Remember when Trump wanted to kill drug dealers and people applauded? (I did). Now he is letting them out of prison. Depending on who you listen to, President Donald Trump’s commutation is either a powerful statement about prison reform, an outreach to black voters, or a signal to his collusion co-conspirators that he will get them […]

1. Disgraced former FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe wants immunity or he won’t talk — As members of Congress attempt to call the fired official his lawyer has demanded that “no testimony or other information provided by Mr. McCabe could be used against him in a criminal case.” — The Congressional investigation will be focused on […]

You almost start to feel bad for Alabama Democrats — the election of Sen. Doug Jones in 2017 has fried their brains. They truly seem to believe that Alabama is a purple state. They believe that Gov. Kay Ivey’s re-election is in doubt because Tuscaloosa Mayor Walt Maddox is a candidate who can lead them […]

1. Two remaining statewide races, lieutenant governor and attorney general, got ugly at the end and will remain that way for the next 6 six weeks — The crowded AG field all but guaranteed a run-off and incumbent Steve Marshall will have to beat back Troy King’s gambling money. — In lt. gov. race Twinkle Cavanaugh’s name […]

Conventional wisdom in the era of Trump is just out the window. Trump has the ability to take the media’s chosen narrative and destroy it with the world’s most powerful Twitter account. We can pretend that this whole story is “Trump vs. the NFL”, but it’s not. Americans view this as “Trump/Americans/the military/the flag/the anthem/apple […]

1. Primary election day is here in Alabama; biggest races to watch are for Governor, Lt. Governor, and Attorney General — Sample ballots can be found on the Secretary of State’s website, a ballot I filled out can be found on my Facebook page. — Remember: 25-30 percent turnout is expected and crossover voting rules are in […]

You probably have heard about the latest attack ad that is getting heavy play across the state of Alabama. The ad hits Attorney General Steve Marshall for having a cousin who works for the Poarch Creek Indians, and it makes the accusation that Marshall himself might be an Indian. Is the attack here that Marshall […]

A lack of publicly available polling on Alabama’s primary races is hindering the coverage of June 5th’s primary races. But Alabama pollster Ray Evans with Status America has been conducting a rolling poll of the races for months. He’s been polling since 1967 and has been right 95 percent of the times. He said he […]

1. No one in Alabama politics is actually paying attention to what Gov. Kay Ivey is doing on school safety, which is … almost nothing — Democrat front-runner Walt Maddox seems to think Ivey wants to arm teachers, which is not true. He “… believes arming teachers and administrators is an insane idea,” a campaign spokesman […]

Yesterday, days before a primary election,  Governor Kay Ivey announced that she is launching the Alabama Sentry Program. Most of the political media in Alabama took the easy out on this story implying Ivey was arming people at school. The thought is that this is insane and Kay Ivey will lose votes for this crazy […]

1. President Donald Trump regrets hiring AG Jeff Sessions, reports say he will fire him after Mueller report  — Even though Sessions was the first senator to support Trump, the president cannot stop blaming him for his problems after he recused himself from the Russia problems. — Even though Sessions is clearly the MVP of the […]

On June 5, Alabama voters will go to the polls to elect an attorney general — a race that by all accounts is very tight — that includes current Alabama AG Steve Marshall, a former Alabama AG Troy King, former federal prosecutor Alice Martin and former criminal court judge Chess Bedsole.

If you followed Congressman Mo Brooks’ campaign for U.S. Senate and his campaign for re-election to the U.S. House, there was one theme his opponents used: Mo Brooks was not pro-Trump in 2016. Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s Super PAC spent millions pushing that message across the state of Alabama and it seemed to be effective […]

1. President Donald Trump is on the campaign trail again, as if he ever stopped — While Trump was campaigning for Congresswoman Marsha Blackburn, she spoke for 45 seconds, and he had no idea who her opponent is. — He continues to hammer national themes including taxes, immigration, the military, McCain, Schumer, and Pelosi. 2. […]

Is the Alabama Republican Party willing to allow an ignorant, racist, anti-Semitic, liar to represent them in the fall? https://twitter.com/WagtheDog68/status/1001497916769558529 According to word out of the ALGOP, maybe not. This shouldn’t even be an issue, but it is. Jim Bonner is NOT former Congressman Jo Bonner, nor is he related to him, but the similar […]

1. Lying about immigration is becoming a full-time beat for the media — There were a series of outrages over the weekend, none of which were true. — 1,500 kids are not missing, Trump isn’t caging children, and Trump doesn’t have a prison bus with baby seats in it. 2. Attack ads out in GOP […]

Radio talk show host Dale Jackson and Dr. Waymon Burke take you through this week’s biggest political stories including: — Is Alabama going to lose a Congressional seat and can it be stopped? — Did State Representative Will Ainsworth go too far with the way he asked the governor to call a special session? — […]

It is late May and we are talking about the NFL. This normally does not happen but for some reason the NFL wanted to get back into the culture war over entitled NFL brats kneeling about police brutality or something. The NFL’s announcement should be music to the national GOP ears, and more importantly, to […]

1. President Donald Trump pulls out of North Korea summit, American media cheers, North Korea wants back in — Trump announced the news in a letter where he both threatened nuclear war and invited North Korea back to the table after North Korea destroyed a nuke site, sat down with South Korea, and released three Americans. […]

Hopefully, the last week and a half of the GOP primary race for governor will be more illuminating than the race up to this point. The candidates hoping to unseat the governor should be directing their energy to job creation and ways to improve the economy. The two front-runners have an argument for being job creators, […]

1. A conclusion that is obvious, but not being drawn: Jared Kushner is probably in the clear — Kushner had his temporary security clearance revoked months ago, leading to speculation that he was dirty. He just got that clearance approved. — If he was under any threat of being compromised this would not have happened, […]

As the calls to investigate the investigators continue to grow, America has clearly started to tire of non-stop news coverage and the politicking off of the narrative of the narrative that the Russians and Trump campaign colluded to steal the election from Hillary Clinton. Congressman Mike Rogers was asked on WVNN this morning if he […]
