July 3, 2025 - STAMFORD, Conn.-Today, Philip Morris International's U.S. businesses ("PMIU.S.") unveiled "Invested in America," a bold advertising campaign that brings to life the company's deep-rooted commitment and increased contributions to America and Americans. The campaign's message is grounded in the role PMI U.S. is playing in powering job growth, revitalizing manufacturing, improving public health by offering adults 21+ who smoke better choices, and strengthening communities across the...
Only in America, according to the Left's delusion can you livestream your "oppression" on a $1,200 smartphone while marching with corporate-sponsored signs bemoaning the end of freedom. The radical Left calls this resistance. The rest of us call it nonsense. You really can't overstate how absurd the Radical Left has become. Picture it: mobs of privileged protestors flooding the streets, screaming at the top of their lungs that they live under tyranny, all while safely marching, waving signs,...
You would have to be living under a rock to not be aware that two of our state’s metropolitan areas have a serious problem with violent crime. Montgomery and Birmingham have become crime-ridden war zones that resemble third world countries like Mexico, run by drug cartels. The rampant, open-ended violence and cavalier murders in Montgomery and Birmingham leapt so high in 2024, that people who still lived there were scared to come out of their homes for fear of being shot. Even their homes w...
Sometimes, the most godly thing you can do after forgiving someone is to leave the relationship….to no longer allow that person to be in your life or let them influence or impact you. You do know that this is biblical, right? Jesus left people. The rich young ruler came to Him. Jesus told the rich young ruler to sell everything he had and give it to the poor. The rich young ruler couldn't do it. So Jesus said He looked at him and loved him and let him go on his way. As a result, it's not u...
There are from what I currently see, three cases collectively brought together that for the purposes of this article we will call DONALD J.TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, ET AL. v. CASA, INC., ET AL. President Trump issued an Executive Order on the first day of his current Presidential term ending birthright citizenship to those in which both parents are illegal immigrants. There may well be a clarified case name and maybe an opinion by the time you read this article so we will see how...
THE VIEWS OF SUBMITTED EDITORIALS MAY NOT BE THE EXPRESS VIEWS OF THE ALABAMA GAZETTE....
There is no doubt that Elon Musk is the world’s wealthiest man. He is also the smartest and the greatest entrepreneur. And unlike his rivals who have a bent toward propriatory monopolization, he is willing to share his technology with others for the benefit of mankind and civilized society. One of his biggest successes is the development of efficient electric vehicles that are capable of drastically reducing the toxic emissions that the radical leftists and “environmental wackos” have been...
World War II ended in Europe 80 years ago, but without obtaining its stated objective. The cause of the war — the sovereignty, territorial integrity and independence of Poland — went unrealized. Poland had merely traded Nazi occupation for Russian domination. For all the high-minded conjecture about a safer, more secure world, the fate of Poland was completely lost in the shuffle. The future peace and stability of a new world order sacrificed Poland to the Soviet sphere of influence. Even bef...
A hotel could’ve been built on Supreme Court Justice David H. Souter’s farm in Weare, NH upon a developer’s request to acquire it via ‘eminent domain’ - yet another term (e.g., democracy, 435, etc.) not in the US Constitution. The “Kelo vs. City of New London” decision supported by Justice Souter proffered this travesty. A private developer evoked Kelo (contrary to the letter and Spirit of our 5th Amendment Civil Right to limit government takings) to build a hotel on Souter’s land. It was the fi...
With all the post-election negativity swamping the news daily, I started to write a Robservation concentrating on some of the buffoonery taking place in Washington. “Trump this” or “Musk that.” “Doge this” or “illegal immigrants that.” I think we can all agree that at times it is too much to bear. I for the most part have stopped watching most news programs because so many fall into disinformation trap of spouting that which is simply not true. Remember, a half truth is a full lie. Failing to...
June 3rd marks the birthday of Jefferson Finis Davis, the only President of the Confederate States of America. Righteous Cause propagandists demonize Davis and others who understand the U.S. Constitution to be a compact between the ratifying States, meaning it is up to the citizens of the respective States to remain in the Union or leave it. Although commonly accepted in both North and South in the early days of the Republic, this view is foreign to many modern Americans. To amplify the present...
So all of the speculation is now over and he made it official this past week. United States Senator Tommy Tuberville announced that he is running to be the next Governor of the state of Alabama. It started off as a rumor and then a lot of talk and now he is for certain a candidate for the state’s top office. There may be some token opposition in the Republican Primary but with Lieutenant Governor Will Ainsworth taking his name out of contention, Senator Tuberville will undoubtedly be the GOP nom...
The stakes couldn't be higher! President Donald Trump's "big, beautiful" bill is the lifeline America needs, and Senator Tommy Tuberville is sounding the alarm: pass this bill, or the GOP will be obliterated in the 2026 midterms. Representative Ronnie Jackson is equally clear, roaring, "ALL Republicans MUST stand with PRESIDENT TRUMP and get this DONE for the American people!!" This isn't just a policy fight-it's a do-or-die moment for the Trump Agenda and the soul of our nation. Republicans,...
Let's be perfectly clear: President Donald J. Trump has just scored one of the most consequential economic victories of the 21st century. The newly negotiated partnership between U.S. Steel and Japan's Nippon Steel is not just a business transaction-it's a bold declaration of America's industrial resurgence. It's the America First doctrine in action: protect our workers, rebuild our factories, and keep strategic assets right here at home where they belong. The Biden administration tried to sink...
May 19, 2025 - MONTGOMERY, AL - Majority Leader Scott Stadthagen (R - Hartselle) said on Monday that the Alabama House Republican Caucus kept its pledge to pass the "Alabama Values" legislative agenda and statement of principles, a list of conservative issues and initiatives that the body's supermajority promised to prioritize during the 2025 regular session. "The 'Alabama Values' agenda highlighted the conservative beliefs and values that most Alabamians embrace, and Republican House members wo...
May 7, 2025: - Former Lt. Governor and State Leader George McMillan passed away Easter weekend in Birmingham. George was 81. McMillan had a meteoric career in Alabama politics. He grew up in Greenville where he had extensive family connections. He was a young, superstar politico coming out of high school. He went to Auburn University, where he was a sensational student leader. He was President of the SGA. He met and became good friends with another student leader at Auburn, our current Governor...
May 28, 2025: When Republicans finally took control of the Alabama Legislature in 2010, they put a conservative stamp on Alabama’s legislative process and lawmaking. They have made sure that Alabamians, and for that matter the rest of the country, know that Alabama is a ruby red Republican state, both socially and fiscally. A good bit of the social posturing has been for show, rather than governing. However, the real impact and resonance has been with the conservative approach to budgeting a...
May 14, 2025: Folks, 2026 is shaping up as one of the best political years in memory in Alabama. The Governor’s, Lt. Governor’s, and Attorney General’s offices and maybe one of our U.S. Senate seats are up for grabs with no incumbent. The jockeying has begun in earnest for all these posts. The Attorney General’s position is a powerful job in Alabama government, and it appears to be attracting several competent competitors. Current Attorney General Steve Marshall has served eight years and is...
Mary had just had a bad night; a really, really bad night. The man her “friend” set her up with and had assured her was the “catch of the century,” had predictably turned out to be anything but. He was grossly immature and socially awkward with a strange and unsettling twitching left eye that never quite seemed to look directly at her. As she brooded over her mug of hot coffee, she thought to herself that it could have been much worse. He could have been an Oakland Raiders fan. She wiped a...
June 5, 2025 – WASHINGTON, D.C. – The very odd partnership between the world's richest man - billionaire tycoon Elon Musk - and President Donald J. Trump (R) came crashing down last week in spectacular fashion last week with Musk calling Trump's "big beautiful bill" to extend the Trump tax cuts and keep the government funded to the end of the fiscal year and "abomination" and Trump saying that Musk opposed the bill because it cut expensive subsidies for Musk's electric car business (Tesla). One...
It has been a little over a month since Alabama lawmakers returned home from the Statehouse. With the dust settling, we can look back at some of what was passed and some that should have passed. The Governor and legislative leaders promised that public safety would be the number one priority this past session. There were some bills that met that goal that did become law. One of those bills, the Speedy Trial Act, was passed to expedite criminal trial dockets to ensure crime victims get justice...
Since 2022, candidates for the Alabama Public Service Commission have discussed a topic called the hidden tax at the PSC. Candidates made statements that the PSC charges a tax on the ratepayers on their power bills and said that the money is sent to the general fund to pay for travel and legislative projects in the state. They have said the PSC uses the money to pay for their travel to different events. Supposedly this tax adds up to millions and millions of dollars a year. This is nothing more...
The streets of Los Angeles and New York City have descended into anarchy, with immigration protests morphing into violent assaults on Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials, widespread destruction of public property, and blatant disregard for the rule of law. Explosives detonated against federal buildings, rocks and concrete hurled at law enforcement, and taxpayer-funded infrastructure defaced-these are not acts of protest but of insurrection. Yet, the elected leaders of these...
The short answer is: you run Montgomery. If you own a business, earn a paycheck, or simply live in a city, chances are there’s an association or trade group working on your behalf in Montgomery. From the smallest retail shop to the largest global corporations, everyone has someone watching their back — including counties, cities, and school boards. In fact, 95% of what happens in Montgomery — whether it’s passing legislation or approving budgets — involves these groups. Associations ensure th...
What we have seen on display in California this week is complete anarchy—and a total embarrassment. It’s un-American, unpatriotic, and is rooted in Marxism. But we shouldn’t be surprised. The Democrat party has been taken over by radical leftists who hate this country and want to destroy our way of life. They want to see America fail, and this week’s riots in Los Angeles, along with other blue cities like New York and Chicago, are just the latest example of their plans to destroy this country...
