7. In Alabama, predators can still give out candy on Halloween, but don’t worry -scary Halloween stories are overblown

— In some areas of the country, law enforcement is working to stop sex offenders from interacting with kids on Halloween. Alabama is not one of those places because it’s not illegal for them to participate.

— There are no credible reports of weirdos poisoning kids on Halloween. The only known report of a poisoning occurred in 1974 when a man poisoned and killed his own son. There are more incidents of people sticking items in kids candy but that is rare, too.

6. Democratic nominee for Alabama’s 5th Congressional district Peter Joffrion’s gun control includes a ban magazines that hold over five rounds

— When speaking on gun violence, Joffrion falsely stated Tuesday, “Hunters aren’t allowed to have unlimited capacities” before continuing that modern magazines hold too many rounds. He eventually settled, saying, “I think ten is too many. I think five is fine.”

— If Joffrion’s gun control proposal ever became a reality, it could mean a ban on six-shooters and pretty much every magazine in use in Alabama and around the country.

5. An attempted plot to accuse special counsel Robert Mueller of sexual misconduct has been referred to the Department of Justice

— Journalists tipped off the special counsel’s office after a conservative lobbyist approached women offering them money to allege that Mueller had been inappropriate with them.

4. Migrant caravan continues through Mexico and a new caravan crashes through the gates — Shots are fired, and authorities warn of Molotov cocktails

— As the media pretends the migrant caravan is non-existent and not a threat, its leaders are demanding safe and dignified transport to Mexico’s capital city.

— As another caravan forms, Mexico’s immigration officials stand by why they crash the gates of their country, while Honduran officials arrest multiple people for shooting at the authorities.

3. Protesters show up when the president goes to Pittsburgh to a memorial of a slaughter

— The leader of the synagogue that was attacked over the weekend welcomed the president of the United States to Pittsburgh to help the community grieve. Other groups and politicians demanded he refrained from coming, saying he has to denounce white nationalists first.

— A large group of 2,000 ghoulish protesters showed up chanting, “Words have meaning,” and “We build bridges, not walls,” making this a run of the mill political protest outside a memorial for 11 people slaughtered by a madman.

2. Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall plans to defend a bill that could lead to a Roe v. Wade challenge

— Marshall made it clear that he intends to file a petition to get the case of West Alabama Women’s Center v. Williamson before the Supreme Court. This case challenged Alabama’s abortion dismemberment law and could set up a bigger legal challenge to abortion restrictions.

— Whether or not this case ends up overturning Roe v. Wade is unknown, but expect more of these cases being attempted to be brought before the new Supreme Court with Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh on the bench.

1. Opinions differ on whether President Trump can end birthright citizenship on his own

— President Trump seems to want to channel his predecessor and attempt a massive change to American immigration law through executive order. His plan to curtail birthright citizenship will be challenged before the Supreme Court and unlike his travel ban, most seem to believe it has little chance of surviving.

— Alabama Congressmen Mo Brooks (R-Huntsville) and Bradley Byrne (R-Fairhope) both appeared on separate radio shows yesterday voicing support for the president’s hardline stance on immigration but they each questioned his ability to pull it off.
