  1. Test him for coronavirus please !
    Im curious since the virus has been affecting the lungs along with the heart ect..

    1. @SouthSide Chicago You got YOUR info from? infowars? or the CDC..ill take the CDC. If you believe your own BS line that is your fault, but stop lying to everyone else.

    2. @john magill you have stated NO evidence, you merely gave some wrong stats about the virus….sorry. want me to repost your OWN posts 😉

    3. @Dale Hartley You’ll take the CDC? Only if you think what they say could be bad for Trump. If you thought what they say could be good for Trump, I’m certain you’d be quite dismissive of the CDC.

    4. @john magill no, You like to cast innuendo and doubt. But in the end your innuendos are just that, shadows
      . I do think the CDC is a bit mis-managed, and that trump put his trick pony in as head, but I still trust the basic dept and its info.
      As for trump I do not have to make fun of him, he does it himself.

  2. Ennio Morricone died today in Rome today also.
    I’m in mourning…forever.
    And I thought the loss of James Galanos would do me in years ago.
    Both tremendously huge losses to the world.

  3. Glad he’s gone. Loved his music, until Million Mile Reflections (79).
    Hated him after 1980, which began his highdive into far-right-wing supremacist politics.

    1. @john magill OOO just noticed this one…Im not afraid of a bear….Did you know they are from the same line as the dog…So maybe I should say rus dog instead of bear.

    2. @BKD Vickers As per, The Lincoln Project, yes. Look at the alternatives… Trump and Kanye. Which would be worse? They’re both idiots, but we’ve already seen the damage Trump has done.

    3. Democrats are idiots..except the ones who are smart enough to vote for Trump. Biden is the lowlife lamebrain who needs to be in a mental institution or at the least…in prison! The left is evil & getting worse every day! Charlie Daniels was a patriot!

    4. @why is 45 still alive Damage by Trump??? Have you not looked at the damage democrats are causing in democrat cities??? Have you not noticed the high crime rate, the shootings, the stabbings, the beatings,and the killings?? These ignorant people are democrats!!!!! The violence is being fueled by democrat leaders, BLM, Antifa, and several others. They are also helping spread Covid 19 with their ignorant criminal behavior.

    1. Yes, and goodness! I hope it didn’t have anything to do with the millions of tweets- wishing him NOT well:-)

    1. @Stu B ha ha ha ha ha yeah right friend of the workin class? by demanding people get health insurance or be fined? thats a hitler like attitude and hank williams jr was right on the button comparin him to hitler

    2. @john magill Of course, not a shred of evidence ever substantiated any of those false narratives, as opposed to the mountains of documentation incriminating Trump.

    3. @Stu B Oh, okay now I understand. All of my points are illegitimate and all of yours are absolute facts that you can’t prove. Got it. Thanks for laying that out for me.

    4. @john magill You’re defending a guy who had 140 confirmed contacts with Russian operatives before he was even elected, operatives that every western intelligence agency says have been involved in election tampering in other countries.

    5. It’s too bad his legacy is stained with the stupid comments he made later in his life but I wrote that off to him getting senile.

    1. @BKD Vickers no actually The Devil has possessed DJT and is doing his dirty work through DJT……..

    1. Fantastic composer. I especially liked the soundtrack that he did for John Carpenter’s “The Thing.” Very haunting and powerful.

    1. Epstein’s mistress is talking to DoJ. She will be implicating many Democrats. Big prosecutions coming!

  4. Not Charlie! Anyone but him! First Kenny Rogers passes away a few months back, and now Charlie Daniels? I just found out and I can’t believe he passed away today. He was one of my favorite country artists. He really did play a mean fiddle and I don’t think anyone could play as fast as he could. The Devil Went Down to Georgia is one of my favorites by him. 😢😢 I’ll miss him. RIP Charlie Daniels 10/28/1936 -7/6/2020.

  5. For the Record: The melody for the fiddle parts on “Devil went Down To Georgia” was ripped from the late, legendary fiddler VASSAR CLEMENTS. Vassar was the ultimate Southern Gentleman who never made so much as a peep when Daniels had his only #1 hit using Vassar’s fiddle tune — LONESOME FIDDLE BLUES.

    Sorry Charlie… but you should have given Vassar a nod at the very least.
