A Tranquil Path to the Presidency October 26, 2024 - No candidate in American political history received a more tranquil path to Pennsylvania Avenue than Vice President Kamala Harris. Her, me, and those of you reading this have one thing in common. In the last two presidential elections, we got the same number of votes in the Democratic primaries: zero. Despite no mandate from the electorate, she is promoted by the party hierarchy. *The Unearned Advantage* https://www.tobsal....
As we approach the coming election, it is imperative for every Christian, along with our Jewish brethren, to take a principled stance. We are not simply casting a vote; we are making a statement about who we are, our values, and the future we desire for our children, grandchildren, and our nation. The upcoming election is not merely a political battle; it is a moral and spiritual struggle for the heart and soul of America. It is time for us to step forward in defense of the Judeo-Christian...
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 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...
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. With Durant using his home-built, cloud-computing-based, $2 million dollar GPU-boosted supercomputer, on October 11th, 2024, he discovered the largest known prime number, ever. Known as M136279841, Durant's...
October 28, 2024 - MOBILE - HOLMES BLASTS MOORE: “IS HE FOSTERING A SPIRIT OF INSURRECTION?”_ https://www.tobsal.com/post/holmes-bizzare-weird-moore-house-district-1 Tom Holmes, the Democratic Nominee for the United States House of Representatives in Alabama, Congressional District 1 calls out Republican Congressman Barry Moore for his comment about not accepting the election results if former president Donald J. Trump loses the 2024 campaign to Vice President Kamala Harris on November 5th inqui...
October 30, 2024–Tuesday evening Kamala Harris took to the stage and delivered possibly the best speech of her entire career. It was well-written, fairly well-delivered (kudos to the teleprompter operator!) and it began with the following words: “One week from today, you will have the chance to make a decision that directly impacts your life, the life of your family, and the future of this country we love. And, it will probably be the most important vote you ever cast. And, this election is mor...
When Adolf Hitler first came into power in 1933, he promised his people a glorious, 1,000-year Reich where they would rule the world. On 8 May 1945, that delusional dream became just that - - only a dream. Sir Arthur Travis Harris, (my personal WWII hero), also affectionately known as “Bomber Harris” by some and “Butcher” by others, took over the reigns of Royal Air Force (RAF) Bomber Command in February 1942. This highly single-minded and focused combat commander once wrote, “The Germans e...
October 31, 2024–First we were bitter clingers and deplorables. Then we were threats to democracy. Then we were fascists and Nazis, and our leader was (and is) literally Hitler. And Barry Soetoro lamented, "I don't understand how we got so toxic, so divided, so bitter." Try looking in a mirror, Barry. Tuesday night Barry’s protégé and sock puppet-in-waiting Kamala Harris gave the most important speech of her political life…and his former underling and current sock puppet called 100+ million Amer...
October 31, 2024 – the general election is upon us and the Alabama Gazette is urging Alabamians of all political views to make their voices heard and get out and vote on November 5. Whatever your political beliefs, we ask that you prayerfully and carefully consider your ballot as what you decide will impact America for generations to come. The staff and publishers at the Alabama Gazette have carefully considered all the candidates and these are the races where we are comfortable with making e...
On November 5th, we stand at a pivotal crossroads in our nation's history, a moment will decide the future of our country for generations to come. The stakes have never been higher, and our choice could not be clearer: We must elect a Congress that will support the Trump America First agenda. We must elect Caroleene Dobson and stop the progressive march in its tracks. This is not just another election; it is an existential battle for the soul of our Republic. Caroleene Dobson was born and...
For a communist country, it was strange to have an unsanctioned gathering of a million people, but 40 years ago in Poland, the funeral of a simple parish priest brought the nation to a halt to pay their last respects. Father Jerzy Popiełuszko was not known as a great scholar or a powerful intellectual. In fact, he barely made the grades to graduate from seminary, but Popiełuszko was a man of the people, and he spoke to them in unadorned, persuasive sermons, chiseling a significant crack in P...
November 4, 2024–There are moments when something happens that, at the time, doesn’t seem all that important. A few shots are fired at a bridge in Concord. A fort outside Charleston surrenders. A prison is stormed in Paris. An old guy is shot in Sarajevo. One thing leads to another. People take note, and emotions rise. Later on, we look back and say “THAT was when it all began!” Last Friday, a squirrel died in New York. Peanut, aka P’nut, was the most famous squirrel on the internet...
Well, maybe that’s an exaggeration. I learned a lot teaching and practicing law, but my law student experience consisted mostly of left-wing theories I’ve had to unlearn. But way back in the early 1950s, in Whittier Elementary School of Sioux City, Iowa, I sat in fourth grade under Miss Mildred Terhune, the strictest and best teacher I ever endured. When she wasn’t disciplining me for whatever mischief I could concoct, she taught me the Bible (this was before Abington Township v. Schempp of 19...
This is a true story. On February 12, 2019, at the UPS hub in Fulton County, Georgia, a UPS semi was leaving via a three lane exit that curved to the right. The driver decided to stop there for a while in the right lane to update his log or whatever, straddling the center lane line and thus blocking the right lane plus half of the center lane. Another semi from I-Ship (not real name) was right behind him and steered to the far left side of the left lane to get around the UPS truck. In spite of...
Yes, that is correct. It is however conditioned on certain criteria and in my view will cause some changes in estate planning and in debt collection by creditors. Whenever an estate is opened in an Alabama probate court, the named personal representative whether appointed for a testate (having a Will), intestate (no Will) estate or the person initiating the settlement of a Small Estate (with or without a Will where the probate assets are limited by law), must file a specific document with Alabam...
In 2022, an invented controversy arose concerning the word Dixie. Individuals supposedly associated with the University of Alabama felt the word did not belong in the UA Fight Song. Dixie, the traditional name for the South, appeared to be fine in the typically raucous Dixieland Delight. As I referenced in a previous article (August 2020), the word Dixie is generally thought to have originated from the French word “dix,” which referenced a $10 bank note. It morphed into the land of Dixies. For...
Remember that old Three Dog Night hit, “Joy to the World”? You know, the one with the ridiculous lyrics about a bullfrog named Jeremiah? It’s a catchy tune, but let’s be honest, the lyrics are complete nonsense. It’s hard to believe that song became a hit, but hey, it was the 70s, a time when people were looking for anything to take their minds off the mess that the country was in brought on by Jimmy Carter’s economic policies. Fast forward to today, and we’re seeing a similar kind of nonsense b...
There is one thing I think I have been able to do fairly well since I first started writing these Robservations for the Gazette in 2015. 174 columns later, this is probably my first or maybe second “rant.” But this political season has me shaking my head and realizing as usual that stressing over things I cannot control is counter-productive and that in the end, my source is God and God alone. Nevertheless, we all live in this fallen world and I still find myself looking at the enemy bec...
Over the years it has occurred to me that the real governing in our state, and more than likely in every state for that matter, is done by the mayors. We have a reservoir of the best people in our state who are mayors. The mayor of a city is the chief cook and bottle washer. Most Alabamians view their mayor as their best friend in the political world. They know their mayor. They have either watched him grow up or, if the mayor is older, the mayor has coached them in little league baseball or...
You want to know the incredible thing about God? Not only does He say that He will deliver us from the hands of our enemies when we are going through a trial, but He will do so and take the riches of our enemies and give them to us. If you're going through a trial right now, you need to hear this message. This comes from Exodus chapter 3. This is where God talks about how He Is going to deliver the Israelites from the hands of the Egyptians…where they've been in slavery for hundreds of years. T...
Last month’s column closed with ‘money mill parasites’ driving our political outcomes. When the Republican Party told Trump they wouldn’t pay his mounting legal bills (remember, DJT is a big government modern Democrat, currently ‘donning’ the Red jersey who donated to fellow soviets like Kamala Harris) he made overtures to the Libertarian Party. Money mill parasites don’t care how donations are spent, or the outcome as long as they get their cut. Donations with the Biden crime family at the top...
On July 16, 2024 a would-be presidential assassin grazed former President Donald J. Trump with a shot fired from a long rifle. Sadly, there is a long history of guns being used in political violence and terrorism. The new element was that the shooter scouted the whole scene hours earlier with a drone to analyze defenses, the terrain, and pick his location. What if he had used an armed drone to launch his attack? In the war in Ukraine both sides are using drones to kill people, trucks, artillery...
