After being sworn in for a fourth term, Vladimir Putin departed the Kremlin for Annunciation Cathedral to receive the televised blessing of Patriarch Kirill of the Russian Orthodox Church. The patriarch and his priests in sacred vestments surrounded Putin, who, standing alone, made the sign of the cross. Meanwhile, sacred vestments from the Sistine Chapel […]

“Who am I?” We are all, at some point, faced with this question. Some, more than others, have a considerably difficult time determining an answer (see Hugh Jackman’s character struggle with this question in Les Misérables). Although typically reserved for personal wrestling, this is a question Alabamians should be asking regularly, albeit in a different […]

Enough! I have had it with politicians pussyfooting around the fact that schools need greater safety measures. This isn’t rocket science. Believe me, it isn’t. While I vehemently oppose gun control or legislation that limits a citizen to exercise their second amendment right, I am certainly in favor of increasing safety measures in American schools.

When you read the budget message President Donald Trump sent Congress earlier this year, you soon come across a concession that Washington insiders have been making for years — just before they vote for bills they know will massively increase the federal debt. “The current fiscal path is unsustainable,” Trump said, “and future generations deserve […]

Plato’s greatest contribution to western civilization was not his ruminations on the soul, nor his analogy of the cave, but his idea of the philosopher king. Don’t tune out yet. The concept basically argues that the best ruler is a philosopher, or “lover of wisdom,” in the original Greek. It’s to say that society benefits […]

Yesterday, days before a primary election,  Governor Kay Ivey announced that she is launching the Alabama Sentry Program. Most of the political media in Alabama took the easy out on this story implying Ivey was arming people at school. The thought is that this is insane and Kay Ivey will lose votes for this crazy […]

Have you ever heard of Cara McClure? Odds are that after this Tuesday’s election you will become very familiar with her name. While most of the attention about the election of Public Service Commission (PSC) Place 1 has been focused on the lewd comments and actions of candidate Jim Bonner, the real winner in all […]

According to the recent Gallup poll, 55 percent of Americans agree […]

On Friday, the British police arrested Tommy Robinson, founder and former leader of the English Defence League, a far-right anti-Islam group. Robinson is a controversial character, to be sure, a sort of Milo Yiannopoulos lite. His chief focus is on the threat of radical Islam, which he believes threatens the integrity of the British system. […]

On June 5, Alabama voters will go to the polls to elect an attorney general — a race that by all accounts is very tight — that includes current Alabama AG Steve Marshall, a former Alabama AG Troy King, former federal prosecutor Alice Martin and former criminal court judge Chess Bedsole.

There’s an election primary next week, and many of the candidates vying for the Republican nomination in Alabama want you to know one thing: They like Donald Trump.

Today, all Americans are told, “Go to college!” President Obama said, “College graduation has never been more valuable.” But economist Bryan Caplan says that most people shouldn’t go. “How many thousands of hours did you spend in classes studying subjects that you never thought about again?” he asks. Lots, in my case. At Princeton, I […]

So let me break this down before I get started. On Tuesday, ABC cancelled the hit sitcom “Roseanne” after the show’s star and co-creator, Roseanne Barr, posted a racist tweet about one of President Obama’s top aides. The tweet referencing Valerie Jarrett , which has now been deleted, read: “Muslim brotherhood & planet of the […]

Is the Alabama Republican Party willing to allow an ignorant, racist, anti-Semitic, liar to represent them in the fall? https://twitter.com/WagtheDog68/status/1001497916769558529 According to word out of the ALGOP, maybe not. This shouldn’t even be an issue, but it is. Jim Bonner is NOT former Congressman Jo Bonner, nor is he related to him, but the similar […]

Several recent polls, plus the popularity of Sen. Bernie Sanders, demonstrate that young people prefer socialism to free market capitalism. That, I believe, is a result of their ignorance and indoctrination during their school years, from kindergarten through college. For the most part, neither they nor many of their teachers and professors know what free […]

U.S. threats to crush Iran and North Korea may yet work, but as of now neither Tehran nor Pyongyang appears to be intimidated. Repeated references by NSC adviser John Bolton and Vice President Mike Pence to the “Libya model” for denuclearization of North Korea just helped sink the Singapore summit of President Trump and Kim […]

NEW STUDY SHOWS CHRISTIAN WOMEN ARE HAPPY, BUT FEEL SLIGHT MOM GUILT TOM LAMPRECHT:  Harry, I want to take you to a story that Christianity Today featured recently.

Near the end of the Korean War novel “The Bridges of Toko-Ri,” an American military commander is mourning the death of some of his best men, but also remembering their strength, their courage, and the devotion they shared for one another.

Protestors descended on Publix stores across the nation Friday, following the lead of the “March For Our Lives” activist David Hogg, to stage a “Die-In” protest.

You don’t need to believe that the special counsel investigating President Donald Trump is a terrible person to conclude that the Obama administration and Clinton machine (and later their holdovers during the Trump administration) politicized and weaponized federal agencies to protect Hillary Clinton and damage Trump. So if you just can’t shake your instinct that […]
