong and prosperous and free."
