Hillbilly Elegance: Barbara Walters did Dolly Parton a big favor that people in the 21st century just don’t understand

by

Dolly Parton’s death brought out the best in people. The Royal Family posted a video of a royal band of some sort playing 9 to 5 in tribute. The tweet said, “Remembering the late, great Dolly, who brought joy, comfort and inspiration to so many—including the millions of children given free books through her Imagination Library. We will always ❤️ you.”

Country legend Randy Travis and wife honor Dolly Parton as ‘The Queen’

by

In a CNN exclusive, Dolly Parton’s dear friend Randy Travis, who is a legendary country music singer and songwriter in his own right, shares memories of the late superstar. Travis and his wife Mary tell Erin Burnett how ‘enamored’ they were with the late singer, saying Randy’s time ‘working with her was a dream come true.’

The WNBA is different from the NBA in more ways than one

by

My good friend — OK, OK, I’ve never actually met him, but we follow each other on Twitter! — Dr Keeneland Dan got it just about right:

  • Enes Kanter did us a service by declaring for the 2027 WNBA draft, exposing the hypocrisy of the ‘transgender’ agenda; and
  • Having done that, Mr Kanter needs to stop acting like a clown
  • Males — I won’t call them men — need to stay out of women’s sports, restrooms, and locker rooms

The left seem determined to hold that the ‘transgendered’ are actually the sex they claim to be, rather than the sex biology has made them. They believe that men and women are absolutely equal, something which should be true under the law, but is clearly not the case when it comes to physical ability. Males are simply, as a general thing, bigger, taller, stronger, quicker, and faster than females; the concept of sexual dimorphism has been known for as long as humans were aware of sex, and it exists not only in humans, but virtually all animals. Males being larger and stronger than females occurs in most animal species, though the reverse is true in a few of them. But those who insist that men and women are absolutely equal simply cannot bear to acknowledge that: if men are bigger and stronger than women, then the left and the feminists worry that such implies that men are superior to women, and that simply cannot be accepted.

God Was Too Unbelievable, So We Gave Him a Spaceship

by

Somewhere along the way, America decided Genesis was too unbelievable—but extraterrestrials flying across the galaxy to genetically modify primitive hominids sounded perfectly reasonable. From Mark Passio’s theories to Ancient Aliens and today’s UAP obsession, an alternative creation story has quietly seeped into popular culture. We didn’t stop asking who created us; we just traded heaven for outer space, angels for aliens, and creation for a genetics lab in a spaceship. God was apparently too unbelievable—so we gave Him a spaceship.

Oxford, Alabama

by

Four guys. Four ordinary guys. Our band arrived at the Oxford Performing Arts Center theater early for soundcheck.

The theater production crew was waiting for us. The soundmen were huddled onstage for a pre-show briefing. The ushers were looking over seating charts. The ladies in the ticket booth were smiling. The beverage vendors were icing down the Mick Ultra.

News Highlights of the Week: Trannies belong in cars not women’s sports.

by

The information warfare machine continues to spew out its drivel. Objective: Pit you against me, in whatever form that manifests. Man against God, man against women, man against countrymen, it matters not, so long as discord and chaos reign. If you read Don’s take on the news this week, you can skip the psyops and develop a jaundiced eye toward the psyop minions: the media.

The View From the Ivory Tower: Sunny Hostin’s Privilege Problem

by

I want to start with a confession. I do not watch The View. I have a job, a family of six, a stack of Anatomy quizzes to grade, and generally better things to do with an hour of my life than listen to five women agree with each other very loudly. But every so often the internet drags a clip across my desk that I simply cannot ignore, and this one has EVERYTHING — hypocrisy, genealogy, railroad tracks, and a lecture on privilege delivered by a woman who apparently skipped the chapter on her own family history. So grab some coffee. This is a long one, and it is worth it.

The Older You Get, the Better You Might Shoot

by

Most sports belong to the young. Smallbore prone is different. At Camp Perry this July, competitors will fire 640 record shots over four grueling days, plus a practice day and a team championship, all while trying to keep every bullet in a tiny X-ring at 50 and 100 yards. The winner won’t necessarily be the strongest or the fastest—it will be the one who can stay mentally sharp after nearly a week of relentless precision. In one of America’s oldest sports, experience isn’t a handicap. It just might be the greatest competitive advantage of all.

The Hunter’s Paradox: More Hunters, Fewer Hurdles… But at What Cost?

by

**The Hunter’s Paradox:** We want more hunters, so we remove barriers. More online classes. More convenience. More participation. But when the tool in your hands is capable of taking a life, is convenience always the right answer? As a Hunter Education instructor and retired Army officer, I believe knowledge can come from a computer—but safe gun handling must be passed from one human being to another. The future of hunting depends on growing our ranks without compromising the traditions and safety that built them.

Good, Meet Evil

The culmination of the Left’s gender bending, death cult brainwashing was evident in last week’s assassination of Charlie  Kirk, whose only “crime” was speaking freely about his Faith, Family and Country, and his only weapon, a microphone. 

Maybe It’s Time to Retire the Reflecting Pool

by

For more than a century, Americans have spent millions of dollars fighting nature at the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. Built in 1922 as a grand architectural feature, the pool transformed a former Potomac floodplain into a shallow, artificial body of water that has suffered recurring algae blooms, leaks, sediment buildup, and costly repairs ever since. The latest maintenance controversy isn’t a new problem—it’s simply the latest chapter in a hundred-year struggle to maintain a giant pond where nature never intended one to exist. Instead of pouring more taxpayer dollars into perpetual repairs, perhaps it’s time to ask a different question: what if we reclaimed the 15 acres occupied by the Reflecting Pool and returned that space to the public? Expanded lawns, shaded gathering areas, memorial gardens, event space, and recreational areas could serve millions of visitors far better than a body of water that most people can only walk around and photograph. Sometimes the best way to solve a century-old engineering problem is not to engineer harder—it’s to admit the original idea has outlived its usefulness.
