Another “guns in church” bill is coming. It will be as pointless as the previous versions

You can take your gun to church, unless the church says you can’t.  There is no law that will change this. And there will never be one.  That is because in America, a private business or house of worship has the right to prevent anyone from entering their premises for pretty much any reason that … Continued

A letter to Steve Marshall: You’re still wrong about why Alabama could lose a congressional seat

The stupidity is still surprising

Congratulations, Guy V. Martin, you’ve managed to surprise me. That’s not easy to do. At least, not where it concerns someone writing dumb things or carrying the water for a rich person or an even richer company. I’ve been covering politics in this state for a long time.
