We must be alert to possible encroachments on our constitutional liberties, even if those encroachments come from the Trump administration.
It is the height of folly for a Republican governor to be at war with Alabama’s veterans.
Our new president is not known for humility, but possibly that’s because he doesn’t hide his pride as well as some do. Sometimes, what passes for humility is just well-disguised pride.
Sometimes Trump’s opening salvo is just a first step toward getting what he really wants. Perhaps his intent is not to send troops to Panama but rather to gain concessions that will give the United States firm assurance that a Chinese coup in Panama isn’t going to happen.
Even with Trump’s noteworthy “art of the deal,” U.S. ownership of Greenland will be difficult to accomplish. But the doors are open for further cooperation in trade and defense.
There’s a good possibility gambling will be back when the 2025 legislative session opens in February.
Readers, you don’t trust CNN for your news. Why would you trust CNN with your children?
Christmas carols – at least, the best of them – are more than just sweet words and catchy melodies. They tell a story, which is why they often contain many verses.
When my wife Marlene wanted to see the movie, “The Best Christmas Pageant Ever,” I willingly joined her. I’d read the 1972 book by Barbara Robinson long ago, and I’d seen it presented as a play.
Communism’s hostility toward Christianity is not shocking because Marxism is atheistic to its core. As the most visible celebration of Christianity, Communist efforts to suppress Christmas are also not surprising.
Communism remains a threat, and few children in our schools even understand the evil of this ideology.
The current Louisiana 10 Commandments battle recalls the 2004 Alabama 10 Commandments battle and the 1980 Kentucky 10 Commandments battle.
The 2024 election held many positives for conservatives, but there is great cause for concern as state referenda on ballot measures relating to the sanctity of life generally favored the pro-abortion cause.
So should I write a column rejoicing in victory, or mourning in defeat? Perhaps I can best offer some words of wisdom that apply in either event: A battle has been won/lost, but the war goes on.
What kind of government do we have in Alabama – a constitutional republic in which even the governor is under the law, or an all-powerful state in which the governor is above the law?
The crisis of the Constitution, in process for a long time, has entered a new and intensified stage.
Should Columbus Day be celebrated or mourned? Ultimately, your worldview will determine your answer to this question.
Alabama veterans need Davis as their commissioner of the Department of Veterans Affairs. I urge him to rescind his resignation.
Separation of church and state does not mean separation of government from God, separation of biblical principles from law, or separation of believers from the political process.
It is impossible to do justice without knowing the truth.
The family is the most basic of all divine institutions, and the church and the state relate to the individual through the family.
Property is an extension of the person; we use property for self-expression, for creativity and for productivity. And property in the hands of private individuals is a bulwark against tyranny. If the government owns all property, it makes resistance nearly impossible.
What’s wrong with murder? It destroys a person who was created in the image of God and is therefore of infinite value.
When we display the 10 Commandments in schoolhouses or courthouses or public parks, leave them unnumbered and let them speak for themselves. This won’t satisfy the critics, but it will leave them with one less leg to stand on.
We call the 10 Commandments the moral foundation of law because they summarize the basic principles upon which Western law is built.
Congress could amend Title IX, but they have not done so. The Biden administration effectively amended Title IX by adding what Congress in 1972 did not enact and did not intend. In so doing, the Biden administration exceeded its powers under the Constitution, usurping the powers of Congress.
We all must recognize that every constitutional decision has ramifications for generations to come, for those in power from the left or the right, affecting issues we may not have dreamed of at the time.
