In the...
The "No Kings" protest in Tuscaloosa opened with a moment of silence for the democratic legislator who was tragically killed in her home, recently. The protest then proceeded with chants that were modified from "The Occupy Wallstreet" movement over a decade ago. Such as "Hey hey! Ho ho! Donald Trump has got to go!". Which during the Occupy movement was "Hey hey! Ho ho! This corporate greed has got to go." While the protestors had a permit for their event in front of the Richard Shelby Federal...
It was a tradition I grew up with. On the second Wednesday the typical Bible study and prayer time was laid aside for 45 minutes of hearing reports and making motions—the Baptist business meeting. Sometimes it would be tedious and sometimes boring and sometimes contentious. I was a teen-ager when one evening the treasurer announced he wanted to purchase membership in a new box store where customers could buy in bulk. “The membership is $8,” he said, “but we’ll save that much on the first tri...
June 12, 2025 – WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Tommy Tuberville (R-Alabama) criticized fellow Senator Alex Padilla (D-California) following an altercation between Padilla and the Secret Service. Sen. Padilla forced himself into a press conference with Homeland Security Secretary Krisit Noem in which he charged Noem. The Secret Service responded by forcing Sen. Padilla to the ground and then handcuffing him. "You can't show up without your pin, refuse to announce yourself, and lunge at a cab...
The Magna Carta, signed on June 15, 1215, stands as one of the most significant documents in the annals of history, a cornerstone of the modern understanding of democracy, justice, and governance. Its creation was a moment of profound consequence, shaping not only medieval England but also the course of constitutional development worldwide. The Historical Context The Magna Carta did not appear out of thin air; it was born from a tumultuous era of political strife and rebellion. King John of...
June 15, 2025 – WASHINGTON, D.C. – President Donald J. Trump (R) addressed the thousands of soldiers and spectators at the parade in Washington in observance of the 250th anniversary of the founding of the U.S. Army. The U.S. Continental Army was created by the Continental Congress on June 15, 2025 - over a year before the signing of the Declaration of Independence - thus the army predates the country. "Thank you to the greatest fiercest and bravest fighting force ever to stride the face of thi...
It was her First rodeo! Recently, Virginia Beth Wyatt ( like the Sheriff) Weatherly from Mountain Brook had her first birthday party complete with saddles, hay bales and even a boot licking birthday cake. Proud parents, Sarah Ross and Patrick, threw quite a shindig at their new home on the mountain top for the happy one year old. Over 75 friends and family gathered to celebrate and feast. A bouncy castle and tented tables were prepared in the lovely backyard, but a wicked storm popped up to...
On June 16, 1897, officials from the United States and the Republic of Hawaii signed a treaty formalizing Hawaii's annexation into U.S. territory. Although the treaty paved the way for Hawaii's integration into American governance, the Republic of Hawaii would not be officially dissolved until July 7, 1898, when the U.S. Congress ratified the annexation through the Newlands Resolution. Background: Hawaii's Political Shift The signing of the treaty followed years of political upheaval in Hawaii....
June 15, 2025 – WASHINGTON, D.C. – President Donald J. Trump's (R) "Big Beautiful Bill" would make tax cuts permanent for 80 percent of Americans, keep the government funded through the end of the fiscal year, and it would also finally Defund Planned Parenthood – the nation's largest abortion provider, which relies on tens of millions of dollars of subsidies from taxpayers to pay for its ongoing operations. On page 339 of the House version of the bill, Republicans included a provision that...
Teen tech trends and school cellphone bans In early 2025, two of the largest school systems in the country took bold steps to keep students off their phones. The Los Angeles Unified School District in California began a cellphone ban during school hours, citing mental health and academic concerns. A few months later, New York Governor Kathy Hochul announced a plan for a similar “bell-to-bell” smartphone ban in all public schools. These moves reflect growing anxiety about teens spending too muc...

Hurricanes have wreaked more havoc than any other type of natural disaster in the...
How long does debt relief take? There are a variety of debt relief options that can bring debt struggles to an end. It's understandable to want to know how long debt relief takes before you choose one. The short answer is that any debt relief process will take time.

Getting a plan in place is the first step to...
June 16, 2025 - MONTGOMERY, AL - When I was inaugurated as Alabama's Secretary of State, I promised that I would never forget that I work for the people of this state and not the other way around. I'm focused on the fact that the money that funds this office does not belong to us. It belongs to the taxpayers of Alabama, and we should be diligent about the manner in which we spend every dime. By examining our expenditures through the lens of fiscal responsibility and applying common sense, I am...
June 16, 2025 - BIRMINGHAM, AL – The 2026 race for Alabama governor has claimed its first political-and orthopedic-casualty. On Sunday, gubernatorial hopeful Ken McFeeters "whiskey throttled"* a dirt bike straight into the annals of campaign folklore and directly into the ER at UAB's St. Vincent's St. Clair County Hospital. Lacking the backing of Washington lobbyists, coastal elites, and cable news panels, McFeeters turned to the next best thing: a dirt bike stunt. Why speak softly and carry a...

Now that the state sign-on p...
