We are witnessing a significant shift in the leadership of the United States Senate, and I can confidently say that we are in great hands. John Thune, who took over as Senate Majority Leader, was the right man to lead our conservative charge at the right time. I also want to take a moment to honor both his remarkable journey and the monumental contributions of his predecessor, Mitch McConnell. First, let us remember how John Thune burst onto the national scene with that stunning upset of Tom...
You reap what you sow, and nowhere is that more apparent than in Donald Trump's new Washington, D.C. For years, the swamp has done everything in its power to tear down President Trump, his allies, and his supporters. From endless investigations to biased media attacks, they've used every trick in the book to keep their stranglehold on power. Now, they're reaping the whirlwind they themselves have stirred. This is precisely how Donald Trump is making his picks to run the people's federal governme...
Only 6.2% of millennial households earn $200,000 or more nationwide. But from state to state, that percentage of high-earning millennials can range from one-third of that to almost double. This group has more discretionary economic power than their peers, and an outsized portion of them among a statewide population—or an apparent deficit—could impact many aspects of that local economy. With this in mind, SmartAsset ranked states by the percent of millennial households earning at least $20...
Investing in small businesses helps foster community resilience and promote local economic growth. And there are many ways to support small and local businesses this holiday season—without breaking the bank. According to the Chamber of Commerce, small businesses employ nearly half of the American workforce and contribute 43.5% of America's gross domestic product. When small companies prosper, they create jobs, encourage local innovation, and contribute to a neighborhood's unique character. E...

Last year, more than 49 million Americans hit the road for Thanksgiving. Unfortunately, according to the National Safety Council, it's one of the most dangerous driving holidays in the United States. Using data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, researchers at TruckInfo.net discovered a few worrying trends for Thanksgiving travelers. #1: Drunk Driving Is a Major Issue During Thanksgiving Despite Uber and Lyft helping to reduce alcohol-related traffic fatalities by 6.1...
November 18, 2024–It’s going to be a downer of an inauguration if DC is a glow-in-the-dark parking lot or radioactive swamp. That’s not likely, but with Joe Biden’s handlers pushing hard for World War III? It’s a definite possibility. Sunday, we found out that “President Biden” had authorized Ukraine to use US-made missiles to strike targets deep within Russia. This is a “major policy shift” (read: complete 180 degree turn) and would allow Zelensky’s losing military to further poke the Ru...
November 18, 2024 – BIRMINGHAM, AL – after two decades of business the McGregor family is finally selling the old Birmingham Racecourse. A company owned by the Poarch Band of Creek Indians (PCI) are purchasing the facility. The Birmingham Racecourse was originally built in the 1980s to host Thoroughbred racing. After that venture failed, the Thompson family sold it to the late Milton McGregor who owned a dog track in Macon County. McGregor reopened the failed racecourse as a dog track. Aft...

The average car loan term is 68.48 months for a new car and 67.41 months for a used car, or close to six years, according to Experian data. The average length of auto loans for new and used vehicles has remained fairly steady since last year, reflecting the continuing popularity of longer-term auto loans. While longer auto loans offer more affordable monthly payments, they can ultimately end up costing more in total interest than loans of 60 months or less. Average New Car Loan Term The latest...
I love the Alabama Gazette as it's been the "Voice of Reason" for the last 25 years and the only publication, in Alabama, that has been telling anything even close to the truth lately. After experiencing the last four years I believe that just about everyone realizes that the only reason a person would actually watch the national news/media is to study how psychological manipulation works on the general public. Elected officials, especially local ones, are supposed to be a bulwark against this...
Dr. Brad Klontz first heard about TikTok through his teen nephews. After they showed him some animal videos, he kept scrolling and watching more posts. Before long, the financial psychologist—who helps patients deal with money-related stress—stumbled across one user promoting day trading. "I was sort of blown away because I thought, erroneously, of course, that day trading died in the tech bubble when everybody lost all their money," says Klontz. "But there's an entire new generation of peo...
A prepaid business card is a type of debit card that requires funds to be preloaded onto the card before it can be used for business purchases.

Once the balance has been used up, more funds will need to be loaded onto the card to continue using it. How Do Prepaid Business Cards Work? A prepaid business card works just like a regular business credit or debit card. It can be used anywhere that a...

Today's best family cars blend safety, reliability, and affordability, but the choices can be overwhelming. To simplify your search, Edmunds studied the latest results of its testing program to determine today's best family cars. Every year, the Edmunds vehicle test team subjects around 200 cars to a rigorous battery of performance trials, from acceleration to braking to poking the buttons of infotainment systems. Each car then gets a rating, and only the top performers make the list. How...
Let's be honest, the best part about Thanksgiving is the side dishes. Unfortunately, that's also where the bulk of the calories are. Research shows that the average American eats at least 3,000 calories at Thanksgiving dinner. Depending on age and sex, the daily recommended intake ranges between 1,800 and 2,800 calories for an entire day. And while there's nothing wrong with indulging a bit on a holiday (everything in moderation!), navigating all the options can feel like a minefield for those...
November 16, 2024 – AUBURN, AL – the Auburn University football team performed up to expectations in their rout of the University of Louisiana at Monroe. The Tigers blew out ULM 14 to 48 at Jordan-Hare Stadium on Saturday. Senior Running back Jarquez Hunter was too much for ULM's defenders to handle. Hunter, one of the best running backs in the nation, rushed for 102 yards on just 14 carries. Hunter passed a thousand yards on the season. Hunter has 3,185 yards in his Auburn career with two gam...

November 19, 2024 - When Senator Tommy Tuberville was elected, the Biden-Woke agenda was implemented in all government facets. He targeted the Department of Defense, which did the most harm. Coach Tuberville comes from a family with strong military ties, including his father, whose stories about his service in World War II played a significant role in shaping Tuberville's values during his formative years. As a football coach, he often emphasized the importance of sacrifice and discipline,...
Biden, Hitler, Scorched Earth, Impeachment and WWIII November 20, 2024–The Biden Regime is trying to do to us what Hitler wanted done to Germany in 1945. It was officially called the “Decree Concerning Demolitions in the Reich Territory” and was signed by Adolf Hitler on March 19th, 1945. It said, in part: “It is a mistake to think that transport and communication facilities, industrial establishments and supply depots, which have not been destroyed, or have only been temporarily put out of...
Between a growing housing deficit and historic federal funding for infrastructure improvements, construction projects are arising across the nation. At the same time, there may not be enough qualified workers to move these projects forward.

Meanwhile, over 90% of general contractors who are hiring reported that they are struggling to fill positions, according to...
The average cost for a gallon of gasoline is roughly the same this week compared to last and down 12 cents from one month ago, according to AAA data. GasBuddy analyst Patrick De Haan is projecting that the national average could fall under $3 per gallon just in time for Thanksgiving travel, when 72% of Americans intend to road trip to their celebration destinations. Several factors could work against those projections, including escalating tensions between Russia and Ukraine and storms in the...
