Brett Kavanaugh to SCOTUS would assure Trump legacy

Lathan, ALGOP circumvent secretary of state, agree to hand out sensitive voter info

There is often a penalty for believing dumb things. Terry Lathan should receive one. Last week, emails from soon-to-be-impeached-President Trump’s so-called “voter fraud commission” were made public for the first time. The short-lived commission, which was abruptly disbanded last January, less than a year after it was established, was set up to root out the … Continued

Over the next few weeks, students across Southwest Alabama will head back to school. The start of a new school year always comes with special emotions for students, parents, and teachers.

Shouldn’t we hope Bellefonte, Haney succeed?

Maybe Franklin Haney really can get the Bellefonte Nuclear Plant up and running, putting thousands to work in one of Alabama’s poorest counties and creating a success story out of a perpetual failure. Maybe. Or maybe he can’t. Maybe the facility continues to sit like an eyesore along Hwy 72 in Hollywood — just the … Continued

The most important election ever

Strengthening our hand with Iran

President Trump recently announced he will withdraw the United States from the Iran Nuclear Agreement. From the very beginning, I said this was a flawed, weak deal that serves the interests of bad actors in Iran at the expense of our own. I support the Trump Administration’s efforts to ensure that we truly end Iran’s … Continued

Each April, Americans across the country face great frustration and inconvenience in filing their taxes. Fortunately, this Tax Day marked the last time Americans would file their taxes under the old tax code.

Scott Dawson: Time to make Alabama a sweeter home for business

We’ve all heard about how important it is to recruit out-of-state businesses to Alabama. As Governor, that will be a top priority of mine. That said, I’ll never forget a comment from a Birmingham CEO as we met in his boardroom. He said that every month, sitting around that table, he and his colleagues joke … Continued

Trump’s EPA chief betrays pro-life values

For evangelicals the Bible is the authoritative for our faith. Therefore, we believe as the psalmist says, “The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it;” (Psalm 24:1-2 NIV). God created the earth and all who live on it — thus belonging to Him, and as such … Continued
