Listen to 1819 News Contributor Amie Beth Shaver on News & Views with Joey Clark as they discuss courage in its various forms.
The same class of the richest, most powerful elites who owned slave plantations still controls the Democratic Party and many Republican RINOs.
Courage is both physical and mental. It takes practice. It’s what our world needs and it’s what our God commands.
Listen to 1819 News Contributor Stephanie Holden Smith on The Jeff Poor Show as they discuss the AEA professional association and its apparent focus on its members and not on education, as evidenced by abysmal student test scores.
Listen to 1819 News Contributor Stephanie Holden Smith on News & Views with Joey Clark as they discuss her op-ed on the Civics Secures Democracy Act, parents running for school board positions throughout the state in an effort to take back schools for their kids, and the Biden administration's radical decision to refuse school lunches for poor children unless schools cave to the administration's sexual agenda.
The Civics Secures Democracy Act is clearly a leftist attempt at a civics coup; it must be stopped.
The Ninth Amendment protects rights not even listed in the Constitution. It was the anti-federalist insurance policy that the newly formed federal government misconstrued the language of the document to deny any individual rights.
The people of any community do not have to just settle for disruption and disorder. They don’t. The people in the small mountain village prove that point.
It was a little over a year ago when I first was contacted about 1819 News. It had been over a decade since I was part of a news organization, but journalism — good journalism — has always been my first love.
There’s a national movement to get liberal prosecutors not to prosecute crimes at all. In addition, the federal government has sued Alabama over the conditions of our prisons.
Listen to 1819 News CEO Bryan Dawson on News & Views with Joey Clark as they are joined by Justin Bogie, Senior Director of Fiscal Policy at the Alabama Policy Institute, as they discuss $160 million in unemployment claim overpayments, which are being dismissed as insignificant and should be forgiven, while the same amount in tax cuts this year was touted as meaningful tax relief.
Listen to Alabama Unfiltered's Amie Beth Shaver on News & Views with Joey Clark as they discuss furries and litterboxes in school restrooms, kids and cellphones and Alabama Unfiltered.
According to recent data from the U.S. Department of Labor, Alabama overpaid unemployment compensation benefit recipients by more than $164 million in 2020 and 2021.
I attended Turning Point USA’s Student Action Summit this past weekend in Tampa. It was delightful to see so many young conservative patriots (over 5,000) in attendance - willing to stand up for our God-given freedoms and rights - the values our founders established for our country, which are secured by the U.S. Constitution.
Schools today chase the latest ideology. And because we can't see the damage or we choose to ignore it, the idea seems to be, what's the harm in letting a kid express themselves? Who cares if they dress up as a furry?
Under current Alabama law, judges have limited authority to deny bail to violent offenders unless the suspect is charged with a capital offense or poses a flight risk. That means that dangerous criminals are being released back onto the streets, even when its likely they will commit more violent crimes as soon as they make bail.
Listen to 1819 News Editor-in-Chief Ray Melick on The Jeff Poor Show as they discuss teacher salaries versus disappointing student testing results.
The Alabama Department of Public Health and their unelected leader, Scott Harris, are back to pushing masks as a COVID mitigation strategy.
It gives one pause to witness so many free, intelligent, and otherwise lucid people excrete blivits of bad faith in their understanding of and actions in relation to THE LAW.
Think about it. In recent days President Biden himself has said that the pain at the pump right now is a “necessary part of the transition.” Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said that it is well known that the current electrical grid infrastructure cannot sustain the push to reach Biden’s electric vehicle goals of 50% total usage by 2030.
Stephanie, I agree with your article 100%. When we believe that the Church is a place for worship, evangelism, and missions instead of politics and division and condemning to hell, then the boldest way and the only way the church can speak is through evangelism and missions, salt and light in government education and in the marketplace of institutions. Jesus went to the Samaritan woman at the well. The politicians and church leaders nailed Him on the cross for doing that.
The Illinois legislature, which is dominated by Democrats, voted almost unanimously in favor of suspending the 1% sales tax on groceries in April. Part of a package deemed the “Family Relief Plan,” Illinois’ budget for this year also includes a pause on increasing the state’s gas tax, tax rebate checks of $50-$100 per person, $520 million in property tax credits for homeowners, and an expanded sales tax holiday for school supplies and clothing.
I stop at a little seafood joint. The place is surrounded by marshland grass, a wide-open sky, scattered live oaks, and roughly 8 million Chrysler Pacifica minivans. The place looks like a tourist trap on crack. But it’s getting late, so I go inside and order a beer.
Modern people seem to be driven by their feelings and no doubt Hollywood has had something to do with that, particularly when it comes to our feelings and romantic love. It is as if we can abdicate our responsibilities in marriage if we lose our feelings toward our spouse.
When Birmingham won its bid to host the 2021 World Games in 2015, it was expected to be a major boom for the area. At the time, organizers projected that the economic impact would be $256.5 million against a projected cost of $75 million. But now that the World Games have come and gone, was it worth the price? Did expectations live up to reality?
All in all, the legislature did the abortion issue right and we are seeing the fruit of their labor today. The now-effective Human Life Protection Act is true to pro-life principles, will keep women from prosecution, and represents Alabama’s conservative values well. It is a morally just law of which our state ought to be proud. It was not a haphazard political stunt but a good and thoughtful policy that considered what implementation might look like if the ban were ever allowed to go into effect.
