Capt. James Paul (U.S. Air Force, Retired) died today. He was one of my two best friends in Tuscaloosa, Alabama when George Jones and I desegregated our University of Alabama law school class from 1970 to 1973. Capt. Paul's Air Force officer's training helped us hold it all together under the most difficult of circumstances.  Because of Capt. Paul, all of us made it to the other side of midnight with our sanity intact, our heads held high, and our credentials in order.

Johnnie-Mae Shannon Watkins was a brave, strong, brilliant, unsung American hero. This Tupelo, Mississippi native was a trailblazing civil rights activist in Washington, D.C. during the 1950s, 60s, and 70s. Working together with her husband, Joseph T. Watkins, Johnnie-Mae changed the face of the federal workforce in Washington. This is her remarkable story.

America is engulfed in an assassination culture that is growing. The nature and scope of this culture has been assessed by the Network Contagion Research Institute and Rutgers University. The results of their study, which was published on April 7, 2025, are shocking.

Two landmark U.S. Supreme Court cases defined and protected freedom of speech and the right to peacefully protest in America -- NAACP v. Alabama (1958) and New York Times v. Sullivan (1964). Both cases were birthed by the U.S. Supreme Court because of Alabama's ruthless white supremacy policies and actions in the 1950s and 60s. Both cases maybe overturned by today's MAGA-controlled Supreme Court.

Every profession has bad employees. Police departments around the nation are no exception. Yet, we cannot have peace in the streets of America without justice, and we cannot have justice without a healthy respect for police officers and the rule of law by all Americans.

Convicted serial murderer William "Chick" Bush has been sitting on Alabama's death row for 43 years. The only reason why Bush has not been executed for the gruesome murders he committed in a single night is because Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall lacks the intestinal fortitude, intellectual acumen, and focus necessary to execute Bush.

Federal and state investigators are treating Tyler Robinson as a “lone wolf” assassin of Charlie Kirk.  Their theory of the case embraces a popular MAGA political theme -- Robinson’s transgender roommate/lover radicalized him to the point that he killed Charlie Kirk in a fit of "leftist" liberal rage. However, the mountain of credible evidence contradicts the FBI's official storyline and Robinson is not talking to law enforcement authorities. This article connects many of t

Based upon the evidence that has been made publicly available to date, the real killers in Kirk’s assassination case have NOT been identified or captured.  Suspect Tyler Robinson has been apprehended, but Kirk's assassination was not a "lone wolf" killing.

Any murder investigation that begins with the goal of clearing political friends and allies on the front-end to conform to a scripted narrative of events will only produce a "patsy defendant" for public vilification.  I can see from recent developments in Charlie Kirk's assassination investigation that FBI Director Kash Patel and Department of Homeland Security Anti-Terrorism Chief Thomas C. Fugate are headed in that direction.

One thing is clear about the assassination of Charlie Kirk -- it was a professional hit job by trained assassins.  It was planned and executed to perfection.  Kash Patel's FBI has no clue as to who assassinated Kirk and neither does Thomas C. Fugate, Donald Trump's 22-year-old Anti-Terrorism Chief. A precision assassination like this one is indicative of a covert “hit job” by a foreign intelligence agency. This article explains why.

I met the pedophile depicted in this featured photo early in my legal career. He raped each one of his three daughters on the day they became a teenager.  With this act, he killed their innocence.  Pedophilia is NOT a political issue.  It is a category of serious crimes that adults commit against children. Pedophilia kills the innocence of a child. It scars the victim for life. It results from our collective failure to safeguard and protect the most vulnerable members of s

In the face of Department of Justice-sanctioned vigilantism against Letitia James and Lisa Cook, National Democratic Party leaders have fallen silent. They are exhibiting extreme cowardice as the Donald Trump-inspired federal law enforcement posse engages in Lawfare against these iconic women. This failure of leadership has become a pattern and practice within the Party dating back to the DOJ's bogus business fraud case against distinguished investment banker Nathan A. Chap

The U.S. Department of Justice has acknowledged 1,000+ Epstein crime victims. President Donald Trump says the case is a "hoax." We believe the survivors! Trump's aggressive level of obstructionism in the case is the best evidence of his complicity in Epstein's child sex trafficking crimes.

Here is my Labor Day message for potential 2028 Democratic presidential candidates. I am not supporting any candidate who cannot get onboard with this political agenda.

Joe Biden’s Department of Justice prosecuted Baltimore state’s attorney Marilyn J. Mosby on trumped up mortgage fraud and perjury charges and secured convictions on both charges. Mosby was innocent of the charges against her, but this did not matter to Biden’s prosecutors. Donald Trump is using Biden's mortgage fraud playbook to go after New York Attorney General Letitia James and Federal Reserve Board member Lisa D. Cook on the same bogus charges. 

The Birmingham Black Barons of the Negro American League baseball teams was owned by Thomas Henry Hayes, Jr., a Memphis, Tennessee businessman and Watkins family friend. My early exposure to this business icon fueled my passion as a child to own a major league sports team. "If you can see it, you can be it." This article tells the incredible story of the first professional sports team owner I met.

Russian President Vladimir Putin seduced U.S. President Donald Trump into a state of impotency at the Alaska 2025 Summit by stroking Trump's oversized ego. By the end of the Summit, Putin, a designated war criminal with an outstanding arrest warrant, had reduced Trump to "bellhop" status. This article explores what happened at the Summit, and why.

President Donald Trump’s Department of Justice has waived key Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) regulations to make convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell immediately eligible for continuous 30-day furloughs, home detention, and early release from BOP custody. This article explains Maxwell's pathway to complete freedom by Christmas.

The race for president in 2028 has started.  President Donald Trump's victory in 2024 showed us the importance of campaigning 2 to 3 years early for the job.  My group of independent voters has begun to evaluate potential candidates. The qualities we seek in a candidate for are set forth in this article.

Israel uses its political clout in Washington to afford Orthodox Jews the legal protection needed to engage in a ritual that is unthinkable for most Americans. Specifically, Orthodox Jewish circumcisers (mohels) in America are allowed to suck the penis of male babies as part of a ritual called metzitzah b'peh (direct oral suction). What is more, Israel has become a sanctuary country for fugitive pedophiles who are fleeing criminal justice in other countries.
