We are once again stuck in legislative gridlock over a simple question: should the people of Alabama be allowed to vote on a state lottery and expanded gaming?  This is not about politics. It’s about reality.  It is no secret that by 2027 Alabama will be in serious need of funds. One-time federal dollars are […]

What is unfolding in Minneapolis is not spontaneous unrest, nor is it simply the expression of social grievance. It follows a familiar and deliberate pattern — one that prioritizes pressure, public shaming, and narrative control over facts or due process. The stated issue is never the true objective. The real objective is power, and Minneapolis […]

When the United States took control of Venezuela, it sent a shockwave across the world. Ordinary Iranians, already living under a repressive dictatorship, saw that even longstanding regimes could be challenged and toppled. This sparked courage and defiance among the people, inspiring them to rise up and demand their own freedom. The message was clear: […]

Jared Hudson isn’t running for U.S. Senate to sit quietly in Washington or shake hands at cocktail parties. He’s running because something is rotten in the way our government handles taxpayer money, and folks in Alabama are the ones getting stuck with the bill. When a concerned citizen and a 23-year-old independent journalist can uncover […]

I am tired of turning on the television or scrolling through social media and seeing carefully clipped soundbites of Senator Tommy Tuberville held up as proof that he is somehow the bad guy of the week. These out-of-context clips may stir up applause on national cable news, but they do not reflect reality on the […]

When the lights go out in Washington, the darkness stretches far beyond the marble halls of government. A federal shutdown is not just a bureaucratic failure. It is a moral mirror. It shows who we have become as a people when paychecks stop coming, safety nets strain, and those who serve our nation find themselves […]

For most of American history, the United States Senate has been seen as a place for seasoned leaders, a chamber of wisdom and experience. But in recent years, that experience has come with a downside. The Senate has grown older and slower, filled with politicians who have been in Washington for decades and often seem […]

When it comes to John Wahl, it seems some folks are more interested in spinning tales than telling the truth. Sure, a butterfly farmer turned political powerhouse sounds like something out of a quirky Southern novel, but let’s take a minute to separate the facts from the flutter. First off, can we just appreciate the […]

Families are the backbone of our society, and when they thrive, our communities prosper. Yet, in today’s complex world, many families, especially those led by single mothers, face immense challenges. Senator Katie Britt’s MOMS Act (More Opportunities for Moms to Succeed) is a ground-breaking initiative that addresses these challenges head-on, providing the kind of support […]

For too long, Big Tech companies have dictated the rules of engagement for our children’s digital lives — tying the hands of parents who simply want to keep their kids safe from unsolicited communications and inappropriate content. Enough is enough.  That’s why I am thrilled to see the Alabama Legislature moving legislation that would help […]

President Donald Trump’s bold decision to rename the Gulf of Mexico to the “Gulf of America” wasn’t just about changing a name. It was about reclaiming a sense of pride, sovereignty, and American identity that he believes is long overdue.  President Trump is methodical, and the bold decisions he is making at the onset of […]

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs were once touted as the key to creating fairer schools, workplaces, and communities. But here in the South, plenty of people are wondering if they’ve caused more headaches than help. What started as an idea to fix past wrongs now feels like it’s stirred up more trouble than good. […]

As the United States looks toward the future, many Americans are turning their hopes to Donald Trump. His campaign has reignited a sense of peace, confidence, and determination in the nation, inspiring optimism for what lies ahead. Trump’s presidency brought economic growth, border security, and a renewed sense of American pride, and his return to […]

The Corporate Transparency Act (CTA) places a new compliance on main street Americans with an LLC. What happens if you inadvertently fail to comply with this new Act? You could end up behind bars.  The CTA requires individuals with “substantial control” over a company or equity position of 25 percent or greater to disclose personal […]

If you turn on your TV, the media and Democrats won’t stop telling you that Donald Trump is a threat to democracy that must be stopped at any cost. He is “a convicted felon” who wants to undermine our elections. The truth is the kangaroo court in New York that railroaded the former president has […]

The Alabama Senate appears set to vote down the lottery and gaming bill by a single vote. One vote against bringing billions of dollars over years to our children and Alabama’s education system.  Ironically, the very people who were voted into office by the citizens of Alabama are taking away those same citizens’ right to […]

Welcome to the new generation of Democrats. You’ve seen them. In fact, you can’t miss them. They are the ones waving Palestinian flags. They are the ones blocking streets and bridges in protest. They voice their disdain for the United States, all the while not realizing that they did not earn any of the privileges […]

For years, the question has lingered throughout Alabama: lottery or no lottery? To game or not to game? The answer? Folks, it is already here! If you haven’t ventured into any of Alabama’s three casinos owned by the Poarch Band of Creek Indians – Wind Creek Casino and Hotel Wetumpka, Wind Creek Casino and Hotel […]
