Time and again over the past few years, we have witnessed a disturbing trend among liberals, namely that if you don’t agree with their positions, you are to be silenced, boycotted or removed. The Executive Committee of the Alabama Republican Party recently jumped into the liberal playbook fe…
This banquet not only enables us to better serve our community, but it also helps us to reach out to our young people in this county.
I was recently informed of inaccurate statements made by Mr. Timothy Ragland, who implied that Mayor Jerry Cooper and the City of Talladega have not maintained a positive relationship with Talladega College. Contrary to Mr. Ragland’s comments, the college enjoys a close relationship with May…

Yes, probate judge of Talladega County, you are right — “Marriage is probably the single most important decision two people will ever make together.” The changes in the Alabama law have greatly diminished [the legalization of] the institution of marriage.
Numerous wrecks at the Talladega bypass and Jackson Trace Road intersection have raised concern for the safety of our residents … rightly so.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: What is the real motive behind Trump's debt forgiveness for disabled veterans?
It was hard to miss the splashy news story this past week where President Trump announced unconditional "forgiveness" of student loan debt for all disabled veterans. On the surface for the non-military public, this would seem to be a noble humane gesture. But, is it?
The election is Tuesday. Polls are open from 7 a.m.-7 p.m. Those 12 hours represent what’s possible for Talladega. The city can’t afford to spend another four years in stagnation rooted in political division and pettiness.
I find it reprehensible that as the citizens of Hong Kong protest in the streets for freedom and liberty, America has members of the Democratic Socialist Party demonstrating in our streets to force America to be just like Communist China.
