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...
As Russell B. Laine, the Chief of Police of Algonquin, Illinois and the President of the International Association of the Chiefs of Police has stated, "Without community support, law enforcement agencies cannot succeed." And as part of the effort to connect with the local community and build support, one of the services that various police departments in Alabama offer is the very informative and insightful Citizens Academy. A four to eight weeks long course, depending upon the resources of the...
In today's media landscape, liberal commentators like Roland Martin, Dan Wolken, and others have increasingly pressured athletes, particularly Black student-athletes, to conform to a specific political agenda and condemned their coaches who disagree. This plantation-style mentality assumes that all Black Americans should align with a singular viewpoint, in this case, unwavering support for Kamala Harris. It is an inherently condescending stance that strips these individuals of their agency and d...
One of the major issues in this year’s presidential election has been the increase in grocery prices. Actually, over the past three and a half years, the price of food has gone up by some 22 percent. Thus, everyone is paying attention to how much they spend to put dinner on the table for their families. Alabama leaders made an effort two years ago to help consumers' wallets and pocketbooks by reducing the grocery tax by 1 percent on September 1, 2023. A second 1 percent was to be reduced this S...
The Congressional Progressive Caucus, huge supporters of Shomari Figures, has just put forth an agenda so radical that it threatens to dismantle the very essence of our nation. Under the guise of progress and reform, this agenda seeks to impose a sweeping, government-controlled overhaul of healthcare, housing, and Financial Institutions. It aims to redistribute wealth on an unprecedented scale, undermining the principles of free enterprise and individual liberty that have defined America for...
When we follow natural law - we are obeying God. Just let that settle in and be at peace for a few moments free breathing. God has even given you His name in a format that describes “wind”, “breath” or a “7 fold Spirit” which is how we experience the Holy Spirit. Do you have the peace of living a 7 fold virtuous life - at least by being aware of the proactive expectations? Point being - to gain peace that our lives are “short-lived” but when you honor natural law it is an investment in t...
(September 4, 2024) Want a Get Out Of Jail Free card? All you have to do is move to a sanctuary city and tell the cops you’re an illegal! “Because we’re a sanctuary city. I’ve arrested a double homicide suspect in this city before and let him walk out the door because we’re in a sanctuary city. We’re not going to call ICE to come pick up and deport him.” The above quote comes from a video that blew up the internet this weekend, and was made by a cop speaking to a man who was trying to rep...
(September 11, 2024) The Harris/Trump debate was painful to watch, but I did. If you didn’t, count yourself lucky. I’d have to call it a draw. But, considering it was 3:1 Harris & the moderators against Trump, I’d say Trump did pretty well. It was blatantly obvious from the outset that the moderators were actively helping Harris and attacking Trump. They were fact-checking Trump in real time while letting Harris’ plethora of lies pass unremarked, among other things. Naturally, social media w...
