She has been playing nice with liberals for a while.

Now it seems they are not playing nice with her. She needs to get smart.

Seems everyone was stunned that Obama never offered her the medal. And then Trump offered it twice. Said even if Biden offered it, she says she's not sure about accepting cuz it would make her "political"....in other words...under Biden, she would become a pawn.

Please read the link I'm posting next.

“People really get upset over a Super Bowl commercial?”

Seems all these years we never said anything and now look where we are.

If a new Party is formed, The person to sing the National Anthem at the Miami Patriot Party Convention should be Dolly Parton.

You don't bash Dolly.

Even when she stood silently and gracefully on stage while Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin started spouting leftist sh!t, you don't bash Dolly. She's 100% class.

The most amusing thing about how leftists view communism and socialism is that in every society that is ruled by it, the entire population works — many of them at very menial, backbreaking jobs. If you don’t want to work, you’re sent to the gulag where you’ll do even worse work, usually at the tip of a whip or point of a gun.

Anyone who thinks in a communist or socialist society, they’ll simply be able to sit on their asses and enjoy everyone else’s largess has a big surprise coming...

I was very excited to see that Frito Lay invented a 3D nacho chip! 2D chips are so bland.

I thought the Dolly ad was ineffective as it didn't seem to explain what it is they were selling.

The Left wants to turn the business of heroism exactly on its head. The heroes of yesteryear are so wrongheaded according to them.

Today’s heroes are not the Trumps and Mike Lindell and many others who built their own fortunes in the private sector. Theirs are the grifting Bidens, Nancy Pelosi, Maxine Waters, Elizabeth Warren, the Clintons and Obamas who leveraged their “public service” into multimillion dollar fortunes.

Their heroes are not the immigrants who came here and assimilated and helped their fellow immigrants to do the same. They are the Omars and AOCs, the La Razas and others who disdain assimilation and proudly try to transform this country into what drove them or their parents away from the homelands, just with themselves in charge this time. Meanwhile they burnish their own merits by forcing the governments to subsidize their fellow immigrants.

They are not the small businesspeople who create local jobs and products and benefits. They are the global businesses which destroy such “parochial” family businesses in the name of competition while they take advantage of poor people worldwide and demand the government supplement their stinginess with “crumbs” to the people.

They are not the people who strove to do good in spite of their personal flaws like Washington and Jefferson and Churchill. Their heroes are the ones who died because of their flaws usually in pursuit of selfishness like George Floyd, Michael Brown, Matthew Shepherd and Che Guevara.

They aren’t the great orators who made us think like Socrates and Jesus Christ and Thomas Sowell. Their heroes are the great emoters like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, Bill Clinton and Barack Obama, Bruce Springsteen and Greta Thunberg who manipulation people’s emotions to their own benefit.

They are not those individuals who contribute money and time to help solve local problems. Their heroes are the billionaires who throw around their pocket change and manipulate people and nations to do their bidding while ensuring the playing field stay tilted in their direction.

In short (or long ;0}) society’s antiheroes have become the new heroes. Hence 9-5 and 5-9 are equally hated.

IF you have never had the guts to work a 2nd job to get ahead-—or (HORRORS) even walked out of a job & struck out on your own-—

THEN KEEP YOUR YAP SHUT.

I worked 2 jobs, in order to own my own house-—1st one in 1966. When I had an extra $50 or $100, I paid it down directly on the principal in my mortgage. Painted it myself, inside & outside. Did all my own yard work.

1st house got refinanced to buy 2nd house on 5 acres-—still owning #1. Then, sold 1st house, worked hard to clear land/dead trees on 2nd property, and sold that to buy 3rd property FREE & CLEAR.

Did I miss a drunken party here & there-—sure I did. Did I miss NEW Year’s with others?? YES...I also took accounting classes over 4 years AT NIGHT so I could learn more & get paid more. 4.0 in all my classes...thank you very much. NO private life-—but it didn’t matter.

BUT-—I now don’t owe a penny to a landlord & didn’t have to have the vapors over not paying rent during Covid.

Have been self-employed since 1980. Walked out on a job when owner accused me of mailing a NSF check to a vendor. HE insisted I mail it. I walked out—about 11 AM 2 days later, when vendor called about NSF check, and he blamed ME.

I had exactly $69 in my checking account-—NO savings acct & all my bills were paid for the month. Hustled clients for my bookkeeping skills....and 40 +++ years later, still have ONE client. Just finished his 2020 data for the 51st year I have done HIS books.

Shame on those of you who have NO GUTS. QUIT WHINING.

“If a new Party is formed, The person to sing the National Anthem at the Miami Patriot Party Convention should be Dolly Parton.”

Years ago Parton would have been proud to sing the national anthem. Now, I doubt it.

Jane Fonda and Parton’s other Hollywood friends would not approve and that is something Parton would have to take into consideration.

Did you have a family life? Some of us think that does matter.

I guess if you believe she was lying about why she could not attend that’s your prerogative.

Now, the country icon says the Trump administration offered
her the honor, not once but twice — and she turned it down
both times. “I couldn’t accept it because my husband was ill,
and then they asked me again about it and I wouldn’t travel
because of the COVID,” she said
