Trump and His Supporters Live Outside Reality

By Joey Kennedy Alabama Political Reporter Oh, how I’d like to focus this column on the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia. How Democrats, despite the Bernie Bros and others, came together pretty quickly. I’d like to write about how marvelous First Lady Michelle Obama’s speech was on Monday night. Absolutely fantastic. And not plagiarized. It’d … Continued

With Republicans, We Have a Really Bad Combination

By Joey Kennedy Alabama Political Reporter Yeah, I delayed a day on writing this column, mainly because I wanted to see what direction the Republican National Convention was going to take. We pretty much saw it Tuesday night and Wednesday. It’s a hate fest, and the presumptive Democratic Party presidential nominee Hillary Clinton is the … Continued

No Honor Among Thieves

By Joey Kennedy Alabama Political Reporter Former Speaker of the Alabama House Mike Hubbard just doesn’t get it. Hubbard – sentenced last week to four years in a state prison, 16 years supervised probation, and more than $200,000 in fines for corruption – is vacant. No remorse from Hubbard for the serious crimes he committed. … Continued

It’s Past Time to Lift Cuban Economic, Travel Embargo

By Joey Kennedy Alabama Political Reporter Ironic, isn’t it, that Republican officials in Alabama are now lobbying for lifting the economic and travel embargo on Cuba? The Republican-controlled U.S. Congress has thus far refused to do so, despite growing calls for the country to ditch the failed policy. Still, good for those state leaders who … Continued

If You Can’t Do the Time, Don’t Do the Crime

By Joey Kennedy Alabama Political Reporter As Alabama Political Reporter Editor Bill Britt pointed out in a story this week, some folks in the State House really don’t take former Speaker Mike Hubbard’s conviction seriously. To some, it’s no big deal. As Britt writes, Rep Barry Moore (R-Enterprise) makes it “sound like (Hubbard) has been … Continued

The Never-ending Story: Corruption in Alabama

By Joey Kennedy Alabama Political Reporter Well, thank goodness it’s done. Former Speaker of the House Mike Hubbard, convicted on 12 of the 23 indictments against him, is no longer in the Alabama Legislature. The jury in the 13-day trial did its job, as did the state prosecutors. Bill Baxley, former attorney general and lieutenant … Continued

Trump Card is No Card for Republicans

By Joey Kennedy Alabama Political Reporter Looks like we’ll have another President Clinton. This time, Hillary. She’s the presumptive Democratic nominee for president, and there’s no way Republican Donald Trump can beat her. There just isn’t. The way U.S. demographics are today, it’d be difficult for any Republican to beat the Democratic nominee. Trump, though, … Continued

We Get What We Deserve

By Joey Kennedy Alabama Political Reporter I’m often criticized for picking on the Republican political leaders in Alabama. I’m accused of everything from being a Democrat to being a “libtard.” I admit to being a liberal. But I’m not a Democrat. I’m an Independent. I vote for Republicans and Democrats – whomever I deem best … Continued

Trump is a bigot. If you support him, own it.

By Joey Kennedy Alabama Political Reporter I’m getting some crap on Facebook because I made the following post: “Anybody who puts a Trump sign in their yard is saying: “I’m a bigot.” That’s what they’re saying. They’re welcome to do that, but they must understand that if they have a Trump sign in their yard, … Continued
