My hometown paper drives me crazy.   I read The New York Times because it often has good coverage. The newspaper pays to send reporters to dangerous places all around the world.   This weekend, the Times Magazine did a surprisingly fair profile of Sean Hannity, although they chose photos that make […]

  The Massachusetts Medical Society voted to repeal its policy regarding assisted suicide and euthanasia on Saturday, moving from its well-established opposition to the practice to a “neutral engagement.”   “The Massachusetts Medical Society (MMS) rescinded its longstanding opposition to physician assisted suicide, or the act of a physician writing a prescription for a lethal […]

    Even if we don’t know for certain whether Roy Moore had sexual contact (of a sort) with 14-year-old Leigh Corfman, we now know that Moore has made a conscious decision to lie about his onetime relationships with teenage girls.   We know this from a combination of his own words and of new […]

    This week, Republicans in the Senate finally passed their long-awaited tax reform plan. It lowers individual income tax rates across the board, although it does claw back some government revenue in the form of elimination of state and local tax deductions. It drops corporate tax rates as well. It is, in other words, […]

    Did you see the Sunday guest column at al.com by Alabama’s temporary U.S. Sen. Luther Strange? It would be risible if it weren’t also so insulting to readers’ intelligence.   Entitled “The importance of taking on corruption,” Strange’s column bragged (in effect) that “the National Association of Attorneys General asked me to deliver […]

    A political ad being broadcast throughout the state warns Alabama voters that “your community will know” whether you do anything to keep Roy Moore from winning the Senate election next Tuesday. Why this matters: The ad, paid for by a group called “Highway 31,” states that your vote is public record. The ad’s language is misleading. […]

Every time you have to keep telling somebody, “Abortion is normal,” what you’re really revealing is that, "We want you to think it’s normal but it’s not.”

Could anyone possibly contest that the last half-century has witnessed a significant breakdown of marriage and a lowering of moral standards?

Some of the motivation for secessionist movements in Europe is similar to the motivation found in the Confederacy's independence movement of the 1860s.

Write-in candidate Lee Busby garnered 5 percent support in a new Emerson College poll of likely voters. He may spoil Roy Moore's chances as Doug Jones closes in.

  Janet Porter of Faith 2 Action called into the show today to talk about her approval of Judge Roy Moore. She goes into depth about her feelings of disapproval of Doug Jones and what he stands for. She touches base on abortion and other topics as well. She also mentions that she is a […]

Refugee admissions to the United States were down 83 percent in the first two months of fiscal 2018 (October and November) compared to the first two months of fiscal 2017. A total of only 3,108 refugees were admitted in October and November down from the 18,300 refugees who were admitted in October and November of last […]

  Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell backed off his opinion that Roy Moore should drop out of the Alabama Senate race, saying on CBS’s “Face the Nation” that “the people of Alabama are going to decide a week from Tuesday who they want to send to the Senate.” Why this matters: During the Senate primary, McConnell […]

Any fair reading of President Trump's judicial nominee list shows he is maintaining his commitment to put in originalists and constitutionalists.

    Curious about how global aerospace company Leonardo’s Alabama workforce would manufacture the U.S. Air Force’s next-generation trainer aircraft if it’s picked for the role? Leonardo announced plans in March for an advanced manufacturing center in Tuskegee for its T-100 trainer jet, one of the contenders in an Air Force competition to replace its […]

North Korea's Kim Jong Un would be a fool to give up his missiles and nukes, and while the man is many things, a fool is not one of them.

    Over the weekend NPR aired a story about how Alabama’s business community fears that Roy Moore’s likely election to the Senate could hurt the state’s economic growth, costing jobs for the very people he seeks to represent. “Roy Moore is a disaster for business and economic development. He was a disaster even before […]

  Alabama faces a barn-burner of a Republican primary for state attorney general next year, with at least four highly qualified candidates. The one perhaps the least well known to the general public is, oddly enough, the one who has almost certainly spent the most quality time with the biggest state and national Republican luminaries. […]

    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. Looking deeper: Constituents are calling into question the long-standing protocol Congressional members have been using in cases where […]

      Trussville’s Elisabeth Chramer has become the latest contributing writer to join the new staff of Yellowhammer News, the site announced Sunday. “We’re very happy to welcome Elisabeth to our team,” said the site’s managing editor, Rachel Blackmon Bryars. “Her passion for telling the stories about Alabama and the people who make it […]

    Due to a large number of requests for guidance on the exact procedures that someone would need to follow to cast a write-in vote in the December 12 Senate Special Election, Secretary of State John H. Merrill has directed his team to develop and distribute the following directions for voters that have questions […]

      Site Selection, an economic development-focused publication, ranked Alabama No. 6 in its annual State Business Climate survey, a healthy improvement over rankings in the previous two years. The magazine’s closely watched rankings are based largely on feedback from site selection consultants and corporate real estate executives, as well as the level of […]

    Roy Moore’s Senate campaign is running a TV commercial featuring a cheap lie that harms public faith in our constitutional system. On a personal level, the lie isn’t as vicious as the smear-by-out-of-context-innuendo to which a recent Doug Jones ad has subjected Moore. In terms of systemic damage, though, Moore’s commercial is somewhat […]

Planned Parenthood, the supposed paragon of free choice, has waged a campaign to force pro-life organizations to violate their very reason for being.
