Have you ever said this to yourself? I feel like that what I do is insignificant and maybe even pointless. I'm not even sure anybody notices anymore or even cares about me. My friend, may I encourage you? There's a story in the Bible in the book of John chapter 6 about Jesus feeding thousands of people, but there's a part nobody talks about. The story goes that a boy brought 2 fish and 5 loaves of bread in his lunch. I like to think he was packing Star Wars lunchbox because a friend of mine in...
It seems that humans have an inherent tendency to strive to portray themselves as something other than who they truly are. Whether it's Individuals from humble backgrounds pretending to be royalty or politicians attempting to connect with the public, there exists a strong desire within us to belong. However, on occasion, these efforts can result in comical mishaps that SNL affectionately showcases. Imagine John Kerry coming out of the woods with a shotgun to bond with hunters, only to see...
With just some four weeks to the big election day, we are going to hear more about the integrity of the election results on November 5th. Following the 2020 elections, there were a lot of questions around the Nation about potential voter fraud, including right here in Alabama . Alabama Secretary of State Wes Allen is doing his part to stop any efforts to commit fraud at the ballot box. Allen has also aggressively worked to make sure only Alabama citizens can vote by working to remove names off...
October 15, 2024 - I vaguely recall Walter Mondale’s unpopular choice to join him on the 1984 Democratic ticket. At the time, I did not comprehend the reason why the electorate held so much disdain for New York Representative Geraldine Ferraro. I do, though, remember picking up the vibe that a female seeking the vice presidency was taboo, but at seven, a kid doesn’t understand that. I have learned a lot since then. Geraldine Ferraro is known as a trailblazer for female politicians. Let us not...
October 18, 2024–If you’ve been following The Gazette recently, you’re aware that there were reports made on X (formerly Twitter) of allegations of sexual abuse made by underage boys against Democratic Vice Presidential nominee and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. Operative word: WERE. They’re all gone now. As of late Thursday, the video of the supposed accuser that was posted Wednesday had been deleted from the posting account, @TheWakening. The video had been shared by @Carlos_Turcios, and thi...
Kamala Harris’s campaign is in free fall. Gaffes and poor performances plague her. Unpopular policies abound. Trump gains ground as time runs out. Her presidential dreams slip away. Voters aren’t buying what she’s selling. Her message, once thought to be clear and concise, now falls flat. Voters are increasingly skeptical of her proposed policies, and her attempts to explain them only worsen things. The enthusiasm that once surrounded her candidacy has given way to doubts and questions. Her a...
Alabama native, Ezra Richardson, debuts as an actor in "Average Joe", a PG-13 rated movie now showing in movie theaters across the country. Richardson, a Birmingham native, realistically portrays the young rebellious, pugnacious, skipping school to play pool, troubled main protagonist of the motion picture, Joe Anthony Kennedy. Based on a true story, "Average Joe", relates the story of Coach Joe Kennedy, who after being given up for adoption as a child, seems destined to go through life as a reb...
October 18, 2024, The Kamala Harris campaign has reached its breaking point—all thanks to an interview that could be remembered as the moment the wheels came off. Wednesday night’s extended grilling by Bret Baier on Fox News wasn’t just a tough interview; it was a brutal exposure of the gaping flaws in Harris’s candidacy, flaws so glaring they may have driven the final nail into the coffin of her campaign. For the undecided voters, it was painfully clear: she had little to offer beyond stale t...
October 21, 2024–Accusations of sexual abuse of underage men by Democratic Vice Presidential nominee and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz have been debunked and removed from the web. These accusations first came to light on Saturday, October 12th in a post by @DocNetyoutube on X (formerly known as Twitter). This continued on Wednesday the 16th when a video of an alleged accuser was released by @TheWakening. A number of people, including citizen journalist Ian Carroll (@cancelcloco) and I took t...
October 22, 2024 - Recently, the Alabama Department of Public Health (ADPH) sent out a press release that started with this: “The Alabama Department of Public Health, the Alabama Hospital Association, and the Medical Association of the State of Alabama are encouraging Alabamians to ask their physician about the flu shot and other vaccines as a part of a statewide Ask Your Doctor campaign. Helpful information and additional resources can be found at https://www.alabamapubliche...
From day one, the Biden-Harris administration has focused more on spinning fairy tales than confronting reality. The recent stealth revision of the FBI's violent crime statistics for 2022 is a prime example of their dishonesty. They have been lying for years about crime dropping, and the media obediently repeated it. But the actual numbers, quietly updated with no press release or explanation, reveal a 4.5% increase in violent crime—not a decrease. This isn't just incompetence; it's a d...
Why was I never taught about virtues in school?" Having virtues is the single biggest indicator to having a successful life yet we don't teach them, why? Virtues change destinies. The single most important thing we can teach the next generation are virtues. Ben Franklin was one of the most successful and influential men of the last three hundred years. Why was he so successful? Because he taught himself virtues. When Franklin was a young man he designed a program to teach himself the virtues...
As the 2024 general election is approaching, I have been asked these three questions about the elections process, and I thought I would share them with you. 1. What about the coming election keeps you up at night? I remember getting this question when I served as Alabama's Secretary of State and the 2020 election was approaching. Someone asked me what concerned me or kept me up at night, and my response at that time was "absolutely nothing." The reason for my response is that the day to begin...
Tomorrow, Thursday, October 24th, 2024, the Head Coach of the Alabama Crimson Tide football team, Kalen DeBoer, turns fifty years of age. Coach DeBoer follows in the footsteps of Coach Nick Saban as Head Coach of The University of Alabama's football team. And, given that Nick Saban was 72 years of age when he retired from his position as Head Coach, it is possible that the landmark age of 50 for Coach DeBoer only heralds many more years of ahead of him as an esteemed college football coach....
"The Star-Spangled Banner," our National Anthem, celebrated its 210 th Anniversary on September 14, 2024. As I reflect on our National Anthem and its longevity, I feel compelled to share a few thoughts about its history and why continued reverence for the anthem is especially important to me and to our society. In recent years, some have begun to ask, "Why this anthem?" Moreover, I have noticed that many young people in Alabama do not fully know and understand the history of the anthem. The...
A shell of his former self, the 2024 Joe Biden and the Joe Biden of 2012 bear little resemblance. Nor is he the man of four years ago. Democratic officials, fearful of an electoral disaster losing not only the White House but both houses of Congress, took the “keys from the old man” in July due to his vast mental deterioration. Or did Biden slip as much as Democrats think? https://www.tobsal.com/post/no-reset-button-christopher-m-peeks *Biden’s Original Plan* Joe Biden fulfilled his dream in 20...
October 30, 2024: - America will elect its 47th President next week. At least 99% of the votes will be cast by American citizens. With millions of illegal immigrants having poured through our country’s southern border over the past four years, there will be some illegal ballots cast by non-citizens. The opening of the border by the Democratic administration was permitted to allow these illegal immigrants to vote Democratic. Fortunately, most of these illegal votes will be cast in California, b...
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.
