For some reason Democrats don’t want to know how many illegal immigrants are actually in the country. It’s odd, they seem to be perfectly content with allowing them to stay, giving them legal status, and forgiving almost all their discretion, but they are not inclined to show us how many people they are actually willing […]

1. Democrats continue to push for a repeal of the 2nd Amendment while demanding you stop pointing it out — A former supreme court justice, thousands of protesters, law professors, and multiple media outlets are now calling for the end of the 2nd Amendment. — CNN’s Chris Cuomo says “no one” is calling for this repeal, The […]

It may be a bellwether, it may mean nothing. The opinion about whether any special election means anything is generally based on where you stand politically. State House District 21 in Madison County, Alabama, probably doesn’t mean much in the grand scheme of things. Former Head of Public Safety for the city of Huntsville Rex […]

1. Democrats put illegal immigrants first again, raise concerns over a census question — The Trump administration will be asking people their citizenship status in the next census, Democrats feel this will cost them Congressional seats. — The fear or feature of the question, depending on who you ask, is that illegal immigrants will not fill […]

It’s fair to say that on the issue of guns, sometimes Democrats want to keep their actual opinions close to the vest. They assure you, as Vox did yesterday, that the “March for Our Lives” was about gun control not gun confiscation. The media insists that implying otherwise is engaging in hysterics and fear-mongering. But […]

1. President Donald Trump goes after Russia and expels 60 diplomats, Russia vows to retaliate — The Trump administration’s expulsion of the diplomats, and the closing of a Seattle consulate, signify the toughest stand against Russia thus far. — Russia responded by asking Twitter users how to respond, specifically followers of the Russian Embassy were asked “What U.S. […]

The “blue wave is coming”, or so Democrats would have you believe. Much like in 2010, Democrats view State House seats as pickup opportunities you never would have envisioned in the years prior. Tomorrow’s special election for Alabama State District 21 probably isn’t one of those opportunities. Republican Rex Reynolds is taking on Democrat Terry […]

1. The “March for Our Lives” draws millions in over 800 cities, it features vulgar/confusing signs & attacks on politicians — The march was organized by students but featured an overtly political message: that Republicans must be defeated and gun control must be enacted. — Fox News polling shows that this non-stop barrage of attacks on gun owners and […]

We have seen Ali-Frazier, we watched The Rock-Hulk Hogan, and if Vince McMahon could stop screwing around with the XFL reboot, maybe we could get “Crazy Uncle Joe” vs. The Donald. This is a match where everyone would win because two of America’s largest big mouths would get punched in the mouth. We could raise […]

1. The Tea Party movement is officially dead, Congress passes absurd spending bill  — The House passed the legislation Thursday, voting 256-167 with Democrats and Republicans coming together to pass it less than 24 hours after the 2,300-page bill was made public — Sen. Rand Paul failed to kill the bill, Alabama Republicans Mo Brooks (Huntsville) […]

We have plenty of gun bills, we lack action

Is the Alabama legislature serious about dealing with the issue of school violence? If they are, it sure doesn’t seem like it. Yes, we have bills, lots of bills, some good and some bad. We have a bill about allowing teachers to carry, a bill about allowing volunteers to carry, a bill about metal detectors, […]

1. President Donald Trump and fellow Republicans decide to spend more, without even reading or debating the bill — Trump on Wednesday threw his support behind a $1.6 trillion spending bill, defying House conservatives and handing a victory to GOP congressional leaders. — The bill will include $641 million border fencing and also is expected to include $1.296 billion in funding new […]

In politics, humor is dead if the person trying to be funny is someone you disagree with. Some are now trying to imply Representative Mike Rogers (R-Saks) is being inappropriate because he made a “dad joke” at a Congressional committee hearing: Why is @RepMikeRogersAL saying the following, "It's refreshing to finally have a witness that […]

1. Good guy with a gun stops school shooting by killing shooter dead, some argue this shows we shouldn’t arm teachers — A high school student attempted to kill a classmate only to be shot and killed by a school resource officer on the scene. — In spite of the evidence that a trained adult with […]

On the state level, Alabama has a problem funding it’s prison system, it’s expensive, it’s crowded, and it is a mess. Locally, Alabama Sheriffs have to love the way the county jails are set up. Some have been pocketing the extra money for years, some lend that money to failing car dealers, and as we […]

1. Sean Hannity says Trump is not going to fire Mueller, and Trump agrees — Hannity appeared on “Fox and Friends” Monday and stated definitively that, “there’s not going to be any firing of  Mueller”, and added that Trump shouldn’t comment on the matter any further. — The president seemed to agree, firing off a Tweet saying […]

During the election, Hillary Clinton whined about “deplorables”, blaming the hate-filled monsters who would never vote for a woman for her surprising loss. In her mind, and the minds of her supporters, the only person we can’t blame for her loss is Hillary Clinton. Her most recent silly gaffe was last week, where she spoke in […]

1. Democrat Congresspersons want to hire the disgraced FBI Deputy Director just to stick it to Trump (and taxpayers) — Democrats are offering him jobs in their offices in order to help him make it to his retirement date, his retirement is worth $1.8 million dollars. — Another Democrat, and Trump critic, Adam Schiff says McCabe’s […]

Radio talk show host Dale Jackson and Dr. Waymon Burke take you through this week’s biggest political stories including: — Were the results in Pennsylvania’s special election a rejection of Trump or Pelosi? — Why did the executive director of the state’s superintendent association imply teachers were unstable and dangerous? — Will the student walkouts […]

Every legislative session, some Alabama legislator is going to say something backwards and silly. This year, it may be State Representative Harry Shiver’s turn. Speaking at a committee hearing on a bill that would allow teachers to carry firearms in school Shiver said, “our ladies” need the legislature to protect them and that female teachers […]

1. Alabama lawmaker’s terrible argument about guns and women get plenty of attention — State Rep. Harry Shiver (R-Stockton) believes women should be protected, “are scared of guns”, and the best way to protect them is to not allow them to carry guns. — In spite of this, the bill still passed out of committee […]
