7. President Joe Biden told one of his horribly telegraphed lies yesterday, this time he is lying about how he, “literally, not figuratively, talked Strom Thurmond into voting for the Civil Rights Act before he died.” U.S. Sen. Strom Thurmond (R-S.C.) voted against the bill and Joe Biden was in college when that vote took place.
6. Wind and rain from Hurricane Idalia will impact parts of Alabama. The state will likely avoid the worst but Alabama will more than likely avoid the most severe weather outside of the southeast portion of the state, central Alabama could get some rain bands BUT things can change so be weather aware.
5. Schools are starting to close as President Joe Biden still wants you to take a new vaccine and boosters, lockdowns and mask mandates are back but they don’t work and some of them could give you cancer.
4. Alabama is ready to go with the first nitrogen-based execution and some media outlets say that Alabama wants to be the first in the nation to pull it off. Neat.
3. In a move that surprises no one, the selection of former President Donald Trump’s trial date for absurd federal charges about the 2020 election will take place on the Monday before Super Tuesday. Trump is not happy, nor should he be.
2. In the first post-debate/post-mugshot polls, former President Donald Trump has lost some points but is still the far and away frontrunner. In worse news, Joe Biden is seen as “old” and Trump is seen as “corrupt,” and half want Trump to suspend his campaign.
1. Alabama voters are backing U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Auburn) after a poll shows only half of potential voters have even heard of the issue: 45% support Tuberville’s holds, 33% want him to give in to Biden because of the imaginary impact on “military readiness.” Support for abortion restrictions is favored in Alabama too with 40% support limiting abortion to the first 15 weeks of pregnancy with exceptions and 19% agreed with a total ban with no exceptions.
