Vance’s hit 2016 autobiography Hillbilly Elegy, he tells the vivid story of rural Midwestern whites trapped in a cycle of poverty and unemployment.

Awhile back I wrote that we can expect a Kent State-style event to occur, and it has in Charlottsville today. Ever since President Trump announced his candidacy, his supporters have suffered being spat upon, pepper-sprayed and beaten while the police in San Jose, CA, Berkeley, Ca and other locales simply looked on.  That in itself will lead to the aforementioned […]

Ben Stein’s Diary Mueller, Mueller, anyone, anyone? As usual, Bob Dylan said it best. “There are a lot of people who have knives and forks but they don’t have anything on their plates, and they have to cut something.” That someone is now the self-styled “progressives,” who control the Democratic Party. The sad truth is that the Democratic Party has […]

We should know by now that Band-Aids, imaginary red lines, rhetoric and throwing money around does not work with dictators and fanatics, they step over the lines, ignore the warnings, take the money and continue down the same path they were on. For too long, America has kicked multiple cans down the road until we have at least two powder […]

by Adam Grey  /  Faith and Heritage What exactly could be more emasculating than cutting off one’s genitalia in order to “become” a woman? Pray tell, what about such a horrific decision would demonstrate strength, intelligence, and good judgment? Last of all, why would you want such a weak link to be in your nation’s defense chain? When President Donald Trump announced […]

By David Thornton  /  The Resurgent China figures strongly into the current North Korea crisis, but exactly how is a matter of dispute. President Trump seems to believe that China is the key to resolving the matter of North Korea’s nuclear weapons, but it is far from certain that China’s interests in the region align with our own. Beyond the fact […]

Written by  Raven Clabough Google has fired an employee responsible for a right-wing memo that was critical of the organization’s liberal diversity policy, proving once more that Google supports diversity only as long as it does not include viewpoints diverse from the company’s left-wing ideologies. James Damore, who served as a software engineer at Google since 2013, told YouTube chat-show host […]

For a long time I have seen a connection between the *GRANTS* that provide money to government agencies (police, etc) which contain CHAINS of what the recipient must do to get those *GRANTS*.  It extends to the UNIONS tht say they will protect and demand benefits for their members -at the expense of monthly fees. The 501(c)(3) ruling is in […]

I had a terrifying thought this morning, that I hope with all my heart never becomes anything more than a thought, but the more I think about it the more feasible and possible it becomes to me. We all know that the Trump White House leaks like a colander, but I think that General Kelly will introduce measures to nip […]

Most of them are Republicans, and mostly likely there will be primaries. What do I predict? My prediction is that there is a force out there ready to bring […]

“The men turned away and went toward Sodom, but Abraham remained standing before the Lord.” (Genesis 18:22) An interesting way to start an opinion article on the way we should live our life don’t you think?

This column is written primarily in response to the way a host of televangelists, pastors, self-professing Christian talk show hosts, and Christian leaders are promoting Donald Trump as being a man of “bold Christian faith,” a “Bible-believing Christian,” a “modern Moses,” a “modern John The Baptist,” a “man for the Body of Christ,” a “REAL Christian,” etc., ad infinitum. Forgive […]

“When a man knows he is to be hanged in a fortnight,” Samuel Johnson observed, “it concentrates his mind wonderfully.” And the prospect of a future where Kim Jong Un can put a nuclear weapon on a U.S. city is going to cause this nation to reassess the risks and rewards of the American Imperium. First, some history. “Why should […]

“You can’t be for big government, big taxes and big bureaucracy and still be for the little guy.” —Ronald Reagan “An unlimited power to tax involves, necessarily, a power to destroy; because there is a limit beyond which no institution and no property can bear taxation.” —John Marshall (1819) The regulatory cuts ordered by President Donald Trump are already saving consumers billions of […]

By Hugh McInnish Time waits for no man, and here in Alabama an event is rushing unbridled upon us.
