CNN’s media analyst was taken to the woodshed Sunday by a conservative radio host in North Alabama who said our state doesn’t trust the national media because they have consistently called us “stupid” and “racist.” “People don’t trust you guys and the reason they don’t trust you is because you are constantly telling them […]
Democrat Doug Jones has a path to victory against Republican Roy Moore on Tuesday in Alabama’s special election for the Senate — the same one Democrat Robert Vance nearly rode to victory against him five years ago.

An average of six of the most recent polls indicates that Roy Moore has a slim lead over Doug Jones in the race to become Alabama’s next senator, with an average of 48.3 percent of likely voters saying they will vote for Moore and 45.6 percent saying they will vote for Jones. Why it […]
A conservative writer for the Washington Post asked this week what many in our movement nationally have been pondering while watching Alabama creep ever closer to sending Roy Moore to the U.S. Senate: “What’s the matter with Alabama?” Examining a recent poll, columnist Jennifer Rubin bemoaned that Moore received nearly 60-percent of the female vote, […]
Chris Matthews appeared on MSNBC this week and made the absurd statement that Alabama’s “crazy” and “mythical” beliefs about Israel are what caused President Donald Trump to announce he’s moving our embassy from Tel Aviv to that nation’s eternal capital – Jerusalem. “Don’t think this isn’t related to Alabama next week. It is related,” […]
Claims that the Republican tax reform efforts would maim middle-class taxpayers are false. Without a doubt, many people, particularly graduate students and those with exceptionally high medical expenses, have legitimate concerns about how the Republicans’ tax reform efforts would affect them. Taxing tuition waivers and canceling the medical expense deduction, as the House bill does, […]
A billboard in front of Living Way Ministries in Opelika is making news for its rather odd comparison. “They falsely accused Jesus,” the sign read. “Vote Roy Moore.” Several members of the congregation have keys to the sign, church officials told WHNT News 19. After it was left up for an unknown length […]
Roy Moore is not in the Supreme Court chambers today as the justices weigh whether a Colorado baker had the right to say “no” to a gay couple, but the Alabama Senate candidate’s fingerprints will be on the debate, nonetheless. The former Alabama Supreme Court chief justice’s private legal group, the Foundation for […]
Alabama’s U.S. Representatives Terri Sewell (D-Birmingham) and Martha Roby (R-Montgomery) co-sponsored a bill that passed the House last week requiring all House members, employees, staff and nonpaid personnel to complete sexual harassment and anti-discrimination training.

There has been much chatter in Washington that the Senate might expel Roy Moore or even refuse to seat him at all if he wins this month’s special election in Alabama, but that would be harder than many realize.

It’s come to this, Alabama: Jimmy Kimmel said he’s ready to fly down to Alabama and have a fist fight with Roy Moore. Why is this happening? The judge and the late night comedian began a war of words after one of Kimmel’s writers mocked Moore at a rally Wednesday night at the Magnolia […]
Depending on who you ask, Republican U.S. Senate candidate Roy Moore either has a five or six point lead in his race against Democrat Doug Jones in the December 12th contest.

A group of anti-Roy Moore protestors led by media darling and drag queen Ambrosia Starling held a rally earlier this week on the steps of the Alabama State House, reported the Montgomery Advertiser. “Every minority in Alabama is in trouble,” Starling said. “Every minority in America is in trouble.

Sexual misconduct allegations against Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore have raised the very real possibility that Democrat Doug Jones could win next month’s special election, which would produce a rarity in Alabama politics — a split Senate delegation. How rare? According to research by University of Minnesota political scientist Eric Ostermeier, no other […]
Pro-life candidates in the Alabama Democratic Party have long been on the political equivalent of the threatened species list. Abortion rights extremists have hunted them mercilessly, their numbers have dropped precipitously, and their once vast territory has shrunk to a few measly electoral acres on the outskirts of their party. But has the nomination of […]
A retired Marine Corps colonel from Tuscaloosa has launched a long shot write-in campaign seeking to outflank Roy Moore and Doug Jones in next month’s special election, reported the Washington Post. “I just don’t believe that either one of them are qualified to be in the U.S. Senate,” said retired Colonel Lee Busby, 60, […]
The continuing efforts to explain away the allegations against Roy Moore as merely a new front in some national war between political factions have reached a new, utterly dishonest, and immoral low with a piece by the otherwise esteemed Angelo Codevilla in The American Spectator. Back before enough people were making such observations, […]
Remember that adage about not putting all of your eggs in one basket? That has happened to the anti-abortion movement. All of our votes are in the Republican Party’s basket. So too are the lives of millions of unborn babies, all depending upon the unpredictable success of a single political party, and at times […]
Doug Jones would likely swamp Roy Moore in next month’s special election if the Democrat didn’t hold such extreme pro-abortion views.

(The following is an open letter to the voters of Alabama from Bill Staehle of Asbury Park, New Jersey.) I served with Roy Moore in Vietnam in 1971-72, where I knew him to be an altogether honorable, decent, respectable, and patriotic commander and soldier. I have had no contact with him since. He […]

After Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey indicated that she believed Roy Moore’s accusers but would vote for him anyway, the reaction was swift, severe and predictable.
