Thank you Garth Brooks!

Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

Garth Brooks has announced that he’ll be performing as part of President Joe Biden’s virtual inauguration ceremonies. Brooks says it’s not about politics, it’s about unity. This is the correct position to take.

This also places an interesting context on Garth Brooks’ decision four years ago to turn down an invitation to perform at Donald Trump’s inauguration. It’s not as if Brooks is the kind of guy who’s willing to show up at every inauguration for the sake of “unity.” He’s clearly drawing a distinction between the divisiveness that Trump was pushing, and the unity that Biden is pushing. So thank you Garth Brooks for doing the patriotic thing.
