  • TRUMP TRADE TRIFECTA - The Strategic Play of the Century

    Perry O Hooper Jr|Aug 12, 2025

    President Trump has done what the globalist class said was impossible: deliver not one, but three landmark trade agreements that prioritize American workers, rebuild our industrial base, and realign global economics on terms that favor freedom over bureaucracy. This new economic trifecta, $550 billion Japan investment framework, the rebalanced UK free trade agreement, and the long-overdue EU tariff realignment represents the boldest shift in trade policy since the Reagan era. These aren't...

  • "So have I become your enemy by telling you the truth?"

    Robert Tate|Aug 12, 2025

    1. Mass Migration Sucks: This should come as no surprise to anybody but unfortunately, it does. Mass migration, as we have seen over the past ten years has become a complete and total failure. That is of course unless you are one of the millions of people who have invaded foreign lands in order to escape the world in which you lived just to make these better parts as inhospitable as the world you came from. Does anyone here remember the summer of 2015? I sure as heck do. That is the summer the...

    Aug 12, 2025

    August 1, 2025 - TROY, AL. - The Troy Trojans kicked off their 2025 fall camp on July 30 with a clear mission: build on last season's late momentum and reassert themselves as a Sun Belt contender. Under second-year head coach Gerad Parker, the Trojans entered camp with more returning starters than any other program in the conference-a fact that's already paying dividends in intensity and execution. "Everything we've done since January has been intentional," Parker said. "This is phase four-fall...

  • "Dark MAGA" Discussed At Tuscaloosa's Eagle Forum

    Luisa Reyes|Aug 12, 2025

    August 2, 2025 - TUSCALOOSA, AL - The phrase, "Make America Great Again", has become the rallying cry for Trump supporters who interpret it to mean the three key elements of the psyche of the American voting populace: Providence, Prosperity, and Patriotism. The enduring popularity of the phrase during President Trump's campaigns for higher office has led to it being shortened into simply "MAGA" and has become a common logo worn on hats and t-shirts for Trump voters. However, every political...

  • From One Big Soviet Bill: American Party's birth

    John Sophocleus|Aug 12, 2025

    Comrade Trump’s Big Soviet Bill further mashed the accelerator on our path to the junk heap of history. The One Big Beautiful Bill Act [OBBBA] is now law, adding hundreds more pages of unconstitutional text to the federal register. Echoing Speaker Pelosi (Trump’s past Kabuki Theatre friend when ‘donning’ his longer worn Blue Soviet jersey) shrieks “We had to pass the bill to know what’s in it,” our DC politburo is keeping the trend to oblivion set by Comrades Trump (45) and Biden these past year...

  • "Throw it on God"

    Trisston Wright Burrows|Aug 12, 2025

    Let's get rid of some unnecessary weight today. I'm sure you're familiar with the scripture in I Peter 5 that says, “Humble yourself under the mighty hand of God so that you can exalt you in due time. Casting all your cares on Him because He cares for you.” The way I look at it is that it is an aggressive form of humility because cast means to throw it…not to just hand it over or flirt with it before you give it to God. It says to throw that stuff off of you. But just don't throw it anywh...

  • Transforming the Union

    John M Taylor|Aug 12, 2025

    Lincoln claimed the North was fighting to preserve the Union. However, fighting to preserve a voluntary Union is a contradiction since force is antithetical to voluntary consent. Alexander Hamilton noted: “To coerce the States is one of the maddest projects that was ever devised…Can any reasonable man be well disposed toward a government which makes war and carnage the only means of supporting itself; a government that can exist only by the sword?” The New England power structure did just that....

  • WHAT WAR BEGAN 75 YEARS AGO?

    Col. John Eidsmoe|Aug 12, 2025

    If you don’t know the answer to this question, or even if you had to think about it for awhile, you’ve proven my point: The Korean War (June 1950 – July 1953) is America’s forgotten conflict. Of all the memorials on the Washington Mall, the Korean War Memorial is my favorite. In graphic detail, larger than life, it depicts in stainless steel 19 gaunt American soldiers in full battle dress as they grimly ascend a hill to commence an attack. Instead of being bunched together, they are spaced...

  • Tommy Tuberville Will Waltz to Governor in a Cakewalk

    Steve Flowers|Aug 12, 2025

    As early as last Thanksgiving, there were smoke signals coming out of Washington that our popular Senior Senator, Tommy Tuberville, was going to forgo an easy re-election jaunt to a second, six-year term in the United States Senate, to run for Governor of Alabama in 2026. The coveted Governor’s office was going to be open because Governor Kay Ivey could not run for another term. Kay will have served as Governor longer than anyone in state history, other than George Wallace, when her decade l...

  • Wars article

    Brandon Moseley|Aug 12, 2025

    Matthew 24:6-13 NIV 6 You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. 7 Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of birth pains. 9 “Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me. 10 At that time many will turn away from the faith a...

    Staff Writer|Aug 12, 2025

    August 6, 2025 - MOODY, AL - Alabama's Gulf Coast fishing community is set to benefit from a new emergency rule issued by NOAA Fisheries that increases red grouper catch limits and extends the recreational fishing season through the end of 2025. The move follows an updated stock assessment showing red grouper populations are healthy enough to support expanded harvests while maintaining sustainability. "This emergency rule means more time on the water catching more red grouper, and it is good...

  • Teachers Expand Their Education at Alabama State Parks

    David Rainer, Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources|Aug 12, 2025

    Educators are expanding their education this summer in a rather unusual class setting – Alabama State Parks. The Teacher-Educator Workshop Adventures series takes 25 educators on a first-come basis to visit State Parks in the five different districts in the state to learn about the wealth of outdoor educational opportunities. The 2025 workshop series, titled Teaching Outside the Walls: Alabama's Ecology in Action, focuses on themes from Southern Wonder: Alabama's Surprising Biodiversity, a b...

    A.I. generated content|Aug 12, 2025

    August 1m 2025 - AUBURN, AL - The Auburn Tigers kicked off their 2025 fall camp on July 29 with a renewed sense of purpose and a single word guiding their preseason mindset: expectant.

  • Fighting Over The Flag

    Michael J. Brooks|Aug 12, 2025

    “Our flag was still there” after the British assault on Ft. McHenry in 1814. Now there’s a different assault. Some protest the American flag in the worship place, decrying “Christian nationalism.” We probably have some who equate the USA with the “new Jerusalem,” but I don’t know that I’ve ever met them. They’re certainly not in any church I’ve ever served. What I’ve seen in my pastoral experience is sincere Christians who love God and love their country. Many of them served their homeland i...

  • A Geological Mystery

    John Martin|Aug 12, 2025

    Back in 2011, a group of researchers at the University of Bristol performed some ultra high precision analyses on some of the Earth's oldest rocks from Greenland. These were four billion years old—almost as old as the Earth itself at 4.5 billion years. Using tungsten as a benchmark, the studies concluded that tungsten along with our precious metals in the Earth’s crust originated from a global bombardment of “about 20 billion billion tonnes of asteroidal material” that occurred about 200 mil...
