Alabama has been through a lot over the last few years. A speaker of the House was convicted and a governor lost his office over an affair with a political operative/concubine provided by a shady special interest group. It hasn’t been great and the attorney general of the state has been absent in most of […]

1. Special Counsel Robert Mueller questioned by a judge about the legitimacy of parts of the investigation — Judge T.S. Ellis III questioned whether or not Mueller’s team had a reason to be going after former Donald Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort other than to get Trump. — The judge said, “You don’t really care about […]

Former Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore is a controversial figure, no doubt. Those on the left hate him, some on the right love him, and most Alabama voters just want him to go away. But like a recurring rash, Alabama Republicans cannot shake the non-stop Roy Moore news. Recently Moore announced he was suing his […]

1. Giuliani thinks the president could be subpoenaed, now he says Trump didn’t know about the payment, and most think Mueller wants to take down Trump — After dropping a bombshell on “Hannity” Wednesday night, Giuliani told ABC News that the chance Trump is subpoenaed is 50/50. — Giuliani also told NBC news Trump was shocked […]

Every day a member of the media whines about how their profession is under attack. These attacks generally consist of people telling them that their stories are biased and that they are untrustworthy. Some of this criticism is fair, much of it is not. But what is clear, at least in Alabama, is that the […]

1. Former Trump campaign aide says the Special Counsel’s focus is Russian collusion, President Donald Trump lies again — Michael Caputo says Mueller’s team knows “more about the Trump campaign than anyone who ever worked there” and says they are still very much interested in collusion. — Trump and his team continue to make his life worse […]

1. Gov. Kay Ivey’s poll numbers continue to look good, Huntsville’s mayor Tommy Battle is in second place with only 11 points — In a poll of 600 Alabamians, Ivey leads the four person GOP field with 47 percent. She leads in all demographic groups. — Battle is strong on his home turf of North […]

1. In a move that shocks no one, Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s questions for Trump have “leaked“ — Mueller’s questions hit on Trump-Russia, his family, Moscow real estate deals, Jeff Sessions, the firing of James Comey, and more. — President Trump says the release of the questions for him is “disgraceful“; he would be nuts to sit […]

Another week has passed and the American media has completely beclowned themselves. There is a bevy of embarrassments for critics of the media to choose from. MSNBC’s Joy Reid declared she was hacked, said the FBI was looking into her hacking, and then opened her show on Saturday by declaring “I genuinely do not believe […]

1. The White House Correspondents’ Dinner exposed the biases of the press, also exposed them as thin-skinned — The worst joke of the evening, which exposed the press as elitist, defensive, detached, cruel, blind and made-up of biased Democrats, was a joke about Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders that would ruin the career of any conservative: “Like, […]

Radio talk show host Dale Jackson and Dr. Waymon Burke take you through this week’s biggest political stories including: — What is going on with Alabama Democrats? Do they have new ideas? Why are they so feisty? — Which candidate for Governor can claim the mantle of “job creator”? Gov. Kay Ivey or Mayor Tommy […]

When then-candidate Donald Trump was raising questions about Hillary Clinton’s health, he had the guts to make those allegations himself. One of our gubernatorial candidates is 73-years-old. She also has what most people believe is an insurmountable lead, low-unemployment numbers, and an overall good reputation after taking over for a lecherous old fool. Because there are […]

1. President Donald Trump admits to hiring Michael Cohen to deal with Stormy Daniels, Cohen pleads “the fifth“ — After months of denying, official denials, and obvious hedging Trump finally admits he hired Cohen to deal with the payout details to silence pornstar Stormy Daniels on “Fox & Friends”. — Michael Cohen, who everyone is telling […]

Much has been made about the Republicans bailing on Congress, probably rightly so. The Speaker of the House and other leaders are on their way out and so are some backbenchers. The math looks bad, the general consensus seems to be that the Republicans are going to lose the House, and people want out. Alabama […]

1. Sen. Doug Jones finally comes around and announces he will vote YES on Mike Pompeo after it doesn’t matter — After days of non-committal answers from Sen. Jones, and nudging from Congressman Mo Brooks, his office finally commits to voting to confirm Mike Pompeo as Secretary of State. — Jones didn’t commit until the nomination was a lock with Republican […]

Math continues to be a stubborn thing for some in politics. If polls are snapshots in time, if a series of polls create trends, and if real-world results matter, Republicans continue to be in bad shape for the 2018 midterms. In Arizona, a Republican held onto a seat vacated by Rep. Trent Franks, after a […]

1. Ugly Alabama Democrat debate continues to highlight rejected ideas and portray them as profound — Lottery, gambling, Medicaid, and more spending continue to be the main argument for Alabama Democrats even though there is no evidence they have any appeal among voters. — Tuscaloosa Mayor Walt Maddox went at former Chief Justice Sue Bell Cobb […]

Corporate boycotts are all the rage. Last week we have a boycott of the notoriously liberal Starbucks because two men wouldn’t leave when asked and now Starbucks is closing stores to do “implicit bias training”. In Alabama, a Waffle House in Saraland came under attack after a video showed an intoxicated and angry Chikesia Clemons being […]

I shouldn’t have to make a case against drunk driving. We all know it is wrong, it is deadly, and it ruins many lives. But people still do it. FULL DISCLOSURE: I have driven when I have had too many drinks, and I regret it even though I have never had any adverse outcomes. Not […]

1. After a great week for President Trump, the DNC files lawsuits and the mainstream media pretends nothing changed — After Trump legislative affairs director Marc Short stated he knows of no desire to fire Rod Rosenstein and Robert Mueller, Politico headline read, “Trump official won’t rule out firing Mueller”. — Hillary Clinton’s campaign’s favorite reporter says President Trump’s attorney […]

Radio talk show host Dale Jackson and Dr. Waymon Burke take you through this week’s biggest political stories including: — Did any of Gov. Kay Ivey’s challengers damage her in the latest GOP Gubernatorial debate? — Can Birmingham actually block legislation from the state legislature over perceived racial issues?

For some reason the popular consensus in Alabama politics is that now-Governor Kay Ivey single-handedly killed the Alabama’s Prepaid Affordable College Tuition in cold-blood. That would be impressive if it were true, but it is not. But this is politics, and sometimes the ends justify the means. Ivey’s opponent, Mayor Tommy Battle of Huntsville is […]
