The fact that one of the suspects in the mass shooting in Montgomery that killed 2 and injured 12 has already bonded out of jail is outrageous.

Hitting […]

Now that 2 people have been arrested for the mass shooting in Montgomery in early October, it is becoming clear that some questionable decision-making is coming from city hall.

There was a good portion of Charlie Kirk news on the founder of Turning Point USA’s birthday as President Donald Trump posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, a memorial mural honoring the late conservative activist went up in Hanceville, and the State Department announced visa revocations for foreigners celebrating Kirk’s assassination. 6. A […]
With military service members being paid, the shutdown pain is harder to easily identify and game. For that reason, we could be looking at the longest shutdown ever.

7. U.S. Rep.

When photos of August Borden’s face hit papers across Alabama, outrage and demands for justice rightly followed.

7. U.S. Sen.
