The raw honesty of it, in combination with the non-pretending soul of Oliver Anthony, is making this viral. [2.5 million views on YouTube in 3 days]
God love him, he’s right. WATCH:
LYRICS – I’ve been selling my soul, working all day, overtime hours for bullshit pay,
so, I can sit out here and waste my life away, drag back home, and drown my troubles away.
It’s a damn shame what the world’s gotten to for people like me — for people like you.
Wish I could just wake up and it not be true. But it is. Oh, it is.
Living in the New World – with an old soul.
These rich men north of Richmond. Lord knows it all. Just want to have total control.
Want to know what you think, want to know what you do.
And they don’t think you know. But I know that you do.
Because your dollar ain’t shit, and it’s taxed to no end because the rich men north of Richmond.
I wish politicians would look out for miners and not just minors on an island somewhere.
Lord, we got folks in the street, ain’t got nothing to eat, and the obese milking welfare.
God, if you’re five foot three, and you’re 300 pounds, taxes ought not to pay for your bags of fudge rounds.
Young men are putting themselves 6 feet in the ground because all this damn country does is keep on kicking them down.
Lord, it’s a damn shame – what the world’s gotten to for people like me, people like you.
Wish I could just wake up and it not be true. But it is. Oh, it is.
Living in the New World – with an old soul.
These rich men north of Richmond. Lord knows they all. Just want to have total control.
Want to know what you think, want to know what you do. And they don’t think you know. But I know that you do.
Because your dollar ain’t shit, and it’s taxed to no end because the rich men north of Richmond.
I’ve been selling my soul, working all day, overtime hours for bullshit pay…
Congratulations to Oliver Anthony. He’s now made the top ten on Homeland Security’s list of radical right-wing extremists and the SPLC’s list of hate groups. I suspect he’ll soon be subpeona’d by the House Oversight Committee. Welcome to the new world.
I wish I could just giggle at that comment but it’s freaking true.
No. The feds will storm his house wearing tactical gear at 5:00 am. They will haul him out of bed in his underwear. His family will stand there terrified. Finally, children will watch “our” weaponized government shoot an innocent man who practices wrong-think.
Welcome to Dystopian America — the land that used to be free.
Or they will kill him like they dis to the 75 year old man who did exactly what Kathy Griffin did.
Thing is if they shot every democrat that threatened President Trump, There’d not be a democrat in congress left and less than half of the three letter agencies.
The FBI would run out of ammo first.
I hope you all realize that each and everyone of you are on that list now too. Thinking that you’re unhappy with the way that the country is being ran is bad enough… You are actually writing down your dissatisfaction and letting the whole world see it. Now your thoughts are being stored in the silos.
“Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country.”
Were was the local police when the FBI was storming a 75 year old man’s house and shooting him down? Hiding in the police station? Where were his neighbors, hiding in their basements? Obviously the FBI have taken out the last real man in that town. If this poor fool had been black and living on the South Side of Chicago the entire south side would have turned out to protest and riot. The Swat team would have been pleated with bricks and Molotov cocktails and their vehicles torched. Yet in a white middle class neighborhood everybody hides and no one even protests afterwards. Is it really all that surprising BLM is winning and conservatives are losing the country.
try to help him.
they will gun you down first.
The British Army gunned down the Americans that showed up at Lexington and they knew the British Army would but they showed up anyway. In the 30’s people shut their doors and windows when the SS showed up to take their Jewish neighbors because they knew they would gun them down first. People like you are what the FBI is depending on. I am glad I am not your neighbor. If you can’t find the courage to stand up to tyrants in the street can you at least find the courage to vote against all democrats and RINO’s next election.
In 1930’s Germany, those who tried to do the right thing ended up dead or in the ghettos and camps with the Jewish people. This is a fact most forget.
Jewish ghettos were actually places where jews chose to live together to retain their separate culture and identity. The word ghetto didn’t have the same negative connotation back then.
The Jews were forced to live in the ghettos. No need to sugar-coat the facts.
Those who didn’t try to do the right thing were complicit in a horror
That’s true. I have talked to German’s who were kids during WWII. They told me if you asked too often what happened to your Jewish neighbor the SS gave you the chance to find out first hand. If you opposed the Nazis your “friends and neighbor’s” would rat you out. Children were told to keep quite and not say anything else their families would be reported to the SS and picked up. The Nazis made sure to keep their political opponents divided and isolated. They depended on law abiding citizens natural inclination to not question authorities , obey the rules and fear to make sure they had a free rein to do whatever they want. The democrats are the new fourth Reich and are using the same tactics.
Still though this does not absolve Germans of the WWII generation of their collective guilt for standing by and doing nothing to stop the Nazis. If we stand by and let the Democrats destroy the Constitution and traditional American culture then history will judge us as harshly as they do the Germans of the 1930’s and 40’s.
They had no 2nd Amendment.
Children were encouraged to rat out their parents.
Reading about Nazi Germany was where I first became aware of the indoctrination of children. Where the state was more important than family. Where teachers supplanted parents as the leaders of what was moral. That the state and teachers were perceived as the actual parents, not the ones that gave birth and raised you.
It’s exactly why we have got to destroy the Dept. of Education currently.
I wonder what the FBI would do if the blacks and antifas showed up to riot and protest.. that would b a real dilemma for them. Would they gun them down???
They would have left because they didn’t want to make their bosses mad.
No, they would join them in the protest.
Don’t ascribe courage to people who know it’s safe to riot and cowardice to people who know they will be killed or imprisoned for the same acts of “courage”. BLM isn’t winning because they’re more brave than you or me-they show up because they’re paid to show up and they’re winning because they were chosen to win.
Several instances in which local populations,…discouraged BLM/ANTIFA,..Coure de lain was one,…and IIRC WATTS was another.
Bloods/crips met them and said “Go away, we don’t want your crap here!” and they left.
And in C.D.L., citisens ran them off, the only “casualty” being one ‘protester’ who lost his shoe, lol.
Know that S.O.P. for ANY of these FBI “raids” and “arrests” or even the serving of Search warrants, is to notify local P.D., first.
And, you can bet there is AT LEAST ONE Local LEO, on scene and participating in the raid, which means the local Chief or Sheriff has ‘signed off’ on the police action.
And, it is a local LEO, that will step forward to actually make the arrest, to take the ‘suspect’ into custody read him his/her miranda warning, and transport to jail.
One more glaring example of how our local and State Governments have utterly failed to defend the 10th amendment, and assert States Rights.
Here in Chesterfield Cty outside of Richmond, when the feds came a knockin’ on Marine Brandon Raub’s door because of anti-govt FB posts, guess who was with the FBI? Chesterfield police and local sheriff.
You missed the point. Blm had backing of authorities.
The folks in the South side of Chicago would not be shot at, the middle class neighborhood folks would be killed.
I’m yer Huckleberry
I already assumed, long ago I am “on their list”, somewhere below Sundance, and take it as a badge of Honor, and a reaisation I have “thrown my hat over the wall”.
A group of irish lads, on a cross country hike, came to a wall, seemingly too high to scale, and no practical way to go around it.
They all threw their caps over the wall, committed to having no choice, but to follow.
A “patriot” is NOT someone who is ‘brave’, they are simply someone who realises inaction guarantees EVERYTHING they hold dear, progeny, livelihood, lifestyle, career and wealth is GONE, so they literally have NOTHING to lose, by engaging.
THEY telegraphed this, in their hubris, SAYING they would be compiling LISTS of those who aligned with “Trump” and later saying “we must not only destroy “Trump”, but insure his like can never rise again.”
Well, good luck with that, but know that WE can compile lists, too.
And in the end, we ARE and HAVE a far bigger Club than YOU.
I’m with you Dutchman, Maquis, Betsy Jones, Colkitto, Stillwater, Sundance and the many others here in that Big Club… I’m proud to be one of the “his kind”…we are the new cool kids!
Oh and by the way, Dads are back. Heads up that they could be driving minivans. Ps. If that is scary to you then you have no sense of humor
The whole J6 Op was thought up, planned, operationalized and exploited to scare the population into silence while our country is pillaged. The trials, convictions and extreme sentences are our ongoing reminders to behave, or else.
Read the current article on TCH re the real reasons for Jan 6. One of best things I’ve ever read. Incredibly eye opening. Makes sense of it all.
Yep Dutch, Same here, since about 1976 give or take.
Very well said. I agree to all of that!
Can they arrest half the country?
I am Spartacus!
Been that way for years… & we should wear it like a badge of honor.
No, I will not shut up.

Who cares, they bend us over daily.
And? We know that- we just don’t care. It’s our GOD given right to speak. It’s not a government given right.
I’m a vet too. I also have a ccw. Other permits. I’m on many of their lists….let them track me. I’m breaking no laws nor am I afraid.
Good, I figured I was already on several lists somewhere. One more will be good.
I hate the commie Globalist all day long do da do da! Screw them all and their lists oh the do da day!
Ⓜ️🅰️G🅰️
So many young voices screaming out of the darkness for the sake of our country going to ruin. Makes this old fossil proud to know their ready to stand and fight with us. God Bless them and America
The truly scary thing is about your comment is that while you may have meant it as sarcasm, it s probably quite accurate.
I see no attempt at sarcasm, bear in mind the main TOPIC of this post, which is Olivers song, AND the popularity of it.
Perhaps you need to adjust your pessimistic attitude?
First, whether it was or wasn’t sarcasm misses the point; I took it as such.
Second, I was specifically replying to a comment, not the video.
And third, I have every reason to be pessimistic-although I would describe my outlook as cold, sober realism.
Take off the rose colored glasses dm, or at least avail yourself of a wider variety of news and opinion sites. You might learn something.

i was just wondering if he had been deleted yet……they can’t tolerate truth.
He is definitely getting audited by the IRS
And likely raided by them with backup from DEA and ATF, if the past is a guide.
Do you realize by saying that, you are effectively telling everyone whom is brave enough to stand up, not to stand up because it might get icky? I suspect you do. Sadly at this moment 92 people agree with your cynical defeatist quip.
It’s not defeatist, it’s the truth. Better to be prepared than ignorant and blindsided.
They’ll probably send the IRS after him to get the money he made on his song.
I live outside Richmond, have been to Farmville many times, about an hour from me.
His bio says Anthony resides on 90 acres of rural country.I hope he has taken security measures wIth the FBI acting like deranged stormtroopers.
This is starting to remind me of the late 60’s and early 70’s (hippies) when everyone started protesting the Vietnam war.
I did not realize it at the time but there was so much propaganda from our government. Many people wrote songs in protest about the war and the government.
It started on the west coast and rapidly spread across the country. Ended up all the numbers and protesting had a lot to do with them pulling out of Vietnam. Man! They killed and wounded lots of American kids. Remember the draft?
Now all those radicals from the 60’s are on the left promoting the corrupt FBI and facist CIA and the war in Ukraine. The government was bad then but now they embrace it.
You noticed that too, the anti-establishments are now running the liberal governments all across the country. Go figure.
What they were, for the most part, was anti-white. Or just deluded and unhinged.
Not all of them. I was one of them. And believe it or not what was considered the left then is currently the right. So although my beliefs haven’t changed I am now a conservative.
Agree littleflower. Shows how far left we have moved as a country.
This song could be the CTH anthem!
same here; just saw your post after making mine.
Sounds as if you’re just American.
I was against the hippies and the anti govt protestors as well, and now Im on the other side. But there’s no contradiction here, because fundamentally, Im against the same people. They were pathological liars then and they are liars and hypocrites now.
My Dad was a doctor who was a godsend to my mother, who was stricken with COPD and asthma from early childhood. So I worshipped the medical proffession and believed everything they said. Now I’ve come to regard every pronouncement that comes from them not with just a grain of salt but a Roman centurion annual salary of salt. Because its been taken over by the very same people
Well said Littleflower. It used to be us young liberals who pushed back against government authority and coercion. Now the liberals/progressives just love it. When did autonomy and and that independent nature get redefined as conservative.
Remember when they “disliked” corporations, and billionaires? They’ve done a lot of 180s.
Exactly.
Whatever happened to these hippies with bumper stickers that screamed “Question Authority”?
Yes, or “I don’t agree with what you are saying but I will defend to the death your right to say it.”
Think of Bernie Sanders. Never held a job or worked a day in his life. Now he has 3-4 million$ homes. Crooked, lying piece of crap.
He is one of those rich men north of Vermont.
He is a trans communist
My daughter’s had Crohn’s disease for 20 years. You comment is an insult to feces!
In fact, all those radicals are running America’s universities and colleges, K-12 “public” education, Hollywood from top to bottom, corporate America, professional sports, much of government at every level, and most of the legal profession. Other than that, their “revolution” didn’t do so well, lol. But this is required to expose the Marxists for what they are and Americans will not put up with it forever.
i guess they figured out the profit to be made in govt.. commies did a good job flipping them in college, thru media.. they find a new common “enemy”, coopt them uturn and carry on destruction and control. interesting.
They’re also in the 70’s and 80’s plus a few in their late 60’s. Time stops for no one.
Not all of them;
but yes, the ones that sold out and got government jobs whether local, state or federal – they joined unions and sold their sous to the “company” store.
Now they ARE a the bureaucrats and politicians. Wouldn’t step up then, won’t step up now! It’s all Me Me Me!
Who knew hippie was short for hypocrite?
The only reason the hippies were against the government then is because they weren’t in it.
Now you see why it was a bad idea for hippies and their leftist philosophy to be in charge, because now they ARE the government and you see where we are.
Hippies always wanted “free everything” without having to work for it, and now they’ve wormed their way into the government and they’re getting their free stuff (and giving it to their constituents) courtesy of the American taxpayer.
It can’t last much forever, though – God told Adam, “…in the sweat of thy face shalt you eat bread…,” and, although leftism tries to defy that principle, God will not be mocked. A lot of righteous people will also be hurt by what is coming, though, so “forewarned is forearmed.”
Do I!! Spent 30 months of my youth in the Army. Lost many soldier friends for the greed of a few. Out before I was 21 years young. Imagine the good America could accomplish.
“I ain’t no Senator’s son…”
Not exactly. It helped end the draft, but most of the protesters had college deferments anyhow. And one reason the Vietnam War wound down for America is that the NVA and VC were savaged by the US military during the years 1968-1969. North Vietnam sacrificed the lives of some 350,000 troops in those two years. In a nation of 20 million
Its true that we lost 28,OOO, which is terrible but North Vietnam lost the equivalent of 3.5 million. This is why we could turn the war over to South Vietnam .. so long as we gave them air support. And the South Vietnamese were able to withstand a full blown conventional invasion in 1972 … with the help of God and a few B52’s
Vietnam only turned into a defeat when Dems cut off air support in 1974. Which is the DIRECT REASON Saigon fell in 1975
Yes there was propaganda from the govt .. but a great deal of the antiwar movement was shoveling just as much horsesh– umm, propaganda as the govt
We lost way more than that, 55-90k.
Let alone all of our boys who lost limbs or were damaged mentally.
And I remember how terribly they were treated when they came home. I hate propoganda!!!!
Horrific, perhaps America’s worst abomination. Almost everyone did it, too. Beyond sad.
My father was spit on. I was a little kid and I will never forget it or the face of the woman who did it. Hell would be too good for that piece of human excrement
My late brother Jim was spit on too as he was holding me in his arms at the Albuquerque airport. Happiest day of my young life to have him home. He just hugged me tighter and walked away carrying me.
Lost my best friend many years ago as he passed away from Acute Lymphatic Leukemia in his mid fourties (sp? argh 😠).
Sprayed on with Agent Orange.
Lost my oldest brother from the same disease but Bob was over 60. AFNG during the Vietnam war.
The draft had the lottery system. I was in college but was sweating bullets thinking my number was Coming up. My lottery number was 186, the year before they took them all. My year of the lottery the number only went to 156.
The “draft lottery” was the only lottery I ever “won’.
Turned 18 when ‘Nam was winding down. They hadn’t really been shipping
people over there like a few years earlier. But, I didn’t know that. I DID know
that if your number was 54 or less, then you were eligible for front line. Mine
was 27.
To say I was nervous is a colossal understatement.
and:.. “4 dead in Ohio..” I Didnt get it then.. but they were RIGHT! I was a kid.. my dad didnt say much, being a wwii vet. but looking back I now believe he hated the govt, the wars..
I am convinced they politically assasinated Goldwater, and literally JFK, BECAUSE neither as POTUS would have gone along with the MIC/ I/C plan to escalate in Viet Nam.
And I now wonder if the reason for the plan, was to have EXACTLY the result we ended up getting.
Put another way, I USED to believe many of what I viewed as “screw ups” by the U.S. Govt. were “UN-intended consequences” but now, after so many have proven to be intended, I start with the assumption any consequence, of any U.S. Govt. action thats bad for the U.S. people, is intentional, and a “prove me wrong” attitude.
Amen.
Your post reminded me of how they took out Goldwater. With one ad.
For treepers enjoyment: Read up on “The Daisy Ad”. Then read up on
the “ADA”, the group that got the ball rolling on said ad. Read, especially
on what they were up to in the decades prior to that. Might also read that
they were AGAINST pacifist left wingers.
For your viewing enjoyment, might also read up on Bill Moyers, LBJ’s
press secretary, that was portrayed as a terrific, nice, great, noble,
former divinity school candidate by any and all press.
And, made filthy rich by PBS over the years. A reward for work well
done. For helping the usual suspects to keep the bullets flying by
making Goldwater sound like what Johnson actually was.
Yes, Sundance honesty is good. Thanks for posting this.
The first comment on YT by SJM6791 says it perfectly:
This is not a song. It’s an anthem for 80+ million Americans who have been smeared, ignored, mocked, slandered, and robbed by their own government. Thank you Oliver Anthony!
Pray for this young man. He lives off grid in rural Virginia. Recently sober. He will face great challenges. Pray he has close family and friends to keep him grounded.
Amen
I said this to my husband this morning. We should be praying for him hard given all the money and attention coming to him. May the Lord protect him from the temptations…
I pray for his wisdom and discernment to wisely move forward.. and his protection.
Seems to me he also “harkens back” to the ORIGINS of “country western” music genre, that it seemed to move away from over the last 20 or so years.
He has “authenticity”.
👉 Might even call this contemporary folk music 🎶 🎵 👈
The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
John 1:5
Thank you for that scriptural inspiration.
You’re welcome at my campfire in Rural Minnesota anytime, Oliver Anthony.
We. Are. Winning.
This follow up video discussion is partly musician oriented but mostly guidance on living your best life. Worth watching.
It’s not just the Blue Collar anthem Sundance. It’s the White Collar anthem. No Blue Collar American can compete with Chinese products made with slave labor. No White Collar American can compete with AI, which the Wall Street Journal says will eliminate 30 to 40 million US White Collar jobs by 2030. As our sociopathic Overlords at the World Economic Forum have already told us “By 2030 you will own nothing and be happy”.
Only prayer and Divine providence are capable of defeating the Globalists and their anti human, anti God agenda.
I commend your thoughts, and your hope… but… This “defeat” will happen when, please. Evil has caused SO much human damage and suffering since the ‘beginning’, and is, still…. Again, “When will this ‘defeat’ occur?
Patience, Sturmudgeon,…patience.
This filth has built up over 100’s of years, while far too many of us willfully ignored it,..it won’t be cleaned out, over night.
How long did the Jews suffer in bondage in Egypt?
And, once “free” of the Pharoah, the wandered in the desert for 40 years,..
Frankly, such impatience is like the children on a family va-ca road trip, saying “are we there yet?” 5 minutes after leaving home.
WE are blessed to be living witnesses to an UNPARRELLED moment in history, the equivalent of the first coming of Christ, the American Revolution combined.
Frankly, too many have no appreciation for the journey, and are too focused on the destination.
Could we contemplate possibly getting a bit away from the escape from Egypt metaphor? Look at who is running the genocide show, and who is truly on the run.
Nice sequel to Charlie Daniels’ Simple Man….
And, right on top of “Try THAT in a small town” which recently got a LOT of “play” and attention, ironically because the WOKESTERS drew attention TO it, lol.
God sure has a great sense of humor…
I dare you guys to read the comments on YouTube. Just keep the Kleenex handy.
Thank you Sundance. This touched my heart as much as your “Labor Day Scruffnecks”.
They will kick in his door and assassinated him,,or do it with a sniper like ruby ridge
In the past several decades the U.S. government has imported tens of millions of immigrants. Estimates that I trust about the number of illegals are near 40 million.
It’s not the only factor shafting the American worker but this has been a big one that has kept inflation adjusted wages flat.
The us government hates American workers esp white males.
The US government’s entire purpose is to genocide and enslave whites and the middle class we create.
White males have been too hard to control.
They need a pliant population.
Please do NOT forget the Female Warriors. Many have stood up and ‘been counted’.
Absolutely.
Whenever wages get “too high” they flood the market with labor to drive down wages.
In the 1960’s to 1970’s Americans were beginning to prosper. We certainly weren’t as rich as we are right now but wages for working men were climbing. That is when they devised The Women’s Movement, convinced everyone that women need to be out working, and so we did. That flooded the market with low-wage working women.
Then, in the 1980’s 1990’s our government began flooding the labor market with illegals.
Unless they start pushing for Child Labor they have nowhere else to go to find low wage workers.
What they have done to this country makes me sick and angry.
Thank you to Oliver Anthony for expressing my disgust eloquently. I love his lyric about paying taxes so that a 300 pound food stamp person can purchase fudge candy. Food stamps should be for meat, vegetables, whole grains, milk, butter, and eggs.
This^^^^]
“In the late 60s to early 70s” . I was there, 12- 16 years old. A whole lot of the rest of readers,
posters here were also.
The “women’s movement” was created for another purpose, though. IMO.
They had to create it to feed the tax beast that they had put into place.
How many here lived in neighborhoods where the husband had only a high school diploma,
the mom stayed at home? Living in a 3 bedroom, 2 bath brick ranch? With 2 cars less then 5
years old in the driveway? Alongside the house, they had poured more cement. That was where
the small fold down camper, travel trailer, or boat was parked.
If it was a boat, it was towed to a nearby lake, where they had some property nearby. NOT
waterfront, but nearby. This describes my grandpa, who worked at the GM plant for 50 years.
He had this, and only a 10th grade education.
The “Women’s movement” started firing up in the early 70s. Nixon went to China in ’72
at Kissinger’s request. ( Why is this guy still plagueing the earth?). After that, the factories
started disappearing. And the women were brainwashed that it was discriminatory to not
go out and join the workforce. For the older ones, it became a requirement. Had to feed the
family somehow, and the job at the plant that their husband had worked at was long gone.
If they hadn’t convinced the women that staying at home was an evil, awful, male patriarchy
thing, maybe this would have happened.
People would have gone bankrupt, lost their homes, starved. And, maybe have rioted. But
they convinced a whole population that going out to work was just the bestest! Thing! Ever!
And kept all the money flowing into the tax coffers that would have been lost by the colossal
loss of industry.
That 70s Show had it right, for just one plot line. Red lost his job at the plant. Kitty went back
to work full time.
I agree with your hypothesis that they needed women to pay into the Payroll Tax System as well as all of the other reasons.
IMHO, you have the Premise wrong. There should be NO ‘food stamps’ in a society as rich as America and its “local” generosity.
I agree with you. My comment was about the song and the lyric about having to pay taxes for someone to buy candy. THAT IS ALL.
I am not going to detract from the article which is ABOUT THIS SONG and get into the weeds about food stamps. That is not what this article is about.
IT IS ABOUT THIS SONG.
Who remembers the pre-food stamps food assistance program where the government truck parked in front of the welfare office and people lined up to get plain white packages of flour with weevils, sugar, butter, “pasteurized, processed cheese food product” and a bucket of peanut butter with an inch of oil sitting on top? In my small Appalachian community in the second poorest county in Ohio, nearly every person in town qualified for this assistance.
I recall when this program was replaced with food stamps. Either the bar was raised for who qualified, or many who took the truck food were too proud to be seen counting out their stamps out to pay at the grocery store, because we never got food stamps. I also recall there were restrictions on what could be purchased with food stamps in the beginning, leading to a “black market” where recipients sold their food stamps at a discount for cash so they could buy Hostess cakes and cigarettes. I’ll bet the grandchildren and great-grandchildren of these food stamp “pioneers” are the 300 lb subjects of Oliver Anthony’s song.
Which county were you in?
One side of my family came from Wellston, the other side was from
down around Peebles. Great, great grand dad shot squirrels on Serpent Mound.
They didn’t know it was there until they put up some fire towers.
They are…I grew up in section 8….seen everything.
I hope everyone goes back to the first page of comments…lots of great songs posted there by other artists plus an interesting “selfie” interview of Oliver Anthony…he gives his email address. I sent him a quick note alerting him to being a “hero” in our beloved Treehouse.
This one touches on exactly as Sundance says- trillions are stake:
Wow. Tom MacDonald is a national treasure. Thanks for posting the link Paul.
You’re welcome- he’s spot on.
This song had me bawling my eyes out first good cry in years. So true so powerful.
Me too. I’m not a person who cries easily and it broke me.
While I didn’t cry Dante and Curious, it would have been my honor and privilege to be there with you when you were.
This is why I love the Treehouse so much… we’re all united in our love for our fellow human beings…. here and around the world.
I saw this last night and this man was described as an ‘off the grid Christian’! I find that an oxymoron as his song is videoed, loaded onto Social Media, full of foul language, plus looks like there are horns on his brow. I find nothing redeeming about it and won’t forward it to anyone.
There is always room for another hypocrite
Sorry he does not live up to your standards. But many a saint began as a sinner.
Every sinner has a future.
Every saint has a past.
Bless your heart.
So Christians can’t use video technology, social media or use foul language for emphasis? And, Mary, there are no tattoos on his brow; he is as God created him. We each are entitled to our opinion, unless your name is ‘Trump’, so bless your little pea-pickin heart, Mary.
So, he doesn’t fit the box you put him in, based on others description of him?
Maybe the issue is the box you created for “off the grid” and “christian.”
Maybe the box is the problem not this man. Food for thought.
It’s Ok karen. He doesn’t want to date you.
THAT👆was funny!
And your sh*t don’t stink.
Laughing here! Your response
is perfect….
I had to look at the lyrics again.
And that is the only word I could
find that “foul language “😂 could
be applied. Sh*t.
Judging people and their
message as not pure enough
because they used a bad word 🤬
Some people only hang out
with the Saints and Choir…/s
Sad.
We need more Oliver Anthonys
singing unscripted, authentic
songs from the heart.
Miss Mary, maybe listen to his testimony instead. He is just talking in this one about his road.
Thank you for that. Worth a watch.
Living off the grid still includes power, usually from solar panels + batteries + generator.
… and I doubt you are a Mary…
Mary, you are why there are so many desperate people looking for God’s Love and the Salvation of Jesus Christ who stay out of churches. Phony hypocrites like you who treat them like dirt and ignore them until they give up and leave.
Most churches have welcome signs on the marquee saying, “Come As You Are” but the congregation rejects those who actually do come as they are.
They can never be a pure and clean as you and your circle of hypocrite church friends. Your group never seems to regard the log in your eyes while you hate those with a speck in their eyes.
Only two out of the seven churches are deemed worthy in the end. Good luck with your contemptuous, better-than-thou attitude.
Misinformation?
Don’t tell ‘Mary’, that PDJT divorced several wives, and wasn’t born via immaculate conception, or she will stop supporting him, lol.
Mike Pence thanks you for your vote.
I see what you did there Sundance. Nice!
Here you go…learn something:
The Entrepreneurial Capitalist Alternative to New World Order Corporate Globalism.
Economic Policy Advice For Conservative State and Local Elected Representatives
Our book offers economic policy advice to conservative elected state and local representatives on implementing an entrepreneurial economic growth strategy that is an alternative to global corporatism.
The political and financial context of the advice is the difference between two versions of capitalism:
· regional entrepreneurial capitalism, and
· global crony corporate predatory capitalism.
For local and state elected leaders with an interest in pursuing an economic development option not dependent upon the one-world government agenda of the so-called New World Order, our policy advice would lead to high rates of new venture creation, and strengthened regional income and employment multiplier effects between small high technology firms within state and metro regions.
Our economic policy advice is directly contrary to the policy advice of the World Economic Forum aimed at influencing metro regional leaders.
The stronger regional economic relationships among firms in the state would tend to make the state economy less reliant on the vagaries of globalism and more reliant on internal self-sustaining regional economic growth.
Thank you Lord for men like this who tell the truth even when the truth might get them in trouble. Your love and protection on this man and anyone who stands for justice. May hard hearts be opened. Jesus make it so. Amen.
Orange man bad.
Beautiful words so many of us can relate to. It took only David with a sling shot and five smooth stones to slay Goliath. David was also a musician.
I saw where someone ‘recreated’ the David Goliath scenario.
Had some men practice with slings, and used ballistic gell used to access bullets ability to penetrate flesh, and technology to measure velocities, etc.
Finding was that in both accuracy, speed, impact etc. Goliath got hit with the equivalent of a .45 cal bullet, “right between the eyes”, and that was at IIRC 100 yards.
Just takes practice, detirmination, a sling and some rocks, …
It’s why I practice with my tactical level sling shot.
👉👉 1 stone for Goliath
the rest of the stones for Goliath’s warrior kinfolk 👈👈
Wonderful song!
They lie, cheat and steal and expect us to be okay with it because they say so.
Wonderful, heartfelt song.
great song
Another excellent music vid by new national treasure, Tom MacDonald… thank you PRH!
This one is my new hype song. My next tat- is the Betsy Ross flag…tattered, waving, starting in black and white, transitions to color with “We the People” across it. On my right forearm.
I have one flag tatted on my back set as the back drop to the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (my ship).
Awesome my friend!
As the communist used to say: “ARISE PEASANTS AND CAST OFF YOUR CHAINS!”
Average household income in District of Columbia is over $90,000. Highest in nation, higher than Cali and Alaska. Almost twice the income of Mississippi which is lowest.
For those- average not median. 90k average….crazy.
He has authentic talent.
Beautiful picking, vocals, lyrics and human honesty. Singing harmony with others here on the Treehouse!
How I think of him too.
Authentic.
He is pretty good on that Resonator Guitar!!! 🤠
And THAT is what this nation was built on. My Scot-Irish ancestors singing that to King George.
The romanized British aristocracy used to criminalize the bagpipes for fear of uprisings.
A MAGA WOODY GUTHRIE!!! 🤔
The so-called New World, will soon enough be yesterday’s excrement. No honesty, no decency, no future.
America is a dangerous place for dictators.
Is anybody else getting virus warnings from this site?
I’m getting a Spectrum Cable fishing scam then later getting a msg about a virus.
Anybody else see that?
Use Brave, not goggle to get here.
Thanks for the replies all.
I use Edge.
I might try Brave of another browser.
I never use google.
I use the Brave browser. I do not ever have issues like I read that some of you have.
Thanks all.
Nope. Not once in over 18 years of coming here.
Thanks all.
The song is touching every community…..
👆👆👆 Wow. Thanks Sync.
When we don’t let them divide us…we are powerful.
It’s why they work so hard at dividing.
I love reaction videos.
This man is spot on.
Bless him.
Amen.🙏
As much as I love his singing it’s the lyrics that get me. Oliver Anthony has a rare talent.
Disturbing! My first attempt to view it I got a Warning that malware was. Trying to infect my device. It shocked me & woried me until I realized it’s a censoring effort!!! They really hate us and don’t want us to ever express opinions contrary to their controlled narrative.
Truly Amazing recording. It appears he recorded it live outside. The sound quality is astonishing . I get chills listening to it. It’s things like this that make our day… Thank you Lord Jesus.
Yet another irony; with the development of the internet, and “apps” like I tunes, etc. it was optimistically predicted that the newspaper and Broadcast and Cable news industry, the big Studio Music industry, and the Big Studio Movie and telivision entertainment industries would go the way of the dinosaurs.
After all “anyone” with a modest investment, could record Studio quality music, and instead of marketing it thru a big studio and getting pennies per recording sold, they could market it as a “download” and get $1.00 per sale.
For around $1000, anyone can set up to do podcasts from home, and with content people WANT, compete with “the big guys” and even with entertainment, its now possible to produce and market entertainment bypassing the MSM.
BUT, for years this prediction failed to truly manifest, because people are “creatures of habit” and it was EASIER just to rely on the “boob tube” for newd and entertainment, and buy Dvds.
But, BECAUSE all 3 industries “went woke” and produce crap content, they are literally DRIVING their audiences away.
In 2022, MSM and Big Tech each “lost” $1 BILLION, and 2023 is obviously going to be higher, and I saw recently a projection of 5 years, before both are GONE.
BECAUSE the content is crap, THAT is driving people to break their habit, and go to the “work” of seeking out better content: to ‘cut the cord’.
More broadly, TPTB encouraged dependency and discouraged self-reliance, in every area of our lived, and with great success.
Don’t produce your own food, buy it pre-prepared.
Don’t know how your body works, depend on a DOCTOR.
Don’t seek out news and entertainment, just veg in front of the boob tube.
Don’t be financially responsible, just sign on to the credit trap.
But, it is THEIR actions, which are causing people to turn away from dependency to self-sufficiency, individually, as families, as communities and as an article linked to and quoted by laurie vass (above) for STATE Governments to focus on making their economies more self-reliant.
For every action, there is an equal and opposite RE-ACTION, is not just a concept of physics, it applies to politics and culture, as well.
Rebel against the elite! Rebel against the political class! Overthrow them and take our country back! Free all political prisoners!
There seems to be a revolution brewing folks. And it is long overdue but they have pushed us to the breaking point.
WEST BY GOD VIRGINIA… Country Roads Take Me Home… MAGA…
Trump should get this guy to open for him at his next rally.
Rich Men North of Richmond, top 10 song of the year. Beautiful song. And so appropriate for our time.
I saw this on Truth. This man speaks for millions of us.
Awesome song because it is so timely
Preach it brother!
The only I issue I have with this is the north of richmond part. There are rich men (and multinationals) everywhere and there are even big ag, big pharma and government down south who will F you over. It ain’t just nyc and LA
Think of it this way, where do the branches of our government reside?
Two of the three branches are reliably against the will of the American people. The third is often out of step, as well.
Almost all of what you are talking about is downstream from Rich Men North of Richmond.
I’m a serious redneck, but even I have heard “A Boy Named Sue” and taken a course in poetic licence taught by someone named Brandon.
Also how about all the defense contractors making $ off of Ukraine “aid”….they are not all up North. I love this guy’s righteous anger but the $ flows everywhere to those who would leave their fellow Americans behind
Excuse me but where is the Pentagon located?
Please think big picture.
I get your angst but not seeing this as a problem generating from Rich Men North of Richmond will constantly have you playing whack-a-mole.
Exactly it’s a reference to DC used to rhyme and catch one’s attention.
His life is about to change in a rather dramatic ways, good!

Is that a treehouse in the background 😂
Deer stand
Where one watches the world from, like a treehouse.
A harbinger.
Ones who witnessed the 1960s will understand.
Lord bring in the big bucks very heavy to that deer blind this and every year.
The right song for these wrong times. Support this good man.
Rolling Stone is offended! Lol
The MAGA movement has a singer!
Anyone who grew up in a small town, worked hard, and has open eyes, has a connection with this old soul.
“republicans and democrats, lord I swear they’re all just full of crap, I ain’t never seen a good city slickin bureaucrat”
We don’t often hear a song that voices the pain the people feel. Sometimes, it takes such a powerful song to move people to act.
The UNcivil war began in 2016 between small town rural America and the decrepit big cities. Starve them out. Don’t give them any of your dollars. Don’t shop, don’t attend sporting events, don’t go there, and don’t give up your ballot to fraudsters by not voting.
And…….
Maybe hijacking a thread, but they are rolling out indictments as we speak….
Going north or south, through Georgia? ( East or West, for that matter).
If you are going on 1-85, 1-75, 285, 1-20 or GA 400 going through metro
Atlanta, then you are almost guaranteed to be passing through Fulton County.
The county who’s DA is currently preparing RICO charges against Trump.
So….. spend NOTHING in Fulton County. If you are coming south on 1-75,
gas, eat, stay, get entertainment before you cross the Chatahoochee River.
Coming north: if you get past McDonough, you’ve gone too far. 1-20 East:
stop around Douglasville. 1-20 West: stop after Conyers. 1-85 West: Stop
on of before Satellite Blvd. 1-20 East: stop by Douglasville. Gas up before
285 , a ton of it’s exits are in Fulton. Coming South on GA 400: don’t
spend any money past Forsyth County.
Thanks in advance , treepers, metro Atlantans.
Make Fulton the new Bud Light! And, let them know why, later.
Just wait a week and blow up the comments to The Chamber of Commerce.
I live in a suburb of Minneapolis and I go out of my way to not even drive through there. What happens if you need a tow truck? They get your money and you get screwed. What happens if someone crashes into you? They let them off and you get screwed. What happens if you stop at a red light and get carjacked? Screwed. Buy something? Pay extra tax, screwed again. Have to buy gas? Pay more in the cities, get screwed.
I understand if you live somewhere and can’t move but you can still drive out of the city to do your business and have fun in a much safer location with less freaks.
Understood. But if you are coming north going to the gulf or coasts,
metro Atlanta is almost unavoidable. If you are driving a long haul truck,
metro Atlanta is almost unavoidable. Going to or from Alabama, Tennessee,
the Carolinas? Back home to Canada, Michigan, Wisconsin? Same deal.
All I’m trying to get done here is just to isolate spending in the one county
that 3 major interstates, and one major beltway passes through. People
still buy beer, they just don’t buy Bud Light.
People will still have to go through Georgia on the interstates. They just
can avoid spending one. red. cent. anywhere in Fulton County’s borders.
And, it’s a big ass county.
