My reply to James Wakefield:

Plywood still covers our Confederate Veterans’ Monument in Birmingham, as it has since August 2017.

As an unlikely Democrat from deep-red Walker County, I found myself overwhelmed by options early on, when we had no less than 29 presidential candidates. That changed when I discovered Pete Buttigieg.

Mr. J.K. Corson: Noted how you pretend to want the President to have a fair trial (impeachment) as you decry the impact wealth has on public perception. Where was your fuss when the Dems did their thing in the House? Where was your fuss when the press posted lies and half-truths about Trump …

I am angry! I am sick and tired of the vitriolic lies spewed daily by Republican senators and congressmen, evangelists, Fox News, conspiracy-theorists, and the POTUS and all his men. Pardon me if I’ve left anyone out. 

I write to applaud the archaeologists who have recently extracted a Stone Age teenage girl’s complete genome from a piece of birch tar she had chewed and discarded nearly 6,000 years ago. It is impressive that they can figure out what she looked like, what she ate, and what bacteria and viru…

I find it sad as a citizen of this state. I find it sad that every politician we have voted in office and keep in office has not done anything for the state. We rank anywhere between 50th and 47th, depending on which poll you look at, in health care, education, mental health — pretty much ev…

Anthony Cook’s guidelines on praying for President Donald Trump align with Scripture.

Sunday’s Jan. 5, 2020, ANNISTON STAR has letters from my two favorite contributors, Billy Price and David Duncan. These gentlemen seem to have a distorted understanding of our economic system. The United States is a capitalistic form of government. Communism and socialism are both defined as…

Our current president has been legally impeached by his own peers. His moral character or lack thereof has brought him to this place of global embarrassment. Unfortunately, Donald J. Trump’s moral values do not exist in the same universe with those of our Founding Fathers, and one in particu…

While Iran and the U.S. are both “standing down” from their missile strikes for the moment, how long will this last? Until their next threat or terrorist act? Until they have completely annexed Iraq? Until their next attack on us or our allies?

On Oct. 10 and 11 of 2019, Janney Furnace Park hosted over 800 fourth-grade students from seven elementary schools in Calhoun County, along with Jacksonville Christian Academy.  Students, teachers and parents learned about Alabama history and saw what life was like in the 1860s. We were hono…

This is my reply to Anthony Cook’s editorial, "How to pray for President Trump." I do not always agree with the president’s choice of words, however, after having served with several people in the military from New York City, I understand their brazen attitude and bluntness, the tough guy im…

Re: December 20, Anthony Cook’s editorial on Christianity Today

Having just read Amos Kirkpatrick’s post of how the Dems election of 2018 to controlling the House saved the US, I wonder how the corruption of the US justice system by the Dems in the FISA Court did it? 

This nation continues to be “held hostage” by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi by refusing to deliver the approved Bill of Impeachment to the U.S. Senate. Surely you know by now that the Senate leadership has guaranteed the public that when that happens, it is over since they intend to vote it dow…

Our prisons and jails in Alabama and across the nation struggle to successfully perform their responsibilities. Alabama is on the verge of being taken over by the federal courts as we go through our third prison overcrowding crisis since I began my law-enforcement career.   

I only recently noticed that the advice column of Dr. Robert Wallace is no longer in the paper. It last appeared on Nov. 30. I assume it was discontinued either due to lack of reader interest or to cut costs. While I understand both motivations, please, I beg you: reconsider! Dr. Wallace’s w…

We must be clear about the issue before us. It is more than the impeachment of one man. There is a real possibility that the issue is whether we remain a democracy or in effect acknowledge that we have become an oligarchy. The imbalance of wealth has allowed the wealthy to write laws in thei…

After the article came out about our move to Oxford, I felt that some clarification was needed as it stated that the business was started in Alexandria. Auto Custom Carpets, Inc. was founded by Jack Holland in Anniston in 1977. The business started on J Street. After the fourth addition to t…

Everyone needs to take advantage of the Calhoun County Commission’s Animal Control Snip-It Ticket Program. You can purchase a reduced price Snip-It ticket in the County Commission office, which will provide for spay/neuter procedures for your dogs and cats at the Alabama Spay/Neuter clinic i…

Having established a permanent office on the summit of Hypocrisy Mountain and claiming a counterfeit patent on morality, the counter-progressive Inquisitors are not conducting a sincere examination of evidence, but are, in fact, defending a Globalist oligarchy.

Just read the article about integration that is still going in my hometown. I recall some of the same incidents that happened back in the ’60s when I attended Cobb Avenue High School. I remember when we got the ragged books passed down to us. The books had all kinds of drawings, missing page…

The Democrats’ latest ploy painted them into a corner and the paint will not dry before the 2020 election, ergo, they must go with what they’ve got.
