Remembering Dolly Parton and a Nation Losing Common Sense

from Fifty Plus

Doug Pike reflects on the life and legacy of Dolly Parton before weighing in on taxpayer-funded political campaigns, repeat offenders cycling through the justice system, the rise of socialism and government bureaucracy. He also checks conditions in the Atlantic, discusses the challenges of staying active in Houston’s heat, and shares stories about Burning Man, Target’s controversial Halloween costume, a Missouri grandmother fighting to serve free breakfast to her community, and the World War II–era Purple Hearts still being awarded today.
