It’s August in Alabama—we all know what that means. Football season is upon us. In just a few weeks, some of Alabama’s greatest towns will be full of fans from across the country. As much as we all love a good tailgate, college football is about more than that. For a few hours every Saturday, […]

As the president and CEO of the Mobile Chamber, I have the privilege of working closely with businesses of all sizes and across various industries. My primary goal is to foster a thriving economic environment that benefits employers, employees, and the broader community. However, one significant threat to this objective is the growing effort of […]

Everyone still has questions about the assassination attempt of President Trump. A man taking a shot 150 yards away at a former president during his rally should never have happened. One innocent man should not have died on that day. Ongoing investigations have given light to poor, catastrophically insufficient communication between Secret Service and the […]

The decision by the Joe Biden inner circle to allow the poor fellow to get out of the Presidential race was a godsend for the Democratic Party. It gives new life to the Democrats’ chances to keep the White House. The ascension of Vice President Kamala Harris to the top of the ticket breathes new […]

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 […]

It’s no secret the Biden-Harris Administration has failed the American people. Our border is an utter disaster with absolutely no enforcement from the White House to keep illegal migrants out. Not only are we being flooded by thousands of illegal immigrants walking over our Southern Border, but it is totally unaffordable for Americans to live […]

Imagine living in a society where the government tracks every single purchase you make. From stopping to fill up at a gas station to buying a ticket at a movie theater, every single purchase you make, no matter how big or small, is run through a central government database in order for the transaction to […]

An Englishman named Joseph Priestley made a discovery 250 years ago that marked the beginning of modern chemistry and continues to have important ramifications today. His remarkable find was, in a word: Oxygen. Unlike inventions, which create something new, discoveries acknowledge something that already exists and quantify it to explain its significance. Of course, oxygen […]

“Let me be clear- no one is above the law.” However, the Alabama Medical Cannabis has operated above the law since its inception. And the AMCC’s refusal to follow the law is what has caused the delays in getting medical cannabis to the people who need it. In fact, I believe that if the Commission […]

For months, Biden had insisted on staying in the race for the presidency. He claimed he was both mentally and physically capable, right for the job, and would “save our democracy.” Despite the media coverups and far-reaching loyalties by his own party, Republicans could always see how Biden has failed Americans and was unfit from […]

Farmers across the nation face a vicious attack on their farms and freedom. As a poultry farmer, cattle rancher, the President of the Alabama Contract Poultry Growers Association, and a patriotic American, I feel it is my duty to warn my countrymen against the Ending Agricultural Trade Suppression (EATS) Act, H.R. 4417/S. 2019. This perilous […]

The time has come for the Alabama Medical Cannabis Commission (AMCC) to fulfill its promise and deliver medical cannabis to the patients in Alabama who have been waiting far too long. This delay is not just an administrative failure but a critical issue impacting the health and well-being of countless individuals in our state. In […]

When Governor Kay Ivey asked me to serve as Director of the Alabama Department of Community Affairs (ADECA), she made one thing clear – a top priority of her administration is to ensure that every single Alabamian will have the ability to access high-speed internet. That is a noble goal indeed, given that in a […]

As Republicans from around the country gathered in Milwaukee, you could feel the optimism about our nation’s future and the upcoming election in the air. We are thankful that divine intervention saved our nominee, former President Donald J. Trump, from a bullet that was intended to kill him.  Following the assassination attempt, President Trump’s resiliency […]

As the Republican National Convention unfolds this week, you will see all the GOP stars on stage and featured all week, especially on Fox News. You will probably not see one of the former potential rising political show horses featured or interviewed. South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem may be there but will be shunned and […]

We’ve all seen the headlines coming out of Montgomery in the last few months. Someone gets killed or seriously injured, the mayor holds a press conference blaming everyone but himself, until the next violent incident, where it just repeats itself. We’re only halfway through 2024, and there have already been at least 35 homicides and […]

Saturday was a sad day for President Trump, the Trump family, and America because 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks attempted to assassinate President Trump at his rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. While many of the details are still not clear, investigators are working hard to continue uncovering the details and Crooks’ specific motives. By the grace of […]

I’ve never understood why Donald Trump seems to attract such a level of hatred and vitriol. There is nothing unusual about political candidates being vilified by opponents, but after an election or a term in office, the level of animosity usually subsides, and attacks focus on policy decisions and not as much on personality. I […]

Whether the rich pay their fair share of taxes remains contentious. Regardless of your position on this, accurate numbers on the rich’s current tax burden should inform this discussion. I will consider percentages of Federal individual income tax revenue from Tax Foundation analysis of IRS data. These numbers are sometimes inaccurately described as of all […]

One of the most fundamental rights and privileges of the United States is the right to vote. Our elections depend on fairness and lawful voting to reflect the will of the people. Recently, our election system has been seriously flawed, affecting how Americans are represented. The rise of immigration and lack of border security from […]

It is no secret that many in Democratic and media circles have admitted that President Biden’s debate performance was an epic disaster. They know President Biden looked old, weak, and diminished, which has been evident to most of us for months now. Truthfully, the Democratic elites and their media allies have known all along that […]

Facing against the river current, the boat drifted slowly backward, despite the whirling trolling motor prop slashing to gain headway against the flow. As the boat glided past a hump 50 feet below, the rod tip twitched ever so slightly. Then, the stout rod bent over double as a river monster inhaled the offering. Big […]

Now that we are midway through the year, allow me to share some thoughts on Alabama political events. There have been some significant elections already this year in the Heart of Dixie as we await a titanic presidential election in the fall. The race for the newly drawn Second Congressional district has been the major […]

July 4, 2026, will mark the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, the most pivotal moment in our nation’s history. The execution of this declaration marked our independence from Great Britain and laid the foundation for the creation of the United States of America. Thomas Jefferson wrote, “We hold these truths […]
