BREAKING: President Trump orders flags to be lowered throughout the U.S. for one week to honor music legend Dolly Parton after her passing.
"This is a true loss for millions of people. There has never been anyone like her, and never will... Rest in Peace, Dolly! The World loves you."
🙏 Born Dolly Rebecca Parton on January 19, 1946, in Sevier County, Tennessee, she was the fourth of 12 children and grew up in a poor family in the Appalachian Mountains.
Parton began performing as a child and moved to Nashville after graduating high school in 1964. Her early success came as a songwriter and later as a performer alongside Porter Wagoner.
Over the following decades, she became one of the most successful country artists in history.
Her best-known songs include “Jolene,” “Coat of Many Colors,” “9 to 5” and “I Will Always Love You.” Her music crossed from country into mainstream popular culture, and she also built a successful acting career with films including 9 to 5, The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas and Steel Magnolias.
Outside entertainment, Parton became a successful businesswoman. Dollywood, the Tennessee theme park bearing her name, became a major tourist attraction and employer in the region where she grew up.
In 1995, she founded Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library in honor of her father, who could not read or write. The program grew from a local effort in Tennessee into an international organization that has distributed hundreds of millions of free books to young children.
Parton received numerous honors during her career, including induction into the Country Music Hall of Fame and Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, multiple Grammy Awards, the Kennedy Center Honors and the National Medal of Arts.
She married Carl Dean in 1966. They remained married until his death in March 2025.
Dolly Parton’s life stretched from a childhood without many material advantages in rural Tennessee to international fame, considerable business success and decades of charitable work.
Whatever anyone thought of her music or celebrity, her impact on American entertainment is undeniable.

🚨BREAKING: The U.S. military is preparing for the first execution in more than 60 years — and Army Major Nidal Hasan is on the list.
Hasan carried out the 2009 Fort Hood massacre, killing 13 people (including an unborn child) and wounding more than 30 others while shouting “Allahu Akbar.” He targeted unarmed soldiers at a readiness processing center as they prepared for deployment.
He was convicted of 13 counts of premeditated murder and 32 counts of attempted premeditated murder, stripped of his rank, and sentenced to death. He has been on death row at Fort Leavenworth for over a decade and has shown no remorse.
The Army has developed plans (including “Operation Resolute Justice”) to carry out military executions if authorized by the President. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has publicly expressed commitment to seeing Hasan’s death sentence carried out. Hasan’s final appeals have been exhausted.
If approved and carried out, it would mark the first U.S. military execution since 1961.
Thirteen American service members never came home because of Hasan’s jihadist attack on his own fellow soldiers. Justice has been delayed for far too long.
Today is August 25, 2026 - the streets are SAFE, the border is CLOSED, we’re BUILDING things in America again, and Donald J. Trump is the President of the United States of America. 🇺🇸
Turns out Texas isn’t willing to embrace a liar who wants to trans children, return to catch and release, and doesn’t even know how many counties are in their district.
We raised more in 45 days than she has her whole career, and before it’s even spent, we’re up by 6 points 🇺🇸
President Trump just issued a MAJOR WARNING to American schools:
"Every public school in America is now on notice that if they tell a child that they're trapped in the wrong body, they are committing child abuse"
