I didn't get to know John Folsom until he had retired from his education career. I moved to Brewton in 1984 and moved to Flomaton in 1989. But I heard the stories about Folsom long before I met him. Folsom died Monday in a healthcare facility in Daphne, Ala., but his legacy as a tough-love educator will be remembered forever by those who went to school under his watch. I've written a lot of stories about people who have died and the impact they left on the lives they touched. I've heard the...
Have you ever just walked up to a cop and said 'Thank you' for the job they do? Most of us haven't.

Folks, Trump has appointed and gotten confirmed two members of the Supreme Court in two years. This is a remarkable achievement. Justices Neal Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh will have an immense impact on American laws and values f...
Around since the 1980s, the concept of “toxic masculinity” only gained any traction the last few years as the denigration of anything male became hip in pop culture. Toxic masculinity is the idea that raw manliness or man in his natural state is dangerous to society or simply toxic. The term “masculinity” used here is confusing or probably misplaced.
