2025/09/10

One of Gov. Kay Ivey’s greatest legacies will be her outstanding wisdom and prudence in her appointments to fill important judicial and governmental openings. She has shown amazing leadership in this capacity over her decade as governor. She had the opportunity to make another stellar appointment in June. Ivey appointed state Rep. Cynthia Lee Almond to be the new president of the Alabama Public Service Commission. The vacancy occurred when veteran PSC Commissioner Twinkle Andress Cavanaugh le...

Governor hopeful hands out condoms

The South Alabamian News Podcast ·

2025/09/10

A Democratic candidate for Alabama governor in 2026 said he’s using an unconventional campaign marketing gimmick. JaMel Jermain Brown, who describes himself on social media as a pastor, activist and candidate for governor, posted last week that he has ordered 1,000 new condoms large and extra-large that he will offer for free on behalf of his campaign. Brown previously ran for Montgomery City Council in 2023 and finished with 16% of the vote. Brown has not filed a monthly fundraising report. ...

In the Spirit on the Lord's Day

The South Alabamian News Podcast ·

2025/09/10

A college colleague told me about a tense Sunday morning when he was a part-time pastor. The deacon chairman confronted him before worship with a stern request (the Baptist deacon chairman is akin to a Master Sergeant in the U.S. Army). “We’re gonna’ wait until after the service, but we want to meet with you IMMEDIATELY when it’s done,” he scowled. It’s been some years since he told me this, and laughed about it then, but I forgot the punch line. I don’t know if he was terminated or live...

The first flight

The South Alabamian News Podcast ·

2025/09/10

The plane trip began in Tuscaloosa, and stopped in Jackson, before it finally reached Dallas. Later in life, taking this hopscotch flight was as aggravating as a floater in my eye. But not when I was 21 years old. Not when I was headed to my first big job interview — and my very first airplane ride. I was meeting with a large paper company. Apparently, they liked our first meeting at the University of Alabama, so I was invited to fly out and meet some of the muckety mucks. The operative word ...

It was Thursday, and as usual, I was busy working on weekend projects. My biggest project, of course, was my Sunday sermon. Most people don't understand the amount of hard work that goes into preparing a Sunday sermon. And I work hard. I was spending time researching some ideas on Google. I spend a lot of time on Google because it helps with my research. I'm able to find certain subjects very quickly. Until Thursday, I didn't realize how much time I spent on Google. It’s really a blessing in ...

Anti-incumbent mood in 2026? Maybe

The South Alabamian News Podcast ·

2025/09/10

Defeating an incumbent is one of the most challenging things to pull off in American politics. In the last 100 years, only four incumbent presidents have lost their reelection bids — Herbert Hoover, Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter and George H.W. Bush. In the last three congressional cycles, the incumbent seeking reelection had a success rate of more than 90%. It does happen, but when it does, it can be part of a bigger, broader shift in the country’s political temperament. In 1980, the Reagan...

U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Auburn) expressed his continued approval of President Donald Trump’s effort to combat crime in Washington, D.C., and said he believed in using the Alabama National Guard if necessary if he is elected governor next year. “Washington, D.C., is the capital of the free world and is supposed to be a place where Americans can visit and feel safe,” Tuberville said in a conference call last week. “I want Alabamians to feel safe when they come to my office or visit the mo...
