The South Alabamian News Podcast ·

2025/07/30

One of the best races in this blockbuster election year will be for lieutenant governor. In bygone years, this was a much more powerful position than it is today. For about 50 years, from the 1950s through the 1990s, the lieutenant governor controlled the state Senate.

The Senate relinquished this power to the lieutenant governor when the most brilliant parliamentarian in the annals of Alabama l...

Undisciplined men are found in prisons, hospitals and graveyards.” — Steve Harvey, comedian, author, actor and television host. You’ve been around them, we all have: the parent who gazes adoringly at their little boy who is acting like a self-appointed detonated bomb. Using the tenderest tone of voice, they carefully speak to him, “Evan, please don’t do that, it’s not nic...

2025/07/16

Is church a waste of time? Is it a waste of time for you to refuel your car? If you do not stop occasionally at the convenience store or fueling station, your car will just be a piece of metal beside the road. Your automobile requires gasoline or charging to keep going. Your automobile will not run efficiently if you do not occasionally have it serviced. Wheel balancing, alignments, brake pads and more are just part of routine maintenance.

2025/07/16

As early as last Thanksgiving, there were smoke signals coming out of Washington that our popular senior senator, Tommy Tuberville, was going to forgo an easy re-election jaunt to a second six-year term in the United States Senate, to run for governor of Alabama in 2026. The coveted governor’s office was going to be open because Gov. Kay Ivey could not run for another term.
