The rollout of the Moderna vaccine for the pandemic has begun. One person who had a bit of a personal investment in Moderna getting off the ground is Dolly Parton.

Literally.


Dolly donated a million dollars to help fund the vaccine's research.

But now Parton's sister, Stella, is sounding off over the fact members of congress, including many pandemic deniers, are getting vaccinated before front-line workers and those most vulnerable.

Last Friday, the country singer, writer and actress tweeted:

"If a little Hillbilly singer like my big sister Dolly can invest in the vaccine then why the hell can't some of you old moldy politicians pitch in a few million yourselves?"
"I noticed you started getting vaccinated right away while people are starving and dying you Aholes."

She didn't spare televangelists either.

She added:

"I haven't heard of one Televangelist donating one damn cent to the research fund but they sure can fleece the flock and try to cast out demons when they are possessed themselves!"
"If Paula White and Kenneth Copeland didn't convince you then what about Benny Hinn?"
"BTW, he and Paula were caught 'holding hands' coming out of a hotel in Rome or Paris, not sure which but come on people, really!!"
"Oh, let's not forget Jerry Falwell Jr. and his lovely spouse."

Parton has no patience for hypocrisy.

Many were here for Stella's critique of the mega-church millionaires.

Others were more focused on her comments about Congress.

And most simply cheered both Parton sisters on.

Hopefully the Moderna vaccine will help bring the pandemic to an end, thanks in no small part to Stella's big sister, Dolly Parton.

Trump Sparks Concern After Repeatedly Confusing Alaska With Russia Ahead Of Putin Meeting

President Donald Trump turned heads on Monday after he repeatedly claimed he's going to "Russia" on Friday—very openly confusing the country with the state of Alaska, the actual location where he plans to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin for a highly anticipated summit.

Trump made the mix-up during a press conference about crime in Washington, D.C., where he has already moved to federalize the police and deploy the National Guard, citing inflated crime statistics that compared D.C. to Baghdad and Brasilia.

JB Pritzker Explains Exactly Why Trump Is Pushing His GOP Allies To Redistrict—And He's Spot On

Speaking on NBC's Meet the Press, Illinois Governor JB Pritzker perfectly explained why President Donald Trump is pushing for gerrymandered redistricting in Republican-led states amid pushback from Democrats in Texas.

Redistricting has been all over the news cycle in the days since Texas Democrats fled the state to avoid voting on a new heavily-gerrymandered redistricting map and to deny their GOP colleagues a quorum, the minimum number of lawmakers required to conduct legislative business.

MSNBC Fact-Checks Trump In Real Time As He Blatantly Lies About Crime Rates In DC

President Donald Trump is facing criticism after he was fact-checked by MSNBC in real time as he lied about crime statistics while announcing his decision to federalize police in Washington, D.C., and deploy the National Guard in an effort to fight crime.

Trump's announcement is a significant escalation of his previous attacks on the nation's capital, which he has repeatedly referred to as "crime-infested." He claimed in his remarks to the press that D.C. is “one of the most dangerous cities anywhere in the world,” a claim at odds with Justice Department data showing that the city’s crime rate hit a 30-year low last year.
