October 27, 2024–Last week, Alabama’s own Drs. Jordan Vaughn and Stewart Tankersley talked about the origins of COVID and “The Pfizer Papers” on their regular podcast. The pair begin with several clips featuring ex-CDC Director Robert Redfield speaking with UNC-Chapel Hill about the Wuhan wet market vs Gain of Function (GoF) lab as the original source for the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Dr. Redfield repeated the multiple signs that the virus was engineered in a lab instead of jumping from bats to humans...
October 18th 2024 - During the course of my life, politics has changed, and not for the good. I guess that some of this development occurred due to the people involved. In today’s climate, people seeking higher office do so for self-interest instead of bettering people’s lives. I see this trend only continuing to worsen for future generations. *Growing Up in a Different Era* I grew up before computers and cell phones. Before Twitter and Facebook. Even before cable TV. I grew up when people sti...
As we stand on the precipice of this crucial election, Americans are looking for real solutions—answers that will pull us out of the quagmire of crises engulfing our nation. From skyrocketing inflation, energy insecurity, and a crumbling border to our cities ravaged by crime, it feels as if our country is crying out for competent leadership. What does Kamala Harris have to offer? Name-calling. Apparently, all she's got left in her closing pitch is calling Donald Trump a fascist and implying h...

October 26, 2024- TUSCALOOSA, AL.- The University of Alabama Crimson Tide got back in the win column with a 34 to 0 win over the Tigers of Missouri in week nine of the college football season. The Tide have not met the expectations of many this season, but they showed a determined effort against the #21 ranked tigers. The running game has been lacking for the majority of this campaign but there was an obvious emphasis Saturday on incorporating the ground game into the game plan. Coach Kalen...
October 28, 2024 - WASHINGTON, D.C.- One of the most important jobs Congress has is funding the government. There is a specific process for doing so, but Congress keeps missing the mark. I am committed to righting those wrongs. On the Senate floor last month, I stood up with Republican colleagues and again asked Senate Democrats to put the bipartisan committee-passed appropriations bills on the floor for consideration, starting with the Fiscal Year (FY25) Military Construction, Veterans...
We had this six-pointer on camera several times. However, he was not just any six. The sheds from last year measured 135 inches. My first evening I chose the wrong stand. He showed up at a different one. For the next few days, I hunted where he was last seen, every morning and evening. He still lives. And I really wanted him. Oh, sure I would have been happy to put an arrow through some other giant. But this guy was different. This guy had a different story. This guy made the most out of the...
One of the benefits of hunting is getting to see so many different animals and other things that one just doesn’t get to see otherwise. I have renamed one of my trail cameras, the zoo camera, because it always has pictures of so many different kinds of animals. On that one camera, within the last two months, I have pictures of deer, coyotes, bobcats, turkeys, raccoons, squirrels, and a bear. Not to mention the various birds. And not only do you get to see various creatures, but sometimes i...
October 28, 2024 - MONTGOMERY, AL - The Alabama Department of Public Health (ADPH) continues its investigation of possible rabies exposure to humans from a stray kitten. A litter of kittens had been abandoned on the campus of Tuskegee University. The kittens were subsequently taken to a veterinarian practice in Auburn where one of the kittens became ill and was tested for rabies. That one kitten tested positive for rabies, and three additional kittens tested negative for rabies. An individual...
One of my least favorite things to see when bow hunting is a bunch of doe that comes in within fifty yards of my stand. I know that eventually I’m going to get busted. If I’m looking to take a doe, I might get a shot off. But no matter what, if they stay there long enough, I’m going to be discovered. It doesn’t matter if I’m wearing a deer hide underneath the best camo, while elevated thirty feet in the air, that one lone momma deer is going to sniff me out and let every other deer in three cou...
October 27, 2024 – NEW YORK CITY, NY - former President Donald J. Trump spelled out why he thinks the American people should give him a second term in the Whitehouse during a nationally televised speech at Madison Square Garden, New York. President Trump denounced the Biden-Harris administration's immigration policies which have allowed ten million people into the country in less than four years and promised to reverse those policies and launch the largest deportation program in American h...

October 29, 2024 - TUSCALOOSA - Luke Durant, who is now thirty-six years of age, attended the Alabama School of Math and Science when he was a young student. And while he has been employed as an engineer by a software company known as NVIDIA, he has not forgotten his mathematical background.

For all its billion-dollar gyrations, the actual investment strategies behind a highly valued and hotly debated stock portfolio of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints appears to be a relatively staid affair. Analysis of the $54.7 billion stock fund managed by the faith's investment arm, Ensign Peak Advisors, shows money managers have carefully steered those huge holdings to closely mirror the investment mix of a leading stock index known as the S&P 500, which tracks the performance...
As the gig economy continues to evolve, more and more consumers depend on it not only for their own late-night cravings and weekly groceries, but also for at least some of their income. How gig workers, or independent contractors, are treated and even defined have become election issues at both the state and national levels in recent years, Experian reports. There's no easy way to get one's arms around the size of the gig economy. The Bureau of Labor Statistics, for example, has found that only...
One of the biggest challenges employers face is keeping their employees engaged and empowered to do their best. Over half of firms with fewer than 500 employees reported challenges in hiring or retaining qualified staff, according to the Fed Small Business' 2024 report on employer firms. Upskilling is one staff investment industry experts say can pay off in dividends for employers. Though it may sound like a trendy phrase, upskilling invests in employees' knowledge and skills for the long term,...
From former presidents and famous movie stars to accomplished engineers and lawyers, it is not uncommon for children to choose the same career as their parents. Even Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson followed in his father's footsteps as a professional wrestler after a stint in the Canadian Football League and a slew of injuries that cut short his path to football stardom. But does following in a parent's footsteps speak to the importance of parental influence and involvement, or the value of role...
