I’ve spent my adult life in service, first as a U.S. Navy SEAL, then as a law enforcement officer, a small business owner, and as the founder and CEO of Covenant Rescue Group, an organization that combats human trafficking. Each of those roles taught me what it means to fight for others, to take responsibility […]
Next year, Alabama will elect a new Attorney General for the first time in nearly a decade. For law enforcement, this will be an extremely important decision. The partnership between law enforcement and the Attorney General’s Office has historically ebbed and flowed—while some AGs have stood up and really fought for the men and women in […]
Last week, the House passed two important bills to get tough on crime right here in Washington, D.C. For too long, the nation’s capital has been run by soft-on-crime politicians who seem more concerned with protecting criminals than protecting American families. These new bills take a step toward bringing the same brand of common sense, […]
The recent announcement by the Trump administration of a surprise injection of $495 million into the nation’s Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and tribal universities should be viewed as exactly what it is: an investment into institutions. HBCUs and tribal universities serve some of the most economically depressed and underserved communities in our nation. […]
I have been an upfront observer, participant, columnist, and commentator of Alabama politics for over six decades, and I can confidently say one of the most gifted political leaders in the history of our state is also one of its newest and youngest. Katie Britt’s skills as a public servant and stateswoman were demonstrated beyond […]
Regarding recent comments made by Doug Jones. To compare the events surrounding George Wallace—who governed more than 50 years ago—to a Christian leader whose life mission was to prevent violence through open dialogue and civil conversation, and who was just murdered by a hate-filled left-wing extremist, is not only deeply troubling, but shows a profound […]
The alarming responses to the cold-blooded assassination of Charlie Kirk from both sides of the political aisle are derived from the same source: false worldview. Some on the right argue that Charlie Kirk wasn’t a martyr because he spoke about politics. That is patently false. He spoke about politics due to his Christian faith. His […]
I bet that at some point in your life you went through an existential crisis. A period where you pondered the question: Why am I here? Ancient philosophers from Socrates to Camus struggled with this question. Even Jesus tried to wrestle this one to the ground. American singer/songwriters from Johnny Cash to Bob Dylan often […]
One of Governor Kay Ivey’s greatest legacies will be her outstanding wisdom and prudence in her appointments to fill important judicial and governmental openings. She has shown amazing leadership in this capacity over her decade as Governor. She had the opportunity to make another stellar appointment in June. Ivey appointed State Representative Cynthia Lee Almond […]
“Where were you when the world stopped turnin’ that September day?” —Alan Jackson I don’t often talk about September 11, 2001. Even 24 years later, it still hurts. At the time, I was a news producer for New York City’s top-rated all-news radio station, 1010 WINS — “You give us 22 minutes, we’ll give you […]
In Alabama, we understand what it means to build things that matter. We’ve long been home to builders and winners – our steel won wars and built the skyscrapers of American prosperity. Now, we are a top state for automotive manufacturing and the No. 1 automotive exporter in the U.S. That’s why it’s no surprise that […]
After years of political scheming by the left, President Trump is bringing Space Command (SPACECOM) headquarters back to its rightful home in Huntsville, Alabama. This was never supposed to be about politics. After a thorough and highly competitive selection process, Huntsville was chosen as the best home for SPACECOM in 2021. In fact, three different Air Force […]
We live in the safest moment in human history. We have mandatory seatbelts, side-curtain airbags, carbon monoxide detectors, bike helmets, and vaccinations against all forms of maladies. We’ve wrapped ourselves in bubble wrap. But are we really any safer today? What happened to the old-school jungle gym? And the round, metal spinner that was a […]
We all knew that this 2026 election year was going to be a big year in Alabama politics. This year’s biggest race will be for the U.S. Senate Seat of Coach Tuberville. The key to winning this seat like any open U.S. Senate Seat is having or garnering campaign money. Having your own money is […]
Advertisements for GLP-1 weight loss medications are ubiquitous, appearing on television and social media platforms. They can raise awareness regarding available assistance for individuals suffering from obesity who seek treatment; however, when directed towards inappropriate audiences, they may pose significant risks. Although reputable pharmaceutical companies are prohibited from disseminating misleading weight loss advertisements, telemedicine firms […]
In the heart of America, resilience runs deep. It’s the grit of farmers, the strength of working families, and the determination of patriots who refuse to give up on this country. Yet in Washington, that spirit is too often absent. For decades, career politicians have failed to deliver. What we need now is not another […]
Two of our major constitutional statewide offices are up for election in next year’s May 2026 GOP Primary. The Attorney General and Agriculture posts are incumbent-free and totally up for grabs. Current Attorney General Steve Marshall has served his constitutionally limited two terms and is running for the U.S. Senate. Agriculture Commissioner Rick Pate has […]
Serving on the Hoover City Council for the past five years has taught me one undeniable truth: local government impacts your life far more than the federal government ever will. My path into public service began with one goal—securing more funding for Hoover City Schools. As a PTO president, president of the Hoover City Schools […]
When you’ve served as mayor, you see your community through a different lens. Every decision you make, whether it’s about schools, safety, or development, has a direct impact on families, on neighborhoods, on people’s daily lives. That’s why I want to share why I’m proud to support Mayor Frank Brocato. Drive through Hoover today and […]
