The new capabilities bring TikTok’s messaging experience more in line with that of other popular social apps and services.

In 2016, the World Economic Forum (WEF) created quite a stir with its “You’ll own nothing.  And you’ll be happy” video.  It was soon scrubbed by WEF because of the negative reactions. The video included eight predictions that would come true by the year 2030.  How many have come true in nine years? Its first …

It looks exactly like her!?

Making a significant contribution to the state he calls home. On the 4th of July, parts of South and Central Texas, especially Kerr County, were ravaged by floodwaters, sweeping away people, homes, and communities. The event was horrific to say the least. Families are mourning their loved ones, and the affected communities are still identifying what they need to rebuild. Thankfully, with the help of the country music community, many artists have announced or put on benefit shows. George Strait’s ‘Strait To The Heart’ concert raised $6.5 million and counting, Pat Green raised over $1 million through his virtual concert held at Globe Life Field, Koe Wetzel’s show raised over $750,000, and Josh Weathers quickly organized a virtual show that surpassed $500,000. There have been many other concerts that have raised significant amounts of money as well, and it’s been beyond incredible to see so many Texas musicians band together to help the Lone Star State. Last night, Texas legend Robert Earl Keen hosted his benefit show Robert Earl Keen & Friends: Applause For The Cause. After the floods, Keen was one of the first artists to take to social media, announcing that he would host a benefit concert in the weeks to come. “I will be working on a benefit to support the community, and more details to follow as soon as we know them. In the meantime, please support those in need via the Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country. That’s the Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country.” The Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country has established the Kerr County Flood Relief Fund to support local response, relief, and recovery efforts following the devastating July 4th flood. You can access the Fund here: https://t.co/fSsOpJj2hq pic.twitter.com/uyYMBazwaX — Robert Earl Keen (@robertearlkeen) July 5, 2025 Robert Earl Keen kept his early promise of putting on a benefit show, officially dubbed, and he ensured it was one that folks would not forget. On August 28th at Whitewater Amphitheater outside of New Braunfels, Texas, Keen hit the stage with special guest Tyler Childers, alongside a special trio set from Miranda Lambert, Jon Randall, and Jack Ingram, plus Cross Canadian Ragweed, Randy Rogers, Ryan Bingham, Ray Wylie Hubbard, and more. The show sold out five minutes after going on sale, but, like many other shows, he provided streaming options so fans could tune in and, more importantly, donate to the cause. If you were unable to watch last night, I highly recommend going to watch the show after reading this, because it was truly incredible. Not only was White Water Amphitheater overflowing with talent, but the pride each artist exuded on stage to be a part of this event was palpable through the TV screen. @juliarags_ #robertearlkeen #tylerchilders #live #fyp ♬ original sound – JULIA RAGSDALE During the show, Arch “Beaver” Aplin, CEO of Buc-ee’s, took to the stage with Robert Earl Keen, given they were the concert’s presenting sponsor, and assured the crowd that all the money raised was “going to the right people.” Aplin announced the total amount raised at the end of the concert and shared that he had donated $1 million of his own to the fund. “The Buc-ee’s family is so happy to be able to participate in this. Robert called me and asked me to do this, and I said ‘Hell yeah.’ $3 million bucks, and it’s going to the right place, it’s going to the people, it’s going to the Hill Country. And I’m not surprised this is what Texans do. They take care of each other. God bless, thank you.” $3 MILLION. That’s an incredible contribution to Kerr County and other parts of the Texas Hill Country. However, donations are still open. Robert Earl King is keeping the donation link live through the end of Robert Earl King’s homecoming weekend. The Labor Day weekend festival begins tomorrow, August 30th, and goes through September 1st at John T. Floore Country Store in Helotes, Texas. The weekend includes stellar music from Keen himself, American Aquarium, Silverada, and more. Merchandise from the benefit show is still available for sale, and 100% of the proceeds will go to the cause. If you weren’t able to tune in to the show, sit down and catch up while you’re here. And if you feel called, donate to an incredible cause. Texans show up for each other, and the overwhelming support since the horrific floods is genuinely incredible.

Country music artist Hannah Dasher wishes that the country music community was more willing to lend a helping hand. Hannah Dasher stopped by the Whiskey Riff Raff podcast to talk about how her presence on TikTok, her cooking show that has helped fans discover her music, the struggles of being a fully independent artist, what it’s like to be a woman in the industry, her thoughts on Beyoncé and how she wished the artist would have gone “full country” and much more. One of the through lines of our conversation with the “You’re Gonna Love Me” singer was the fact that, in her experience in the music industry, there’s a lot more pushing down than lifting up. Dasher is someone who looks fondly on how things used to be in the country music world, and wants to be a steward for bringing back a helping, supportive culture among artists… especially female artists: “The devil has just instilled this scarcity mindset in us, and I don’t know why it’s so much more competitive for girls. As a musician, I crave being around other talent. I crave being around people that are either where I am, or better than me. If it weren’t for that attitude, I don’t think we’d have the Highwaymen. Who was Waylon hanging out with? Willie Nelson, Kris Kristofferson, Johnny Cash. I just think greatness feeds off of and breeds more greatness. I wish that we did more of that in Nashville. They used to years ago, but not anymore.” @whiskeyriff “The devil has just instilled this scarcity mindset in us.” @HANNAH DASHER // The latest Whiskey Riff Raff episode is live on Spotify, Apple, and YouTube. #whiskeyriff #whiskeyriffraff #hannahdasher #countrymusic ♬ original sound – Whiskey Riff Without a doubt a fair point from Hannah Dasher. It certainly seems as though the country music industry used to have a “rising tide lifts all boats” mindset. Now? It’s every man and woman for his and herself. So what could be the solution? Dasher thinks that looking towards the country music stars of yesteryear for guidance could be of service: “I hope that we pay attention to our heroes, and our hero’s heroes and that’ll inspire us to love on the music community as they did. Patsy Cline was famous for helping Loretta Lynn and Dottie West and Jean Shepard and other acts obviously.” And I’ve also got to point out that it was refreshing to here the independent country music artist speaking about her faith and the Lord working in her life throughout the interview. At the end of the day, Hannah Dasher just has a faith-based mindset, and her point of view on how the country music industry should be working requires a lot of heart, love, and selflessness: “We are blessed to be a blessing to others. Like I said, look at our heroes and how they helped others out. Johnny Cash and June Carter babysat their neighbors’ kids. Think about how busy they were. They gave and gave. Kenny Rogers bought a car for Dottie West when she didn’t have the money… I just think that mindset, it takes that kind of heart and that kind of love for what we really do.” If you want to hear more from Hannah Dasher, make sure to download the podcast on Apple Podcasts by searching “Whiskey Riff Raff” or click here.

What's the difference among them? Absolutely nothing, except Paul Volker headed the central bank for a short period of deflation.Now, Powell is set to be replaced and there are 11 candidates for Fed Chair. 2 of them are the most likely candidates.The names are Kevin Hassett and Kevin Warsh.A small amount of research will tell you that both of these candidates are the typical establishment economists promoting the same old Keynesian Economics of the past with intention to expand into a global cashless currency system.Hassett worked on John McCain 2000 and 2008 campaigns as an economic adviser. He was also an economic adviser to George W Bush and Mitt Romney, or as some people call him "Obama 2.0."Hassett has also been an adviser to President Trump during both terms and was heavily involved in closing businesses in 2020 and pushing for the printing of 25% of currency ever printed in the United States including $3 trillion in 2020 that lead to the massive inflation we see today.Kevin Warsh worked as a fed governor as well as worked for the Group of 20 and the Group of 30, both of which heavily promote a global digital currency system. He has worked under Bush and Obama. He worked on the steering committee of the Bilderberg Group.Like we have said, in with the new boss, same as the old boss...Regardless of who is in power as a so-called "president," the economic policies remain technically speaking the same. The same old script will continue to play out as one side or the other sits on their hands for 4 to 8 years as people devolve further into poverty and through weakening of the spirit and demoralization, the people are more easy to control.The coming technocratic system is being put in place as we speak and people are still playing the game of politics, doing nothing to prepare.Perhaps it's time people take this more seriously, throw away the "hopium" and seek real world solutions for themselves.Stay tuned for more from WAM!GET NON-MRNA FREEZE DRIED MEAT HERE:https://wambeef.com/ Use code WAMBEEF to save 20%!GET HEIRLOOM SEEDS & NON GMO SURVIVAL FOOD HERE:https://heavensharvest.com/ USE Code WAM to save 5% plus free shipping!Get local, healthy, pasture raised meat delivered to your door here:https://wildpastures.com/promos/save-20-for-life/bonus15?oid=6&affid=321 USE THE LINK & get 20% off for life and $15 off your first box!DITCH YOUR DOCTOR!https://www.livelongerformula.com/wam Get a natural health practitioner and work with Christian Yordanov!
