School Lunch Tray Alabama News
Phil Williams: No free lunch

In a recent interview, RFK discussed changes to school lunches. He strikes me as a guy who will thread that needle between what kids need and what they want. RFK seems to know that fitness and good health are found in a mix of have-to and want-to.

Phil Williams: If it were easy, everyone would do it

Stories are not told in reverent tones of those who sat idly by. History will look back on this time and take note if we squander this victory by staying comfortable.

Phil Williams: The Alabama Legislature has the wind at its back

Have they read the room? Do they see the national mandate for a restoration of values? Are they aware of the strength of their position? The Republican supermajority in Alabama can pass anything they want.

Phil Williams: Dawn of the golden age

The inaugural events in D.C. were different. We wanted to be there. Like so many thousands of others, to just be in the nation’s capital and watch history unfold in person seemed important.

Phil Williams: Love for the boots on the ground

Hegseth said his focus would be on individual soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines serving under him. It was a breath of fresh air. Young men and women who volunteer to go to hard places and do hard things while serving in uniform deserve a leader that has their backs.

Phil Williams: What did you do with the children?

One of the greatest forms of stewardship that any culture can be measured against is found in the simple question: “What did you do with the children?”

Phil Williams: Presidential participation trophies

In days past the Presidential Citizens Medal was given sparingly with case-by-case review. This week’s activity has Joe Biden handing out tranches of 20 at a time.

Phil Williams: Panama Canal – U.S. Vision

Donald Trump recently raised eyebrows with a classic “mean tweet” by suggesting the U.S. should consider reclaiming the Panama Canal. You might wonder what all the fuss is about.

Phil Williams: America is back

For too many years, we’ve lost the joy, wrapped in the clutter of serious life with the inability to remember who we really are as a nation. It’s as if America forgot itself.

Sometimes bad shopping is a sign of big blessing.

Alabama political news trial Alabama News
Phil Williams: Good Samaritans on trial

The left sees accountability as a byword, an archaic symbol of something that common folk expect but elitists avoid. Unless of course you are a good guy standing up for your right to live in a peaceable world.

Phil Williams: To our neighbor's aid

Securing our borders is a core principle of good governance. It is a key portion of providing for the common defense, supporting the general welfare, and ensuring domestic tranquility. Without a border you have to question whether we really have a nation.

Inflation Alabama News
Phil Williams: Blue state policies = Green New Steal

Every Alabamian has suffered the effects of high inflation thanks to the Biden administration’s failed green energy policies. But changes are coming with the new administration and Alabama leadership is poised for greater success than our blue-state neighbors.

Alabama political news Mark Air Alabama News
Phil Williams: Endless jackassery

MarkAir was a failed airline because it punished its passengers for daring to buy a ticket on their flights. The progressive left just lost the election because at every turn they seemed determined to punish the American people for simply being … American.

Phil Williams: Very pretty ... but can they fight?

This election was a complete repudiation of the liberal progressive agenda. So, bask in the moment, because now the real fight begins.

Phil Williams: Faith AND politics

Faith and politics go together like a hand in a glove. Get up Christians. Get busy, and go to the polls and vote your faith. Vote like your faith depends on it.

When you command the terrain you make the enemy fight where, when and how you choose.

Phil Williams: Push back against the purge

The great woke purge of U.S. history continues. In a never-ending series of virtue signals the left erases the past with zealous fervor. 

Alabama political news superman Alabama News
Phil Williams: Standing with Superman for truth, justice and the American way

Which messaging do you prefer? The one that uses “make America great again” like an insult? Or the one who says, “Make America great again,” meaning making, keeping and preserving the greatness of our nation? 

Migrants Alabama News
Phil Williams: Forced benevolence

We must restore order so we can continue to be a blessing to others. We cannot be forced into benevolence. That’s not how this works.

Alabama political news berlin airlift Alabama News
Phil Williams: The Communist States of America

Communism stifles joy, crushes the human spirit, and abolishes benevolence. You are happy when the state tells you to be happy, you must think like the collective, and there is no reason to give unto others because the state will do that for you.
