"LAST NIGHT: George Clooney attacked Dolly Parton — and received a brutal “lesson” he won’t soon forget.-BN

George Clooney thought he could easily score public points by attacking Dolly Parton over her views on patriotism, traditional values, and the direction of American culture. But this time, he picked the wrong opponent.

Known as one of America’s most beloved entertainment icons, Dolly Parton didn’t just respond — she delivered a powerful message about freedom of thought, personal responsibility, and respect for everyday Americans.

“George Clooney says I’m dividing people with my opinions,” Dolly Parton began in a calm but firm tone. “But what truly divides this country is mocking anyone who thinks differently and pretending only one side deserves to be heard.”

And she didn’t stop there.

“You know what’s even more dangerous?” Parton continued. “Using fame and influence to shame ordinary people simply because they refuse to follow Hollywood’s political script.”

Then Dolly Parton went even further, speaking as someone who has spent decades in the entertainment industry watching public debate become increasingly toxic and hostile toward opposing viewpoints.

“It’s not different opinions that weaken a nation,” Parton said. “What weakens it is fear, intolerance, and teaching people to hate one another because of politics.”

At that point, this was no longer just another celebrity feud — it became a larger conversation about free speech, division, and the future of public discourse in America. Instead of backing down, Dolly Parton turned the confrontation into a broader debate about the values the country should defend.

“I’m not perfect,” Parton admitted. “I’ve made mistakes. But I will always believe that a strong country is one where people can speak freely, disagree openly, and still respect each other as fellow Americans.”

And then came the line that many fans said they would never forget:

“America was not built on fear or hatred between citizens. It was built on courage, freedom, and the belief that people with different views could still move forward together. So ask yourselves — who is really trying to unite this country?”

What began as a celebrity attack quickly turned into something much bigger: a message about unity, responsibility, and the future of America.

George Clooney thought he could attack Dolly Parton… but what she said next shocked the nation. Don’t miss her jaw-dropping response—click to see history being made:

MASSIVE news: Target is ending many of their woke policies. I can now exclusively tell you what’s changing and how it happened.

Recently executives @Target found out I was doing a story on wokeness there. When we learned they were prepared to make changes, we shifted our focus to those changes instead.

Below are the changes that Target committed to. I have to give their executives credit for making these changes because it will send shockwaves in certain sectors of corporate America.

Here are the changes:

• Surveys: Target will no longer participate in the HRC’s woke Corporate Equality Index or any other DEI index.

• Products: Target will not market Pride merchandise to kids going forward, this was not in their statement today but confirmed to me by a Target rep via phone today.

• Sponsorships: Target will "further evaluate corporate partnerships to ensure they are directly connected to our roadmap for growth" — you should read this as no sponsoring events that sexualize kids!

• DEI: Target will end their 3 year DEI goals.

• Supplier Diversity: There will be no preferential treatment for diverse suppliers.

• Target will end their Racial Equity Action and Change (REACH) initiatives in 2025.

• ERG’s: Target employee resource groups will be expected to focus on the core business, mentorship and growth, not wokeness.

Target has 415,000+ employees and a market cap of nearly $65B. This won’t just create a healthier environment for employees who will have a neutral workplace without feeling that divisive issues are being injected but it will also extend to their many suppliers who will no longer feel pressure to endorse these policies.

We’ve now changed policy at companies worth nearly $4 Trillion dollars, with many millions of employees who have better workplace environments as a result. With both Target and Walmart cutting woke policies, Amazon should be increasingly worried about losing market share to them as conservative and independent consumers take their money to Walmart and Target instead of Amazon. Amazon also needs to worry about their position as a government contractor given their abhorrent DEI policies.

We are winning and one by one we WILL bring sanity back to corporate America.

Our campaigns are now so effective that we’re getting the biggest companies on earth to change their policies without me even posting a story outlining their woke policies. Companies can clearly see that America wants normalcy back. The era of wokeness is dying right in front of our eyes. The landscape of corporate America is quickly shifting to sanity and neutrality. We are the trend, not the anomaly.

So far you’ve helped me change corporate policy at Tractor Supply, John Deere, Harley Davidson, Polaris, Indian Motorcycle, Lowe’s, Ford, Coors, Stanley Black & Decker, Jack Daniels, DeWalt tools, Craftsman, Caterpillar, Boeing, Toyota, Walmart, McDonald’s, META and now TARGET! We’re a force to be reckoned with and we won’t stop until wokeness is extinct.

Share to make sure everyone knows this is happening so that we keep this movement growing. Also, feel free to download this video and spread it on all platforms. You have my permission to do so.
