November 5, 2024 – WASHINGTON, D.C. – all eyes, nationally and globally, are focused on the U.S. elections today.

November 2, 2024 – AUBURN, AL - the good news for Auburn is that the team does not get blown out. They fight hard, hit hard, show incredible toughness, and are tied or leading late in the fourth quarter in most of their games. The bad news is that Auburn loses all those close games. Such was the experience of Auburn fans on the Plains Saturday. The game with the Vanderbilt Commodores was tied 7 to 7 for a long, long time and Auburn was down only 3 points – until Vanderbilt iced the game wit...

November 8, 2024 - MONTGOMERY – Auburn returned to its losing ways on Saturday when Vanderbilt came to the plains and completely shut out the Tigers in the second half. Alabama had a bye week as they prepared for week 11's matchup with LSU. It as Texas A&M that shocked the Alabama Gazette panel when they were dominated by Texas A&M shaking up what most of us thought about the SEC. The SEC games of the week were: Ole Miss at Arkansas – Ole Miss won 63 to 31. Vanderbilt at Auburn – Vanderbilt won...
November 8, 2024- WASHINGTON, D.C. – on Tuesday, the majority of American voters said in a loud, clear voice: "Not Guilty" on all counts in the criminal prosecution of once and future President Donald J. Trump (R). On Wednesday, Special Counsel Jack Smith bowed to political reality when he asked the court for a pause in his prosecution of President Trump so that he can have time to assess on whether or not the Justice Department can prosecute the incumbent President of the United States – whi...
At Thanksgiving dinner, lucky families will avoid impassioned discussions about religion and politics. But another argument is almost inevitable: white meat versus dark meat. Light meat lovers claim dark meat is greasy; dark meat devotees complain that light meat is dry and lacks flavor. Few meat eaters are ambivalent on the matter. But why do these different types of meat exist, and what underlies these differences? It comes down to the metabolic and functional differences between various...
November 11, 2024–I have seen how the world ends. Or, at least the part where sentient AI either enslaves or slaughters us. Saturday I was giving myself a well-deserved break from politics and scrolling through YouTube for something fun to watch when I happened across a video posted by Brainfrog about a week ago. The title caught my eye: “I told SKYRIM AI they’re in a Simulation. Then Offered an Escape!” Briefly, the YouTuber took an NPC (non-player character) from Skyrim (a fantasy game) t...
I’ve seen a few incidents that make me wonder if it’s true football is a religion. At a funeral a few years ago I read a sign posted on the chapel door. It said, in effect, not to talk about the day’s earlier football game since the family had been busy and planned to watch the recorded game after the funeral concluded. I wondered who they thought might have stepped in to speak a word of comfort to the grieving family and brought up football, or worse, ribbed them about their team’s defeat?...
November 9, 2024 - WASHINGTON, D.C., a FEMA supervisor tasked with providing aid to Americans impacted by Hurricane Milton has been fired for instructing FEMA aid workers to bypass homes of families who had a Trump sign in front of their homes.

November 11, 2024–“How will President Trump fix FEMA?” is the question people are asking right now. It’s the wrong question. The question they should be asking is “why not eliminate FEMA and be done?” Why should we bother fixing something that’s so obviously corrupt, incompetent and contrary to its stated purpose? Why not add FEMA to the kill list with the Department of Education, and about a dozen others I can think of right off the top of my head. Yes, that list gets longer when my gout flares...

The COVID-19 pandemic was the third leading cause of death globally in 2020 and the second in 2021, according to a recent World Health Organization report. The almost 13 million lives lost during those years opened peoples' eyes to the way viruses can mutate or change. Words such as 'variant,' 'subvariant,' and 'strain' became part of the lexicon. All viruses, including SARS-CoV-2, which causes COVID-19, acquire mutations over time as they spread. Some mutations do not change any...

Meanwhile, homeowners are left scrambling to find coverage after their policies are canceled or nonrenewed. Younger homeowners are feeling the effects more than others, according to the 2024 Policygenius...

November 12, 2024 - The story of George Washington Carver, an inductee into the National Inventors Hall of Fame, is inextricably linked with Alabama.

November 12, 2024–Just when I think the Loonies on the Left can’t get any more unhinged, they go and surprise me. We’ve seen a plethora of liberals—mostly women, but a few putative males—posting their mental breakdowns on social media for the last week. It’s been completely predictable, and the “déjà vu all over again vibe” has been the same toxic stew of rage, angst, disbelief and tearful virtual-signaling we saw in 2016, turned up to 11 and the knob twisted off. I’d never heard of the 4B mov...
