Upside Down World Alabama News
Joey Clark: An upside down world is nothing new to men of the West

Look outside your window at the topsy-turvy wide world, and I swear you’ll see waterfalls flowing upwards. The question in such an upside-down world is: Will you go with the backwards flow or set out to restore the world to its proper place?

Steven Reed Alabama News
Joey Clark: Old Montgomery is dead, let it rest in peace

If new Montgomery is to rise – and as a native son, I hope it rises to become the envy of the world – continuing to blame the sordid past for the lackluster present is a death knell for the future.  

Montgomery Mayor Steven Reed Alabama News

Steven Reed Alabama News

Tuberville Alabama News
Joey Clark: Name-calling won’t cut through Tommy Tuberville’s unprecedented thick skin

In the midst of all the sound and fury of post-persuasion America, he with the thickest skin usually wins — and on this issue Sen. Tuberville seems to have the thickest of them all.  

2024 Candidates Alabama News
Joey Clark: Party unity is overrated, liberty breathes with division

Liberty blossoms when power is set against power, ambition seeks to check ambition, and ideas are measured and weighed in the tumult and hullabaloo of our public political dramas.  

Sound of Freedom Alabama News
Joey Clark: 'Sound of Freedom' is a must-see movie

“Sound of Freedom” isn’t a masterpiece, but it is a well-crafted clarion call to awareness and action in the face of the horrors of human trafficking in the 21st century.  

Fireworks Alabama News
Joey Clark: Sacred and undeniable self evidence

As we prepare for our annual July 4th festivities, basking in the warm glow of fireworks that light the night sky, let us take a moment to reflect on the light of America’s most explosive and emblematic document, the Declaration of Independence. 

Whitewater rafting Alabama News
Joey Clark: Sad! Montgomery Whitewater accused of $4 million worth of racism

When the public treasury becomes a public trough, it’s not only voters who desire a bigger and bigger piece of the pie. Big special interests want to have their cake while they eat it too.  

RFK Alabama News
Joey Clark: Why RFK Jr. has caught my eye

The establishment has already started their preemptive strikes against a certain Democratic candidate for the presidency – Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. (RFK Jr.) – labeling him a kooky conspiracy theorist.

Donald Trump 3 Alabama News
Joey Clark: The law of the land beyond the Constitution

In the eyes of the ruling elite, Donald Trump's original sin is that he dared to think that he was actually in charge of the executive branch.

Joey Clark: Betraying liberty’s creed by political deed

The lust to dominate, the libido dominandi, does not discriminate between left or right, Christian conservative or secular progressive. It infiltrates all.

Mule Alabama News
Joey Clark: Some mules are bigger than others

Though Alabama’s “big mules” have changed over the last century, they still hold outsized influence over who's doing the pulling and who’s doing the eating in the Heart of Dixie.

AL State House 2 Ashley Carter Alabama News
Joey Clark: Blame it on the mold

If the lackluster decision-making prowess and hampered cognitive ability of legislators can be shown as a side-effect of mold exposure in the current Alabama State House, not only would it be a major breakthrough for medical science, it would prove crucial to explaining Alabama’s sorry political situation.

Dr. Seuss Alabama News
Joey Clark: Banishing cynicism with the innocence of a child
