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 🇺🇸
Good afternoon from Galilee,
Although I am not feeling well and had to remain home today, I felt compelled to share this short message.
I woke up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat, my stomach aching from a dream that was both bitter and sweet.
Bitter - because I saw the depth of the abyss into which this world is plunging.
Sweet - because I saw the shaking awaken many and cause them to run to God.
In both Israel and America, we are witnessing a strong delusion. September 11 and October 7 were not strong enough warning signs for our nations.
Israel’s most crucial election is approaching. If the left wins, it may once again form a government dependent on Ra’am - the political arm of the Southern Islamic Movement, whose ideological roots are in the Muslim Brotherhood. Even after October 7, Ra’am chairman Mansour Abbas refused to state clearly that Hamas is a terrorist organization that must be destroyed. Returning such a party to a position of power would be the greatest reward terrorism has ever received.
America is becoming almost unrecognizable. New York City is now led by a Shia Muslim mayor with a long record of anti-Israel activism, support for BDS, and hostility toward the Jewish state.
Two of Mamdani’s close political allies reflect the disturbing culture surrounding him. Hasan Piker declared during a livestream that “America deserved 9/11.” Mehdi Hasan tweeted, “Make American Planes Crash Again,” following a series of fatal aviation accidents.
Before September 11, New York City had just over 100 mosques. By 2014, estimates had already reached 350 - and the number has continued to grow since then. Mosques are now permitted to broadcast amplified Islamic calls to prayer on Fridays and during Ramadan.
The coming midterm elections will help determine what America will soon become.
Daniel became sick after his vision. Isaiah was seized with pain. Jeremiah agonized within. Habakkuk trembled. John ate the scroll that was sweet in his mouth but bitter in his stomach. Yet they looked beyond the darkness and trusted God’s sovereign plan.
Today, I choose to do the same:
“Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth.”
Colossians 3:2
This world is a reflection of man’s heart:
“The heart is deceitful above all things,
And desperately wicked;
Who can know it?”
Jeremiah 17:9
But God…
There is hope - and the only hope is in Yeshua.
He is on the throne.
His Word is true.
His promises will be fulfilled.
Our redemption is drawing near!
Awaiting His Soon Return,
Amir
Good morning from Galilee.
Yes, unfortunately, I am still sick in bed, so I won’t be able to go live on camera this evening.
My dream from two nights ago is still affecting me in a way I cannot explain.
I’ve been saying this for years, including during our recent Q&A this past Monday:
The Islamic-communist alliance in America and uncontrolled immigration in Europe are about to plunge these two regions into unprecedented chaos!
This will serve as the catalyst for the demise of America’s superpower status and the rise of the Antichrist from Western Europe.
And Israel?
My Bible tells me that Israel will become safer and more prosperous on the eve of the war that will change everything.
Will that happen because the right wins, making us stronger and more resilient? Or because the left wins, causing our enemies to go quiet and sharpen their swords without being pounded as they prepare?
The bottom line is this - the Word of God will be fulfilled!
We may not always like what we see, but we must hold on to two truths:
First - We must always be workers of righteousness and never grow weary in doing good. That includes voting. God commands us to choose life:
“I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing - therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live.”
Deuteronomy 30:19
Second - We must always trust that God is in full control. Things are not falling apart - they are falling into place:
“Remember the former things of old,
For I am God, and there is no other;
I am God, and there is none like Me,
Declaring the end from the beginning,
And from ancient times things that are not yet done,
Saying, ‘My counsel shall stand,
And I will do all My pleasure.’”
Isaiah 46:9-10
And yes, we are going to be disappointed by people - perhaps even by election results that may be tainted by fraud and corruption. But what is new under the sun?
Elijah reached a point at which he almost gave up. Yet the Lord encouraged him spiritually, sustained him physically, and sent him forward to continue his ministry. Elijah remained faithful until the day God took him up to heaven in the most spectacular way!
Like Elijah, we may feel alone, but God reminds us that He has reserved 7,000 others who have not bowed the knee. They are on His side, as are we.
Awaiting His Soon Return,
Amir
The most terrifying thing about Noah’s Ark isn’t the flood.
It’s the boat.
God gave exact length. Exact width. Exact wood. Exact pitch.
No steering wheel. No sail. No engine.
Noah was not the captain.
He was cargo…
🚨 SHOCKING TRUTH ABOUT YOUR GUT THAT THEY TRIED TO BURY
Gut health isn’t just “important” — it’s the foundation of your immunity, brain, and survival. And modern life is systematically destroying it. In Senate testimony, Dr. Sabine Hazan dropped this bombshell from her research:Severe COVID patients had near-zero Bifidobacteria.
People with autism, Alzheimer’s, Crohn’s, Lyme, IBS, mental health disorders, and invasive cancer? Same thing — they all lack this critical gut bacteria.
Even worse: Only about 25% of newborns today have sufficient levels of these protective microbes (healthy babies should start with nearly 98%). The rest are born already depleted — setting the stage for lifelong disease.What destroys Bifidobacteria?
mRNA vaccines were shown to sharply slash these levels (award-winning data presented to 18,000 gastroenterologists). Other modern factors (antibiotics, C-sections, stress, environmental toxins) pile on the damage.
The good news they don’t want you hearing: Vitamin C, bovine immunoglobulin, and ivermectin (a fermented product from Streptomyces bacteria) can help restore Bifidobacteria.
Dr. Hazan even published a hypothesis that ivermectin works partly by feeding these good bacteria… and it was retracted in 2023.
Her words:
“When a hypothesis is retracted, we’ve lost science and medicine.”Follow the disappearance of Bifidobacteria and you start to understand why disease — especially cancer and neurological conditions — is exploding.
Restoring it has even brought speech back to non-verbal autistic twins in her observations.Your gut is under attack. Protect it like your life depends on it — because it does.
Angela Merkel admitted on camera that she deliberately flooded Germany with Muslim migrants to “stop the far-right.”
She preferred to erase her own people and put them in danger rather than risk losing power.
This wasn’t an accident. It was calculated demographic replacement.
I know why everything sucks...
...and it's because everything is fake
We are voting for fake candidates, who run on fake promises, inside a fake system that was never designed to fix anything.
We are raising kids in fake schools that teach fake history, fake science, which quietly produce fake adults who can't think for themselves.
Then they are getting fake college degrees that cost 4 years and six figures that teach fake education and they get fake jobs.
We are eating fake food, with fake ingredients, funded by fake research.
We are scrolling through fake lives, with fake relationships, who take fake, curated vacations to promote brands that make fake products.
We are watching fake news, about fake crises, produced by fake journalists, for fake outrage.
We are borrowing fake money that was printed from nothing, to fund a fake economy that would collapse in an afternoon if people stopped pretending it was real.
We are buying fake organic food that's just a paid label, and drinking fake juice with two percent juice in it, and putting fake cheese on cheeseburgers that's just "cheese product" on fake burger meat.
We are donating to fake nonprofits where the moeny never makes it to the people and then funding fake foreign aid that buys real weapons to prop up fake governments.
We are going to fake therapy that teaches fake coping skills instead of telling you hard truths.
We are buying fake furniture made of fake wood that's actually compressed sawdust and glue that looks like wood, ships in fourteen boxes with instructions written in a fake language that isn't quite any language, requires tools it doesn't include, takes 4 hours to build, wobbles on day 1, and is totally destroyed in 6 months.
We are downloading fake "free" apps that charge a subscription after three days for AI features that don't work, hidden behind a paywall we didn't see, protected by a privacy policy we didn't read, buried inside Terms of Service written by lawyers specifically so we wouldn't read them, that we agreed to by tapping a button the size of a thumbnail, that gave a company we've never heard of the right to sell our data to companies we'll never hear of, to build a profile on us we'll never see, to influence decisions we'll never know were made.
IT. IS. ALL. SO. FREAKING. FAKE.
And we all yearn for what was once real.
Don't you remember? Did you forget?
There was a time with a simple handshake between men was a contract.
When bread went stale because... well, that's what real bread does!
When kids played outside all day until it was dark, and nobody tracked them.
When a family could live off a single income.
When music was made by people who LIVED something real and you could feel it.
When schools was HARD... and that was the point!
When doctors knew your name and your family, they even came to your house,
When you bought something once... and it was yours forever.
When the chair your grandmother bought once lasted 70 years and she passed it onto your dad.
And now nothing is real, and that's why everything sucks.
I read this on fb and I wanted to share it with you all. Nailed it on the head. 👇
As I had my morning coffee, I realized that everything is about to change. No matter how I vote, no matter what I say, something evil has invaded our nation, and our lives are never going to be the same.
I have been confused by the hostility of family and friends. I look at people I have known all my life--so hate-filled that they agree with opinions they would never express as their own. I think that I may well have entered the Twilight Zone.
You can't justify this insanity. We have become a nation that has lost its collective mind!
• If a man pretends to be a woman, you are required to pretend with him.
• Somehow it’s un-American for the census to count how many Americans are in America.
• Russians influencing our elections are bad, but illegals voting in our elections are good.
• It was cool for Joe Biden to "blackmail" the President of Ukraine, but it’s an impeachable offense if Donald Trump inquires about it.
• People who have never owned slaves should pay slavery reparations to people who have never been slaves.
• People who have never been to college should pay the debts of college students who took out huge loans for their degrees.
• Immigrants with tuberculosis and polio are welcome, but you’d better be able to prove your dog is vaccinated.
• Irish doctors and German engineers who want to immigrate to the US must go through a rigorous vetting process, but any illiterate gang-bangers who jump the southern fence are welcome.
• $5 billion for border security is too expensive, but $1.5 trillion for “free” health care is not.
• If you cheat to get into college you go to prison, but if you cheat to get into the country you go to college for free.
• People who say there is no such thing as gender are demanding a female President.
• We see other countries going Socialist and collapsing, but it seems like a great plan to us.
• Some people are held responsible for things that happened before they were born, and other people are not held responsible for what they are doing right now.
• Criminals are caught-and-released to hurt more people, but stopping them is bad because it's a violation of THEIR rights.
• And pointing out all this hypocrisy somehow makes us "racists"?!
Nothing makes sense anymore, no values, no morals, no civility and people are dying of a Chinese virus, but it racist to refer to it as Chinese even though it began in China.
We are clearly living in an upside down world where right is wrong and wrong is right, where moral is immoral and immoral is moral, where good is evil and evil is good, where killing murderers is wrong, but killing innocent babies is right.
Wake up America, the great unsinkable ship Titanic America has hit an iceberg, is taking on water, and is sinking fast. The choice is yours to make. What will it be? Time is short, make your choice wisely!
The woman behind me at the grocery store asked if she could go ahead of me.
She only had one item.
A birthday card.
"Of course," I said.
She thanked me, paid, and hurried out.
As I was unloading my cart, the cashier looked at the card she'd just scanned and quietly smiled.
"She buys one every year."
"For her husband?" I asked.
The cashier shook her head.
"For her son."
I assumed he was a kid waiting in the car.
"He died when he was twelve," she said.
The cashier noticed my expression and quickly added, "She told me I could share. People ask every year."
Apparently, the woman had started a tradition after her son passed away.
Every year on his birthday, she'd buy him a card.
Not because she could give it to him.
Because writing to him made her feel like she was still part of his life.
She'd take the card home, write everything that had happened over the past year, seal it, and place it in a memory box with all the others.
No one else ever read them.
A few minutes later, I saw her loading groceries into her car.
The birthday card was sitting on the passenger seat.
For a second, I thought about walking over to tell her how sorry I was.
Instead, I got into my own car.
🇺🇸 🇮🇷 Rubio names the war's real stakes: let Iran toll the strait, and 150 years of global trade rules die with it.
"If we create a precedent where a nation-state can control an international waterway, charge a toll, and blow up your ships if you don't pay, we've created a very dangerous precedent that will repeat itself.
What's at stake is freedom of navigation.
If that's threatened, the global economy is threatened, and the rules that have underpinned 150 years of international trade are threatened.
That cannot be allowed to happen."
This is the administration saying the war's true subject: not the ships, the precedent.
A chokepoint successfully captured and tolled by force teaches every coastal power on Earth, from the South China Sea to the Bosphorus, that the American guarantee is negotiable, and everything priced on that guarantee reprices with it.
Rubio just framed 11 nights of strikes as the defense of the world order itself.

🚨 SHOCKING 🚨
A recent study took healthy women with 0 history of breast cancer.
Then, they removed ONE single thing from their routine.
After only 28 days?
A cancer-related gene in their normal breast tissue was GONE.
Here’s what they removed from the routine: 🧵
Something has never added up in Fulton County. They officially reported 59,000 Election Day votes on Nov 3, 2020 but as of 5 pm that day only 14,152 people voted. That means 45,000 people rushed to the polls in the final two hours of vote. That simply did not happen because local news crews were all over Fulton polls. This anomaly has still yet to be explained by Fulton County or the Secretary of State.
WW2 Heroes Get Front-Row Seats to America’s 250 Fireworks — (Video: AI)
In a moment that hits the heart, the World War II veterans honored during President Trump’s powerful speech got to watch the spectacular 250th anniversary fireworks display right from their own memorial.
This is respect.
This is beautiful.
This is America.
God bless these WW2 heroes. Do you feel the pure patriotism? 🇺🇸❤️
The vote that would create the United States was deadlocked, and the man who could break the tie was eighty miles away, dying of cancer, on the wrong side of a thunderstorm.
His name was Caesar Rodney. On the first of July 1776, while Congress argued itself toward independence in Philadelphia, he was stuck back in Delaware. He was tamping down Loyalist trouble, in constant pain from the cancer eating at his face and fighting for breath due to his asthma.
Then the letter came. Delaware's two delegates in Congress were split. One for independence, one against. Without a tiebreaker, the colonies would not stand united. And a divided front was exactly what the Crown was counting on.
He did not hesitate. He climbed onto his horse near midnight and rode straight into the storm. Lightning split the sky. The roads turned to sludge. A journey that normally took two days but he made it in eighteen hours. He stopped only to change horses, soaked with every mile.
He reached Independence Hall on the morning of July 2 just as the vote was called, still in his boots and spurs. Caked in mud. Thomas McKean never forgot the sight of him standing in the doorway.
Rodney walked in and cast his vote for independence. It broke Delaware's tie, and with that, not a single colony stood against the break from Britain.
On this day, 250 years ago, a dying man rode all night through a storm so America could be born.
America 250 🇺🇸
