Doctors in Washington State and beyond are still being muzzled on Covid and other issues by government agencies, warned Dr. Michael Turner, a leading independent medical professional who was persecuted for prescribing Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine during Covid. Speaking to The New American magazine Senior Editor Alex Newman on Conversations That Matter, Dr. Turner also outlined a vision …

Does our society treat boys like malfunctioning girls?  In this article, I am going to show you a whole bunch of numbers which prove that our boys have fallen behind our girls in many different areas.  From a very early age, our society tends to reward feminine characteristics and it tends to suppress masculine characteristics. …

Two decades ago. It’s been twenty years since Toby Keith released his 9th studio album, Honkytonk University. Released on May 17, 2005, this record featured numerous hits for Keith like “As Good As I Once Was,” “Big Blue Note,” and “Honkytonk U.” The conversation for the album’s name came twelve years into his country music career after his breakout song “Should’ve Been A Cowboy.” Although Keith is from the state where the Oklahoma State Cowboys call home, he supports a university closer to his hometown of Moore, the University of Oklahoma. As a die-hard Sooners fan, Keith wanted his kids to attend the university, which struck up the idea for the record’s title.  “I want my kids to go to OU, and I’m tight with some of the people there. Over the holidays, somebody asked me if I went there, and I said no … I graduated from the school of hard knocks. I went to Honkytonk U. It just sounded like a title.” Keith wrote the title track to Honkytonk U by himself, along with “She Left Me.” As for the other ten songs featured on the track, Keith collaborated with longtime friends and colleagues, Scotty Emerick and Dean Dillon, to make those lyrics come to life before taking the record. As I previously mentioned, many songs on this album turned into hits for Keith, but there is one song that stood out among the rest: “As Good As I Once Was.” “As Good As I Once Was” went on to spend six weeks in the number-one position on the country charts, would go three times platinum, and receive BMI’s “Song of the Year” in 2006. The song is one of Keith’s best-known songs today. In it, he sings of picking up girls in his older age, noting that he’s gotten a little rusty over the years. While one might think that an experience of getting shot down would have led to the lyrics of this song, Keith shared in an interview once that it was inspired by a phrase his dad used to say. “Yeah, my dad used to say that some. He’d tell my mom, ‘You know, I ain’t as good as I once was, baby. But I’m as good once as I ever was.’ And I just never thought I could turn that into a song. Me and Scotty were sitting on the bus and talked about it two or three times, and finally we just happened to be in the right frame of mind when we wrote thing…” View this post on Instagram A post shared by Toby Keith (@tobykeith) Keith also recalled “As Good As I Once Was” as his favorite song off Honkytonk University. “Probably my favorite song on the album. I can always tell when I’ve got a special one as soon as I get done.” Wonder if he learned what would be a hit or not at Honkytonk U… In honor of the album turning twenty years old, the platinum-selling album has been made available in immersive Dolby Atmos, mixed by preeminent engineer Mills Logan.

UTL COMMENT:- This isn't a war, a war is fought by 2 armies.... The fact that Israel soldiers can just walk in there and lay charges without issues implies that there is no war...

A great team.
