    Although some British citizens and lawmakers oppose Christian leader Franklin Graham speaking in Britain because of his criticism of radical Islam and PC opponents of free speech, he told the Daily Mail that America is at war with Islam and that Britain itself has suffered numerous attacks “in the name of Islam.” In the Jan. 29 edition […]

  Last September, amid the buzz of fresh energy after a summer break and the hopeful promise of a new academic year, Lizbeth Duran-Ortiz, a Spanish translator at a Birmingham, Ala., area elementary school, sat frozen and scared at her desk. Having heard that day’s announcement that there would be a move to end DACA, […]

    If Turkey is not bluffing, U.S. troops in Manbij, Syria, could be under fire by week’s end, and NATO engulfed in the worst crisis in its history. Turkish President Erdogan said Friday his troops will cleanse Manbij of Kurdish fighters, alongside whom U.S. troops are embedded. Erdogan’s foreign minister demanded concrete steps by the U.S. […]

    Many North Koreans are amazed by life in South Korea, and that was no different for Ji Seong-ho, the remarkable young defector who made a special appearance at the State of the Union address Tuesday night. Ji endured starvation, suffered severe injuries, lost loved ones, and experienced firsthand the Kim regime’s brutality before he left […]

  Editor’s note: Wayne Pacelle resigned Friday. “The board named Kitty Block, an attorney who is president of Humane Society’s international affiliate, as acting chief executive,” according to the Washington Post. A Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) board member is under attack for not wanting to investigate sexual harassment allegations against CEO Wayne […]

Democrats have stopped following the NFL during the past four years at higher rates than Republicans, according to a Wall Street Journal/NBC poll published Friday. Democrats who follow the league closely fell 16 points since 2013, while Republicans dropped their base of support by 14 points, the poll noted. The pollsters also show that the NFL is hemorrhaging its […]

  The historic town of Eufaula has long laid claim to the title of “Big Bass Capital of the World.” Now, the town of 13,000 in southeast Alabama has the big bass to prove it. A 12-foot-tall replica of a largemouth bass was dedicated last week in downtown Eufaula, where Mayor Jack Tibbs expects it […]

This past week, the Alabama Senate passed Senate Bill 179, which establishes severe penalties for those found guilty of obstructing an investigation into child trafficking. This legislation enhances the penalties already in place, increasing the offense to a Class A felony, with a minimum jail sentence of ten years. Under current law, the obstruction of […]

  Xinran Ji, 24, had big dreams. But demons demolished them. The bright hopes of young Xinran Ji, a University of Southern California engineering student from Inner Mongolia, died in 2014 at the hands of a then-19-year-old “Dreamer” and his thug pals. Mexican illegal alien Jonathan DelCarmen, who first jumped the southern border at age […]

“All the News That’s Fit to Print” proclaims the masthead of The New York Times. “Democracy Dies in Darkness,” echoes The Washington Post. “The people have a right to know,” the professors at Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism hammered into us in 1962. “Trust the people,” we were admonished. Explain then this hysteria, this […]

    Like many of my fellow Alabamians, I was angered and disappointed this week when the U.S. Senate failed to pass a bill banning abortions from being performed after 20 weeks, which President Trump has promised to sign if it arrives on his desk. For those who missed the votes of Alabama’s two U.S. […]

  This week, FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe — a man who certainly should have stepped down months ago — finally resigned from his active role at the agency. McCabe had been under President Trump’s fire for months given his failure to recuse himself from the Hillary Clinton email investigation despite his wife having received […]

    Media reports about a proposed bill in the Legislature called the Alabama Jobs Enhancement Act are creating a false picture about what this important piece of legislation will do and obscures why it’s needed to maintain Alabama’s momentum in economic development. First of all, HB317, as it’s known, will not open the flood gates and allow […]

    Is America the world’s freest country? Sadly, no. When researchers first started doing detailed international comparisons, the USA came in second or third. This year, however, we ranked 17th. The comparison I cite is the newly released Human Freedom Index, compiled by the Fraser and Cato Institutes. They compared economic freedoms such as […]

    Senator Larry Stutts (R-Sheffield) introduced a bill to the senate judiciary committee this month that could absolutely transform custody cases in Alabama.   If the bill becomes law, the standard visitation of every-other-weekend could become much closer to 50/50 time. SB 211 would change the definition of “joint custody.” Joint custody is currently […]

  There is, in many quarters, increasing concern about the hyper-charged political correctness that has gripped our campuses and other forums of public conversation. Even great works of literature and philosophy—from Huckleberry Finn and Heart of Darkness to, believe it or not, Kant’s Critique of Pure Reason—are now regularly accompanied by “trigger warnings” that alert […]

  President Donald Trump reportedly asked why the U.S. is “having all these people from shithole countries come here.” I think he could have used better language, but it’s a question that should be asked and answered. I have a few questions for my fellow Americans to consider. How many Norwegians have illegally entered our […]

The House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence is likely to vote today to declassify and release a memo alleging the Obama Department of Justice abused the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act in order to spy on Trump campaign associates, The Daily Caller News Foundation has learned. The scheduling of the vote was confirmed by a congressional source […]

Have you ever wondered about the man behind the billboards? In this episode of Executive Lion’s Living Life On Purpose, Matt Wilson and Andrew Wells sit down with the man, the myth, the billboard legend: Alexander Shunnarah. Shunnarah is the founder and CEO of The Alexander Shunnarah Law Firm. He is not only one of […]

  Asked if he would agree to be interviewed by Robert Mueller’s team, President Donald Trump told the White House press corps, “I would love to do it … as soon as possible. … under oath, absolutely.” On hearing this, the special counsel’s office must have looked like the Eagles’ locker room after the 38-7 […]

  Ivy League schools have spent more than $1 million on Democratic candidates so far in 2018, but not even $70,000 on Republican nominees. All of the eight Ivy League schools have spent tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars thus far in 2018, according to data on OpenSecrets.org. Two of the schools have […]

Swell, our beloved Hollywood stars are busy crafting their politicized speeches for the Academy Awards program. I’ll bet you can’t wait. Oscar-nominated English actor Daniel Kaluuya, in an interview with W magazine, opined that racism is more pronounced in America than in Britain. So happy to learn this and can’t wait for his upcoming lecture. […]
