@blackhawkce457 @stephanegaddis Thank you for your service and my freedom. 🇺🇸

@caseyle1979 @stephanegaddis Really is. Just play your music and be on with it.

Let’s be honest, Bret Michaels and Martina McBride should have been jumping at any gig they could get. Ain’t nobody listening to their 💩 anywhere else.

@AmericaPapaBear Irrelevant.

Describe Bret Michaels with one word. I can't wait to see the comment section on this one.

@Sassafrass_84 I agree. So disappointing.

I didn’t have Martina McBride crashing out on my bingo card for May. She should be humbled and honored to be asked to help celebrate our nation’s 250th anniversary. I’ve supported her since I was a child, but I can’t continue backing people who fold under pressure. Our nation is deeply divided right now because of the Democrats’ hatred. It should have been country over party.

@GuntherEagleman This tracks.

Four liberals walk into a bar: Natalie Maines, Garth Brooks, Bret Michaels, and Martina McBride. The bartender asks, “What’ll it be?” All four say, “Bud Light.” The bartender turns to the crowd and yells, “Good news, everybody!” The whole bar goes silent. “What happened?” someone asks. The bartender grins and says, “We finally found who’s been buying it.”

@libsoftiktok He’s characterizing himself.

Leftist activist Bruce Springsteen went on an unhinged anti-Trump rant during his recent DC concert, calling America a "reckless, unpredictable, predatory, untrustworthy, rogue nation."

@BuzzPatterson Just, oof. That’s all I got for this.

They’re boinking. Whaddya think? Yes, No?

@RobCarson Can we not just get @KidRock to take her time? I’d love that.

WHAT A STUPID THING TO DO. This is an honor to be invited for this once in a lifetime celebration, and she's slapping us in the face. THE CONCERT WILL BE BETTER WITHOUT HER. It would be like Bruce Springsteen saying he wasn't going to perform there. WHO CARES?

@Real_Ames She just lost a chunk of her fanbase.

So let me get this straight... Martina McBride performed at Democrat events for years without a problem. But a concert celebrating America's 250th birthday is where she draws the line because it's "political"? That's not avoiding politics. That's choosing a side and pretending it's principle. America's 250th celebration will go on just fine without her. 🇺🇸

@catturd2 That wig was the only talent he has left.

Breaking … Bret Michael’s wig has officially dropped out of the Freedom 250 concert in D.C.

@IngrahamAngle @jjona0000 I’m so sick of the performers unwilling to openly love this country and all she stands for.

America’s 250th should be about the troops, the workers, the families, and the generations who built this country. Instead, some performers are treating our nation’s birthday like a political protest. Most Americans still love this country. And they’re tired of being told they shouldn’t.

@MAGAVoice He was the best.

Legendary Toby Keith: “Never apologize for being Patriotic… F*ck’em” AMEN 🙏

@atensnut He should’ve retired in the 80s when he was good.

Who? 🤔

@mtgreenee Why would you quit your constituents if you really felt this strongly?

We just said goodbye to our good friends Thomas and Carolyn Massie. The civil war in the Republican Party is successfully gutting the true America Firsters, like myself, Thomas and others. But I don’t think most Americans realize the extent of what’s happening, how bad it is, and what it’s going to produce. After taking the hard principled stand against war with Iran in June 2025 and releasing the Epstein files, the neocon controlled Republican establishment now backed by the President set out to destroy us. Thomas and I took two different routes but ended up in the same place, which delivered a message to our colleagues to never go against the President even on issues he himself promised to do and at the same time delivered the louder stronger message to the American people that no matter what they say on tv, rally stages, committee hearings, campaign ads, or stump speeches, Republicans and Trump have overwhelmingly rejected America First and will do anything possible to cut the head off of anyone who tries to fly its banner. The extent and extremes to which they have gone should shock everyone. For me, I was Trump’s loudest champion for years supporting him when no one else would, voting with him 98% of the time, and he called me a traitor for releasing the Epstein files, refusing to support war with Iran, and fighting against the White House’s bad policies that only serve their donors like a 10 year moratorium on state rights to regulate and make laws on AI and data centers. And yet my perfect conservative voting record, legislative accomplishments like the House passing my articles of impeachment of Biden’s DHS Secretary that oversaw the invasion of our country, passing my bill making it a felony to trans children under 18, my work as DOGE Chair defunding waste fraud and abuse and so much more, suddenly meant nothing to low educated Republicans that are easily manipulated by bot armies and bought and paid for social media influencers that spread absurd lies about me. After supporting the Republican Party by paying all of my dues to the NRCC every Congress, endorsing and campaigning for Republican candidates, and spending millions and traveling the country to get Trump elected, to be called a traitor and not a single Republican (even the ones I helped get elected like JD Vance and others) not to utter a word of public support for me, it became abundantly clear that the Republican Party is something I can no longer support and want nothing to do with. None of my policy views have changed, but everything changed about the man I supported to be president and the party I supported to gain the majority. They are all under full capture and control. And if you refuse to be captured and controlled with them, then their captors will set out to kill you, and the party sits in silence while it happens. What they just did to Thomas Massie is unforgivable. I saw it all coming early, had just watched my friend Charlie Kirk assassinated, and knew they were going to do all of it and probably worse to me too, so I refused to allow it to happen to me, my family, and my district, so I resigned. But Thomas stayed in the fight and they slaughtered him with tens of millions of foreign donor dollars that fueled lies, slander, character assassination, and even broke their own laws to do it. They told lies to Kentucky’s 4th district that Massie had turned into a liberal Democrat, voting for Democrat policies, and even made vicious lying illegal AI ads showing him in a sexual relationship with AOC and Ilhan Omar. Even though ALL of it was horrific lies proven wrong with his own 14 year impeccable America First liberty driven voting record, naive older voters in his district were easily fooled by the AIPAC and Israel funded campaign lies, and voted for a new candidate who refused every single debate with Thomas Massie and has no voting record to prove what he stands for at all. The capture is complete. What will you do about it?

@PamelaHensley22 She really has huge talent. I’m so disappointed that she refuses to celebrate this country.

Am I the only one who doesn't know who Martina McBride is?

@AngelaBelcamino When people show you who they really are, believe it.

It’s crazy to me that simply bringing artists together—like Bret Michaels, Martina McBride, and others—to celebrate our country’s history has become political. When did appreciating America stop bringing people together and start dividing us?

@RealHickory Well deserved.

Martina McBride is finding today out what happens when you go full Dixie Chick stupid.

@Bubblebathgirl But seriously, is anyone really devastated? He should’ve retired years ago.

Bret Michaels Drops Out of Trump-Backed Freedom 250 Event, Citing Threats Rocker Bret Michaels has become the latest artist to pull out of the Freedom 250 concerts in Washington, D.C. In his statement, Michaels said the event “has evolved into something much more divisive than what I agreed to be a part of.” He added: “Concerns have also been raised regarding the safety of my fans, band, crew, family and myself, including threats that are completely unfounded and unforgivable.” Sad to see artists facing threats for simply wanting to celebrate America’s 250th birthday. Prayers for safety for Bret Michaels, his fans, band, crew, family, and all innocent patriots involved. (Video: AI)

Performed at Obama’s White House in 2009 with zero hesitation, but bails on America’s 250th under Trump? Her last original album dropped in 2016. She’s been riding royalties ever since. This decision might actually make them stop. What a shame such a great talent doesn’t love this country.

Martina McBride just crapped all over her entire fanbase. What a shame.
