    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.

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.

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

    Perry O Hooper Jr|May 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...

    Perry O Hooper Jr|Apr 1, 2025

  • A Smarter Way Forward: Private Sector Partnership is the Key to Reducing Recidivism

    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...

  • The Gall of Zelensky: An Ingrate Who Spat in America's Face

    Perry O Hooper Jr|Mar 2, 2025

    The mask has finally slipped. Volodymyr Zelensky-the man who has begged, pleaded, and demanded billions from the American taxpayer-waltzed into the White House today, only to sneer at his benefactors, dismiss their calls for peace, and lecture America like we owe him something. The sheer audacity is staggering. Let's be clear: America has poured untold billions into Ukraine's war effort. Weapons, intelligence, financial aid-we've done it all. We've shouldered a conflict that isn't ours, while...

  • Senator Tuberville's Fight for Women's Sports is a Fight for America's Values

    Perry O Hooper Jr|Mar 2, 2025

    The radical left has once again shown its true colors. Last week, in a moment of sheer political theater, Senate Democrats donned pink, a color traditionally associated with supporting women's rights, in an ostensible display of solidarity-right after voting in lockstep against Senator Tommy Tuberville's Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act. The contradiction was glaring. They claimed to stand for women while actively undermining their privacy, dignity, and opportunities in sports. This w...

  • President Trump's War on Antisemitic Hate Starts Now

    Perry O Hooper Jr|Mar 2, 2025

    Antisemitism has no place in a civilized society, least of all in higher education, where young minds are molded, and ideas are forged. Yet, America’s universities have become breeding grounds for Jewish hate—rhetoric, harassment, and violence masquerading as free speech or political critique. Donald Trump’s administration is cracking down, and it’s about time after the Biden’s administration’s complete failure on fighting antisemitism on college campuses letting Hamas sympathizers rule the day....

  • No More Free Rides: How Tariffs Are Restoring American Economic Power

    Perry O Hooper Jr|Feb 7, 2025

    The media elites and globalist bureaucrats are at it again, crying about Trump's tariffs while ignoring the decades of economic warfare waged against the United States. China is flooding our markets with artificially cheap steel and electronics by sending them to Mexico and Canada to be exported to the US exploiting trade loopholes to undercut American industries and we have been sitting idly by. Let's be crystal clear: tariffs aren't just about trade; they're about national security,...

  • Paul Wellborn and the Fight for American Cabinetry A Triumph of Leadership Against Unfair Trade

    Perry O Hooper Jr|Feb 7, 2025

    When Donald Trump took office as the 45th President of the United States, he inherited a country grappling with the consequences of decades of unfair trade practices, particularly from China. One of the hardest-hit industries was American cabinetry, a bedrock of American craftsmanship and manufacturing. The flood of cheap, dumped, and government-subsidized Chinese imports were putting thousands of hardworking Americans out of jobs and permanently crippling the domestic market. But America had a...

    Perry O Hooper Jr|Feb 7, 2025

    Alabama's own Anna Claire Howland, 21, has become the latest conservative icon, not just because of her beauty and grace, but because she represents a new generation of young, ambitious, and fiercely independent thinkers. This is evident in her and her conservative peers advocacy for free speech on college campuses, their defense of individual liberties, and their vocal support for pro-growth economic policies that empower young professionals. The aging Democratic elite and their media lapdogs...
