7. Iran and the U.S. have entered into some deal that will allow 5 prisoners to be placed under house arrest. The Biden administration says that the Iran Nuclear Deal is still in place but money and prisoners could be released to Iran soon.

6. While former President Donald Trump did not appear in court Thursday, he was golfing, he pleaded not guilty to the latest charges surrounding the Mar-A-Lago documents issue. On the 2020 election matter, his court date could be set for January 2, 2024 today.

5. Former U.S. Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Huntsville) continues to reiterate that former President Donald Trump was making it clear he wanted the 2020 election overturned, backing the claims now being made by former Vice President Mike Pence.

3. Riverboat crew, captain, a guy breaking up the fight, and a member of the crew’s mother are now in full dispute over whether there was racism at play in the Riverfront Rumble. Now, a woman, 21-year-old Mary Todd, has now been arrested for hitting the riverboat captain in the throat while holding a beer in her hand.

2. The anger toward U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Auburn) has manifested itself in an attack that he does not live in the state. He says he lives in a house with his wife and son on the deed, and this unproven claim has already been brought to the attention of the voters.

1. The evidence continues to mount on the Biden Crime Syndicate with a new photo of then-Vice President Joe Biden on Air Force 2 with one of Hunter Biden’s then-business partners on his way to Ukraine. This was before he threatened to hold back U.S. aid if a prosecutor Biden’s son and business associates wanted fired was not fired (he was). House Republican Conference Chair Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) called it a “damning photo.”
