We mourn the passing of our friend, actor Michael Forest, who left us this week. Born Gerald Michael Charlebois, the man who played Apollo on Star Trek was 97. Michael indulged me by posing for this photo in 2022.

Can’t believe this happened to a party led by a man who confused AL with GA on a hurricane map, confused Sioux Falls with Sioux City, and congratulated Kansas after the Chiefs won the Super Bowl. But remember the rules: It’s always the Dems that misunderstand and disrespect “flyover” America.

Dolly Parton did all the good she could, for all the people she could, for as long as ever she could. From her legendary songwriting to the Imagination Library—which sent 1 million books a month to children across the country—she was the best of America. Dolly, we'll miss your great heart.
