I can’t listen to OliverAnthony‘s “Rich Men North of Richmond” without getting chills. It’s raw, it’s true, & it’s touching the hearts of men & women across this great nation.
Based in Virginia, he’s a farmer with three dogs. Inspired by Hank Williams Jr., Oliver’s music is being called an anti-Biden song..

The artist's name is Oliver Anthony. I just got off the phone with him.
With his permission, I'd like to share the story he told me that moved the deepest parts of my soul…
This developing scandal has overtaken the White House’s talking points today.. just as Trump’s document scandal became close to prosecution, a bunch were found in Biden’s home. And now —his garage.
DOOCY: “Classified materials next to your Corvette?! What were you thinking?”
BIDEN: “My Corvette’s in a locked garage so it’s not like it’s sitting on the street.”
DOOCY: “So the material was in a locked garage?”
BIDEN: “Yes— as well as my Corvette.”
But no worries… his corvette is locked up.

On the heels of a confusing and breathtaking week in social media, Elon Musk just concluded his poll that got millions of views and votes.. In the end, majority ruled: MUSK INVITED TRUMP BACK TO TWITTER..
Others including left and right wing users were restored this week.. Musk however declined to allow Alex Jones back to the platform.
But Saturday night live is here: “The people have spoken. Trump will be reinstated,” Musk tweeted Saturday night. “Vox Populi, Vox Dei,” Latin for “the voice of the people is the voice of God.”
More from mainstream reporting:
Trump has previously said he would remain on his platform, Truth Social, instead of rejoining Twitter, but a change in his approach could hold major political implications. The former president announced this month that he will seek the Republican presidential nomination in 2024, aiming to become only the second commander in chief ever elected to two nonconsecutive terms.
Asked on Saturday what he thought of Musk purchasing Twitter and his own future on the platform, Trump praised Musk but questioned whether the site would survive its current crises.
“They have a lot of problems,” Trump said in Las Vegas at the Republican Jewish Coalition meeting. “You see what’s going on. It may make it, it may not make it.”
Still, Trump said he liked Musk and “liked that he bought (Twitter.)”
“He’s a character and I tend to like characters,” the former president said of Musk. “But he’s smart.”
“Russian officials are also openly threatening the world that there will be famine in dozens of countries,” he said. “And what could be the consequences of such a famine? What political instability and migration flows will this lead to? How much will you have to spend then to overcome the consequences?”
The bizarre reference came during his economic speech in rising inflation.. he hesitated after saying the worst taste, perhaps showcasing that it was not on the teleprompter and ad-libbed?
Sen. Josh Hawley introduced a bill on Tuesday that aims to revoke Disney’s copyrights, as Republicans are seeking to outdo each other in attacking the “woke” corporation.
Hawley’s bill would dramatically rewrite U.S. copyright law, shortening the total term available to all copyright holders going forward by several decades. It would also seek to retroactively limit Disney’s copyrights, effectively stripping the company of much of its intellectual property, in a move that would face several legal obstacles.
Media figures react to COVID positive cases after White House correspondents dinner outbreak
“I’m yet another [White House Correspondents Association] weekend casualty,” tweeted Julia Ioffe, a correspondent at Puck News. “I knew I was taking a risk and, well, here we are!”
Jada Yuan, who covered the dinner for The Washington Post, also tweeted she tested positive afterwards and would have to miss an international work trip she had been looking forward to. “Hindsight and all that, but wear a mask or leave or tell your employer you can’t go if you’re in a situation where you feel uncomfortable,” she tweeted. “Those consequences are usually better than the ones you’ll face if you get sick.”
“We worked hard to publicize our protocols and encouraged those eligible to get booster shots in the weeks leading up to the dinner,” Steve Portnoy, president of the White House Correspondents’ Association, wrote in an email. “Our event implemented protocols that went beyond any guidance or regulation issued by the CDC or the DC health department. We wish anyone who may not be feeling well a speedy recovery.”
Attendees at the White House Correspondents Dinner are generally privileged and well-connected people, who have much better access to treatments like Paxlovid, as well as paid time off and other benefits, than some Americans.
