An entire year without the legend himself, Mr. Toby Keith. Yesterday was the anniversary of the death of the country music legend, who sadly passed away on February 6th, 2024. In a statement at the time, the Keith family shared with social media that on the previous day, Keith had lost his battle with stomach cancer at the age of 62. “Toby Keith passed away peacefully last night on February 5th, surrounded by his family. He fought his fight with grace and courage. Please respect the privacy of his family at this time.” pic.twitter.com/NfdLKGLQQe — Toby Keith (@tobykeith) February 6, 2024 It was devastating news for his family and the entire country music community, and tributes and stories of his life and character have poured in ever since. Keith was truly a one-of-a-kind man and musician, who made an indelible mark on the world. At the time, his son Stelen Keith Covel, shared a beautiful tribute about his dad on Instagram, calling him his "guiding star" and "hero": "You are the strongest man I have ever known. A fighter. A true titan of your industry. My guiding star. My coach. My hero. An embodiment of the American Spirit. You are a man whose strength, prowess, and talent could only be trumped by his ability to be a father and husband. Your impact is forever stamped on the world and on millions of people, yet not one person knew you the way I did. You were my biggest champion and the guiding light in my darkest times. The best mentor a man could ask for. You held a passion that was greater than mountains and it radiates through every lyric and chord. In the everlasting echo from the legacy of your music, you leave me strength and faith to lean on in the silence that follows. You truly did it your way, from the starting gates to the finish line, and never apologized for it. The only thing I truly ever wanted in life was to make you proud. I promise I will continue to make you proud. It’s not goodbye forever; it’s just goodbye for now. I love you cowboy." Words any father would be lucky to hear from their son, and it's clear just how close they were and how special their relationship was: https://www.instagram.com/p/C3F8bjYrFSb/?utm_source=ig_embed&ig_rid=ce582b2e-e360-40a6-bb10-f1cf44351a18 And yesterday, Stelen shared a simple tribute to his father on the one-year anniversary of Keith's passing, which included a video of him playing guitar with his family around a fire singing "If I Was Jesus," which is a song from his 2003 eighth studio album Shock'n Y'all. He once again called his dad his "hero," and hoped that they can one day have more of these special nights: "A whole year without my hero. Here’s to one day having more of these nights. Love you dad." Stelen's sister, Krystal, also commented how special these times were: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DFtDUG0B0gz/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading She shared her own, more lengthy post about how much she misses her dad, and how much his grandkids miss him, too: "It feels like yesterday we said goodbye and yet it somehow has also been the longest year without him. I can’t help but find gratitude in all the time we had because we did all of life as a family unit. It’s hard to find a candid picture where he doesn’t have one of our babies in his arms. He was their favorite, and they were his. Our littles miss their buddy big time but we all know we will see him again someday. Until then, he will watch over us and walk beside us. Every sunset (and he LOOOOVED his sunsets) is a reminder that he wants us to live our best life and do good in the world. So that’s exactly is what we will do." The pictures will bring a year to your eye... what a massive loss. Rest in peace, Big Dog Daddy. https://www.instagram.com/p/DFsuK5qxyXb/?utm_source=ig_embed&ig_rid=44e12a06-97b8-4c3f-ae0e-1bb84ec6913e "If I Was Jesus" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kjij9jHH4Ys

The next taste of Zach Bryan's forthcoming EP. He shared yesterday that his project With Heaven On Top is "out sooner than not," so stay tuned... he's been enjoying releasing things when the Philadelphia Eagles win big games, so maybe if they're able to pull off a win at the Super Bowl this weekend, that could mean something in terms of new music? He put out "Blue Jean Baby" after they won the NFC Championship, so who knows... He's honestly got a lot going on, in terms of multiple pieces of this project, and I assume maybe some sort of album as well... he's just been teasing so much music. Zach also told fans via Instagram that he's been working on a video project with Matthew McConaughey titled “Motorbreath, ” which captures a two-week motorcycle ride with him and his best friends as they recorded “one final major label album.” “This is not a film about a band, this is a film about a boy from Oklahoma. A boy who joined the Navy, with a love of writing. That writing connected with people, a lot of people. This film is about a group of best friends taking a two-week motorcycle ride across America, while recording one final major label album. Oh, and the title of the film you ask? ‘Motorbreath.’” So it seems like there is an album coming, too. It's hard to keep up, honestly... https://www.instagram.com/reel/DE121T3RKHX/?utm_source=ig_embed&ig_rid=f6f8f0d3-d9c2-4540-9416-75d43a44fabd Today, Zach teased another unreleased song on Instagram called "River Road Drive," which finds him strumming an acoustic guitar fireside: https://www.instagram.com/p/DFuinHNx2za/ And another one called "Skin": https://www.instagram.com/p/DFt3Gcix9oW/ Of course, now that fans know he has an EP coming, they're begging to hear it all. I feel like it's just mean to keep doing that if there's not something dropping really, really soon, and it's very obvious in the comments that fans don't want to keep waiting, either: "Impatiently yet patiently waiting on a new EP. Ya never disappoint." "Every single snippet is like a therapy session this Album and the EP are going to save my life." "Please release 'They ain’t you' on your EP." "I am ready for this EP to wreck me." "CAMPFIRE zach is backkk!!!!" "Drop an album." "At this rate the EP might be 50 songs." "Need the new EP out ASAPPP." "This run of song teasers is incredible." "Swear I'd tear up at his concert." "RELEASE EP WHEN THE BIRDS GET THE LOMBARDI!!!!!" "Zach Bryan solo playing guitar by the fire? We're back! We're so back!" "Can you release every single song you have if the Eagles win." "Sir, who do you think you are dropping all these teasing bangers." "This EP is going to heal souls man." "GONNA NEED THAT EP SOONERER RATHER THAN SOONER." Really, kind of unfair to keep showing off new songs if the EP release isn't imminent. But if we know anything about the way Zach Bryan drops music, it could be any day now. Could be today, could be tomorrow... could be 3 months from now... there's just no way of knowing. Stay tuned...

President Donald Trump signed an executive order Wednesday banning biological males from competing in women’s sports regardless of what gender they identify with. The order declares it U.S. policy to rescind funding from educational programs “that deprive women and girls of fair athletic opportunities, which results in the endangerment, humiliation, and silencing of women and girls and deprives them of privacy.”  It also directs the U.S. government to oppose men’s participation in women’s sports “more broadly.” A large group of young female athletes surrounded the president as he signed the order. Many commentators found the resulting photographs striking. “Congratulations to every single person on the left who’s been campaigning to destroy women’s and girl’s rights,” said author J.K. Rowling, who is critical of the trans movement. “Without you, there’d be no images like this.” In his first weeks as president, Trump has signed other executive orders that pertain to sex and gender. He directed the executive branch to adhere to the traditional definition of sex, banned people with gender dysphoria from the military, and cut off funding for sex-change medical procedures for minors, among other measures. The post Trump Bans Biological Males from Women’s Sports appeared first on The American Conservative.

This brainteaser dates back to 1924—can you figure it out?

The episode of Natural News features an insightful and concerning interview with John Perkins, author of "Confessions of an Economic Hit Man," who discusses the global economic strategies of the U.S. and China, the impact of these strategies on developing nations, and the need for a more collaborative approach to international relations.
