            The Secret to Dolly Parton's Universal Appeal

            • Future Publishing - The Week - Vertical

            What makes Dolly Parton so universally adored? This clip from 'The Week Unwrapped' delves into why the country music legend is one of the most popular celebrities, comparing her appeal to figures like David Attenborough and the Queen.

            I believe he must go ASAP. Doing nothing positive (except, of course, the renaming of a lake) and managing to make a fool of himself and America's voters every day.

                  Sometimes I just can't get over the lack of understanding of current events with the media today. Apparently there was a DEA truck seen at an immigration deportation.

                    Ban on H-1B visas in schools goes too far | Dallas Morning News

                      Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said he plans to call for a ban on school districts employing anyone with an H-1B visa. This sweeping ban could harm students and schools, while doing little to address legitimate concerns about the visa program that allows companies to hire foreign workers for specialized jobs.

                        After months of negotiations and hang-ups, the Senate overwhelmingly passed a Russian sanctions bill prior to leaving Washington on recess. House Speaker Mike Johnson should now round up the votes and send the legislation to the White House.
