Let’s face the facts: money wins elections. Sometimes the best man does not win, especially when only 10 percent of the voting public decides who wins and all the rest just bitch. Sheriff Anthony Lowery will not be able to change the embedded corrupt culture of the BCSO. He had five times the money of his opponent Matt McKenzie. Lowery couldn’t stand in McKenzie’s shade but money and GOB control prevailed. Lowery had former Sheriff Hoss Mack turning over every rock he could. Mack will be Lowery’s downfall and is responsible for the total lack of transparency and accountability of the BCSO. When a sheriff's office investigates itself and always "justifies its actions" it loses the public’s confidence. When innocent people lose their lives or are sent to jail, it’s only a matter of time before public opinion will prevail.
Three members of the City of Orange Beach council have filed a formal ethics complaint against Mayor Tony Kennon, alleging conflicts of interest, improper influence over council decisions, threats directed toward elected officials, and failures related to transparency and disclosure of information.
Today we look into the Slander of Podcast Host and Baldwin County Attorney Harry Still by City of Orange Beach Officials at the time of his arrest (when he was assaulted by Bay Minette City Councilman Matt Franklin) and the idiot local newscasters who will repeat anything from any source. We then lament the Primary Election results. The Deal or No Deal with Iran and the scandal that is the new appointments to the PSC. Tubberville and Roy Moore have lawsuits, Tony Kennon has ethics problems, and Prichard Cops are corrupt, clutching my pearls.
This is an excellent article, everyone should read it. The facts show how an attorney can manipulate the legal system. How an unethical attorney can bend the rules and even present false evidence. It also presents a picture about judicial appointments and then professes that no conflict of interest exists while our common sense suspects potential favoritism among Judges and attorneys. It shows greed and a disdain for a true sense of justice. More than anything else it puts a spotlight on an attorney that would seek to take an innocent 98 year old woman’s house while she is battling dementia.
On September 3 2025 Harry Still, a practicing attorney, was arrested on a misdemeanor charge in Bay Minette. A charge that usually requires the arresting officer to witness, which did not happen. The incident was a skirmish between two men who have known each other since childhood. Matt Franklin, a Bay Minette city councilman, was the other individual. This minor incident escalated when the Bay Minette Police decided to file a motion in circuit court to have Still committed to a mental institution. Circuit Court Judge Scott Tayor dismissed the motion.
Today we are joined by Master Herbalist Darryl Patton and author of the much sought after "Mountain Medicine: The Herbal Remedies of Tommy Bass". Darryl was Tommy's apprentice and the book is a lot more than a book of potions, it is an anthropological treasure right up there with "Travels" by William Bartram, Bass having learned from an old Cherokee woman. So we talk magnolia bark (benzo-ish), buckeye (poison but used for circulatory issues), green briar (root beer) , cross vine (Amphetamine -ish), and other pharmacologically important plants native to Alabama. How to make your own yerba mate (Club Mate) from yaupon holly , the coming Tuesday Run-Off, and Ice Cream Shops I like in Bay Minette, Alabama are all on the table so grab some popcorn.
We are joined by Republican Candidate Elect Danielle Duggar, the brave soul who took on the establishment candidate Attorney and Lollipop Guild Member Rep Matt Simpson, Esq and beat him by a couple of votes. A hard fought victory. Next we discuss the NOT GUILTY verdict by a Baldwin County Jury on Thursday in the City of Bay Minette v Harry Still III for assaulting Bay Minette City Council Member Matthew J Franklin. Turns out Still was telling the truth all along. And after six years of genealogy research (The Tensaw Country North of The Ellicott Line by Charles Bryant should be burned for all it's inaccuracies) I found my "Ark of the Covenant", David Tate, Ward of President George Washington, brother of Red Eagle, son of Sehoy II of the Wind Clan (VLV). And stick around for the Mid-Day Mobile interview with Sean Sullivan at FM talk 106.5.
One day to go for the primary elections. Please vote and ask your neighbors as well to vote. CONGRATULATIONS to all the hard working candidates who knocked on hundreds of doors and participated in countless venues. Constituents should consider how many in office had the help of PAC’S and free money from lobbyists, who paid for and all those costly fliers. This is your opportunity to force term limits on career politicians that have become deaf to the voices that elect them.
