Flags at Half-Staff in Honor of Dolly Parton
PIERRE, S.D. – Today, Governor Larry Rhoden ordered that flags be flown at half-staff statewide effective immediately until sunset on Tuesday, September 1, 2026, as a mark of respect for the memory of Dolly Parton.
This announcement is consistent with President Trump’s order, which can be found here.

Cannot belief it. Then again thinking Rodent has an IQ of ground squirrel . Once lowering the flag was for true heroes. If John Wayne would die during Rodent watch he would shutdown state government for a day.
For a long time ( since liberals like pelosi ) I’ve been saying “liberals have ruined my Democratic Party” .
Phil Donahue interviewed John Wayne 1979. If you want to know what a true Democrat is you should google that interview.
Tho I agree no actor or musician is worthy of flying the our flag at half staff.
Both Parties are guilty of that.
As a Retired SGM 1967-1990 I only met who deserves such an honor Audie Murphy ( Medal of Honor recipient ) is the only one!

As a Soldier myself, let me tell you that your self-serving self-promotion dishonor’s your service.

Still can’t spell can you Stace
LOL had that thought too
We see you missed your meds!! Trump ordered the flags be flown at half mast. A former time flags were lowered for a respected entertainer was for Bob Hope. Be more like Dolly and Bob, everyone around you will be much happier!!
When you get to be President or Governor, then you can lower the flag for whomever you want.
Petitions will be available in a couple years.
I just googled the information: Both Trump and Biden offered her the Presidential Medal of Freedom, and she declined it because it would appear political.
She deserved it. It won’t hurt anybody to fly the flag at half-staff.
Trump just changed the name of Lake Ontario to Lake America
Now THAT’s stupid.
Why?
Are you a anti American trans? Illegal alien?
So you disagree with woman have a vagina and men have a penis?

Dolly Parton was a huge trans supporter. M agats are so fragile.
1) Tributes to Dolly are rolling in from everywhere, including Buckingham Palace, showing her scope of influence across the globe.
2) This is based on the President’s order. It makes sense that the Governor of a ruby red state would follow his lead. Criticism of this action must be coming from angry liberals.
3) Are residents of The Philippines eligible to be Governor of South Dakota?
Steve, your turbocharged Kirby vacuum has definitely sucked most of your brain into the dust collector.
That’s about the most brain damaged thing I have read in quite awhile.
You’re an idiot.
