The traffic light in St. Florian on County Road 47 only stays green for about 15 seconds. We counted the seconds, and it keeps changing really quick to yellow and then red, so it will entrap people when they are trying to cross the road. They have a camera on the light so they can give peopl…

Tuscumbia (officials) should be ashamed of themselves thinking they can spend millions of dollars building a new tourism spot, which is not going to draw any people in this area. If people were going to come see Ivy Green, they are going to come anyway. They don’t have a have a new tourism b…

What is going on? America does not need to be in anymore wars.

I have been very concerned about seeing a lady on Cox Creek Boulevard near the new UNA practice field. She seems to be living in the field there. This is below Sherwood Forest subdivision. She frequently holds signs that says she is homeless. I have reported it to see if there is any help th…

Character is not defined by how you treat people when everyone is watching. Character is defined by how you treat people when only God is watching.

I guess I’m just old-fashioned, but if a business advertises that they open at 8 a.m., I take it that they should be open by 8, all the employees there and ready to go to work. I showed up at the Franklin County Courthouse recently and, if it wasn’t bad enough that I was having to write a ch…

With all the millionaires and billionaires out there trying to cut Social Security and unemployment compensation and Medicare and Medicaid — all the things the poor need — you have to wonder why all the preachers on Sunday aren’t speaking out, because it’s really not that hard to understand.…

A recent caller said the presidential election should be decided by popular vote, not the electoral college. The framers of the Constitution were brilliant men for the times they lived in. The reason the electoral college was invented was to keep the election from being decided by a handful …

No one should be surprised that Joe Biden pardoned his son. If he had waited for Donald Trump to get in there, Trump would have put him in jail for the rest of his life.

A recent caller said Joe Biden accepted defeat when Donald Trump was elected. Biden could not accept defeat. He did not run for president. Kamala Harris did. Harris is the person who was defeated for president.

Tax, tax, tax. Let’s see what that means. Are you talking about tax and spend with Democrats or Republicans? Donald Trump has made it a fact what he is going to do. Listen to this: 25% tax to Mexico, 25% tax to Canada and so many taxes to China. You notice he didn’t mention Russia, because V…

Our city of Tuscumbia is a beautiful place and truly decorated for Christmas. The only thing we need is a Christmas tree. We have lights and other attractions in Spring Park, but we have no tree. Christmas trees are one of the necessary things for kids and adults as well.

We’ve heard a lot lately about mass deportations. That’s misinformation put out by liberals. President Donald Trump will be actively deporting criminal aliens, but there won’t be mass deportations any more than COVID killed everyone in the country, the ice caps melted in 2008, and the ozone …

Be sure to check on your elderly family, friends and neighbors for signs of elder abuse. Physical, emotional, financial — ask them if they are OK. If they tell you they are being abused, report it to law enforcement.

My question is where were the parents while those kids were climbing some monument at the Colbert County Courthouse? I just wonder if they had anybody tell them to get off that, they should not be on there. Don’t know where the parents are some days.

I guess I'm talking to the middle class and the poor. You need to think for yourself. This Elon Musk that's financing Donald Trump is a billionaire and is supposed to be the richest man in the world. He's talking about they are going to have to crash the economy and right now we've got the l…

The post office in Florence used to deliver our mail around 7 p.m. during Christmas time. Now they deliver at 7 p.m. all the time. We have to go out to the mailbox with a flashlight. Someone has to do something about the Postal Service.

The Alabama Accountability Act provides scholarship funds for private schools. Soon Alabama will be giving more funds to families for school choice options. Public schools staff members who are jealous of this and fear a funding shortage need to look hard at how much money their own schools …

Every time I hear about our legislators in Montgomery pulling tax money out of our public schools to give it to private schools I just have to laugh. It’s an example of parents thinking their kids are too good to go to school with public school kids. They get them enrolled in private school …

I have an easy solution to stop storming college football fields after big victories, but I doubt it would be considered. Make the offending school forfeit the game and put their team on one-year probation.

I hope that all Americans will hold the Republicans and Democrats responsible for not letting our deficit balloon and get bigger. As this new Trump administration works to renew the 2017 tax cuts, that is a fear we should all be worried about. We need to remember the debt that was created du…

Can somebody tell me what kind of rights are these liberals going to lose under Donald Trump? I don’t remember them losing anything last time he was president.

I wonder if these women wonder if things keep on getting higher, how are they going to pay for an abortion to begin with?

We were pulling into our property and we saw a little white truck getting our Harris-Walz signs, we had two, and he put them in the back and took off and we followed him and caught him. We got our signs back and we asked him why he would do that. He was about 18, 19 years old and he started …

I hear Florence is getting another Publix. That’s exciting, but my word, how much more stuff can we put on Cloverdale Road? Can we not go down Cox Creek Parkway?

Why are Iran and Russia hacking into the Trump campaign — it is documented — in order to influence the election in favor of Kamala Harris? Obviously, if Harris was president, the U.S. would be a weaker target.

I will vote for Kamala Harris precisely because she is more qualified to be president than anyone else who aspires to it, man or woman.

If you had an engine problem with your car and took it to a repair shop and when you got it back it was in worse condition than before, would you use this repair shop again? You would not. However, many voters today that turned their government to the Democrats and now it’s in worse conditio…

According to the Washington Examiner there is a 2019 FBI report on the Chinese Party lavishing gifts on visiting American teachers in order to advance its propaganda roles. One of these Americans is Manderin-speaking Gov. Tim Walz, who was quoted as saying he was given more gifts than he cou…

I’d like to ask evangelicals if it is a sin for a woman not to have biological kids. If so, where is it located in the Bible? Is it on the same page that abortion is outlawed on?

I just read the story of how the brain-damaged Army veteran Kenneth Street died in prison. This story emphasizes the fact that Alabama doesn’t have a place for these people. Perhaps we should open up some of our mental hospitals that were closed.

Sheffield authorities need to crack down on the number of unlicensed lawn maintenance providers operating in the city. Each week I notice a neighbor’s provider mowing the lawn and trimming the bushes. The refuse is then being blown down a storm drain instead of being bagged. When a downpour …

Just read where Jimmy Oliver was going to seek re-election as District 6 council. I see where he was touting citywide projects, tennis and pickleball courts, renovation to Handy Center, new downtown garage, new city hall, and as for District 6, he was working on a couple of roundabouts. I ho…

The Publisher’s Clearinghouse scams are starting up again. Please tell everyone to hang up if they call you. They never contact you in person. These are going around this area right now so everybody be cautious.

If the University of North Alabama is worried about safety on Pine Street, maybe their police department should enforce the jaywalking. Make the students cross at the crossing areas.

American people: What are you learning every day? You see, Jesus said to study the word and learn of him. Are you picking up on someone else’s hate speech? I don’t want to go there. I have my own feelings. And you know what? You should open the Bible and read. It is the most comforting book …

I would like for people to stay at home if they can’t go to a restaurant without bringing their dog. The only dogs that should be allowed are service dogs, not these so-called comfort dogs. Please keep your animals at home. It’s not very sanitary.

Former President Donald Trump said if he was elected president the government will be mandated to pay for invitro fertilization. The Democratic Party wants to fund abortion. You who profess to be a Christian and don’t know who to vote for in November, you need to read your Bible again. If yo…

This country’s voting pool has been dumbed down to the point that they ignore candidate’s qualifications to serve in office and vote based on Democrat or Republican, man or woman, race, or which candidate they like the most. This is a recipe for failure and this country will not survive with…

A recent TimesDaily front-page article focused on several fatalities involving motorcycle riders. The article stated motorists should watch motorcycle riders, and I agree with that. Most motorcyclists I see ride in a safe and responsible manner. However, there is an exception and that involv…

The profit margin in grocery stores averages nationwide about 1.5%. If you believe that Kamala Harris’ proposed price controls will be helpful, you are wrong because she would have to cut prices by 30% to make groceries affordable. This is the same thing that was done in the Soviet Union, Ve…

Nothing is made in the United States anymore. Take your neckline and your waistband. Mine were from Bangladesh and Jordan. Check your neckline and your waistband and see where they were made. I bet it wasn’t in the United States.

People there is power in being truthful and I believe in the spirit and truth. It’s filled with power over good and evil. Lie once and there are more coming. We have no value when we can’t be honest with ourselves.

The Colbert County sheriff again puts a sign in a Tuscumbia resident’s yard after a drug bust there. He continues to showboat and put signs in people’s yards saying: “We’re not going to put up with this.” He has no legal right to do that, and he is trespassing when he does that. How would he…
