“What’s all the fuss about?” I wondered upon hearing these things. What’s so worrisome to our government about worshiping in a certain language?

Country Church 2 Alabama News
Talmadge Butts: How long until government closes churches again?

Were there no laws on the books that “clearly established” that the government cannot restrict church assembly?

Capitol Dome Alabama News
Joey Clark: Our national addiction

A life gripped by addiction is a series of short farcical victories that spell long tragic defeat, where even the so-called daily winners end up losers in the long run. This is true for individuals as well as entire nations.

Mustafa Kemal Alabama News
Justice Will Sellers: The Turkish Republic at 100

Even today, Turkey is a critical and necessary ally. Pausing to look back at their struggles to establish a republic gives us a basis for hope in their future.

Border Migrants Alabama News
Phil Williams: You break it, you buy it

The United States is the injured party. Our southern border is our eggshell skull. The Biden administration’s actions are the proximate cause of countless injuries to our whole society.

Shutdown Alabama News
Randy Tatano: The fine print of a government ‘shutdown’

The phrase “your tax dollars at work” may as well be “your tax dollars on vacation” whenever there’s a government shutdown.

Child praying Alabama News
Ashley Carter: Restoring the importance of religion in our nation

We talk today about moral decline, but we forget that we are actively removing God from our homes, our schools, and the political world.

Andy Griffith Alabama News
Sean of the South: Andy

I get Andy. And though I never knew him, he seems to understand me. And when I see that familiar jailhouse, or hear Barney Fife’s tenor voice, I am no longer that lonely child who once sat before a television and wondered if anyone would ever love him.

Tree nuts, farmers market, pistachios Alabama News
Tuberville: From farms to farmers markets — Boosting the tree nut industry

My bill will open a new market for tree nuts and increase their demand, putting more revenue in growers’ pockets to cover expenses and continue producing.

Jennifer Oliver O’Connell: Why the Freedom From Religion Foundation has Alabama in its crosshairs

Make no mistake, FFRF has targeted Alabama and will not stop until they succeed in upending the practices of faith that many of us hold dear.

Drugs pills Alabama News
Erica Thomas: Breaking the chains of the opioid crisis

Alabama is known for a church on every corner, but somehow those corners are also plagued with drugs and crime. How did it get this way and what is being done to bring Alabamians back to God and break the chains that are binding and killing His people?

Conversation Alabama News
Nick Treglia: Ready at a moment’s notice

When we think about witnessing to someone, it often comes with a pang of anxiety or stress. We feel like the conversation would be forced or awkward. But the Lord works in mysterious ways.

Praying Alabama News
Lauren DeMoss Benson: Weathering these scary times with confidence

We need to get on our knees and turn to God in prayer and beg Him to do a work in us – His people – and then do a work in our country. We need to do what’s right in big things and in small so that when God looks down on us, He sees a remnant of people who are faithful to Him alone, because our actions – the actions of God’s people – are what will heal our land.

Inflation money shot Alabama News
Jennifer Wolverton: ‘Give me my money back!’

We must reclaim education funding through Educational Savings Accounts (ESAs) and prepare Alabama for new and exciting microschools, which are the small, flexible, high-quality education models of the future.

Michelle Lujan Grisham Alabama News
Talmadge Butts: ‘Executive overreach is for your own good!’

The most consistent thing about government is that those in power, no matter who they are, always claim to have our best interests at heart. “It’s for your own good!” runs the executive’s trusty refrain.

Tourism Alabama News
Dr. Daniel Sutter: Tourism and prosperity

Value-creating tourist destinations improve Alabama’s economy – and our lives. But subsidizing tourism with tax dollars will not create prosperity. 

Jack Campbell Alabama News
Joey Clark: In memory of my friend, Jack Campbell

Rest in peace, Jack. I will never forget you. Years from now, when I’m that older man sitting alone at the local watering hole, perhaps someone will say hello and stop to listen to some of those same lines we once shared.

Fetterman Alabama News
Phil Williams: The making of laws is a sacred trust

The making of laws is a sacred trust and should not be treated like a morning at the gym.

An encouraging trend is unfolding here in the great state of Alabama as more and more Alabamians are trading in their urban lifestyles for a more self-sufficient way of life.

Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger Alabama News
Jim Zeigler: Watching a miracle from Mountain Brook

I was at my brother Alan Zeigler’s home, then in Mountain Brook. It was early morning, and we were drinking coffee. Alan was intently watching the morning news on TV, a morning ritual.

Angels Alabama News
Sean of the South: Angels in the outfield

Did you know that nearly eight out of every 10 Americans believe in angels? For the math challenged, that’s a whole dang lot of people. When it comes to global figures, seven out of 10 humans believe in angels.

Food Pyramid Alabama News
Amie Beth Shaver: Bugs on our plate?

Even though THEY still salivate at the chance to map out and control every aspect of our lives – including getting us to eat bugs – the winds of change, slight though they may be, are upon us.

Doctor Masks Alabama News
Dr. Andrew Hodges: Meet the new boss … same as the old one

Brace yourselves for fall. Here come the words and actions of poorly-informed, politically-motivated and superstitious people.

With such strong support for originalism, you would think schools and the bar would be training attorneys to argue their cases from this interpretation, right? Wrong!

Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe (4) throws against Texas Alabama News
Allen Keller: Of quarterbacks and nations

Even though a quarterback is only 1/11th of an offense, the necessity of the position and what he brings to the overall system is so much more than this.

Constitution1 Alabama News
Col. John Eidsmoe: Do treaties trump the Constitution?

Some globalists still insist that treaties supersede the Constitution, but legal precedent clearly says otherwise.
