Unpopular Vote: I Don’t Care About Coal Miners
I take on the notion that we all have to die so coal miners can have a job, and wonder why brick-and-mortar retail isn’t being protected in the same way
Unpopular Vote: Obama is Retired
Both sides may be putting too much emphasis on Obama, whose next big “work” may involve margaritas in the Caribbean on Jay Z’s boat…
Movie Review: “Maze Runner: Death Cure” May Finally End YA Dystopia-Movies
If you’re anything like me, you may be struggling to remember “The Maze Runner” series and whether or not you even saw the last installment. You may also find you’d rather be watching the end of the “Divergent” series which stupidly split its final installment in half, only to question whether the second half should…
Movie Match-Up: “12 Strong” vs. “Den of Thieves”
A pair of macho, guys-vs.-guys actioners that come from different sides of the respectability spectrum, but will probably appeal to about the same demographic… Den of Thieves…Can writer-director Christian Gudegast (whose previous screenwriting credits include “classics” like “London Has Fallen” and the Vin Diesel howler “A Man Apart”) be sewed for copyright infringement? Because that’s how…
Movie Match-Up: “Proud Mary” vs. “The Commuter”
Two absolute junk January thrillers starring actors who’ve seen better roles, and if you waited until February to watch a movie in theaters I certainly wouldn’t blame you since the old truth about January being a dumping ground for the bottom-of-the-barrel looks to be holding true this year.

In a rare personal video, I explain how the misunderstood immigration lottery works and how it led to my wife and young son.
Social Liberalism Creates Jobs (Like Doug Jones)
AL explains how choosing Doug Jones over Roy Moore has already created jobs for Alabama, and how North Carolina’s homophobic laws have cost them jobs. Plus, how bigotry now scares away business and makes it harder for red-state based companies to recruit top talent…
Bannon’s Firing Exposes the Alt-Right as Astroturf
Pull back the Steve Bannons and the Richard Spencers of the Alt-Right and you find the Bob Mercer-billionaires REALLY controlling it…
OF COURSE, Trump is a Racist
I take on the convenient notion that Trump–with a decades-long record of discrimination–is just pretending to be a racist to get votes or fool voters…
Is the #MeToo Movement a Pawn of Big Business?
I breakdown the mergers of Disney/Fox/Hulu, AT&T/Time Warner, and the disastrous repeal of net neutrality, and how MeToo is unknowingly paving the way for it.
PC Liberals are the New Social Conservatives
AL talks about joining the Alabama Democratic Party of the 90’s to get away from social conservatism, but today’s ultra-PC liberals may have more in common with social conservatives than they think…
