Earlier this year, I made the decision to get my COVID vaccine after speaking with my doctor. The rest of my family followed suit, and I have repeatedly encouraged anyone who has questions about the vaccine or is unsure to speak with his or her doctor. I strongly believe the vaccine is the best tool […]

They feed us, they clothe us, they shelter us – all our basic needs are met because of farmers.

The Biden administration is proposing tougher tax enforcement to help pay for the $3.5 trillion budget reconciliation package. Collecting legally owed taxes is a laudable goal, but politicians have historically discounted the compliance costs of taxes. History may be repeating itself. The most controversial enforcement proposal involves banks and other financial institutions reporting all accounts […]

Former State Treasurer Young Boozer has recently been appointed by Governor Kay Ivey to fulfill the vacant seat created by John McMillan.

The problem of overcrowded prisons is a dilemma that has been facing Alabama for close to a decade. It was not something that Kay Ivey created. She simply inherited the situation, and the chickens have come home to roost during her tenure. To her credit, she did not hide from the issue. She has tackled […]

With the death of Sergeant Nick Risner this weekend, our state has lost 10 law enforcement officers in 10 months and 24 officers in five years.

The federal government is not known for being particularly productive or efficient at solving problems.

The COVID-19 vaccines have now been given to millions of people ages 12 and older under the most intense vaccine safety monitoring in history. Any claims that the vaccines are unsafe or ineffective are not true.

This past week there were three police officers shot in Alabama in less than 24 hours. Tragically, Sheffield Police Sgt. Nick Risner passed away from his wounds. And as usual, one of the suspects is a repeat offender who should have been in jail completing his sentence for a prior homicide. Specifically, the accused who […]

This host of federal jurists in Alabama will be one of Senator Richard Shelby’s lasting legacies.

In 2019, Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez introduced the Green New Deal, with a price tag estimated at trillions to possibly tens of trillions of dollars. When asked whether Washington could afford the Green New Deal, Ms. Ocasio-Cortez said Modern Monetary Theory (MMT) showed that we could. In recent years MMT has received considerable attention. The theory […]

Nothing happens without manufacturing. There are no planes, trains, nor automobiles to travel in; no homes to keep us safe and comfortable; no air conditioners nor furnaces; no food harvested, processed, brought to market, or delivered.

With the selection of its next president, Alabama A&M University (AAMU) is at a pivotal point in its history. In a few days, the Board of Trustees will select the 12th president of the largest historically black college and university in the state. As a business leader in Huntsville, a healthy and thriving AAMU is […]

For months now, I have been making the point that liberal politicians in Washington love creating crisis after crisis to distract the American people from what’s really happening. We’ve seen this time and time again with the Biden administration – each time something has gone wrong, the administration has stirred up a new crisis to […]

American family farms are under attack – both from within our very own country and from China. On top of the inherent uncertainty that they already have to deal with, our nation’s family farms are now being undercut by Chinese-owned farms located within our borders. Chinese agricultural investments abroad grew more than tenfold from 2009-2018, […]

The 2021 Economic Freedom of the World (EFW) rankings from Canada’s Fraser Institute show freedom essentially unchanged in the United States. But some important changes in the rankings will be coming soon. Economic freedom is based on “the concept of self-ownership.” We should have “a right to choose – to decide how to use [our] […]

Huntsville has rocketed past Birmingham as Alabama’s largest city. It is not named the Rocket City for nothing.

A bipartisan proposal has been put forth to deliver an “Alabama solution” to this very real Alabama problem.

Democrats are pushing Bernie Sanders’ $3.5 trillion dollar budget while Yellen is saying that unless the debt ceiling is raised, the U.S. will default on debt payments for the first time in history.

Democratic policies have done nothing but worsen our labor shortage and inflation, and the numbers back it up.

Since the earliest days of his campaign for the presidency, President Biden claimed he would raise taxes only on wealthy people.

As the pandemic continues around the nation, one highly effective medication for those that have already contracted COVID-19 is the monoclonal antibody treatment.

What can we learn when the autocrat’s autocrat allows a form of pluralism that is against type?

Major automobile manufacturers are going all-in on the transition to electric vehicles (EVs).
