  • Alabama Will Always Win with Senator Tommy Tuberville

    Perry O Hooper Jr|Dec 1, 2024

    Senator Tommy Tuberville's decision to either seek re-election or run for Governor presents Alabama with a win-win scenario. Whether he remains in the Senate or transitions to state leadership, the ultimate beneficiaries are the good people of the great state of Alabama. In a time when principled leadership is more critical than ever, Tuberville's dedication, vision, and hands-on approach have proven to be indispensable for the people of Alabama and the Nation. Currently President-elect Donald...

  • t's Time To Kill Daylight Savings Time

    Dr. Bill Chitwood|Dec 1, 2024

    January 11, 2025–“Spring forward, Fall back.” It’s the mantra of Daylight Savings Time (DST)—an idea that was presented in the most wonderful, glowing terms but in practice turned out to be inefficient, counterproductive, annoying and deadly. Once enacted, it quickly proved to give few to none of the promised benefits but a plethora of drawbacks and problems. Nonetheless, it has resisted all attempts to do away with it for decades. In other words, it’s the quintessential government program. Al...

  • "Miss Scarlet and the Duke" Returns for Season 5 as "Miss Scarlet"

    Luisa Reyes|Dec 1, 2024

    The popular PBS Masterpiece Mystery series, "Miss Scarlet and the Duke" has returned for its fifth season rebranded as "Miss Scarlet". This is due to the exit of the Scottish leading actor, Stuart Martin, who portrayed the title role of Inspector Wellington, known as "the Duke". While Stuart Martin has left open the possibility of his return to the series at a later date, in "Miss Scarlet" a new inspector for Scotland Yard is introduced in the series, Inspector Alexander Blake, who is portrayed...

  • The Hidden Damage of DEI

    Dr. Bill Chitwood|Dec 1, 2024

    December 14, 2025–We’ve known for some time that Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) is a DEIsaster. Bad puns aside, common sense and the evidence of our own eyes has been telling us that for years. DEI policies were touted as the answer to all manner of ills both real and imagined, usually tied to some vague notion of “social,” “environmental,” “climate” or some other modifier-word “justice.” I say vague notion because I’ve never been able to pin down a formal definition of these not-regular-...

  • Petition To Cancel "Mint Mobile's Explicitly Premium Wireless" Ad

    Luisa Reyes|Dec 1, 2024

    January 16, 2025 - NORTHPORT, AL - Canadian born actor, Ryan Reynolds, stars in Mint Mobile's "Explicitly Premium Wireless" advertisement. An advertisement that is in many ways simplistic by modern advertising standards. As it basically features Ryan Reynolds doing nothing but standing in place in front of a green background with "Mint mobile" featured behind him in white letters. However, as the title of the advertisement suggests, it is explicit. And the commercial features Ryan Reynolds using...

  • Inauguration Day: A Celebration of Tradition, Hope, and Renewal

    Dr. Nicole Jones Wadsworth|Dec 1, 2024

    Inauguration Day stands as one of the most profound traditions in the history of the United States. Every four years, on 20 January, this day serves as a reminder of the enduring strength of democracy and the peaceful transfer of power. The ceremony is a celebration of our nation's resilience, unity, and commitment to its founding principles. Since George Washington took the first oath of office in 1789, Inauguration Day has symbolized a new chapter for our country. It represents the will of...

  • The TikTok Ban Is Backfiring Spectacularly

    Dr. Bill Chitwood|Dec 1, 2024

    January 19, 2025– I love it when a stupid plan falls apart. I love it even more when a stupid, asinine, unconstitutional plan, crafted by and for special interest groups and sold to the American people with a pack of lies, gaslighting and fear mongering by our Cash & Carry Congress backfires spectacularly. That’s exactly what the TikTok ban is doing. TikTok is now officially banned in these United States, contrary to the wishes of 170 million Americans. The app went down Saturday night, and reg...

  • The Golden Era Begins: Trump's Triumphant Return to the White House

    Perry O Hooper Jr|Dec 1, 2024

    The mainstream media was poised, ready to pounce on any sign of weakness. Brutal cold loomed, threatening to upend President Trump’s second inauguration. But true to form, Trump Nation didn't flinch. They adapted, they persevered, and they turned potential adversity into a resounding victory. As someone who has been involved in Republican politics for 50 years and a steadfast supporter of President Trump since his legendary descent on the golden escalator, I have witnessed many historic m...

  • Public Safety Legislation Looks to be on Agenda for Upcoming Legislative Session

    Paul DeMarco|Dec 1, 2024

    January 21, 2025 - The year 2024 was a violent one in Alabama. With the high amount of crime across the state, particularly, in the large metropolitan areas, local officials could not solve the problems alone. It is now up to Alabama leaders to tackle public safety issues that have not been solved at the local level. There are a multitude of reasons for the violence in this country, including what has happened across the country with new no bail laws and the release of prisoners across the...

  • Biden's Pardon-palooza-Will It Stand?

    Dr. Bill Chitwood|Dec 1, 2024

    January 22, 2025–I have a new life goal: I want a blanket, preemptive Presidential Pardon for everything I may or may not have done, or for anything I may or may not do, from birth until death. That’s not too much to ask for, is it? It wouldn’t even be much of a stretch, given the pardons Joe Biden handed out during the final hours of his Presidency. Literally on his way out the door, old Joe pardoned several members of his family, the J6 Committee and staffers, General Milley and Dr. Antho...

  • Biden's Final Act Mocking the Constitution and Cementing His Legacy of Betrayal

    Perry O Hooper Jr|Dec 1, 2024

    January 21, 2025 - Joe Biden spent four years trampling on the Constitution, weaponizing the justice system, and eroding the very foundations of American democracy. But in his final hours in office, he went one step further—he torched it. With a sweeping abuse of executive power, Biden handed out pre-emptive pardons like candy on Halloween, shielding his political allies from accountability before any investigations even had a chance to begin. This isn’t clemency—it’s corruption at the highest...

  • The Trump 47 Agenda Begins: Katie Britt's Bold Leadership in the Senate

    Perry O Hooper Jr|Dec 1, 2024

    January 24, 2026 - It's rare in Washington these days to see courage in action. But every so often, a leader steps up, cuts through the noise, and reminds us why we fight. Enter Senator Katie Britt, the Alabama firebrand who just pulled off the impossible getting 12 Democrats to cross the aisle and vote for the Laken Riley Act. When President Donald J Trump signs the Bill into law it will be the first for Trump 47. Let me say that again. Twelve Democrats members of the same party that brought...

  • The First Five Days

    Dr. Bill Chitwood|Dec 1, 2024

    January 25, 2025–What an interesting week we’ve had! Joe Biden left office with the lowest approval rating on record, and his final pardons finished trashing his legacy. He left his party not just defeated but embarrassed. They’ll never forgive him for that! General Milley‘s portrait has been removed from the Pentagon. His name is irrevocably besmirched, and he now joins the pantheon of traitors alongside Benedict Arnold. He will be remembered only as an example of what NOT to do. Someone...

  • The Sheriff is Back

    Perry O Hooper Jr|Dec 1, 2024

    The world just learned a hard lesson in economic reality. The days of American presidents bowing to globalist elites at Davos, begging for investment while our factories rust, are over. President Donald J. Trump, fresh off his resounding 2024 victory, just laid down the law to the globalists assembled in Davos: if you want access to the American market, you better make your products in America. Otherwise, prepare to pay. The annual gathering at Davos is little more than a festival of hypocrisy,...

  • Alabama is incredibly lucky to have Senator Tuberville

    Perry O Hooper Jr|Dec 1, 2024

    Alabama is incredibly fortunate to have U.S. Senator Tommy Tuberville appointed to three crucial subcommittees on the Senate Armed Services Committee: Strategic Forces, Emerging Threats and Capabilities, and Personnel. These appointments reaffirm Alabama's critical role in our nation’s defense and security infrastructure. Alabama is home to some of the most significant military installations in the country, and Senator Tuberville’s leadership in these subcommittees ensures that our state's con...

  • Election Anxiety: No Jesus, No Peace

    John Sophocleus|Nov 1, 2024

    God and Country. Unlikely young readers are familiar with this three word phrase, part of our lexicon some scores ago. Some oldsters will remember and understand when and why it was evoked. There was a time this phrase and Spirit was an integral part of our lives - perhaps even more embedded in those born and raised South of the Mason/Dixon Line. Most important… the order mattered. God ‘trumped’ all. Can’t recall a presidential election cycle where duopoly party candidates were more over de...

  • "God is Near"

    Trisston Wright Burrows|Nov 1, 2024

    For those of you feeling lonely on this Christmas, I want to remind you that God left his heavenly dwelling to live a rejected life. And the Bible says that He sympathizes with our weaknesses, and He knows what it's like to not have people around him. When Jesus was on the cross, everyone left. He was fully alone. He was despising the shame on his shoulders…and that shame was your shame and that was mine. So if you feel shame or a heaviness about this past year, this Christmas, I want you to l...

  • Trump Wins! Clean Up in Aisles 1-10

    Robert Tate|Nov 1, 2024

    I woke up this morning to the news that Donald Trump had won the presidency yet again. I will be honest. Like I stated in a previous Robservation, I am not a “Trump can never do wrong” guy and there are many things about him that I do not necessarily like. Did I vote for him? Yes. There was absolutely no way I would ever vote for Harris. No Way!! If there had been a viable alternative out there, possibly. But there wasn’t. So, at one point I am happy that Trump won (actually several point...

  • Is There A Recent Interesting Alabama Legal Case?

    Ron Holtsford|Nov 1, 2024

    Yes, there was a decision handed down from the Alabama Supreme Court just a few weeks ago. The occurrence was from November of 2018, so you can see how long even a civil suit might go on. The case comes from Houston County and involves fatalities stemming from a collision between an automobile and a truck. Specifically, Raymond and Florence Trigger stopped their vehicle at their mailbox which was across the road from the driveway to their home. Raymond was driving and after checking their mail...

  • Alabama is a One-Party State

    Steve Flowers|Nov 1, 2024

    Alabama is a one-party, ruby red Republican state. This is a given in both state and national political races – especially presidentially, as you saw earlier this week. The proof is in the pudding. With Republican Presidential nominee Donald Trump’s triumphant conquest of our state on Tuesday, that makes 12 straight Presidential races in which the GOP candidate has carried our state. Trump has carried Alabama by more than 60% in the last three Presidential cycles – 2016, 2020, and now 2024....

  • Where Trump Goes from Here: A Plan for Bipartisanship and Progress

    Perry O Hooper Jr|Nov 1, 2024

    The Fact is that Donald J, Trump is the President elect. He has the chance to be the first Republican President since George H. Bush to win the popular vote. He Finds himself in a critical position, a Republican majority in Congress although somewhat narrow, and a real opportunity to make meaningful changes for America. He has the opportunity to show the world what true leadership looks like. President Trump needs to go beyond the usual political games and work towards something much bigger....

  • "Don't Get Stuck"

    Trisston Wright Burrows|Nov 1, 2024

    One of the most forgotten sins of the Bible is looking back on your past. Did you know that it is actually a sin? Jesus says that He doesn't want you looking back anymore. He tells us the story of Lot, his wife, and two daughter. God was about to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah and God sent two angels of the Lord to rescue them. God only gave them one instruction. Don't look back. That was the only instruction. The life as they knew it was burning down. The Bible says that they came out but Lot’s w...

  • Déjà vu all over again

    Dr. Bill Chitwood|Nov 1, 2024

    November 8, 2024–Have you felt the 2016 vibe these last three days? No, those flashbacks are not your PTSD acting up. The Left are collectively melting down harder than they did in 2016, and it’s even more hilarious now than it was back then. There are a number of things that are virtually identical, of course—the celebrities threatening to leave the country, for instance—but the Left turned it up to eleven and twisted off the knob this time around. Eight years ago we laughed as the special...

  • An Election To Remember-Live Writing The Election

    Dr. Bill Chitwood|Nov 1, 2024

    November 6, 2024–It's 12:37 AM on election night, and Pennsylvania has just been called for President Trump. We're waiting for him to speak, and I'm flipping through channels watching what the different networks are saying about the election. MSNBC is still trying to hold out hope for a Harris victory, and it could still break that way, but...they also have a graphic up on their secondary YouTube channel showing President Trump winning the popular vote 65 million to 60 million. There aren't a...

  • This Is How The World Ends

    Dr. Bill Chitwood|Nov 1, 2024

    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...
