Just working on the the farmer’s tan, eh? I think he’s been in the gym some too… Morgan Wallen just released his fourth studio album I’m The Problem a few weeks ago, and obviously, he’s off to a hot start as the album has spent three consecutive weeks at the top of the Billboard 200 All-Genre Album chart. He has some stadium tour dates this summer, but other than that, he’s been laying pretty low and from the outside looking in, staying out of trouble, it seems… when he appeared on Theo Von’s podcast earlier this year, Morgan talked about finding hobbies that don’t involve going to the bar, like hunting, playing golf and working out, and it definitely looks like he’s been working out. Morgan shared a carousel of photos on Instagram last night of what he’s been up to lately, and he captioned it by saying he’s mostly been “working on his farmers tan,” though both the ladies and guys point out that he’s clearly been working on his physical fitness as well… “Mostly just been working on my farmer’s tan.” It also looks like we might have a music video for his song with Post Malone “I Ain’t Comin’ Back” coming soon, as Morgan is pictured in a racing fire suit in the fourth photo: View this post on Instagram A post shared by Morgan Wallen (@morganwallen) I saw an interview with Morgan’s friend Ernest recently where he talked about how Morgan wanted to run stairs with his friends for his birthday last month, so it sounds like he’s really been working out a lot, and it’s showing. I’ve never really “gotten it” in terms of girls being so obsessed with him and his looks (there’s 5 guys in every small town in America that look just like him), but in at least that first photo, I’ll admit that I’m starting to see it… even one of my friends sent me the photo and said “Wait, is Morgan Wallen hot?” So maybe I can be convinced… And good for him for hitting the gym so hard. I need to be convinced to do that too, but I digress… The ladies go crazy over Morgan no matter what, so obviously they had a field day after seeing the first photo and Morgan’s arms… even a lot of guys were pointing out how jacked he looks too: “Brotha mostly just been hitting the gym.” “Those arms though.” “Been hitting the gym, huh?” “Welcome to the gun show.” “Body tea.” “Guys got arms like he’s been working construction for 40 years.” “Been hittin’ the gym.” “Boy been in da gym.” “Looks like you been picking up heavy things gun show.” “Hot damn! The guns are a blazin!” “My mans been picking them chairs up AND putting them down.” “Look f******* jacked to me.” “Those farmers arms are coming along nicely.” “Morgan Swollen.” “Cuz is beefin up” “Jacked Morgan Wallen before GTA VI.” “Looks like u been in the gym only.” “Your arms say that’s a lie.” It goes on like that… honestly, his comments section is always fun to read, but this one is especially entertaining if you’re bored and counting down the hours until the weekend. “I Ain’t Comin’ Back” Morgan Wallen ‘I’m The Problem’ Tour Dates: June June 20 // NRG Stadium // Houston, TX w/ Corey Kent and Koe Wetzel June 21 // NRG Stadium // Houston, TX w/ Corey Kent and Koe Wetzel June 28 // Camp Randall Stadium // Madison, WI w/ Ella Langley and Miranda Lambert June 29 // Camp Randall Stadium // Madison, WI w/ Ella Langley and Miranda Lambert July July 11 // Hard Rock Stadium // Miami Gardens, FL w/ Gavin Adcock and Miranda Lambert July 12 // Hard Rock Stadium // Miami Gardens, FL w/ Gavin Adcock and Brooks & Dunn July 18 // State Farm Stadium // Glendale, AZ w/ Ella Langley and Miranda Lambert July 19 // State Farm Stadium // Glendale, AZ w/ Ella Langley and Brooks & Dunn July 25 // Lumen Field // Seattle, WA w/ Anne Wilson and Miranda Lambert July 26 // Lumen Field // Seattle, WA w/ Anne Wilson and Brooks & Dunn August Aug 1 // Levi’s Stadium // Santa Clara, CA w/ Anne Wilson and Miranda Lambert Aug 2 // Levi’s Stadium // Santa Clara, CA w/ Anne Wilson and Brooks & Dunn Aug 15 // Huntington Bank Field // Cleveland, OH w/ Ella Langley and Miranda Lambert Aug 16 // Huntington Bank Field // Cleveland, OH w/ Ella Langley and Thomas Rhett Aug 22 // Gillette Stadium // Foxborough, MA w/ Corey Kent and Miranda Lambert Aug 23 // Gillette Stadium // Foxborough, MA w/ Corey Kent and Miranda Lambert September Sep 4 // Rogers Centre // Toronto, ON w/ Gavin Adcock and Miranda Lambert Sep 5 // Rogers Centre // Toronto, ON w/ Gavin Adcock and Brooks & Dunn Sep 12 // Commonwealth Stadium // Edmonton, AB w/ Ella Langley and Miranda Lambert Sep 13 // Commonwealth Stadium // Edmonton, AB w/ Ella Langley and Brooks & DunnThe post “Morgan Swollen” — Morgan Wallen’s Muscular Arms Send Women Into A Frenzy On Latest Instagram Post first appeared on Whiskey Riff.

God definitely heard Phil coming. The “Duck Commander” Phil Robertson, the patriarch of the Duck Dynasty family from Monroe, Louisiana, passed away back on May 25 after a battle with Alzheimer’s. In a statement announcing his passing, the family said that they were celebrating with the knowledge that he had gone home to be with the Lord: “We celebrate today that our father, husband, and grandfather, Phil Robertson, is now with the Lord. He reminded us often of the words of Paul, “you do not grieve like those who have no hope. For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him.” Thank you for the love and prays of so many whose lives have been impacted by his life saved by grace, by his bold faith, and by his desire to tell everyone who would listen the Good News of Jesus. We are grateful for his life on earth and will continue the legacy of love for God and love for others until we see him again.” Robertson was a man of deep faith, who never missed an opportunity to share the word of Jesus Christ. And he even told his family not to cry when he passed away: “Dance, sing, but don’t cry when I die. When I die, say, ‘He made it because I watched him walk through the years, hurt back or no back.'” The kind of faith that Phil had is something that I strive for in my own life, because of the comfort and peace it brings knowing without a shadow of a doubt what comes next after your time on earth is through. Of course there’s no doubt that the family is hurting by the loss of their leader, the man who started Duck Commander back in 1972 and turned it into an empire. And to celebrate his life, the family recently held a small funeral service in their hometown for family and close friends of Phil. The service featured speeches from several of his children, and afterwards the family shared a touching video from the funeral set to Zach Bryan’s “Pink Skies” that perfectly captured not only his memorial, but also his unwavering faith: @officialduckcommander Last week we had a small service for family and close friends to say see you later to our founder @officialphilrobertson. The funeral is now live on our channel and Phil Robertson’s channel on YouTube. We know Phil inspired so many folks so we wanted to share his service you all. We hope you enjoy this celebration of our Dad, Uncle, Brother, Papaw Phil, Friend, and the Duck Commander’s life on Earth. “Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.” ‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭12‬:‭1‬-‭2‬ ‭ ♬ original sound – Duck Commander They could have picked a better song for the memorial video. In fact, I’m pretty sure I even remember Phil calling his kids “yuppies” on the show when I used to watch it back in the day. Phil’s family has opened up on the loss of their father, brother, grandfather and friend since his death, with his brother and Duck Dynasty co-star “Uncle Si” recalling how he was praying for God to call Phil home in his final days. Phil had suffered a back injury, and his family had said that he was in rough shape before he passed away, not able to get out and enjoy his land as he always had or spend time in nature. And during an episode of their Unashamed podcast, Si shared memories of his older brother along with nephew Zach Dasher, Zach’s wife Jill, and longtime friend and employee Justin Martin, with Si recalling that he had been asking God to put an end to Phil’s earthly suffering: “I’d been praying, ‘Lord, he’s ready. Call him home.'” Martin admits that “Phil wasn’t Phil” at the end of his life, and Si agreed: “His quality of life was not fair. He hurt his back doing something he shouldn’t have been doing. He should have let the younger men…but that’s my brother, he was doing it himself and hurt himself.” Si also admits that he knew his brother had passed away before he even got the call: “I knew before the phone call came. When I got up, I just felt totally alone. And that’s not true, I’m never alone… But I felt total lonely. And then all the way to church, I sit down in the pew and they start preaching, and to quote a movie thing, ‘There’s been a huge, major disturbance in the force.’ Something ain’t right and I don’t feel right. So then Phillip called and said, ‘Hey, look, Phil passed away at 5:00.’ I said, ‘Well, I already knew it.’ I’d already felt it.” Phil was outspoken on his faith, and obviously that earned him his fair share of critics. But it also earned him the ultimate reward when he passed away. And there’s no doubt that God heard him coming.

Israel’s air campaign Thursday night damaged or destroyed a significant number of high-profile targets in the country, including the main Iranian nuclear facility at Natanz and a number of Iranian military and political leaders. About 200 fighter jets conducted the airstrikes in several waves. In addition, teams from the Mossad, Israel’s intelligence agency, smuggled drones and other guided munitions into Iran. These were used to destroy Iranian air defenses and missile-launchers during the attack. In addition to attacks on Iranian nuclear infrastructure, Israel also attacked Iran’s leadership. Strikes killed Mohammad Bagheri, the chief of staff of the Iranian armed forces; Hossein Salami, the commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC); Amir Ali Hajizadeh, commander of the IRGC air force; and Ali Shamkhani, an important diplomat and an advisor of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei who participated in U.S.-Iran negotiations over the Iranian nuclear program. In a statement released shortly after the beginning of hostilities, Israel’s President Benjamin Netanyahu alleged that Iran had acquired enough sufficiently enriched nuclear material to construct nine nuclear bombs and argued that the air campaign was “a targeted military operation to roll back the threat to Israel’s very survival.” The strikes will go on “for as many days as it takes,” he continued. The level of American involvement with the strikes is not yet clear. Secretary of State Marco Rubio released a statement late Thursday night declaring that “Israel took unilateral action against Iran” and that “we are not involved in strikes against Iran and our top priority is protecting American forces in the region.” But President Donald Trump stated Friday that the U.S. knew about the attacks in advance, and some sources have alleged that the U.S. also provided Israel with intelligence for the operation. Iranian retaliation for the attack has been limited so far. Drones were launched from Iran following the strikes, but most or all were destroyed by Israeli air defenses; there have been no reports of significant damage from Iranian retaliation strikes. Trump told reporters that the Israeli campaign was “excellent”.  “We gave them a chance and they didn’t take it,” he said. “They got hit hard, very hard. They got hit about as hard as you’re going to get hit. And there’s more to come.”  The president urged the Iranians to accept the diplomatic alternative, saying that the country should make a deal “before there’s nothing left.”  The post Israeli Airstrikes Hit Nuclear Facilities and Killed Iranian Leaders appeared first on The American Conservative.
