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.

“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.

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 […]

As the son of a World War II veteran, one of the main reasons I ran for U.S. Senate was to ensure the federal government was fulfilling its obligation to provide our great veterans with the timely, quality care earned through their service to this great country. It is the least we can do to […]

When President Trump was elected, he promised to fight for the forgotten men and women of this country – and that includes our farmers, ranchers, and rural communities. Time and time again, he’s proven himself to be the farmer’s president, standing strong against bad trade deals, cutting Washington red tape, and delivering real results for […]

No one presided over its funeral, but vestiges of antisemitism died suddenly here, and no one missed its pernicious influence. Segregation based on race was an overt policy for years, but segregation on the basis of faith was a subtle form of discrimination, permeating through our political institutions for years. Its subtlety masked its effect, […]

This year marks the 90th anniversary of Social Security, which has helped generations of Alabamians retire with dignity after a lifetime of hard work. It’s one of the most successful initiatives in American history, and a new AARP survey shows it’s still doing exactly what it was built to do. The new AARP report, released […]

It’s been 200 days since President Trump returned to the White House, and the progress we are seeing has been nothing short of historic. While the media is doing everything in their power to paint President Trump’s Administration as evil, the American people are getting exactly what we were promised: results. I had the chance […]

Today’s digital age allows app stores to be the gatekeepers of innovation–controlling which applications reach consumers and on what terms. This concentration of power has raised significant concerns about competition and consumer choice. To address these concerns, U.S. Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) and U.S. Representative John James (R-MI) introduced the App Store Accountability Act in […]

On September 1st, Alabama families will receive another dose of relief at the checkout line. The state’s sales tax on groceries will drop from 3% to 2%, continuing a rollback that began in 2023.

As mentioned last week, the race for Lt. Governor will be one of the best on the ballot next year.
