I talked with Escambia County Circuit Clerk John Robert Fountain this week and he told me he had to send back 15 absentee voter applications Friday because those requesting a ballot filled out everything except whether they wanted to vote in the Republican Primary on June 5 or the Democratic Primary on June 5. When I talked with him last week he had already sent back three due to the same reason. Sometimes I think I'm trying to beat a dead horse to death, but I'm going to keep beating it in...
We stood on the lawn in front of the Escambia County (Ala.) Courthouse Monday morning as Retired Marine Col. Charles Jackson read the names of the 175 county residents who lost their lives during military duty protecting our country. We watched as surviving family members made their way to the specific memorial of the war where their relatives died. It's a touching ceremony. Jackson did say he was glad the 'honor roll' had not been increased over the past several years as fallen veterans from World War I to the current War on Teriorism where...
As Americans, we know all too well that freedom is not free. Each time we bow our heads to pray or speak up for what we believe in, we exercise rights that many across the world do not have.

We are reminded of their patriotic sacrifice each Memorial Day as we pay our respects to servicemembers who have selflessly given their lives to defend freedom and liberty throughout our country’s history. From the A...

Folks, Richard Shelby has probably forged to the front of that triumvirate with his elevation to the chairmanship of the Senate Appropriations Committee in April. The Chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee makes the ultimate decision about how every federal United States dollar is spent. Alabama has never...
It seems Pope Francis has a penchant for igniting firestorms with his unscripted comments, but the latest may be a fanciful tempest in a tea pot. He set LGBTQ passions ablaze with hopes of affirmation and fired up conservative Christians with possible apostasy when he reportedly told a gay Chilean man: “God made you that way and loves you.” Context is vitally important here. The gay man, Juan Carlos Cruz, was a victim of sexual abuse by a Chilean Priest and then maligned and ostracized by the Catholic hierarchy in Chile when they sought to den...
