Befuddled Biden is helpless to do anything about it. Let us dive into the phenomenal success of President Trump’s latest fundraising event in San Francisco, hosted by venture capitalists David Sacks and Chamath Palihapitiya. This was no ordinary event—this was a powerhouse gathering that brought in a staggering $12 million, far exceeding the initial goal of $5 million. Held in the exclusive Pacific Heights neighborhood, the event saw tickets selling for $50,000 per person, with a premium tie...
President Joe Biden has retreated to Camp David for an entire week of debate preparation. It’s another glaring example of his neglect of duties as President of the United States. Instead of leading the country, Biden is in isolation with his campaign staff. This escapade at “Debate Camp” led by his former Chief of Staff Ron Klain, highlights the stark contrast between Biden’s hands-off approach and Trump’s relentless schedule leading up to the debate. Biden’s decision to spend seven days at Cam...

The path we are currently on is one of rampant government overreach, economic stagnation, and a disturbing erosion of our constitutional freedoms. The radical left’s agenda is pushing us further away from the foundational principles that made America great. We cannot stand idly by as our nation is led astray by those who prioritize political correctness over common sense, and special interests over the needs of hardworking Americans. It is imperative that we change course now, restoring the v...
Picture this: You have tens of thousands of Trump supporters, many waiting for days, gathering in deep blue Wildwood, New Jersey, for a rally after Trump is forced to waste an entire week in a show trial. Despite facing a staggering 91 felony counts and enduring non-stop negative media coverage, Trump is more popular than ever. Americans have awakened to the reality that these charges against Trump are nothing more than lawfare-a politically motivated weaponization of the justice system...
James Carville’s famous adage, “It’s the economy, stupid” has never been more relevant than today, a truth Biden has completely ignored. Instead of addressing the pressing economic concerns of the American taxpayer, Biden has chosen to pander to the leftist agenda, leaving hardworking citizens to shoulder the burden of his misguided policies. Over the past four years, the cost of living has skyrocketed. From the price of eggs to gasoline and rent, inflation is squeezing American families the mos...
Amidst the troubling rise of anti-Semitic protests and near-riots sweeping across our nation’s college campuses including cancellation of graduation ceremonies by the University of Southern California because of fear of violence, the University of Florida (UF) has emerged not just as a bastion of higher learning but as a fortress of common sense and decency. The policies recently issued by UF in response to these disturbing events offer a blueprint that every university in America should a...

This isn't just about backing a friend but a leader who has always practiced what he preached; it's about recognizing...
When the stakes are high and the dangers are real, America expects its President to stand firm, to assert power, not to whisper timidly. Yet, in what could only be described as the most limp-wristed attempt at deterrence in history by an American President, Joe Biden issued a one-word warning to a hostile Iran: “Don’t.” This single utterance was supposed to prevent retaliation against Israel following the airstrike that eliminated an Iranian general. Predictably, it failed spectacularly. Late...
There’s an inspiring story of innovation taking place right here in Alabama. It is a story of personal responsibility, powered by the engines of free enterprise in a discipline that rarely sees fresh innovative ideas. At the center of this renaissance is ReentryCenters.com, an organization that has brilliantly harnessed the power of the marketplace to address one of America’s most persistent challenges: reintegrating former offenders into mainstream society as taxpaying citizens.

In the heart of Alabama, a crisis looms—a silent predator stealing the promise and potential of our youth. Fentanyl, a lethal synthetic opioid, is wreaking havoc across the nation, and Alabama is no exception. The time to act is now, and the Alabama Senate and sponsor Jay Hovey (R) Auburn have the ball in their court. They must pass House Bill 280, also known as the Price Hornsby Act, to protect our children from the deadly grasp of this drug. Representative Joe Lovvorn, inspired by the s...
As hard as it is for me to admit, it is time we talk seriously about the limits of freedom of speech. As a staunch defender of our First Amendment rights, even I cannot ignore the chaos unfolding across America. From the streets of Dearborn, Michigan to the streets of New York city they are protests that border on outright riots that are raging unchecked. On campuses of so-called elite schools like Columbia and Yale University to state schools including the University of Texas and Ohio State...
In the heart of downtown Montgomery, where the pulse of our state's political life beats the strongest, Theo Katechis offered more than just hot dogs; he served generous helpings of community and compassion. His passing on Wednesday leaves a void not just on historic Dexter Avenue, but in the hearts of all who knew him. The first time I walked into Chris' Hot Dogs, I was ten with my father then the Probate Judge of Montgomery. It was more than a meal; it was a lesson in the fabric of our communi...

If you are a non-believer and need proof that the Biden administration is engaged in what can only be described as a blatant, orchestrated witch hunt against Donald Trump, look no further than the recent revelations about the FBI’s staging of photographs of classified documents. This is not just political theater; it is an absolute travesty of justice. The story, as reported by Julie Kelley and others, unfolds like a poorly scripted play. The FBI, directed by those in the highest levels of t...

In the words of Ronald Reagan, “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.” Recently this poignant reminder echoed through the halls of Congress in light of President Joe Biden’s threats at the 2024 State of the Union address aimed at the Supreme Court and its decision in Dobbs v. Jackson. He threatened, “Women are not without electoral, electoral power — excuse me — electoral or political power. You’re about to realize just how much you’re right about that,” during h...

The Alabama legislature is currently considering expanding Medicaid. This has been a hot topic for debate since the enactment of the Affordable Care Act, better known as Obamacare in March of 2010. Currently various reports suggest that Medicaid expansion is needed for the continued viability of many of Alabama’s hospitals and health care providers and the health of Alabamians who rely on the program for their health care needs. While I applaud those who care for those with great need, we m...
