7. Retired general suspended over comments on Jill Biden

• Retired Lieutenant General Gary Volesky was working as an HQE-SM, an adviser to active-duty officers, but has now been suspended after making a lightly critical comment toward first lady Jill Biden on Twitter.

• After Roe v. Wade was overturned, Biden stated, “For nearly 50 years, women have had the right to make our own decisions about our bodies. Today, that right was stolen from us.” Volesky responded online, saying, “Glad to see you finally know what a woman is.”

6. Hunter Biden leak has many revelations, including his son calling President Biden “Pedo Peter”

• President Joe Biden’s son continues to be a major source of embarrassment for the president. The latest alleged leak from Hunter Biden’s iCloud account has information on his drug use, frequenting of prostitutes and referring to the now-President of the United States as “Pedo Peter.”

• The source of the leak, message board 4chan, has taken the information down but not before it spread across the internet. The White House has not commented on the leak, and the American media (as usual) seem disinterested in the videos or data that is now publicly available. But, they are now intrigued by new texts about Hunter Biden’s thoughts on his step-mother, Jill Biden.

5. Police video protection law coming to Arizona

• A new law has passed in Arizona that prohibits individuals from recording law enforcement officers up close, specifically within eight feet, which seems reasonable. A more troubling part of the law also allows officers to order individuals to stop recording when an individual is on their own property, under certain circumstances, like if a police officer feels they are interfering or the area is not safe for people to be filming.

• Arizona State Representative John Kavanaugh (R) explained that this is to protect law enforcement from those who “have very poor judgment or sinister motives.” He went on to state the law “promotes everybody’s safety yet still allows people to reasonably videotape police activity as is their right.”

4. Alabama prepared for a possible recession

• State Senator Arthur Orr (R-Decatur) recently discussed the possibility of an economic recession in the United States and how Alabama could handle the situation. Orr stated that for now, the state financial position was in “excellent shape.”

• Orr went on to say, “We’re certainly ready for a storm, but to the extent and length of it, no one knows how bad it will be. But we’re certainly ready for this storm ahead.” He added, though, “If it goes on for years and years, where we have stagflation and economy in the brink, in the drink, just struggling for years, we too will struggle because the revenues will fall, and costs will certainly increase.”

3. Abortion boat — exciting and new

• According to reports, although this will never happen, San Francisco OB-GYN Dr. Meg Autry is planning to offer abortions in federal waters off the coast of Alabama through a floating abortion clinic. The clinic would be funded through the project called Protecting Reproductive Rights of Women Endangered by State Statutes.

• Autry said, “The project is being funded with philanthropy and the patients care is on a needs basis, so most individuals will pay little to nothing for services.” The floating clinic would be a boat in federal waters, and Autry’s goal is to offer abortion services to people in states that have abortion bans.

2. Biden could declare health emergency over abortion, (for little reason)

• President Joe Biden has indicated that he was considering declaring a public health emergency for abortion since several states have enforced abortion bans since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. Biden also encouraged people to “Keep protesting.” He added, “Keep making your point. It’s critically important. We can do a lot of things to accommodate the rights of women.”

• White House Gender Policy Council executive director Jen Klein previously stated that a public health emergency “doesn’t free very many resources” and “there’s very little money, tens of thousands of dollars in it.” She added that it “didn’t seem like a great option.” However, Biden advised that a public health emergency was still an option that his administration was still looking into.

1. Britt and Tuberville slam abortion executive order

• In response to abortion bans going into effect in states like Alabama, President Joe Biden signed a vague executive order that focuses on protecting medical abortions, emergency contraceptives, and reproductive education through Health and Human Services. 

• U.S. Senator Tommy Tuberville (R-Auburn) reacted to the executive order by saying, “Today’s executive order sends a clear message: when it comes to pushing his progressive agenda, Pres. Biden knows no boundaries.” Alabama’s likely next senator Katie Britt called it “sadly typical” of the Biden administration and added, “[T]hey routinely resort to blatant overreach and recklessly growing the size of unaccountable government bureaucracy because they can’t force their radical agenda through Congress.”
