Ready for Thanksgiving? Before you eat that turkey, I hope you think about why America has turkeys for you to eat. Most people don’t know. Everyone’s heard about that first Thanksgiving feast — Pilgrims and Indians sharing the harvest. We like the drawings of it we saw in schoolbooks — shared bounty. Fewer […]

    In just over a month before the Senate election, multiple women came out with information regarding Judge Moore. I use the word information because not all the women accused Judge Moore of anything. There were, by my count, three accusations. Two were juveniles when they allege Judge Moore assaulted them, one was an […]

    A common feature of our time is the extent to which many in our nation have become preoccupied with diversity.

    Looking at the political headlines recently, it could be easy to give in to dismay, disgust, or discouragement.  There is certainly good reason for these feelings. It’s disgusting when we see politicians pointing to Joseph’s relationship with Mary to excuse allegations of an older man abusing a teenage girl. It’s dismaying when it […]

    While it is difficult to persuade a state that relies on the federal government for 42 percent of its budget that it should begin to unwind some of those funds, there is arguably more for a state to gain than lose by shedding some of its dependence on the federal trough. But even […]

    I’m an advocate of higher education and all, but so much for assuming that the development of common sense and sound judgment are part of the package. A Pew Research Center poll found that 77 percent of Democrats with a bachelor’s degree or more believe a person’s gender can be different from the […]

    Bryan Nettles of Mobile is of a generation that doesn’t have the connection to the outdoors that I and my Baby Boomer hunting buddies have. We stayed outdoors and followed in our fathers’ (or mentors’) footsteps into the world of hunting, for both recreation and sustenance. However, like many from the later generations, […]

      If the crown prince of Saudi Arabia has in mind a war with Iran, President Trump should disabuse his royal highness of any notion that America would be doing his fighting for him. Mohammed bin Salman, or MBS, the 32-year-old son of the aging and ailing King Salman, is making too many […]

      Shaun Alexander, the former University of Alabama star running back and the NFL’s 2005 MVP, spoke out this week in support of a bill to establish a parental rights amendment to the U.S. Constitution. “I am amazed at how much authority the courts have over parents’ rights today,” said Alexander, who is […]
