Now that our Department Of Government Efficiency is getting started, we must immediately work on its top priorities—to slash spending, save money, and more importantly, to release the people from the grip of bureaucracy—TO GET GOVERNMENT OUT OF THE WAY AND LEAVE PEOPLE ALONE. To do this, we must focus on the departments and programs we must eliminate first. Here is a short list: 1. The invasive and abusive 2. The counter-productive 3. The non-productive 4. The poor producers Obviously the top...
Without specifics about yourself I’ll make this answer generic in a personal and in a business sense. I presume you looked at your financial estate planning (401k, mutual funds, stocks and bonds, life insurance, etc) which is important as there may be some changes such as to an inherited IRA. Ask your investment professional. You should also think about your legal estate planning. After all you are a year older; you may have gotten married, had a new child, had a child reach the age of m...
It is no secret that Alabama’s Correctional system is a nightmare, especially when it comes to our disregard for civil and human rights of the incarcerated felons in our state prisons. That is why we have been under the wrath of the federal court system. A new mega prison is being currently constructed, which will help to comply with the federal mandates. What many Alabamians do not realize is how successful our Alabama Community College System (ACCS) has become over the last decade under the g...
In a brutal nine days in July 64 AD, 71% of Rome was burned to the ground. I have not been able to locate an exact death total but estimates are that hundreds of people died and thousands more were made homeless. Since then, it has been argued and debated about whether emperor Nero himself started the fire, had the city torched or even possibly it was the work of the Christian minority living in the city. Regardless, one iconic image is one of Nero paying the violin while Rome burns in the...
The media elites and globalist bureaucrats are at it again, crying about Trump's tariffs while ignoring the decades of economic warfare waged against the United States. China is flooding our markets with artificially cheap steel and electronics by sending them to Mexico and Canada to be exported to the US exploiting trade loopholes to undercut American industries and we have been sitting idly by. Let's be crystal clear: tariffs aren't just about trade; they're about national security,...
When Donald Trump took office as the 45th President of the United States, he inherited a country grappling with the consequences of decades of unfair trade practices, particularly from China. One of the hardest-hit industries was American cabinetry, a bedrock of American craftsmanship and manufacturing. The flood of cheap, dumped, and government-subsidized Chinese imports were putting thousands of hardworking Americans out of jobs and permanently crippling the domestic market. But America had a...
February 10, 2025–No, I didn’t watch the Superbowl yesterday. I was busy doing other things. Braiding my nose hair, polishing my spork collection, stuff like that. I don’t pay much attention to pro football. If it’s not SEC, I don’t much care, and since we Auburn faithful had very little to care about this last season…. Oh, well, even MeeMaw Ivey realizes that we’re a basketball state now. Back to the StuporBowl—I’ve been peripherally aware of the controversy around the questionable play...
America stands at a pivotal moment where strong leadership and decisive action are needed more than ever to secure our borders, protect our infrastructure, and address rising cyber and domestic security threats. The increasing flow of illegal migrants, growing cybersecurity vulnerabilities, and geopolitical tensions demand firm leadership at the helm of the Department of Homeland Security. Kristi Noem embodies the kind of fearless leadership that can restore order and efficiency to the...
February 3, 2025 - On May 17, 2021, the State of Alabama approved a medical cannabis bill that would allow patients with a qualified illness, upon recommendation from their doctor, receive medical cannabis. After a lengthy rule writing procedure, and an even lengthier application process, the State finally awarded cannabis licenses to dozens of qualified candidates. Then things went completely off the rails. Two and a half years later, the Alabama cannabis industry is mired in litigation. Not...
Alabama's own Anna Claire Howland, 21, has become the latest conservative icon, not just because of her beauty and grace, but because she represents a new generation of young, ambitious, and fiercely independent thinkers. This is evident in her and her conservative peers advocacy for free speech on college campuses, their defense of individual liberties, and their vocal support for pro-growth economic policies that empower young professionals. The aging Democratic elite and their media lapdogs...
February 7, 2025–If you asked the average American if they think these are good uses for their tax dollars, what would they say? Even better, ask the residents of Maui, or eastern North Carolina, or Pacific Palisades what they think about: -$969,821 for “development, democracy and innovation, inclusive development, hub programs, protecting the human rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and intersex individuals“ -$1,999,900 to strengthen trans-led organizations to deliver gender-a...
February 3, 2025–Yes, that's right, my friends! Fish farms will save us from the onrushing doom of anthropogenic climate change! At least that's what one group of researchers would like us to believe. Meanwhile, back in Realityville, we all know they won't. Even if human-caused climate change did exist, no amount of fish farming can possibly affect the global CO2 balance, no matter how much the climate scammers insist it's going to melt the polar caps any day now. That the fish and the ponds w...
Public servants and their sycophants in various forms of modern media often mourn passings of fellow kleptocrats, frequently spamming us with whitewashed "Pravda on the Plains" histories, apropos for this "Lee County Beat" article to address. Well paid political prostitute columnists, Matrix spin machine, Birmingham "Downtowner" cronies and politburo members will overwhelmingly shape the narrative most digested in Lee County. Many were saddened by recent news of former Auburn University Provost...
The Alabama Legislature are returning to the Statehouse this week for the 2025 regular session with a full agenda. This past month all of the headlines were from Washington DC, but there is plenty of hometown business to attend to right here in Alabama. Alabama lawmakers have rightly said they plan on making public safety one of their top priorities. Deservingly so considering how much violent crime rocked the state in 2024. Governor Kay Ivey herself has said this is her most important focus...
February 4, 2025–Governor Kay Ivey-Alabama's MeeMaw-took the stage, recognized a few people and groups, touted her accomplishments, laid out her priorities for the upcoming legislative session, then left thirty minutes after she started. And another State of the State Address went into the history books Tuesday night. Politicians and pastors take note-you could learn a lot about how to give a good speech or sermon from Kay. Let some kids and a couple of worthy adults stand and be recognized, s...
Veterans in Alabama have an opportunity. It is an opportunity to have a stronger voice and a seat at the table. It is an opportunity for every Alabama veteran, not just a few. These are a few key factors that stand out to my family and me about SB67, a bill in the legislature that would restructure the Alabama Department of Veterans Affairs (ADVA). For years, we have asked for the ADVA to have a true seat at the table when it comes to decisions regarding the veteran community of our state. Now,...
February 11, 2025–It’s been a week since the story of Politico receiving millions from the federal government broke, and people are still talking about it. In our 24 second news cycle, that’s remarkable. The exact numbers Politico received have varied, from $8 million to over $30 million from the government as a whole. Nosy thing that I am, I went to USAspending.gov and did some poking around myself. In Fiscal Years 2021 through 2024, Politico received $31,619,832.04. The highest single quart...
February 12, 2025 - When Miss Alabama's Abbie Stockard was crowned Miss America on January 05th, 2025, it became immediately clear that with her peppy demeanor, all-American cheerleader style of look, and her bright smile, her year long tour as the new Miss America would take her to places near and far. Yet, Miss Stockard is very proud of her Southern roots. And, as such, the Miss Alabama Organization is hosting a homecoming celebration for Miss Stockard on Saturday, February 22nd, 2025. As the...
February 12, 2025 - WASHINGTON, D.C. - When I ran for Senate, I promised the people of Alabama that I would fight for them in Washington, D.C. Many Alabamians are enthusiastically pro-life and sent me to the Capitol with a clear message: every life is worth fighting for. Shortly after the Supreme Court overturned the Dobbs vs. Jackson Women's Health Organization decision, the former Secretary of Defense issued a memo requiring taxpayers to pay for abortion-related travel for military service mem...
February 11, 2025 - WASHINGTON, D.C. - U.S. Senator Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) delivered a floor speech praising President Donald Trump's recent implementation of reciprocal tariffs to ensure fairness and bolster our national security. "I come to the floor today to talk to you about President Trump's tariffs. The media is in full meltdown. They're in a full meltdown mode after President Trump imposed duties and retaliatory tariffs this week on countries that have basically been ripping the United...
February 12, 2025 - WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Katie Britt (R-Ala.) participated in a hearing of the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs where she spoke with Federal Reserve Chairman Jay Powell at his "Semiannual Monetary Policy Report to the Congress." Senator Britt began by remarking on President Trump's recent efforts, consistent with his campaign promises, to slash wasteful spending: "There's been a lot of conversation both in and out of this hearing room today . ....
February 15, 2025 - WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Katie Britt (R-Ala.) spoke on the floor of the Senate regarding the impact of social media on our nation's youth mental health crisis and her bipartisan legislation, the Kids Off Social Media Act, to address this epidemic. "The Kids of Social Media Act would also prevent platforms from feeding targeted content picked by an algorithm to users under the age of 17," said Senator Britt. "For anyone who's curious about why that's in the bill, all y...
February 17, 2025–President Trump has signed an Executive Order (EO) designed to end COVID “vaccine” mandates in schools and universities. The Order, “Keeping Education Accessible and Ending COVID-19 Vaccine Mandates in Schools,” was signed February 14, 2025. “That solves that problem,” the President said at the signing. Here’s the kicker: “It is the policy of my Administration that discretionary Federal funds should not be used to directly or indirectly support or subsidize an educational se...
I got tired of the government's and media's constant lies so I started writing truth. Thank God we have "The Alabama Gazette" as "The Alabama Gazette" is the only publication in Alabama willing to print the truth. Everyone is elated that Elon Musk is finally doing all the things that a normal rational mind would consider a no-brainer but, is he really? Elon is auditing USAID and doing a fantastic job, but is USAID is the problem? If Elon were making a sincere effort to help America, then Elon...
February 19, 2025– Governor Ivey’s FY 2026 General Fund budget is making its way through the Legislature. At just over $3.7 billion, it’s some $340 million more than last year, and the largest budget she’s ever sent across the street. There are winners and losers, as there always are, but at a glance it seems pretty reasonable. The budget even contains some $40 million in Corrections Capital Improvement Funds IF certain “conditions” are met. No, I don’t know what the “conditions...
