So, basically, 500 million Europeans expect 300 million Americans to protect them from 120 million Russians who can’t even defeat 40 million Ukrainians while those 500 million Europeans don’t even realize they are being conquered by 2 billion Muslims who claim they are being persecuted by 8 million Israelis. Is that about right?

The Brewers are being celebrated like they invented baseball.
They are doing things that have become unusual.
They have an old school tough manager who players love playing for.
They focus on basic easy to understand basic fundamentals.
They have a hitting coach that was an overachieving player for skill that played in the big leagues.
They hit the ball the other way.
They value putting the ball in play.
They adjust their approach based on situation and count.
They are not addicted to exit velocity and launch angle bullshit.
They bunt and steal bases.
They do not have selfish superstars that need to be treated like celebrities.
The Brewers simply play the game how it was meant to be played.
The doctor who delivered Dolly Parton in a one-room Tennessee cabin in 1946 was paid with a sack of cornmeal. Her father farmed other people's land and could not read or write. Eighty years later, the reading program she built in his name has mailed more than 300 million books.
She wrote "I Will Always Love You" on the same afternoon she wrote "Jolene," as a goodbye to Porter Wagoner, and released it in 1974. Elvis wanted it. The night before the session, Colonel Tom Parker called and said Presley would only record it if they got half the publishing, meaning half of everything the song ever earned. She had been in Nashville ten years by then. She said no, and cried all night. Whitney Houston cut her version in 1992, held number one for fourteen weeks, and Forbes later put Parton's royalties from it near $10 million. She put some of that money into an office complex in Nashville and called the place the house that Whitney built.
Dollywood opened in Pigeon Forge in 1986 because she wanted paychecks in the county she came from. Around 4,000 people work there now. Three million visitors come every year. The University of Tennessee put its economic impact at $1.8 billion, and it is the largest employer in Sevier County. Since 2022 the company has paid tuition, fees, and books in full for every worker from their first day, seasonal hires included.
Wildfires tore through those mountains in November 2016, killing fourteen people and destroying more than 2,400 buildings. Her foundation was handing out money within 48 hours. Every family that lost a home got $1,000 a month for six months, regardless of income. The final check was $5,000. Total delivered: $8.9 million.
In April 2020 she sent $1 million to Vanderbilt for coronavirus research. When Moderna's vaccine results ran in the New England Journal of Medicine that November, her fund appeared in the footnotes.
Carl Dean, her husband of nearly sixty years, died in March 2025. The note she wrote to fans afterward ended with the same five words she wrote for Porter Wagoner back in 1974. She died in Nashville today. Her family asked that instead of flowers, people give to the Imagination Library, which still mails 3.4 million books a month to children who will never get to meet her.
🚨 JUST IN: President Trump signs executive order designed to SAVE COLLEGE SPORTS from a financial arms race
- Athletes can only transfer schools one time before they graduate without having to sit out a season
- Athletes can only play up to 5 seasons in a 5 year window
- Aug. 1 effective date
- Federal funding can be STRIPPED from schools who do not comply
Trump just followed through, this is what he promised!
TX lawmakers claimed vouchers would help low‑income families but designed & implemented a system prioritizing the wealthy. Not an accident but a predictable result of a policy bought by billionaires & the politicians who serve them. @TexasAFT@jamestalarico@GinaHinojosaTX
When President George Washington responded to the Whiskey Rebellion with 13,000 troops, the people submitted to the Constitutional authority of the federal government. 24 leaders of the rebellion were convicted of treason.
The Civil War began when South Carolina responded to federal authority with force and their open rebellion continued until force ultimately compelled their compliance.
Make no mistake, sanctuary cities and states are in open rebellion to the sovereignty of the United States. Within their sanctuaries, they have effectively nullified federal authority over citizenship and decisions about the lawful presence of foreign nationals in the United States.
Federal authority must prevail in this clear Constitutional crisis. States have authority over many things - 10th Amendment. But, citizenship and the lawful or unlawful presence of foreign nationals is not one of them. Open rebellion must end, beginning in Minnesota.
Illegal immigration undermines our sovereignty. All accomplices, beginning with Alejandro Mayorkas, must be charged, tried, convicted, and given long sentences. Open rebellion cannot stand!
While the Insurrection Act is fully merited, learn from counterinsurgency operations that the means employed always matter.
Yes, Dean, the 2nd Amendment is essential to defending freedom. However, defending foreign nationals against the lawful enforcement of United States immigration law is open rebellion.
President George Washington cautioned rebels: "not to abet, aid, or comfort the Insurgents aforesaid, as they will answer the contrary at their peril." Thankfully, the Whiskey Rebellion ended peacefully and force wasn't ultimately required.
I pray for the same peaceful outcome in Minnesota: our Constitution prevails and the rebellion stops.
Here it is:
Devin Nunez VINDICATED.
Twenty CIA and FBI agents have blown the whistle, confirming that Barack Hussein Obama and his Chief of Staff, CIA Director John Brennan, created the false Russia hoax, doctored intelligence to overthrow the duly elected president of the United States in 2016, and locked the report in a CIA vault for nearly a decade.
On March 21, 2017, Devin Nunes traveled to the White House and informed President Trump that he was being overthrown.
The following day, March 22, 2017, he stood alone, holding an unexpected press conference confirming that Barack Obama had spied on Trump and the Trump campaign.
On April 17, 2017, Devin Nunes was forced to resign from the House Intelligence Committee’s Obama-Russia inquiry—because Paul Ryan is a piece of garbage.
Now, give the man the Presidential Medal of Freedom—at once.
If we want to stop political violence like what happened to Charlie Kirk, we have to be honest about the people who are celebrating it and the people who are financing it.
My closing remarks on today's episode of the Charlie Kirk Show:
