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 🇺🇸
🚨 SICKENING: I’m sick and tired of watching churches burn.
Now a historic Cleveland house of worship dating back to the 1890s has been reduced to ruins. More than a century of history, gone.
And Christians are supposed to just shrug and move along?
No. Every church fire deserves a serious investigation. If it’s an accident, prove it. If it’s arson, hunt down whoever did it and prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law.
Christians should never become numb to attacks on our churches.
Enough is enough.
Protect our churches. Defend our faith. Demand answers.
🔥 WOW! Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas drops the mic on people saying him being black means he needs to think a certain way
"I'm not confused. YOU'RE confused. You're confused with someone who's been in indentured servitude!"
"I DECLINE that invitation. Now, that means I'm a walking contradiction because I've deviated from THEIR perception of what I should think?"
"I really didn't like people saying, you have to do this. You have to do that. We had this saying that there are only two things I have to do. Stay black and die."
"These MANDATES for us because of our skin color."
"Here's your skin color. There's this kind of deterministic view that you're supposed to think of this because we say so!"
Clarence Thomas is the GOAT!
Sophie Cunningham doesn’t need the WNBA nearly as much as the WNBA needs Sophie Cunningham.
Major endorsements. Podcasts. Her own media company. Apparel and lifestyle brands. Equity deals. Broadcasting. She could build an empire outside basketball that dwarfs what she makes playing it.
So anyone thinking pushing Sophie out of the league would somehow destroy her career is missing the bigger picture.
Keep building that brand and ten years from now, she might not need a roster spot.
She might be buying the team.
🚨 ENES KANTER FREEDOM JUST DROPPED THE TRUTH ON LAURA INGRAHAM:
He was at the Chicago Sky game supporting Sophie Cunningham.
When Sophie hit a shot, he simply raised his hand to celebrate.
Natasha Cloud saw it, came over, and yelled: “She’s not going to sleep with you.”
Then she started dropping F-bombs in front of kids and teenagers in the stands.
Enes stood up with his hands open and said he was there to protect women and support his friend.
Security threw him out.
Not Cloud.
Him.
This is the WNBA in 2026.
🚨The Shariah-ruling arm of the Muslim Brotherhood just issued a fatwa unlocking $140 million a year in zakat from American Muslims specifically to finance Muslim candidates for the U.S. House and Senate.
This is political warfare funded by religious obligation.
They are not integrating. They are organizing.
America, are you paying attention yet?
