State offices, county court houses, and most schools will be closed for the official state. Federal offices, post offices, and most banks will be open.

A...
Stress sweating vs. heat sweating Picture this: Eighty thousand fans in a stadium are on their feet and holding their breath, anticipating a penalty kick that could decide everything. In that suspended moment, players and supporters alike feel that familiar prickle of sweat that has nothing to do with the afternoon sun. That's anxiety sweating, and it's completely different from the sweat people break during a workout or a hot summer commute. Aside from being interesting science, understanding...
Why renting may now be a better financial move than buying Not long ago, buying a home felt like an automatic milestone in many American adults’ lives, but those days are increasingly behind us. In 2025, home sales reached a new 30-year low, and with homeownership out of reach for many Americans, more people are renting to preserve their monthly cash flow. The housing affordability crisis facing America has raised plenty of questions. Is buying still a smart financial move in today’s mar...
Trump Force One: The 2026 technical overhaul of the world’s most famous 757 In the private aviation sector, the line between legacy narrow-body aircraft and modern strategic assets is increasingly defined by technological retrofits. There’s no better evidence for this than the fact that, while many operators are eyeing newer airframes, the strategic overhaul of “Trump Force One” — the nickname for the President’s personal Boeing 757 — proves that capital liquidity is better served by retrofitti...
The rising cost of slip and fall claims for U.S. businesses Slips and falls are a regular occurrence for customer-facing businesses. A customer might slip on a wet floor in a restaurant, or someone could fall at a trampoline park. Visitors can also trip and fall in retail stores, hotels or gyms. The fall might only last a few seconds, but the claim following it can arrive weeks, months or in some cases, years later, often resulting in significant costs for the business. Slip-and-fall claims...
There are moments in American history when political leaders are forced to choose between preserving tradition and preserving the nation. This is one of those moments. The SAVE Act is not some obscure procedural bill. It is not another Washington messaging exercise. It is one of the most important election-integrity measures Congress has considered in decades. At its core, the legislation requires documentary proof of citizenship to register to vote in federal elections, and directs states to...
Ahead of the 82nd anniversary of the largest seaborne invasion in all of history, Hollywood has released a very impacting film, "Pressure", regarding some of the intense decision making that led to the Allied forces landing on the beaches in Normandy during World War II on June 06th, 1944. Specifically, the well-done motion picture, focuses on the decision General Eisenhower faces as to whether or not to continue with the invasion as planned for June 05th, 1944, or delay it until the weather...
Abigail Adams famously wrote to her husband, John, at the Second Continental Congress in 1776, “Remember the ladies.” Southern Baptists currently are remembering and debating the ladies. I met a female associate pastor while visiting a Presbyterian church on recent travels. This practice is common in some American denominations. Alabama Baptists have women in ministry since we’re told about 60 percent of the music ministers in our churches are female. And there are countless female youth, childr...
MONTGOMERY – Governor Kay Ivey on Friday celebrated the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals' decision to allow for the use of the 2021 Alabama-drawn State Senate map.

OZARK, Ala. - May 30, 2026 - Republican congressional candidate David Matthews said Friday that the ongoing Supreme Court fight over Alabama's congressional map underscores a reality many residents of the Wiregrass have long understood: the former district configuration linking Mobile with the Wiregrass did not reflect how Alabamians actually live, work, or identify their communities. Matthews, an Ozark native and two‑time presidential appointee under Donald J. Trump, argued that c...
Some understand the hegemonic foundation of Morrill Land Grant Institutions designed to capture ag and mechanical arts intelligentsia. A land grant is a covenant with the people of a State... not with donors who flaccidly purchase building names on those lands. Auburn's covenant runs to every Alabamian inside the State's borders, including the roughly 28,000 souls in our Alabama Department of Corrections. Long-time Gazette readers are familiar with this story [most notably May 2019...

The resulting clash ended in a devastating defeat for the coalition of Russian princes, with an estimated 20,000 men killed.

By the time you land in middle age — between ages 40 and 65 — the stress can take a real toll on your mental well-being and physical health. That’s the takeaway from new research out of the U...
Every country has border and laws. But the ones that endure—the ones that remain strong—have something more. They share a common set of values. They know what they stand for, and they are not afraid to say it. As the United States approaches its 250th birthday, that raises a basic question: What does it mean to be an American? If we cannot answer that basic question, we have a problem. Nations rarely collapse in dramatic fashion. Decline is usually quieter. More often, countries erode gra...
