Op-Ed by Lt. Gov. Will Ainsworth   For all of my adult life, politicians in Montgomery have talked about the need to remove the state sales tax from groceries, but they always find excuse after excuse that prevents them from actually doing it.

I do not follow the cult of personality. I have no personal affinity for the likes of either Trump, RINOs, Neo-Cons, Republicans, Biden, Obama, Bush, Clinton, Liberals, Democrats, etc. I am, and will forever be, a U.S. military veteran who swore an oath to our Constitution.

Kay Ivey’s State of the State speech was a surprise announcement that she is asking the Alabama Legislature give a one-time rebate of $400 to each taxpayer or $800 for each family. The $1 billion request relies on the large surpluses the state has…

  Dr. Jeff Fuller, pastor of Rockford Baptist Church, praying at the State House before the Alabama Senate begins its session. Photo submitted   The last couple of weeks have somewhat renewed my faith in the future of our great country. I’ve been to several events that showed that patriotism is still alive and well,…

  So many things are going on in our country that I just cannot wrap my mind around. Good and evil is really battling each other, and I’m praying good is going to win in the end. Of course, those of us who read the Bible know how the story ends! But we have to…
