Purchasing a home is one of the most important investments there is. More than a place to live, homeownership is an asset with the potential to tremendously rise in value.

I’m grateful to the Alabama Gazette for printing what is becoming all too rare these days: the truth. Here’s a hard pill to swallow: the politicians aren’t the problem – you are. Politicians do what they must to get your vote, and you keep giving it to them. The late, great Jimmy Buffett, an Alabama native, had an epiphany that led to his famous realization in “Margaritaville.” At first, it was “nobody’s fault.” Then, he shifted to “it could be my fault.” And, finally, he came to a conclusion...

And except for the few...

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...
Series: The best movies of 2025 so far The year 2024 ended with a bang for the movie business. Between the biggest Thanksgiving weekend on record, primarily thanks to "Moana 2," and the release of several box-office hits in a row—like "Wicked" and "A Complete Unknown"—those last few months might seem hard to top. Still, 2025 might have the potential to do it. The start of the year is always slow in Hollywood. With much of the focus on the major awards shows and the 2024 films that are contenders...
