Women could not talk about pelvic pain, so medicine felt no pressure to look harder at endometriosis.
The stigma and the poor options held each other up.
Dolly Parton broke her half of that in 1982.
Medicine still owes the rest.
Thank you, Dolly.

“You are fighting a hard battle every single day… Life with #chronicillness is anything but easy. And truth be told…you probably don’t voice even a quarter of the pain you’re actually feeling… I see you… I also see your #courage.” https://t.co/mLSIEdfoHE #ChronicPain
The older I get, the more I understand that peace is the real kind of wealth. Not the kind you can stack in a bank or park in the driveway, but the kind that settles in your chest when the world finally slows down a bit. You spend years chasing things you think matter, more money, more stuff, more noise, only to realize none of it quiets your mind the way a simple, still moment can.
That's why I love sitting on the porch. No agenda, no rush. Just watching the day ease into the evening, listening to the wind move through the trees 💚
🚨 The most important video on America 250. No patriot will skip it.
July 5th is more important than July 4th.
America at 250 isn’t just an anniversary.
It’s an inflection point.
For 250 years, Americans have been handed an inheritance unlike any in history. Some generations were called to win our freedom. Others were called to preserve it.
Now it’s our turn.
The future of America won’t be decided by politicians alone. It will be decided by fathers and mothers. Teachers and pastors. Business owners and neighbors. Ordinary people who choose to build instead of tear down.
This series wasn’t about looking backward.
It was about asking what kind of country we’ll leave behind.
🇺🇸 AMERICA AT 250: Built for Freedom
🦅 Final Episode: Now It’s Our Turn
Watch. Follow. Share. And if these six episodes meant something to you, send them to someone who still believes America is worth building.
The most stunningly successful thing about the American experiment is that in the late 1700s, the thirteen colonies were hardly valuable at all.
They had no known great natural resources, they were far from a jewel in the crown of the British Empire.
The British were far more desperate to keep the profitable sugar islands than the thirteen colonies. That’s why upon the entry of the French to the war, peace was sought soon - and the priority was to keep the profitable Caribbean and control of the seas.
In seeking peace, Britain was thinking with its treasury not its heart. War is expensive. And while losing the thirteen colonies was embarrassing, it was not the kind of hit to the British economy that losing other colonies would have represented.
In stark contrast to the relatively barren North America, the Spanish Empire in South America had vast obvious natural resources. Spain extracted gold. But it never built anything to last.
The United States of America proved what far too many countries are yet to understand today.
The wealth of a nation is not in its natural resources. It is not fixed. The world is not zero sum.
America became the wealthiest country on the face of the planet, not thanks to its soil - but thanks to the men who stood on it.
The institutions they built - the English liberties they codified - created the basis for a stable, prosperous, market economy. Freedom under law.
It’s thanks to the systems of government the founders built that the United States became what it is today.
Were any other group of people - with any other ideas about how a society should be structured - to settle that land, America would be like any other country today.
But it isn’t. And that’s thanks to the enlightened ideas of its founding.
Happy Treason Day, cousins. 🇬🇧🇺🇸
World Cup 2026 has been exactly what the US needed, a patriotic infusion heading into our 250th Celebration!
“It was going to flop. Nobody would come. They’ll be giving tickets away. Everybody hates Trump.”
In reality, America, this is the US.💪🇺🇸🔥
