There comes a moment in every Congress when talk has to end and governing has to begin. This is that moment. President Donald J. Trump has made the stakes unmistakably clear when it comes to election integrity: “We must have secure elections. Without secure elections, we don’t have a country.” That is not rhetoric. That is reality. Republicans were not elected to clutch their pearls and seat on their hands. They were not sent to Washington to complain about the filibuster, hold press confe...
College football is on the brink of losing what made it great. Fans know it, coaches are saying it, and even the players are starting to feel it. What was once built on loyalty, development, and tradition has been replaced by uncertainty, short-term decisions, and a system that rewards chaos over commitment. At a time when college athletics is drifting further away from its core mission, Senator Tommy Tuberville is doing what leaders are supposed to do. He is stepping in, calling out the chaos,...
Two thousand years ago, the greatest victory in human history was won without a single sword being drawn. On Easter morning, the world was forever changed not by a king on a throne, not by an army marching in triumph, and not by a political movement rising to power, but by an empty tomb just outside Jerusalem. In that moment, when the stone was rolled away and death itself was defeated, God delivered the most powerful message mankind has ever received. Evil does not have the final word....
High above hostile ground in the mountains of Iran, with enemy forces closing in and no margin for error, an American officer made a decision that defines not only his character, but the very essence of who we are as a nation. After ejecting from his aircraft into enemy territory, injured, isolated, and hunted, he did not wait for rescue to begin fighting for his survival; instead, he moved with purpose, climbing more than seven thousand feet through unforgiving terrain, knowing that every step...
He had spent a lifetime serving his country, rising through the ranks of the United States military, leading men in war, advising presidents in peace, and carrying the weight of national security on his shoulders. From his vantage point, the mission had always been clear: defend the Constitution, protect the American people, and stand firm against threats foreign and domestic. Yet what unfolded next was something no battlefield had prepared him for. Instead of facing an enemy abroad, General...

March 12, 2026 - Washington has perfected a remarkable trick. Whenever real reform threatens the comfort of the political class, someone in the United States Senate whispers one word and the entire system freezes: filibuster. Suddenly the chamber that calls itself the world's greatest deliberative body becomes a sanctuary for delay, backroom deals, and watered-down compromises. The threat of debate has been replaced by the threat of obstruction, and the American people are left watching the...
Across Alabama, families know what inflation feels like. It isn't an academic debate. It is the extra money at the grocery store. It is the gas pump climbing higher than it should. It is the uneasy realization that your paycheck simply does not stretch as far as it once did. For two years under the previous administration, that pressure was constant. Inflation hit 40-year highs. Retirement accounts dipped. Small businesses absorbed rising input costs. Working families carried the burden. That...
You can have the right objective. You can have the right doctrine. But without leaders willing to execute it, words remain words. Operation Epic Fury was not a white paper. It was not a symposium. It was not a "strategic dialogue." It was action. For thirty-six hours, American capability moved in coordinated precision-air assets, intelligence platforms, cyber integration, command-and-control synchronization. Decisions were made in hours, not weeks. Targets were identified, verified, and...
0History teaches a simple, enduring lesson: peace is preserved when strength is unmistakable. From George Washington warning that preparedness is the surest guardian of peace, to Ronald Reagan rebuilding American military dominance so convincingly that the Soviet Union recalculated its future, decisive leaders have understood that hesitation invites danger while clarity restores order. Reagan did not shorten the Cold War with ambiguity. He shortened it by restoring American strength so...

March 7, 2026 - HOOVER, Ala. - Saturday the Alabama Republican Party did something that healthy political movements must always be willing to do: honor extraordinary leadership while confidently passing the torch to the next generation. Alabama Republicans owe a tremendous debt of gratitude to John Wahl for the extraordinary leadership he provided as Chairman of the Alabama Republican Party. Chairman Wahl stepped into the role at a critical time and quickly established himself as one of the...
Alabama has sent a message that will echo far beyond the walls of the State Capitol. With the stroke of a pen, Governor Kay Ivey made clear that in our state, the most vulnerable among us will be protected with the full force of the law. As Governor Ivey said at the signing, "In Alabama, we will always stand up for our children and ensure that those who harm them face the strongest possible consequences under the law." That is not rhetorical. That is resolve. The Child Predator Death Penalty...
If you need ID to pick up a prescription, you should need proof of citizenship to pick the President of the United States. Let's stop pretending this is complicated. The SAVE America Act says one thing clearly: if you want to vote in a federal election, you must prove you are a citizen of the United States. That's it. That's the whole controversy. On February 11, 2026, the House passed the SAVE Act. It requires documentary proof of citizenship to register for federal elections. It requires...
For more than thirty years, American presidents went to the Annual World Economic Forum in Davos Switzerland looking for approval. From Bill Clinton through Barack Obama and Joe Biden, the ritual was the same: reassure the global elite, affirm their economic orthodoxy, and return home to explain why American workers had to “adjust.” Davos was not a debate. It was a blessing ceremony. Donald Trump ended that era. He didn’t go to Switzerland seeking approval. He went to tell them the era of defer...
Melania out-grossed five 2025 Academy Award nominees - including two Best Picture contenders - in a single opening weekend. With $7 million in its first three days, it registered the strongest debut for a non-concert documentary in over a decade, earning an A CinemaScore from audiences and a 99 percent approval rating from moviegoers on Rotten Tomatoes. Much has been made by critics of what they call propaganda. That is not entirely what this film is. What it is, is something far more rare and...
Once again, President Donald Trump got what America wanted at a fraction of the cost the experts said was impossible and once again the critics proved they still do not understand the art of the deal. For years, Washington's foreign policy class treated Greenland as a frozen curiosity strategically interesting diplomatically sensitive and best left to committees studies and polite conversations with no deadlines. Trump looked at the same map and saw leverage. Shipping lanes opening as the...
At pivotal moments in American economic history, the Federal Reserve needs more than a credentialed academic or a cautious caretaker. It needs a steady hand with real world experience, institutional memory, and the confidence to act decisively when the stakes are high. President Donald Trump's nomination of Kevin Warsh to serve as the next Chair of the Federal Reserve is exactly that kind of choice. Warsh is not a theorist peering at the economy from thirty thousand feet. He is a seasoned practi...
Republicans across the country are learning the hard way that elections are not only lost to Democrats. Too often, they are undermined from within by distractions, procedural abuse, and self-inflicted chaos. Alabama avoided that trap this week. By following the rules and rejecting a baseless residency challenge, the Alabama Republican Party showed discipline at a moment when discipline is in short supply nationwide. The residency challenge against Senator Tommy Tuberville was never about the Ala...
When Ronald Reagan ran for president, he did not campaign on managing decline or respecting Washington precedent. He ran on restoring American strength, reviving economic growth, and reminding the country that government exists to serve the people, not the other way around. Reagan understood something modern Washington too often forgets. When the American people demand action, leadership does not hide behind process. Leadership delivers. That same principle drove the Contract with America in...
What occurred in Minnesota was neither a fluke nor an administrative oversight, and it was certainly not an unforeseeable anomaly; rather, it was the predictable and long-developing consequence of a federal culture that has increasingly treated taxpayer dollars as an inexhaustible resource-distributed rapidly in the name of urgency and compassion, tracked loosely under the banner of equity, and audited only after the damage had already been done. Minnesota simply became the place where this...
Let’s get something straight right up front. What just happened in Venezuela was not recklessness. It was long delayed accountability. This operation was carried out by brave men and women of the United States military, many of whom will never be named and will never be publicly recognized. They executed their mission with discipline, precision, and professionalism, placing duty above recognition and country above self and deserve our eternal gratitude. For years, the so-called international c...
Some State of the State addresses are exercises in optimism. Others are lists of aspirations. Governor Kay Ivey delivered something rarer: a closing chapter to a consequential governorship, grounded in results and defined by stewardship. Her final State of the State address was not built on slogans or self congratulation. It was built on facts, outcomes, and an unmistakable sense of duty. Dollar figures tied to real investments. Policy goals connected to real people. Results measured not in...
