A woman in Alabama is trying to find the owner of a New Jersey high school class ring. The Bergenfield High School class of 1990 ring was stashed in the closet of the Huntsville, Alabama, home where the woman has lived since 2004. It is engraved with the initials: E.M.L.

“Who am I?” We are all, at some point, faced with this question. Some, more than others, have a considerably difficult time determining an answer (see Hugh Jackman’s character struggle with this question in Les Misérables). Although typically reserved for personal wrestling, this is a question Alabamians should be asking regularly, albeit in a different […]

Six women are suing a north Alabama physician, claiming he inappropriately groped, fondled and kissed them while they were patients. The lawsuit was filed Wednesday in Morgan County Circuit Court against Dr. Michael Dick of Decatur.

Let’s be real — some of this political stuff is boring. BUT — there are primary elections happening in Alabama June 5th, and millennials should ask ourselves: Do we want to leave important political decisions solely to older generations? Here are 10 reasons millennials should care and VOTE June 5th, brought to you by Yellowhammer […]

Campaign money from Alabama’s largest teachers union used to be so toxic in Republican circles that it triggered a party rule — still in effect — discouraging candidates from accepting donations from the organization. No more. In the 2018 election cycle, the Alabama Education Association has been a major player in Republican primaries. The union’s […]

As Attorney General, I have no higher duty than to enforce our laws and ensure the safety of all Alabamians—and that includes the unborn. Throughout my career as a prosecutor and as your Attorney General, I have fought to protect the right to life. While many candidates label themselves as pro-life, I have a proven […]

Enough! I have had it with politicians pussyfooting around the fact that schools need greater safety measures. This isn’t rocket science. Believe me, it isn’t. While I vehemently oppose gun control or legislation that limits a citizen to exercise their second amendment right, I am certainly in favor of increasing safety measures in American schools.

When you read the budget message President Donald Trump sent Congress earlier this year, you soon come across a concession that Washington insiders have been making for years — just before they vote for bills they know will massively increase the federal debt. “The current fiscal path is unsustainable,” Trump said, “and future generations deserve […]

A church deacon in a suburb near Birmingham is facing charges, accused of sexually abusing two girls. Al.com reports Irondale police announced Thursday that 69-year-old Collin Galletly Jr. has been charged with first-degree sexual abuse and sexual abuse of a child younger than 12.

1. No one in Alabama politics is actually paying attention to what Gov. Kay Ivey is doing on school safety, which is … almost nothing — Democrat front-runner Walt Maddox seems to think Ivey wants to arm teachers, which is not true. He “… believes arming teachers and administrators is an insane idea,” a campaign spokesman […]

A plan by Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey to let principals and other administrators store weapons on campus so they can respond to shootings drew mixed reactions Thursday, with an education group expressing support and the NAACP calling it “the absolute worst idea.” Ivey’s “School Sentry Program” would allow administrators in schools that do not have […]

Alabama Republicans say they won’t certify the votes of a statewide candidate who’s come under scrutiny for what the party calls “egregious” comments. The decision announced Thursday means Jim Bonner, who’s running for the utility-regulating Public Service Commission, won’t get the party’s nomination even if he’s the leading vote-getter in Tuesday’s primary.

As the Trump administration works towards imposing what Secretary of State Mike Pompeo says will ultimately be the “strongest sanctions in history” against Iran, the Treasury Department on Wednesday targeted three Iranian organizations and six individuals for “serious human rights abuses.” They include a company that developed mobile applications allegedly used by the regime to […]

Summer driving season is here, and motorists nationwide are seeing an unwelcome sign (literally): higher gas prices. As a result, politicians are playing the blame game, pointing the finger at the Trump administration for higher pain at the pump. But what’s really going on, and is there anything policymakers can do? The law of supply […]

Plato’s greatest contribution to western civilization was not his ruminations on the soul, nor his analogy of the cave, but his idea of the philosopher king. Don’t tune out yet. The concept basically argues that the best ruler is a philosopher, or “lover of wisdom,” in the original Greek. It’s to say that society benefits […]

Yesterday, days before a primary election,  Governor Kay Ivey announced that she is launching the Alabama Sentry Program. Most of the political media in Alabama took the easy out on this story implying Ivey was arming people at school. The thought is that this is insane and Kay Ivey will lose votes for this crazy […]

Have you ever heard of Cara McClure? Odds are that after this Tuesday’s election you will become very familiar with her name. While most of the attention about the election of Public Service Commission (PSC) Place 1 has been focused on the lewd comments and actions of candidate Jim Bonner, the real winner in all […]

The Alabama agency that investigates judicial ethics complaints has agreed to pay $100,000 in legal fees for lawyers representing Associate Justice Tom Parker in a free-speech dispute.

One, a rather scientific poll out of Gallup, which says 55 percent of Americans still believe religion can answer today’s problems. According to the recent Gallup poll, 55 percent of Americans agree […]

Typical Southern Baptists are barraged with the message that gender is a social construct, which means that gender is something subjective and not the result of nature, purpose, or design. They hear this message on television, in movies, in popular songs, in schools, and even in corporate training material. Southern Baptist churches need to educate […]

It is one thing to hear about the Mobile-Tensaw River Delta, with its 600 species of animals and dozens upon dozens of swamps, rivers, creeks, bayous, marshes and patches of wetlands. It is another thing entirely to actually see the delta up close – to fish its waters, paddle its streams and tramp through its forests. That is […]

Earlier this week,  the Expect More for Montgomery Public Schools Campaign, a group that describes itself as a “diverse, bipartisan coalition of Montgomery-area young professionals” offered its endorsements for Montgomery County Board of Education. Expect More explained these endorsements were an effort to elect new leadership for the beleaguered Montgomery public schools. “The Montgomery Public School board […]

On Friday, the British police arrested Tommy Robinson, founder and former leader of the English Defence League, a far-right anti-Islam group. Robinson is a controversial character, to be sure, a sort of Milo Yiannopoulos lite. His chief focus is on the threat of radical Islam, which he believes threatens the integrity of the British system. […]

The Alabama Forestry Association, whose website states that it represents “every facet of Alabama’s forestry community— from the stump (landowners and logging contractors) to forest product manufacturing facilities,” has released its slate of endorsements for the upcoming primaries.
