Country music star Loretta Lynn, known for her hits “Coal Miner’s Daughter” and “You Ain’t Woman Enough,” has died. She was 90. She died Tuesday at her home in Hurricane Mills, Tennessee, her family shared in a statement obtained by the Associated Press. Lynn, the daughter of a Kentucky coal miner, made a name for herself by writing songs about life and love as a woman in Appalachia. Already a mother to four children, she launched her career in the early 1960s,

A true icon. Young women could learn a lot from her about true grit and strength.

I've only heard bits and pieces about her young life. Without even knowing all the lurid details, she is no doubt one in a million who could have pulled the plug and taken the easier path on any given day but chose not to.

Ah, well.. she had a hell of a run. I started listening to Loretta back in 1967 when I heard “Don’t Come Home A-Drinkin’ ( with Lovin’ On Your Mind)”. I heard a lot more of her songs while stationed at Camp Lejeune, NC in ‘70-71. She was a great singer and songwriter - she could get away with lyrics like “you’re the reason our kids are ugly”. I lived in Ypsilanti, MI (known to the locals as Ypsi-Tucky) when “Coal Miner’s Daughter” was released. It must have played at one of the theaters for two or three months. Tommy Lee Jones should have gotten an Oscar for his role as her husband. RIP, Loretta. You were one of a kind.

Loretta had a really, really hard life. Some of today's snowflakes would not be able to stand what she had to go through. But she kept going, kept working hard and she succeeded. Farewell to one of Kentucky's real music legends.

Loretta Lynn is truly a legend, & she was a beautiful personification of “genuine”, in the good sense of the word. That is indeed “precious”, as her family called her, and relatively rare in the entertainment industry. She was genuinely beautiful, talented, and kindhearted and so much more. She loved her fans, and we loved her right back. She will continue to live on and be loved and respected through her music, and in our memories. Thank you, Loretta.

Six months into Russia’s invasion of Ukraine the unthinkable has happened: Russia is losing. Vladimir Putin is determined, nevertheless, and increasingly desperate. He has undertaken a partial mobilization, formally annexed four regions of Ukraine and renewed his threat of using nuclear weapons — “I’m not kidding.” Is the threat real? And if so, how should the United States respond? Russia has a substantial nuclear arsenal, including strategic missiles and bombers and a new autonomous torpedo designed to explode in harbors to create a massive tsunami. These warheads’ explosive powers range in the hundreds of thousands to several million tons of TNT equivalent.

Chicago’s top cop said Wednesday that the department is looking at how to make police stations safer after officers shot and wounded a man who allegedly pointed a gun at them inside a West Side police station. The shooting comes just over a week after a man was shot when he allegedly broke into another West Side Chicago police facility, grabbed unloaded guns from a table and aimed at officers. “There’s some things we believe we can do to maybe strengthen some of our security measures,” Supt.

A panel of energy ministers of the OPEC+ alliance of oil-exporting countries on Wednesday agreed to recommend a historically large cut in output, a stinging rebuke to the Biden administration that is likely to mean higher prices at gas pumps in the United States and Europe. The alliance, which is led by Saudi Arabia and includes Russia, is meeting in Vienna to negotiate the largest production cut since the pandemic first struck. The energy ministers who comprise the cartel’s Joint Ministerial Monitoring Committee recommended a cut of two million barrels per day in the group’s overall production. A final decision will be voted on later on Wednesday.

The U.S. president is one of the most well-protected, closely monitored personages in the world. And that extends to those coming in and out of his orbit. Yet, the U.S. Secret Service, the agency in charge of President Joe Biden’s personal security, claims it double-checked and found no records of who is visiting the incumbent POTUS in Delaware where he spends a lot of his time, a determination that defies common sense. In an appeal of an initial denial, the New York Post unsuccessfully attempted to access visitor log information, which should be public, through a Freedom of Information Act request.

Biden poised just so in a dark suit, a friendly tight-lipped Irish smile on his lips, Fetterman in a dusty gray hoodie and shorts, trying not to scowl. Biden chimes in, “How’s the campaign going, kid?” “It’s not about kicking balls in the authority you know.” “Just like Strom Thurmond used to say. Where is Strom by the way? Strom?” Biden looks around frantically for the politician who died in 2003.

The cuts will restore the oil market for top producers like Saudi Arabia and Russia but are also expected to drive up costs at the pump globally.

The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and allied oil producing nations have backed plans to dramatically slash oil supplies in a bitter blow to President Joe Biden. At an OPEC Plus meeting in Vienna, the cartel's Joint Ministerial Monitoring Group recommended oil output is cut by 2 million barrels a day, or around two percent of the global oil supply. Ahead of the meeting, it was reported both Saudi Arabia and Russia were expected to push for reductions of 1 to 2 million barrels per day. The U.S. lobbied extensively against the move, according to CNN, which could cause gas prices to rise ahead of November's midterm elections.
