    Perry O Hooper Jr|Jul 1, 2025

    President Donald J. Trump Earned the Nobel Peace Prize The Nobel Peace Prize has a rare chance to redeem its reputation-and it must begin by honoring the only world leader who has actually earned it: President Donald J. Trump. In an age of growing conflict and global uncertainty, Trump delivered something rare: peace through strength. Not once, but twice. Not in theory, but in the real world where lives hang in the balance and leadership matters most. The Iran–Israel Ceasefire: A Strategic T...

  • Just When You Thinks It's Not Possible the Left's Meltdown Hits a New Low

    Perry O Hooper Jr|Jul 1, 2025

    Only in America, according to the Left's delusion can you livestream your “oppression” on a $1,200 smartphone while marching with corporate-sponsored signs bemoaning the end of freedom. The radical Left calls this resistance. The rest of us call it nonsense. You really can’t overstate how absurd the Radical Left has become. Picture it: mobs of privileged protestors flooding the streets, screaming at the top of their lungs that they live under tyranny, all while safely marching, waving signs...

  • The Day Donald J. Trump Changed the Republican Party Forever

    Perry O Hooper Jr|Jul 1, 2025

    On that iconic day ten years ago, June 16, 2015, the golden escalator moment wasn't just campaign theater, it was an economic turning point. A declaration that the era of managed decline was over and that America was ready to grow, win, and lead again. President Trump didn't just launch a candidacy; he launched a movement that put economic nationalism, working-class prosperity, and American exceptionalism back at the center of our political discourse. The globalist elite had handed over our...

  • David vs. Goliath: Montgomery Academy Stuns Oak Mountain for 7A Soccer Title

    Perry O Hooper Jr|Jun 1, 2025

    Let me tell you a little something about expectations-Oak Mountain had 'em. Piled high. Thirty wins, one loss, number one in the country, and a MaxPreps computer that gave Montgomery Academy a big, fat 0% chance to win. That's not a long shot. That's not a Hail Mary. That's a "don't bother showing up." But soccer isn't played on spreadsheets. It's played on grass. It's played with heart. And in Huntsville, it was played with grit, guts, and a maybe a little divine intervention. Montgomery...

  • The Big Beautiful Bill Is Non-Negotiable: Republicans Must Rally Behind President Trump's Bill or Face Oblivion

    Perry O Hooper Jr|Jun 1, 2025

    The stakes couldn't be higher! President Donald Trump's "big, beautiful" bill is the lifeline America needs, and Senator Tommy Tuberville is sounding the alarm: pass this bill, or the GOP will be obliterated in the 2026 midterms. Representative Ronnie Jackson is equally clear, roaring, "ALL Republicans MUST stand with PRESIDENT TRUMP and get this DONE for the American people!!" This isn't just a policy fight-it's a do-or-die moment for the Trump Agenda and the soul of our nation. Republicans,...

The newly negotiated partnership between U.S. Steel and Japan's Nippon Steel is not just a business transaction-it's a bold declaration of America's industrial resurgence. It's the America First doctrine in action: protect our workers, rebuild our factories, and keep strategic assets right here at home where they belong. The Biden administration tried to sink...

  • Democrats Shameful Endorsement of Anti-ICE Violence

    Perry O Hooper Jr|Jun 1, 2025

    The streets of Los Angeles and New York City have descended into anarchy, with immigration protests morphing into violent assaults on Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials, widespread destruction of public property, and blatant disregard for the rule of law. Explosives detonated against federal buildings, rocks and concrete hurled at law enforcement, and taxpayer-funded infrastructure defaced-these are not acts of protest but of insurrection. Yet, the elected leaders of these...

A message to Tehran, to their terrorist proxies, and to the world: The United States will not sit idly by while t...

  • A New Standard of Conservative Leadership: How Senators Britt and Tuberville Helped President Trump Define the First 100 Days

    Perry O Hooper Jr|May 1, 2025

    In American politics, reflecting on the first 100 days of a presidency are more than just a tradition-they are a test of purpose, power, and political will. Franklin Roosevelt was the first to make history by seizing that window with decisive action. President Donald J. Trump, in his second term in his first 100 days delivered political "shock and awe" as Saun Hannity so aptly described his first three months. And standing shoulder to shoulder with him have been Alabama's two U.S....

  • The Establishment Pentagon's Worst Nightmare Why Pete Hegseth Mush be Secretary of Defense

    Perry O Hooper Jr|May 1, 2025

    The ferocious campaign, led by the media with The New York Times at the forefront, to have Pete Hegseth fired as Secretary of Defense is not evidence of his unfitness but proof that he is President Trump’s man and the right leader for the job. When the establishment—defense contractors, career bureaucrats, political insiders, and their media allies—unites to smear a leader with such intensity, it reveals their fear of disruption to a broken system. Pete Hegseth, a decorated combat veter...

    Perry O Hooper Jr|May 1, 2025

    John Wahl -The MAGA Party Chairman President Trump Needs in Every State America was at a crossroads, facing rising inflation, open borders, and a government disconnected from the people.

    Perry O Hooper Jr|Apr 1, 2025

    Every April, Second Chance Month challenges us to rethink how we treat those who’ve paid their debt to society. It’s not just about compassion—it’s about common sense. With nearly one in three formerly incarcerated individuals returning to prison in Alabama, according to the Alabama Department of Corrections' most recent recidivism data, it’s clear we need a better approach. That better way is taking root under the leadership of Director Cam Ward and the Alabama Bureau of Pardons and Paroles,...

  • Unelected and Unhinged - How Rogue Judges Are Sabotaging the Republic

    Perry O Hooper Jr|Mar 21, 2025

    It is time to wake up, the Trump agenda is under attack, and the front lines are not in Congress, they’re in the courtroom. The American republic is under siege, not by foreign invaders or armed insurgents, but by a cabal of unelected federal judges, handpicked by leftist presidents, who have morphed into judicial tyrants. These black-robed activists are staging a slow-motion coup against President Donald J. Trump, chipping away at his executive powers with every gavel strike. Their mission? T...

  • President Trump's Bold Bid for Peace Deserves Our Full Support

    Perry O Hooper Jr|Mar 21, 2025

    President Donald Trump is smashing through the Russia-Ukraine quagmire with the iron will and razor-sharp instincts America demanded when it swept him into office, and Senator Lindsey Graham's recent X post nails it: Trump's leadership is the only force fierce enough to forge a "just and honorable" end to this three-year slaughter. While Biden bumbled, tossing cash and guns at Zelensky like a clueless bystander, President Trump seized the reins and if I know President Trump he will outmaneuver V...
