I'm sorry we never got a chance to meet, but getting this note from Dolly really had a an impact on me. She definitely didn't have to take the time to do it. Even for a kid who mostly listened to rap music, she was an icon. A superstar in every sense. Rest easy Dolly. And thank you for the kind words.
HOLY CR@P! NANCY PELOSI'S BEING SUED FOR $350 MILLION BY JANUARY 6 PATRIOTS THAT ARE CLAIMING IT WAS A COORDINATED SET UP! THIS IS JUSTICE! DO YOU SUPPORT THIS?
Your entire nation has a lower annual GDP than Texas.
You need us a lot more than we need you.
CCP Carney would rather plunge his nation into poverty than negotiate with President Trump.
WTF?
Best Buy refused to sell this man a laptop cause he said “thank you sir” to some man pretending to be a woman.
I’m tagging @BestBuy so we can all let them know how you feel about this.
BREAKING: Enes Kanter Freedom has sent a letter to WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert requesting answers to 5 questions after his ejection from the Fever vs Sky Game & ban from the arena:
1. Identify the policy, rule, directive, or instruction relied upon in treating certain spectators,
including me, differently when we express a viewpoint that appears unpopular with the
WNBA

4. Provide a full refund of the cost of my courtside tickets
5. Preserve all materials relating to this incident, including relevant video footage, incident or security reports, communications concerning my attendance or removal, communications referring to my WNBA Draft announcement or public advocacy for women’s sports, and

Freedom is giving them 5 business days to respond.
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 Imagination Library was the best contribution to child literacy ever made by a celebrity. Our paths crossed once, in the 90s, backstage at a talk show, and I was completely tongue-tied and starstruck. RIP Dolly. You were a complete, irreplaceable one-off.
Enes Kanter, one of the bravest women I know, just got kicked out of a @wnba game after being cursed out by a Chicago player. Is this any way for one woman to treat another?! I can’t believe this league is real.
🚨 BREAKING: Enes Kanter Freedom Just got EJECTED from Fever-Sky Game as Chicago Sky Player Tried Fighting With Him Court-Side.
This is absolutely INSANE.
The WNBA has a BIG problem on their hands.
🚨 HOLY CRAP! Former NBA star Enes Kanter Freedom was just EJECTED from a WNBA game for wearing a shirt with the definition of “WOMAN” on it
You’re a freaking LEGEND, @EnesFreedom 🔥
ENES: “I just got kicked out of a @WNBA game for supporting WOMEN! Let that sink in, AMERICA!”
Look at his wingspan. Look how he towers over the girls. It just makes the insanity all the more obvious.
The @WNBA is unsalvageable at this point.
I stand with @EnesFreedom.
I got my revenge after being heavily booed in Portland. 🔥🏀
Booed hard. Answered even harder. 😤
Me and Caitlin Clark silenced the crowd with our performance. 👀🔥
That’s how you respond on the court. 💯
