'$4 trillion Democrat tax increase on American families'

Get 'em, Martina

Do these people even listen to country music? I don’t watch the Fox singing show The Masked Singer, but if you’re not familiar with the premise, they basically take (usually B- and C-list) celebrities, put them in outrageous costumes, and make them sing while a panel of judges – and America – try to figure out who’s under the mask. It’s kind of a ridiculous concept, but honestly, I don’t hate it (even though I never watch it). There have been a few country singers appear on the show over the years, including Hunter Hayes, LeAnn Rimes (who won season 4), Sara Evans, and Jana Kramer. But it’s not all professional singers: There have been athletes like Antonio Brown and John Elway, actors, comedians, and even politicians like Sarah Palin and Rudy Giuliani. Like I said, kind of ridiculous, but it’s now in its 13th season so it must be pretty popular. Well it appears that there’s another country singer hiding under one of the masks of the current season, with the Mad Scientist Monster bringing a country sound to performances of “Unwell” by Matchbox 20 and “I Swear” by All-4-One (and, notably, John Michael Montgomery) during his two performances so far. Now, is it possible it’s not a country singer at all? Sure. But based on the clues, people think they’ve got it figured out. Each week the celebrity under the masks gives America clues to help piece together their identity, and so far we’ve learned that the Mad Scientist Monster told us that he was “on the path to become the best in his field” but was “sidelined” and later found his purpose. He also says he is “reinventing himself,” reveals that he (may have) been in a boy band, and met his significant other at a Friendsgiving dinner, but didn’t reconnect with her until later. And several on-screen hints include a baseball radar gun, a fish tank, a grandfather clock, a sandcastle, and a cruise ship. Based on the clues, it seems like the obvious answer would be Brian Kelley, formerly known as one half of Florida Georgia Line. Kelley was the “Florida” of the group, and the “beach cowboy” released his first solo album back in 2021 called Sunshine State of Mind – which would explain the sandcastle. And the cruise ship, obviously, is a reference to FGL’s biggest hit, “Cruise.” Kelley was also a baseball player in college, and was even scouted for the pros, before he ultimately decided to pursue music after being benched. And maybe the most obvious clue: Kelley met his wife Brittany during a Thanksgiving dinner, but didn’t begin dating her immediately, starting their relationship later when they reconnected. And when you hear his voice, it definitely seems like Kelley could be the singer under the mask: @maskedsingerfox I swear, this performance might pull a heart string or two! #MadScientistMonsterMask #TheMaskedSinger ♬ original sound – The Masked Singer Now, I’ve seen some people guessing either Kane Brown or Easton Corbin, and I could hear those too. But some of the guesses are so ridiculous that I’m not sure these people have ever listened to country music before. Quite a few people are guessing that it’s Garth Brooks (or Chris Gaines). it’s crazy how obvious that the Mad Scientist Monster on Masked Singer is either Garth Brooks or Chris Gaines — manic pixie dream girl (@GRANDDADWHATTHE) April 3, 2025 I was wrong on Kenny Chesney I believe, but definitely Garth Brooks for sure I’m actually — Aubrey Meyer (@AubreySchulz1) April 3, 2025 And some have even guessed Alan Jackson. That’s Alan Jackson! — Victini (@Victinitrainer) April 3, 2025 Alan Jackson! Can’t mistaken him! — crazieanimefan1 (@crazieanimefan1) April 3, 2025 Couldn’t agree about the #MadScientistMonsterMask if a country music legend is underneath his . Hmm, is that you, @OfficialJackson? #MaskedSinger @MaskedSingerFOX pic.twitter.com/WhN8bJdGYI — Miyuko (@Miyuko_junsei) April 3, 2025 Now, aside from not sounding anything like AJ, Jackson suffers from a degenerative nerve disease that makes it hard for him to walk – so there’s no chance that he’s out there in a mad scientist monster costume. (Besides, does anybody really think a show like this would EVER be something that Alan Jackson would do, even earlier in his career? Not a chance). Others think it’s a different country legend: George Strait. I would bet anything that this is George Straight!! — Stephanie (@HBJGR20) April 3, 2025 Like Alan, there’s no chance that King George would ever do a show like this, especially now that he’s semi-retired. But the more glaring issue is that it sounds nothing like him For some reason quite a few people are convinced that it’s Ronnie Dunn, but Ronnie has such a distinctive voice that I think it would be hard to mistake him for any of these other artists. I could definitely be wrong about my guess that it’s Brian Kelley. Maybe I’ll look like an idiot when it turns out that it really IS Garth Brooks under the mask. But for now, I stand by my statement: I don’t think these people have ever even listened to country music if they think Alan Jackson or George Strait is inside that costume. We've never seen a #MadScientistMonsterMask like this! #TheMaskedSinger pic.twitter.com/4xmaw6pefV — The Masked Singer (@MaskedSingerFOX) March 27, 2025 The post The Internet Is Trying To Figure Out Who This Country Singer Is On ‘The Masked Singer’ & The Guesses Are Just Ridiculous first appeared on Whiskey Riff.

So many of the major problems that our world has had to deal with in recent years have been caused by mad scientists doing things that they should not be doing.  Unfortunately, the global scientific community continues to show no restraint whatsoever.  The things that I am about to share with you in this article … Continue reading They Want To Create “Spare Human Bodies” For “Research” And Meat, And A Version Of The Large Hadron Collider That Is Three Times Larger ...

A rare moment of gore.

Needing to get a little nasty.

President Donald Trump could not run for a third term, but he could be president a third time, according to Cornell law professor Bill Jacobson.   The 22nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution is clear that no one can be elected to the office of the president “more than twice.”   “But there’s nothing in the Constitution that prohibits someone from serving a third term,” said Jacobson, founder and publisher of Legal Insurrection. If another candidate won the presidential election, and Trump was his or her vice presidential running mate, that candidate could step aside after winning the race and allow Trump to take over, according to Jacobson, who was quick to add he doesn’t endorse such an action.   While a deal made with a running mate for Trump to serve a third term “does not violate the Constitution,” Jacobson says, it “might violate the spirit of the Constitution.”   The intent of the 22nd Amendment is “that we not have a permanent president,” Jacobson said, adding that because of that, serving a third term “might be subject to challenge,” adding: It might be subject to what was the original meaning of these terms. But on its face, there’s no barrier.   The conversation of Trump serving a third term recently landed in headlines when a number of reporters started asking the president if he wanted a third term.   “I’m not looking at that, but I’ll tell you, I have had more people asking me to have a third term,” Trump said while speaking with reporters on Air Force One at the end of March.   This isn’t the first time the idea of a former two-term president serving another term has been floated. In October 2023, Howard J. Klein of Lakewood Ranch, Florida, wrote in a letter to the editor of The Wall Street Journal that former President Barack Obama could run as the vice presidential candidate with then-President Joe Biden.   “Mr. Obama would constitutionally succeed to the presidency—without election—if Mr. Biden were to vacate the office,” Klein wrote.   The 22nd Amendment was added to the Constitution in 1951 in the wake of President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s election to four terms in 1932, 1936, 1940, and 1944. Congress approved the 22nd Amendment on March 21, 1947, then submitted it to the state legislatures for required ratification. The ratification process was completed on Feb. 27, 1951, when the required 36 of the then-48 states (before Hawaii and Alaska joined the union) had ratified the amendment. Jacobson sits down with The Daily Signal to provide his legal opinion on Trump serving a third term and to discuss the work of the Equal Protection Project, a project of the Legal Insurrection Foundation aimed at holding universities accountable for violating the Constitution’s equal-protection guarantees.   Watch the conversation above.   The post Could Trump Get a Third Term?

Want to know how to build a raised flower bed? If you need some flower bed ideas for your garden, this may just be what your looking for. This is a great woodworking project for beginners and experts alike. How to Build a Raised Flower Bed I've recently been working on my garden (again) and thought that a flower bed would be just the perfect addition. There was an amazing spot in my garden but it seem to have clay soil and I didn't really want to amend it. So my other solution, a raised flower bed. Not only does it solve my problem with the soil composition but it's also a great wood craft project I've always wanted to try. So if you also want to test your homesteading skills, check out this step-by-step tutorial that will teach you how to make a raised flower bed. It would be great to add to a small garden.   What you'll need to build a raised flower bed:  2 x 4s 4 x 4 post tape measure pencil square drill with bits and screw driving bits circular saw work gloves soil landscape fabric shovel hoe level utility knife sawhorses wheelbarrow soaker hose safety glasses dust mask flowers or vegetable (it's totally up to you!)   Now for the Process: How to Build a Raised Flower Bed Garden in 12 Simple Steps ((I'd like to thank Lowe's for this excellent tutorial from their Youtube! – Watch the entire video at the bottom of this post.))   Step 1 Choose the location of your flower bed. There are certain things you have to consider: it should have plenty of sun and you should have access to both sides. Once you've decided, mark the dimensions of the container. We'll be making a standard 3′ x 5′ garden bed. |   Step 2 | Dig up the sod using your shovel just deep enough to remove the grass and use a level to check if the ground is level. Make any adjustments to it as necessary.   Step 3 | Roll out the landscape fabric on the ground you dug. It should be at least 6″ longer than the edge of your bare soil.   Step 4 Now that you have the layout done, it's time to build the box. Start by cutting the 2 x 4s and 4 x 4 posts to length using your circular saw. Don't forget to use a protective mask and safety glasses. TIP: If you're building a bigger flower bed, you may have to anchor the posts into the ground.   Step 5 Drill pilot holes to the end of the 2 x 4s.   Step 6 Secure the 2 x 4s to the 4 x 4s making sure that they are even to the top of the post. Afterwards, use your square to check that it is also even and square on the sides.   Step 7 Screw the 2 x 4s to the posts on one side then to the other. Do the same for the ends of your box too. It should now look like the picture below.   Step 8 You're now done with the box! Wasn't that easy? You can now set it on top of the landscape fabric and make sure that it's level.   Step 9 Once you're satisfied with how it looks, cut the excess fabric with your utility knife.   Step 10 | Time to put your soil. You should have at least 6 inches of soil to allow the plant's roots to grow. If you have compost or fertilizer, you can also mix it in with the soil you're putting in your flower bed.   Time to Plant! Step 11 Prepare the your plants. Now pull the dirt back with your hoe.   Step 12 | Put your plant in and pack the soil around the roots with your hands.   Optional Step: | If you want to make watering easier, you can come up with this irrigation system. Lay a soaker hose around the plants and cover it with soil. Then you can attach it to a timer to make sure that your plants will get the water it needs all the time.   | And that's it. You'll have a better view in your garden after making this raised flower bed. Would you agree that it's an excellent gardening idea? Remember, if you don't want to set up an irrigation system, you can always water your plants manually. That's how I do it.   If you'd like to see how to build a raised flower bed, you can watch this video tutorial from Lowe's Home Improvement:   What do you think of this tutorial on how to build a raised flower bed?
