Gambling in Alabama is already unconstitutional and laws against it should be enforced.

Emily Jones: The surprising lack of accountability in school libraries

If we’re witnessing our schools push a strongly worded memo calling for corrective actions without a deadline, why should we believe anyone is taking this issue seriously? We shouldn’t.

Birthday Alabama News
Joey Clark: Grown men always celebrate the gift of another birthday

A grown man should be utterly embarrassed to suggest he or anyone else should make a big fuss over his birthday, but any man worthy of his fated age should always rejoice in the birth of new life and new family.  

Family Praying Alabama News
Pete Riehm: Even in darkness, we still give thanks

Our wearied nation has endured some dark times the past few years and the darkness does not seem to be dissipating, so it may seem difficult to give thanks.

Singing Alabama News
Phil Williams: Casinos and tone-deaf politics

Politicians need to sing to their audience, not to themselves. They need to sing (and govern) in a manner that does not look, sound, or feel like they are so tone deaf that they are missing what really matters to the people who elected them.

Thanksgiving Alabama News
Ashley Carter: A day of Thanksgiving

Start each day with a heart of gratitude! Make every day a day of thanksgiving!

The simple words of the Mayflower Compact convey the basic principles of law and government that influenced future generations to draft colonial charters and, later, the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. 

Smoking Weed Alabama News
Joey Clark: It's a joke Alabamians can't buy pot

The war on pot is lost. It was lost long ago. And it’s high time prohibitionists admitted the truth: pot fought the law, and pot won.

Cracker Alabama News
Jim Zeigler: Does anybody else use the term 'soda cracker?’

It must be a Southern thing because I have never heard it used north of the Mason-Dixon line. And even here in the Southland, I don’t hear it much anymore.

Palestinian Protest Alabama News
Phil Williams: Fallacious, salacious and downright contumacious

Amazingly, arguments are being bandied about by pro-Palestinian supporters that Israel is to blame for the attacks on its people, that Israel is an “apartheid state,” that Israel is an occupier of Palestine, and most egregious, that Israel is conducting genocide.
