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.

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...
