When then-candidate Donald Trump was raising questions about Hillary Clinton’s health, he had the guts to make those allegations himself. One of our gubernatorial candidates is 73-years-old. She also has what most people believe is an insurmountable lead, low-unemployment numbers, and an overall good reputation after taking over for a lecherous old fool. Because there are […]

When British hospital officials tried to pull the plug on 23-month-old toddler Alfie Evans on Monday night in arrogant defiance of his parents’ wishes, many Americans took to Twitter to count their blessings that they live in a country that would not allow such tyranny. “Stories like Alfie Evans make me realize how grateful I […]

When the southern states were debating secession in 1861, there was one other proposed secession that almost always gets overlooked in history: New York City. The Mayor of New York at the time, Fernando Wood, saw disunion as an inevitability at the start of 1861, and in a January 6th address to the city council, […]

All states license many occupations. Licensing, essentially a government permission slip to work, emerged in the early 20th Century and is now more extensive than ever. A new report by the Alabama Policy Institute and Johnson Center, “The Costs of Occupational Licensing in Alabama,” provides an evaluation of the current extent and costs of licensing […]

Former Republican Sen. Phil Gramm of Texas was fond of telling a story about his time stumping for educational change. “My educational policies are based on the fact that I care more about my children than you do,” Gramm once said to a woman. “No, you don’t,” she replied. “OK,” said Gramm. “What are their […]

As goes the nursery tale of Br’er Rabbit and the briar patch, Br’er Fox sets a trap and catches the cunning Br’er Rabbit. Figuring that he is done for, Br’er Rabbit devises an escape plan. He begs the Fox not to throw him in the briar patch, given its threatening thorns. “Oh please Br’er Fox, whatever […]

The president has repeatedly insulted Alabama’s Jeff Sessions, calling him “weak” “disgraceful” and an “idiot” along with mockingly nicknaming him Mr. Magoo. To add injury to insults, many fair-weather conservatives have echoed these jeers or said nothing, failing to defend a man who has faithfully defended us and our values for decades. Oh well, at […]

Mick Mulvaney, White House budget director and acting director of the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection (known until a few days ago as the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau; Mulvaney rebranded it according to its statutory name) spoke at an American Bankers Conference on Tuesday and made some controversial statements. “We had a hierarchy in my […]

What should be done about school shootings? After the horrible shooting in Parkland, Florida, President Trump suggested that some teachers carry guns. “We need to let people know, you come in to our schools — you’re gonna be dead.” Anti-gun activists were horrified. But they probably didn’t know that many teachers have brought guns to […]

They’re out here saying those white cops who arrested that black lady last weekend at the Waffle House in Saraland, Alabama were racists. Reality Check: When a cop places you under arrest and you do anything other than passively comply, you may wish for him to say, “Oh, you don’t want to be arrested? My […]

Corporate boycotts are all the rage. Last week we have a boycott of the notoriously liberal Starbucks because two men wouldn’t leave when asked and now Starbucks is closing stores to do “implicit bias training”. In Alabama, a Waffle House in Saraland came under attack after a video showed an intoxicated and angry Chikesia Clemons being […]

Earlier this month, the 2017 National Assessment of Educational Progress, aka The Nation’s Report Card, was released. It’s not a pretty story. Only 37 percent of 12th-graders tested proficient or better in reading, and only 25 percent did so in math. Among black students, only 17 percent tested proficient or better in reading, and just […]

Judith Ann Neelley has spent the last 32 years in an Alabama prison for helping her sicko husband kidnap and murder a 13-year old girl in 1982.

GQ recently published an editorial with a list of 20 books “you don’t have to read,” with justifications and alternatives written by various authors and members of the magazine’s staff.

A friend sat across from me and said, “I know my job is good work, but I’m just not passionate about it. I know I’m called to this other kind of work, and I’m wondering when God will let me actually do it.” I remembered myself, 10 years earlier, sitting with a mentor and saying […]

A fortnight ago, Viktor Orban and his Fidesz Party won enough seats in the Hungarian parliament to rewrite his country’s constitution. To progressives across the West, this was disturbing news. For the bete noire of Orban’s campaign was uber-globalist George Soros. And Orban’s commitments were to halt any further surrenders of Hungarian sovereignty and independence […]

The longer I’ve wrestled with the challenges of digital technology in my life and in the lives of others, the more convinced I’ve become that the ultimate answer is not “no technology” or “more technology,” but “more theology.” If we want a deep, lasting, and spiritual solution, we need to learn and teach deep, lasting, […]

I originally assumed that former FBI Director James Comey is an honorable and truthful man who was striving to be objective and avoid undue political influence. He has earned my change of mind. Our law enforcement and judicial institutions should operate, to the extent possible, above politics to ensure equal justice under the law. The […]
