Alabama 2026 polling

President Trump jumped into Alabama’s Republican U.S. Senate primary over the weekend with a “complete and total endorsement” of U.S. Rep. Barry Moore. Trump made that endorsement of Moore (R-Enterprise) over presumptive frontrunner Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall and a handful of other candidates, including former U.S. Navy Seal Jared Hudson, cattle farmer Rodney Walker, and […]

7. The convential wisdom that the party of the president will lose midterms may be being questioned after a new poll shows Americans trust Republicans more than Democrats on key issues of the economy, tariffs, and immigration; as a New York Times opinion piece suggests Democratic electoral strategy is not that good; and Elon Musk is […]

Even though President Donald Trump’s endorsement in an Alabama U.S. Senate race doesn’t guarantee victory in the race, but any candidate would rather have that endorsement than not. U.S. Rep. Barry Moore (R-Enterprise) now has that endorsement, and it will be seen on TV, heard on talk radio, and blown up on the Internet for […]

Jeremy Devito is pretending he is running for Congress, claiming to be a legal expert and an immigration attorney, but he is none of those things. DeVito’s grasp on the facts is lacking, but he makes up for it by being vulgar and fake mad. Dale Jackson is a thought leader for Yellowhammer News and hosts […]

In another desperate attempt to relaunch his campaign and get some traction, former U.S. Senator Doug Jones (D-Mountain Brook) is back on the lottery. Jones is begging Alabama Democrats in the legislature to push for a standalone lottery, but they have made it clear they do not want this. What Jones really wants is simple, […]

7. Now-former Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson turned down NIL offers up to $6.5 million from schools like Miami, Ole Miss, and Tennessee to enter the transfer portal, choosing to stay at Alabama and relaying his decision-making process, “[Kalen DeBoer and Ryan Grubb] have been so good to me. I’m sure they were wondering what was […]

The fact that a sport that consists of people slapping each other in the face is silly, but people want to do it, and people will watch it. State Senator Gerald Allen (R-Tuscaloosa) thinks Alabama should not allow it to take place in the state, but wrestling, MMA, boxing, and other combat sports can? What […]

7. Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson declined NIL offers from $4 million (Tennessee and Ole Miss) to $6.5 million from Miami, to enter the transfer portal, and will stay in the NFL draft, noting that transferring to another school would hurt his legacy. 6.

In Alabama, across the country, and on almost every major media outlet, a steady stream of malcontents are demanding that ICE agents take off their masks, as if that will make agitators stop being violent. What is the real reason? They want to doxx them, hurt them, and stop them from doing their jobs with […]

7. Alabama’s QB1 Ty Simpson reportedly received a $6.5 million NIL offer to skip the NFL draft, enter the transfer portal, and stay in college football (allegedly from Miami), highlighting escalating name-image-likeness compensation. 6.

Indiana and Miami will face off in the National Championship, and if the favored Hoosiers come home with the trophy, how will the team rank against college football’s gold standard? When the Indiana Hoosiers take on the Miami Hurricanes next Monday night for all the marbles, it will mark the third consecutive season the SEC […]

There are 126 days until Alabama’s statewide primary election on May 19, and what once felt like a lifetime away is suddenly just around the corner. The Alabama Poll just wrapped up our second look at the 2026 Republican primary, and if you’re wondering where the real action is, it’s the U.S. Senate race. The […]

Protests Democrats

The fact that the media and their Democrats can gin up another weekend of pathetic protests over a liberal protester creating a terrible situation for herself and the ICE agent who had to deal with it is very sad. It never stops with this stuff, and it never will. The need for constant agitation and […]

7. A controlled demolition blast brought down the former tallest man-made structure in North Alabama, a tower that tested rockets, sending a massive boom through the area, with residents reporting feeling the effects across the region. 6.

Terri Sewell

A year-end analysis of congressional stock disclosures shows Alabama Congresswoman Terri Sewell (D-Birmingham) finishing 2025 near the very top of a list no lawmaker wants to have to explain. In its 2025 Congressional Trading Report, market watchdog Unusual Whales estimates Sewell’s portfolio generated a +67.9% return in 2025, making her the third-highest performer in the […]

Who is right about the shooting in Minnesota, U.S. Senator Tommy Tuberville (R-Auburn) or former U.S. Senator Doug Jones (D-Mountain Brook)?

7. Jacksonville State Gamecocks defeated Troy 17-13 in the Salute to Veterans Bowl, becoming the only Alabama school to win a bowl game this season while trolling rivals on X with a “1 of 1” post, but as Alabama owns a non-bowl win at Oklahoma this year, the whole thing seems kinda pathetic. 6. Alabama […]

Jackson Hospital

A Delaware-registered dark money group that sprang to life immediately following a coordinated legal assault on Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Alabama is now running a new television spot that makes its true purpose very clear. After weeks of flooding the Montgomery media market with attack ads aimed at Blue Cross, Alabama Patients First […]

When U.S. Senator Tommy Tuberville was asked about his position on the lottery, he gave what could possibly be the best answer I have heard on it: Sure, do it, BUT know we need real growth in this state, not gimmicks. Tuberville seems as if he is fine with the legislature putting on the ballot, […]

Tom Emmer (R-Minn.) warned Minnesota Governor Tim Walz could face arrest over massive welfare fraud scandals involving billions in misused funds, calling him incompetent and urging his resignation for allowing all the fraud linked to Somali community programs. 6.

A single Hilton hotel banned DHS/ICE employees in Minnesota, but after Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall and others complained, Hilton fixed the issue.
