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 🇺🇸

Only the Wings have announced their final roster. More cuts to come.

This is it, right here. 💥 Share this with fiscally conservative Republicans who are tired of Donald Trump, but need a reason to vote for Kamala—here’s a big one… Trump’s plan balloons the national debt and hands more tax breaks to the wealthy. Meanwhile, Harris’s plan focuses on everyday Americans, and makes sure the rich pay their fair share. Kamala’s on track to be the most fiscally responsible President in history.

Mic. Drop.

Barbara Walters called out Trump on his lies,... 30 years ago- right to his face on national television:

Froze him! 📺» hailst.at/3wRX2H5 #HailState🐶

Bulldog Family. I need you tomorrow! 🗣🗣🗣 Retweet and spread the word.

Can I just say that it makes no sense that when the Repubs show us who they are & screw up, the nation always looks to the Dems to fix it for them?! You can’t fix stupid & stop electing them if you just want us to do their work! HISTORY SHOWS THAT THE REPUBS, when in control, consistently trigger shutdowns!!!

As the day is winding down, just wanted to share what a great weekend this was & how the Bliss CBD gummies are making me have better sleep & less stress. So glad I found this product. Got to take one here soon before bedtime to wind down. #blisscbdgummies #lesstress #bettersleep

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on... Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

How can anyone still support this man?

Super proud of @HailStateWBK and @SamPurcellMSU! Lady Dogs did big things not many expected! Great things to come next year! #HailState

Today, the United States military released a video of a Russian fighter jet acting recklessly and downing a U.S. drone. Russia claimed its jet did nothing wrong. Watch and share this video so pro-Putin Republicans like Tucker Carlson see Russia's lies.
