Across Alabama, public schools are being quietly transformed under the banner of mental health reform.

Eventually, a real wolf will show up at the door, and the tragedy will be that no one will believe them. They too carelessly and too callously called “wolf!” when none was there – all until people stopped telling the difference between honest men and hungry wolves.

Alabama has proven we know how to run elections the right way. What we need now is for Congress to give our local officials the consistency they deserve, the kind of reliable funding that keeps preparation from turning into reaction.

The state that once changed the nation’s moral direction can do so again – but only if it shakes off its guilty conscience and reclaims the moral confidence of its own history. Alabama doesn’t need to atone forever. It needs to lead. 

Non-public education is not fringe. It is a growing part of Alabama’s education landscape. Families who choose private schools, church schools, microschools, hybrid programs, or home education are not trying to avoid accountability. They are exercising liberty.

Since Congress rarely passes annual appropriations bills on time, maybe it’s time to outsource the job to AI. At least the algorithms meet their deadlines.

We have more power to change the world than we think.

Come 2026, this madness will reap its whirlwind. The Democratic National Party, already enfeebled, will splinter further, their progressive overlords exposed as the architects of irrelevance. Trump’s era has unmasked them – a cabal of complainers, shorn of media might, repelling the rational with rhetoric that's as freakish as it is futile.

Democrats are using hardworking Americans as political pawns in a desperate attempt to revive their leftist agenda that voters soundly rejected.

Similar to Marx, Gentile used the terms fascism and socialism interchangeably in the manifesto. If you take an hour or two to read the original “Manifesto of Fascist Intellectuals” and “The Doctrine of Fascism,” you’ll quickly conclude that references to Republicans being fascists are absurd.

This hoax isn't about saving polar bears, it's about control. Wrap it in green virtue-signaling, and suddenly you've got a blank check to strip away freedoms, reassign trillions in wealth, and remake society in the image of unelected bureaucrats.

Alabama parents need to wake up. We were promised opt-in protections – not workarounds, not footnotes, not policy tricks. And certainly not a counseling model that embeds ideology under the cover of state standards.

Jenny has managed to bottle something more than mere jelly. She’s captured a certain quality – call it care, call it craft – that has become increasingly rare in our expedient age.

Certainly, the world needs more gentleness, kindness and love. But sometimes force must be met with force. Sometimes God uses strong, even brutal men to fight brutality and accomplish His will.

Though it is difficult to deny Trump’s uncanny ability to rise from the political arena battered and bloodied, my guess is Trump’s ticket to heaven relies on whether he falls to the devil’s deal or accepts that there is no way, not even for TRUMP, to deal his way into Heaven.

Roe v. Wade is gone, but the killing hasn’t stopped.

Public discourse is only a conversation if it goes two ways. It is actually possible to have a solid, conservative, well-intentioned, cogent, thoughtful, authoritative voice without resorting to the crimes and crazy antics we see on the left. Those of us on the right cannot be silent.

Those who openly support abortion have no hesitation in ending innocent lives to achieve their goals, whether winning Golden Globes or getting promoted at work.

Parents leave when their child’s potential is ignored or their values are dismissed. They stay when education feels like a shared investment and when it delivers results.

The little girl flagged the older man over. By now, Mom was thinking to herself, it was too late to roll up the windows, the guy was already coming this way. She didn’t want to be THAT rude.

Just as the crime in Montgomery reverberates throughout the state, so does the fallout from criminal illegal aliens, affecting all Alabamians regardless of where they live.

The SPLC has, in my view, spent decades inflicting harm upon this country, weaponizing the language of civil rights to silence legitimate dissent and stigmatize conventional conservatism. That injury will not be quickly undone.

Don't be fooled. Montgomery really IS that bad.

Pray for this generation – that they will know the love and encouragement of Christ. We must remind our children that they are so much more than their successes or failures.

In Alabama, we have some of the strongest election integrity laws in the nation. But having good laws on the books is only one part of the equation.

In the five years I have served in the Senate, making DST permanent is the number one issue I hear about.

Regardless of who had it first, Halloween today is drenched in occultism if not outright Satanism. Witches, ghosts, vampires, goblins, ghouls, and the like have no place in any celebration fit for a Christian.
