I appreciate Richard Shelby. No, that is not sarcasm or the setup for a surprise turn to a scathing column. I mean it. I appreciate the way the Alabama senator has represented this state during the ongoing debate over President Donald Trump’s ridiculous big, beautiful wall that Mexico apparently isn’t paying for. Shelby, a Republican, … Continued

Can Alabama’s one-party system deliver for all the people?

Alabama is a one-party state. For 136 years, the Democratic Party was the sole governing body which ruled the state under a one-party system. Voters switched sides in 2010, and now there is one-party control by Republicans. Of the many problems created by a one-party system are the elimination of checks and balances, disregard for … Continued

The death of America

It’s not going to be a giant meteor. Or the Four Horsemen. Or a rapture. Or aliens. Or global warming. Or nuclear war. None of those are going to be the end of America. Stupidity is going to kill us.

How has Trump deceived you? Let’s count the ways

Over the weekend, the same Facebook post kept popping up on my feed. It was, essentially, a long whine about how poorly Donald Trump has been treated by pretty much everyone since becoming president.
