Listen to the 10 min audio: Read the transcript: WHAT DOES CELEBRATION OF NATIONAL SINGLE PARENT DAY SAY ABOUT OUR COUNTRY? TOM LAMPRECHT:  Harry, first there was Mother’s Day, then there was Father’s Day, and now we have Grandparent’s Day. Interestingly, another day has popped up, which I wasn’t aware of until recently, March 21st […]

In the movie “The Matrix,” swallowing a red pill reveals the truth, while downing a blue pill leaves you trapped in illusion. Today, in the parlance of some political activists, “taking the red pill” means seeing the lies of mainstream media — and learning the truth. “People don’t care to watch CNN anymore: People pay […]

We get it! The left is pushing for stern gun reform. They tell us that they only wish to ban military-grade weaponry. They tell us, the American people, that they are not out to abolish our right to bear arms. When met with opposition, those calling for gun control are quick to inform us that […]

I knew that The Shape of Water would win the Academy Award for Best Picture. It checked three of the major Hollywood boxes: celebration of oppressed people, valorization of complete sexual freedom, and a Christian villain. It used to be that a black hat or shifty eyes or a foreign accent would give someone away […]

It’s fair to say that on the issue of guns, sometimes Democrats want to keep their actual opinions close to the vest. They assure you, as Vox did yesterday, that the “March for Our Lives” was about gun control not gun confiscation. The media insists that implying otherwise is engaging in hysterics and fear-mongering. But […]

Listen to the 10 min audio Read the transcript: KICKED OUT OF CHRISTIANITY CLASS FOR DEFENDING CHRISTIAN IDEALS? TOM LAMPRECHT: Harry, a number of pundits have said, concerning the California Supreme Court case where pro-life centers have been asked by the State of California to promote state-funded abortions, “You better be careful. This is not […]

Here’s a question for you: In 1950, would it have been possible for anyone to know all of the goods and services that we would have at our disposal 50 years later? For example, who would have thought that we’d have cellphones, Bluetooth technology, small powerful computers, LASIK and airplanes with 525-passenger seating capacity? This […]

The “blue wave is coming”, or so Democrats would have you believe. Much like in 2010, Democrats view State House seats as pickup opportunities you never would have envisioned in the years prior. Tomorrow’s special election for Alabama State District 21 probably isn’t one of those opportunities. Republican Rex Reynolds is taking on Democrat Terry […]

Listen to the 10 min audio Read the transcript: PRO-LIFE MOVEMENT IN THE COURTS, TESTING CONSTITUTIONALITY TOM LAMPRECHT: Harry, last week, we talked about the California case that had their oral arguments before the Supreme Court. It’s a situation where pro-life centers in California were being forced to say certain things in promoting state-supported abortion […]

Will the 'deep state' sink President Trump?

“It is becoming more obvious with each passing day that the men and the movement that broke Lyndon Johnson’s authority in 1968 are out to break Richard Nixon,” wrote David Broder on Oct. 8, 1969. “The likelihood is great that they will succeed again.” A columnist for The Washington Post, Broder was no fan of […]

Authoritarianism for me but not for thee

It’s funny how projection works. These hysterical Democrats calling for President Trump’s impeachment because of his dastardly “authoritarian tendencies” are the ones with authoritarian tendencies. I’ll bet you didn’t know that the president commits an impeachable offense if his political opponents harbor an irrational fear that he has authoritarian tendencies — whether or not he […]

The economics of a military draft

Fifty years ago, protests and violence in opposition to the Vietnam War and the draft roiled college campuses.  The War appeared hopelessly deadlocked after the Tet Offensive.  Protestors burned draft cards, ransacked draft offices, and fled for Canada.  At the end of March 1968, President Johnson announced that he would not seek reelection.

Did Putin order the Salisbury hit?

Britain has yet to identify the assassin who tried to murder the double agent Sergei Skripal and his daughter, Yulia, in Salisbury, England. But Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson knows who ordered the hit. “We think it overwhelmingly likely that it was (Russian President Vladimir Putin’s) decision to direct the use of a nerve agent on […]

We have seen Ali-Frazier, we watched The Rock-Hulk Hogan, and if Vince McMahon could stop screwing around with the XFL reboot, maybe we could get “Crazy Uncle Joe” vs. The Donald. This is a match where everyone would win because two of America’s largest big mouths would get punched in the mouth. We could raise […]

Listen to the 10 min audio Read the transcript: NEW MOVIE ROCKS BOX OFFICE WITH CHRISTIAN MESSAGE TOM LAMPRECHT: Harry, so often on this podcast, we have to talk about situations that are in the news that aren’t overly pleasant or exciting and sometimes they can be downright depressing. Today, I want to talk about […]

Another fatal FBI fumble in Florida

A sickening act of youth violence in Florida glinted across the news headlines last week, and then disappeared from view. There will be no CNN town halls or student walkouts over the lost life and preventable tragedy, because there are no guns to blame. Only dropped balls. As the exploiters of crisis know full well, […]

We have plenty of gun bills, we lack action

Is the Alabama legislature serious about dealing with the issue of school violence? If they are, it sure doesn’t seem like it. Yes, we have bills, lots of bills, some good and some bad. We have a bill about allowing teachers to carry, a bill about allowing volunteers to carry, a bill about metal detectors, […]

Listen to the 10 min audio Read the transcript: SUPREME COURT HEARS CALIFORNIA CRISIS CENTER CASE TOM LAMPRECHT:  Harry, today, I would like to take you to a story that The Washington Post has covered. As we record this program, there are oral arguments going on before the United States Supreme Court dealing with a […]

Stop making children into moral authorities

On March 14, high school students from Parkland, Florida, led a school walkout in favor of gun control. The media have already appointed student witnesses of the horror at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School untouchable moral authorities; their opinions are not to be questioned. But now, the left has found even more sympathetic faces for […]

In politics, humor is dead if the person trying to be funny is someone you disagree with. Some are now trying to imply Representative Mike Rogers (R-Saks) is being inappropriate because he made a “dad joke” at a Congressional committee hearing: Why is @RepMikeRogersAL saying the following, "It's refreshing to finally have a witness that […]

President Trump’s pick to be the new secretary of state, Mike Pompeo, is not a fan of the Paris climate agreement, the treaty that claims it will slow global warning by reducing the world’s carbon dioxide emissions. Politicians from most of the world’s nations signed the deal, and President Obama said “we may see this […]

On the state level, Alabama has a problem funding it’s prison system, it’s expensive, it’s crowded, and it is a mess. Locally, Alabama Sheriffs have to love the way the county jails are set up. Some have been pocketing the extra money for years, some lend that money to failing car dealers, and as we […]

Listen to the 10 min audio Read the transcript: CHRISTIAN STUDENT GROUP FIGHTS UNIVERSITY IN COURT AND WINS TOM LAMPRECHT: Fox News is reporting, Harry, a Christian student group has been welcomed back on campus at Wayne State University after threatening a lawsuit for being unfairly booted out. It was the InterVarsity Program, a program […]

As I drove my five children to school this morning I heard on the radio that the bill allowing teachers to carry guns might be debated today on the floor of the Alabama House of Representatives. I’ve had my share of serious concerns about the proposal — training, oversight, unintended consequences — and have remained […]
