A small holiday wish

By Josh Moon Alabama Political Reporter While we are all in a nice, festive and warm mood from the holidays, it seems like a good time to ask an important question: When did we become such jerks?

Mueller is crooked? It’s true, if you want to believe it

By Josh Moon Alabama Political Reporter Robert Mueller is corrupt. That’s right. The war hero/military superstar/Republican appointed FBI director is really a liberal plant working to upend the Trump presidency because … well, there’s not a theory on why just yet, but there’s a reason out there somewhere!

A change in Alabama

By Josh Moon Alabama Political Reporter This changes things. Oh, don’t think that I’m going to launch into some sappy love-fest over Doug Jones’ victory Tuesday night. (And it was a victory.
