Gomer and Goober at the Helm: How Doug Jones and Tabitha Isner Drove a Sinking Ship Straight to the Ocean Floor
What Isner and Jones pulled in 2022 is abhorrent. After Yolanda Flowers defeated State Senator Malika Sanders-Fortier, the party’s handpicked choice—daughter of longtime iconic Senator Hank Sanders—Isner and Jones proceeded to act like two spoiled brats who lost on the playground.

Case Dixon Joins the BCS. State of Alabama Podcast.
Even though he favors an America First policy like President Trump, Dixon is far from MAGA. Articulate and well-spoken, he is not afraid to voice his opposition to Trump sending troops into the nation's inner cities and waging war on Venezuelan drug cartels. He reminds one of Dr. Ron Paul.

A Pivotal Election In Alabama: The Yellowhammer State Stands At A Crossroads
Well, in the old USSR, the citizens could foretell the next General Secretary. Now, I am not saying these men and women vying to serve as our next constitutional officers are Marxist. I have had the pleasure of interviewing many of them. What I am saying is with the herd thinned out, a lack of competition is not good for our Republican form of representative government. Like the late Rush Limbaugh once said, "no one should run unopposed."

The House Always Wins: Why I Am Betting On Jeremy Oden
I would bet against it. As people begin their death watch, do not forget this is nothing new for Oden. The so-called "experts" wrote Oden off in three previous races. All three times, Oden made them eat their words. He always pulls a rabbit out of his hat.

Mind Your Own Business Wes Allen
I don't know if this is a gimmick to try to win support, but Wes Allen needs to stop running his mouth. We already saw him look foolish starting a public spat with former Secretary of State John Merrill a few months ago, leaving him with egg on his face.

First Casualty of the 2026 Gubernatorial Race: Ken McFeeters vs. Physics (Physics Wins)
The stunt—er, “campaign strategy”—was designed to challenge front-runner Tommy Tuberville to a wheelie contest. McFeeters claimed it was to expose Tuberville’s secret identity as a non-resident of Alabama, alleging the Senator would surely decline the challenge because, well, he doesn’t live here. Plus, nothing says “true Alabamian” like a politician wheeling a two-wheeled death trap.
