7. The media and their Democrats have crossed another line that most people thought would never be crossed, regardless of their obvious bias. They are now blatantly pre-submitting questions for President Joe Biden. This has now been laid bare by the appearance of notes with names, pictures, and questions that Biden held at a press conference. These press conferences are now scripted theater.
6. Former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley, candidate for Vice President if Donald Trump wins the GOP nomination, has sided with Disney in its fight with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis over special treatment and their support for woke policies.
5. Overtime workers in Alabama may soon have more incentives to put in those hours if House Minority Leader Anthony Daniels (D-Huntsville) gets his way and the state stops taxing those hours. The bill has bipartisan support and, if it does pass, Alabama would become the first state in the nation to do this.
4. A bill proposed by U.S. Sen. Katie Britt (R-Montgomery) would require social media companies to use age verification measures to make sure children 13-17 years old have parental permission to be on social media. It would also forbid the sites from using algorithms to feed these children content. The Alabama House is working on a porn filter ban, as well.
3. U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Auburn) says he isn’t so sure that the reports that the Taliban killed the ISIS-K member responsible for the attack on U.S. service members as Afghanistan was deteriorating can be trusted. Tuberville also slammed the national media, saying they can not be trusted to provide information.
2. Alabama Republicans found a new way to kill school choice: Assign it to the Alabama Senate Education Policy, hold a public hearing, don’t vote on school choice, and then assign it to the Senate Finance and Taxation Education Committee. The end of this will be Alabama Republicans declaring they run out of time because they were all educated by Alabama’s failed education system and can’t read a calendar.
1. The first step toward extending the debt ceiling has been taken with the U.S. House of Representatives passing the plan pushed by House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.). All of Alabama’s Republicans voted to raise the debt-ceiling with the dead-on-arrival proposal in the U.S. Senate. Democrats will probably declare that the bill means Republicans want to melt your bones and kill kids but it is meant to start talks with President Joe Biden.
