November 22, 2024 - Gore galore is the overriding aspect of "Gladiator II" which is now showing in movie theaters nationwide. A long-awaited sequel to Ridley Scott's "Gladiator" which was released twenty-four years ago, "Gladiator II" makes heavy use of themes typically featured in male-oriented movies such as revenge, filling the little-known late father's shoes, and honor through fighting. While those topics can sound interesting in and of themselves, in "Gladiator II" these themes are...
Trump won. By now, everybody knows about it but at the same time, many refuse to accept. It has been interesting to see the left and how they cannot deal with it. To be honest, back in 2020, many on the right lost their minds as well but the left’s approach from celebrities, colleges and universities, and all the way to the media has been beautiful. What has become plainly obvious is that our society has largely become a bunch of babies who when they do not get their way, they react through t...
Northwest Alabama is a very special place. Nestled in the lowest foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, it is known for coal mining and includes so many beautiful wonders and remarkable people. I call it home, and I have for almost my entire life. I was born in Jasper and grew up in Cordova in south Walker County with my mother, Patsy, my father, Rufus, and my sister, Angie. My father worked for the power company, and my sister and I attended Walker County public schools. Upon graduation from...
The only sport that Alabamians enjoy more than Alabama politics is college football. We especially love the Alabama vs. Auburn football game – one of the fiercest of college football rivalries. It is the game of the year. It is a state civil war that divides friends and families. It is bragging rights for the entire year. The loser must live with his boasting next-door neighbor for 364 days. You must choose a side even if you despise college football and could not care less who wins. N...
Matt Gaetz did the honorable thing by withdrawing his name from consideration for Attorney General, recognizing that his presence could be a distraction to the entire confirmation process; By stepping aside, Gaetz has shown true leadership, clearing the way for someone who is perfectly suited for the job-Pam Bondi. His decision underscores the gravity of the challenges facing the Department of Justice and the necessity of having a person in place to tackle them head-on. President Trump has made...
November 25, 2024–Surely you didn’t think it’d be as easy as winning one election, did you? News Flash: winning the Presidential election was just the first, albeit critically necessary, step in the fight to restore the Republic. The Resistance began organizing itself the day after Election Day, when it became apparent that President Trump's victory was too big to steal. Props where they’re due: Lara Trump and Co. at the RNC did a stellar job of getting their legal ducks in a row before electio...
The Alabama Gazette is truly the only media outlet in Alabama that is even remotely telling the truth. Nobody else would print what I'm about to say. The "Controlled Minority" are to blame. Republican voters in Alabama like to think of themselves as the "silent majority" but they are not, not even close! They are the "controlled minority". If it makes you feel any better, the Democrat's voters are the "controlled minorities" in the states and cities they control. It transcends party...
This Thanksgiving, let us pause and give thanks to Almighty God for His abundant blessings, His mercy, and His enduring faithfulness. As we gather with family and friends around our tables, it's easy to be discouraged by the challenges our nation faces. Many voices in our world today would have us believe that America's best days are behind us-that division, moral decay, and uncertainty define our future. But I say to you: America's best days are not behind us. They are ahead of us-because of...
Our nation's veterans deserve to be celebrated every day. They have bravely put their lives on the line so that Americans can walk freely. In November we celebrate numerous veteran-related holidays: The Marine Corps' Birthday, National Veteran Small Business Week, and Veterans Day, to name a few. It is on days like these that I am somberly reminded of those who have lost their lives so that I might freely live mine. I often think of the many soldiers, including my dad, who have gone before us...
November 29,2024 - The SEEDS and Growing Alabama programs stand as two critical pillars in Alabama's economic development strategy, enabling transformative growth across diverse industries and communities in our state. Together, these initiatives represent a targeted approach to fostering investment, creating jobs, and enhancing the quality of life for Alabamians. Lately, we've witnessed powerful examples of these programs in action. In Walker County, SEEDS (Site Evaluation and Economic...
December 2, 2024–If you think Matt Gaetz’s nomination for Attorney General freaked out the Deep State, you ain’t seen nothing yet. Kash Patel as head of the FBI is literally the Deep State’s worst nightmare. Saturday afternoon President-elect Trump announced Patel would be his choice to head the Federal Bureau of Investigation, saying on Truth Social: “I am proud to announce that Kashyap “Kash” Patel will serve as the next Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Kash is a brilliant law...
While "Moana 2" is smashing all kinds of box office records for the Thanksgiving Day weekend, "The Best Christmas Pageant Ever" is doing surprisingly well at the box office. With the Christmas themed movie remaining in the top five nearly a month after its original release in the movie theater. And for those who prefer to watch their movies from home, "The Best Christmas Pageant Ever" is set to be released via streaming and video on demand platforms next week on December 10th, 2024. Directed by...
The American people have spoken loud and clear. They delivered the Republican Party majorities in the United States Senate and the House of Representatives and sent President Donald J. Trump back to the White House. With this electoral triumph achieved, it is time to unite as a nation and get America back on track. The sweeping results at the ballot box confirm the American people want conservative, commonsense solutions to the challenges we all face. President Trump has proven time and again...
Doctors, there is no question that y’all are the best at remembering and memorizing what you’re taught, following rules and doing what you've been told. Nobody is better at school than you guys. You are rule followers who can memorize! These qualities are not only desired by, but are mandatory for, admission to medical school. Medical schools don’t want thinkers, they want smart people who will follow orders as medicine is now big business. That's what big business likes. Doctor’s doing just th...
December 4, 2024–I wasn’t surprised, nor am I particularly upset, that old Joe pardoned his son Hunter on December 1st. To those who claimed to be surprised—really? You actually believed the Dementoid and his DEI spox when they said he wouldn’t pardon him? Come on, man! This is Joe Biden we’re talking about! He’s been lying like a lazy dog in the hot sun his entire political career. His “whoppers” and “misspeaks” are legendary. There are even rumors floating around that he’s been talking a...
December 4, 2024 - We are witnessing one of the most egregious abuses of presidential power in modern history. Joe Biden’s “full and unconditional” pardon of his son Hunter Biden is just the latest proof that the swamp is alive and well and must be drained. Biden has been lying about this for years, and now he's using his office to make sure his son stays untouchable, even after getting caught red-handed and pleading guilty. It is not just about the pardon itself: it's about the lies that Biden...
I have no idea who this Robservation is for. Sometimes it is easy for me to decide what to write about. Many news stories always seem to reach out and grab me. And right now, there is no shortage of interesting stories. This Robservation, however, is going to be a little different. A couple of weeks ago, I was telling this story to my brother and something spoke to me and said I should share this as a Robservation. You have always been told that there are two sides to a story. I often say that...
After I wrote my latest Robservation, almost as soon as I sent it in, Iran started launching missiles at Israel - - again!! According to the news, the Iranians launched almost two-hundred missiles, drones and rockets into Israel. Thank God, our God, almost all of those projectiles were defeated and sent down without causing too much damage or casualties. But watching the attack on the television this morning was something that angered me. The entire world, with some notable exceptions, seem to...
The contrast between the Trump-Vance ticket and the absolutely disastrous Harris-Walz team couldn't be clearer. On one side, you've got a proven leader in President Donald J. Trump, a man who brought us economic prosperity, secured our borders, and ensured peace through strength without dragging us into a single new war. On the other side, you've got Kamala Harris and Tim Walz-an uninspiring, inept duo who represent more of the same weak, failed policies of the Biden administration. As Joe...
Yes, there have been multiple musicians who like most arts employed individuals tend to identify as politically and culturally liberal. Trump tends to stir the emotions of those that love him or hate him. That includes opposing politicians such as former Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi who demonstrated her vile contempt that extended not just against the person but against the office when she tore up her copy of Trump’s, State of the Union Address during his Presidency. A song that the Trump...
Although it still remains the electric car superpower, Tesla is beginning to slip behind its Chinese competitors in the production of really affordable vehicles for lower income people. With its launch of the Model 2 Redwood, beginning as low as $19,500, it has taken a step in the right direction. But Tesla is still far behind BYD, which builds several really inexpensive cars, like the Seagull with a sticker price of only $10,000. Throughout history, while most makers were targeting middle and...
The east pediment of the U.S. Supreme Court building features Solon of Athens as a western lawgiver and Confucius of China as an eastern lawgiver. But In the center between them, taller seated than Solon and Confucius standing, is Moses holding the Ten Commandments – a recognition that the Decalogue is the moral foundation of law. The basic principles of our legal system are found in the Ten Commandments: • Respect for life, found in the commandment “Thou shalt not kill” and in our homicid...
Haunted by those anticipating another October surprise, I’m told, ‘Tis the Season for predictions… Kamalalala or Donald Chump.’ As one known to retort Bah, Humbug! at ghosts of elections past evoking the ‘visions of sugar pork dance in my head’-- election ghosts of prostitucians present (in full-throated Kabuki Theatre shriek) were also eerily painful to witness; duopoly party candidates babbling about FEDERAL price controls on food at my local grocery store or eating cats and dogs in Springfi...
Have you ever said this to yourself? I feel like that what I do is insignificant and maybe even pointless. I'm not even sure anybody notices anymore or even cares about me. My friend, may I encourage you? There's a story in the Bible in the book of John chapter 6 about Jesus feeding thousands of people, but there's a part nobody talks about. The story goes that a boy brought 2 fish and 5 loaves of bread in his lunch. I like to think he was packing Star Wars lunchbox because a friend of mine in...
It seems that humans have an inherent tendency to strive to portray themselves as something other than who they truly are. Whether it's Individuals from humble backgrounds pretending to be royalty or politicians attempting to connect with the public, there exists a strong desire within us to belong. However, on occasion, these efforts can result in comical mishaps that SNL affectionately showcases. Imagine John Kerry coming out of the woods with a shotgun to bond with hunters, only to see...
