7. 2018 GOP candidate for governor and multi-term successful mayor of Huntsville Tommy Battle is running for re-election by touting the continuing success of the growing Alabama city. Huntsville is Alabama’s largest city and Battle touted the city’s 14 straight Triple-A bond ratings; 41,000 jobs created; 1.7% unemployment rate; $1 billion spent on roads, and all the lists touting Huntsville as the best place to live, work, and play.
6. As predicted, national Democrats and LGBTQ groups are now trying to pump money into a special Alabama election involving a male-to-female transgender person running for the State House. These groups want a “first” very badly but establishment Democrats in Alabama want to stop that.
5. Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall is warning that, if the border is not secured, we are inviting terrorist killers onto American soil since we have let millions illegal immigrants into the country since President Joe Biden came into office. Marshall says, “Crime is on the forefront of every American’s mind, and with illegal aliens flooding through Biden’s porous border, the administration has likely invited cartel members, traffickers, and terrorists into our backyard.”
4. Carlee Russell sparked a hunt for her, a super-fast toddler, and whoever may have abducted her after she stupidly staged an abduction. Now, a judge in Birmingham wants her to spend a year in jail and pay an $18,000 fine after being found guilty. Seems about right.
3. Facing unclever Internet trolls, a hateful former head of the CIA, and absurd reporters-turned-useful idiots, U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville continues to push back on claims he is harming military readiness but the rhetoric continues. On a new front, geniuses at Newsweek found a video of Tuberville falling down 9 years ago, this has caused quite the gleeful reaction from people who defend President Joe Biden falling down all the time.
2. The American media and their Democrats are having a hard time coming to grips with the rising anti-Semitism and Palestinian support in their ranks. MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell had the gall to ask a woman with children who were abducted into Gaza, and now face certain death, how she feels about Gaza being bombed while a normally preening U.S. Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) couldn’t be bothered to condemn the vile words of his colleagues.
1. There is still no Speaker of the House, even though U.S. Rep. Steve Scalise (R-La.) is leading the way with a victory in the closed-door caucus meeting. Scalise beat Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) and a vote was set for yesterday but some Republicans are throwing a wrench in those plans. Alabama’s U.S. Rep. Barry Moore (R-Enterprise) is one of many still voting for Jordan even as Jordan plans to nominate Scalise.
