The AEA is back, baby! That’s what the Alabama Education Association and their part-time political commentators will tell you. Probably worth pointing out that AEA has won the 2021 session. Could be a sign of things to come. #alpolitics — Josh Moon ?? (@Josh_Moon) May 18, 2021 The AEA retweeted that tweet. So, what does […]

7. Department of Labor pleased with Ivey decision After it was announced by Governor Kay Ivey that the state would be removing participation from the federal unemployment programs, Alabama Department of Labor Secretary Fitzgerald Washington has come out in support of this decision.  Washington talked about how this decision is meant to improve unemployment numbers […]

Radio talk show host Dale Jackson and political consultant Mecca Musick take you through Alabama’s biggest political stories, including: — Was Governor Kay Ivey right to end the federal unemployment subsidy in Alabama? — Is there an unequal system of justice for rioters that depends on their politics as U.S. Senator Richard Shelby (R-AL) alleged […]

7. 150 Republicans emerge and embarrass themselves again  Since the first day Donald Trump came down the escalator, the American media and their Democrats touted the “courageous Republicans” who would abandon the party over the former president. With U.S. Representative Liz Cheney (R-WY) losing her leadership post, those same people are leaving the party again, […]

U.S. Senator Richard Shelby (R-AL) is 100% correct in calling out the Department of Justice and prosecutors around the country for their willingness to equally prosecute rioters and criminals across the country. For years, America has been gripped by a series of protests that far too often turned violent and directly led to attacks on […]

7. Tuberville has legislation to help the southern border With President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris failing to address the crisis at the southern border, U.S. Senator Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) has introduced legislation that will help officers actually enforce immigration laws on the local and state level. The Empowering Law Enforcement Act would […]

7. History will not remember Liz Cheney’s leadership position  U.S. Rep.

7. Inmate killed just before release The Alabama Department of Corrections has said that an inmate, 23-year-old Ian Retting, died in an “apparent inmate-on-inmate assault,” but Retting’s death happened just one day before he was scheduled to be released. The department also said that the deal is “being thoroughly investigated by the Department’s Law Enforcement […]

Radio talk show host Dale Jackson and political consultant Mecca Musick take you through Alabama’s biggest political stories, including: — What is next for marijuana after medical marijuana passes? — Gambling bill dies again. Will it ever have enough votes? — Should anyone really care that U.S. Representative Liz Cheney (R-WY) is feuding with former […]

Gambling failed to get passed again. No lottery… no casinos… no sports betting. No gambling in Alaba… wait a minute. There is still gambling in Alabama, and the current attorney general believes they are operating illegally. The legislation that was recently attempted in the Alabama State House even lays it out:

7. Biden has been told not to take questions White House press secretary Jen Psaki was being interviewed by CNN senior political commentator David Axelrod when Psaki admitted that President Joe Biden has basically been told not to take impromptu questions.

7.

7. No, Republicans will not draw another majority-minority U.S. House district for Democrats The Montgomery Advertiser’s Brian Lyman wrote a strange piece about Alabama retaining all seven of its U.S. House seats. His article assumes that the Republican super-majority legislature will draw one of the six Republican U.S. House seats into a Democrats seat. There […]

The news that Alabama would keep all seven U.S. House seats was great news for the state, unless you are in the media covering Alabama politics or in the Alabama Democratic Party. The Montgomery Advertiser’s Brian Lyman, the guy with the most accurate last name in journalism, is trying his best to make an argument […]

7. Caitlyn Jenner has to be transphobic Former Olympic athlete and reality TV star Caitlyn Jenner has announced that he will be running for governor of California, and now he’s come out against transgender girls playing in girls’ sports.  Jenner, who is transgender, said, “It just isn’t fair. And we have to protect girls’ sports […]

It would stand to reason that the most powerful and influential media outlet in Alabama would have a keen sense of which state political figures fit the same bill. That’s why Yellowhammer Multimedia, once again, is publishing its Power and Influence 40. Taking into account countless conversations with political insiders, as well as the most […]

During the never-ending protests, riots and chaos of the previous few years, Alabama has been generally quiet on that front. There are probably a couple of reasons for that. Our history and growing pains on this issue are well-known. The success of activists to remove some Confederate monuments and the lack of a George Floyd-like […]

7. The Auburn coaching family has some thoughts on politics  Former Auburn head football coach and current U.S. Senator Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) was asked by TMZ about athletes and their political opinions, and he said doesn’t want to hear them.

7.
