7. It is not just the southern border seeing close to 7 million illegal immigrants cross the border, clogging up schools, shelters, and even airports. The northern border is porous as well with more crossings in 2023 than the last 10 years combined.
6. Mason Wayne Sisk, a family murdering 14-year-old psychopath, was sentenced to life in prison for the murder of his stepmother, Mary Sisk, 35, father, John Wayne Sisk, 38, half-brother Grayson, 6, half-sister Aurora, 4, and half-brother Colson, 6 months.
5. Tragedy in Orange Beach as a Cullman County sheriff’s deputy killed his co-worker-girlfriend after an argument and then killed himself. Cullman County Sheriff Matt Gentry said, “There are not enough words to express what she and her family mean to me. I am literally heartbroken. I feel like Lexi is one of my own kids.”
4. Clean Up Alabama was founded in August and is pushing for librarians to no longer be exempt from the Alabama Anti-Obscenity Enforcement Act. This is leading simpletons to suggest librarians could end up being jailed now, which is a bit of a telling accidental admission.
3. U.S. Rep. Barry Moore (R-Enterprise) is criticizing President Joe Biden and Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas for refusing to address the issues plaguing the southern border and for misleading Congress on how the government is handling the issue. Moore references how Mayorkas says that migrants who are a threat to national security are prioritized for removal but ignores that 120 illegals were smuggled into the country by someone with ISIS ties, claimed asylum, and then were all released.
2. U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Auburn) continues to be under constant attack by the media, the White House, and the U.S. military but he says this pressure is doing nothing to sway him and his constituents continue to support him. U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) says that Democrats must “turn up the heat” on Tuberville but Alabama’s senior senator, like Warren, has no reservations about what he is doing and doesn’t feel any pressure.
1. U.S. Sen. Katie Britt is co-sponsoring a bill that would place a ban on mask mandates from the federal government and rightly notes that these mandates harmed children: “Just look at the consequences our children faced, from devastating learning loss that put students years behind to deteriorating mental health in kids and teenagers. Enough is enough.”

7. The ISIS-K murderer of 13 Marines during President Joe Biden’s disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan has been killed by the Taliban, the U.S. was not involved.
6. U.S. Sen., and totally real Indian, Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) has decided to attack Alabama Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Auburn) for his hold on Defense Department promotions over DoD policy that violates federal law. Tuberville fired back stating, “It’s not about abortion. It’s not about the Dobbs decision. This is about a tyrannical executive branch walking all over the United States Senate.”
5. A bill that would clear the way for year-round schooling by allowing local schools to add 30 days to the school calendar will be considered by legislators. This could eliminate the summer “brain drain” but would greatly change the way schooling is done, so it seems unlikely any district would choose to do so.
4. A $3 billion General Fund budget was approved by the Alabama House by a 105-0 vote. Everyone gets more money with $112 million hike to the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency getting, $836 million more going to the Alabama Medicaid Agency, and a $662 million increase that will surely solve the issues with the Department of Corrections.
3. No debates for the Republican primary for president as frontrunner and former President Donald Trump tossed cold water on the Republican National Committee’s plans saying, “nobody got my approval, or the approval of the Trump Campaign, before announcing them.” Democrats already signaled their plans to avoid debates for their octogenarian candidate.
2. Alabama lawmakers respond to President Joe Biden’s sad announcement of his plans to run for re-election. Both U.S. senators say the nation can not afford 4 more years and other Alabama politicians worry about his re-election as well.
1. More confusing info has come out after a hearing surrounding the shooting at a Sweet 16 Party in Dadeville. The first sign of trouble came after a speaker fell, making a loud noise that led to people showing their guns. A mother told them to leave, and later shots rang out. A gun was found on the chest of one of the dead, Corbin Holston, investigators allege he was one of the shooters, and witnesses say he was wearing a ski mask and fired the first shots.

7. James O’Keefe removed from Project Veritas
- James O’Keefe, founder and CEO of Project Veritas, was removed last week from his position by the board of directors. He said, “I was stripped of all decision-making last week.” Executive Director Daniel Strack insists O’Keefe is still with the company and is currently taking PTO. There is no question that O’Keefe has been a key player in American politics for years.
- This comes following the investigation of a letter to the board signed by 16 staffers that alleges that O’Keefe was “cruel” and “James has become a power drunk tyrant and he is exactly who he pontificates on who we should be exposing.”
6. Just keep promising free stuff and more of it
- U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders, (I-Vt.), reintroduced the Social Security Expansion Act and was joined by several Democrats including Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass). This bill would raise the amount of money going to recipients by $200 a month.
- This increase would be funded by raising the income cap on Social Security. Currently, only $162,000 of income can be taxed for Social Security, but the bill would allow up to $250,000 of income to be taxed rather than raising the tax itself. Everyone knows Social Security is nearing insolvency and these politicians apparently want to speed that up.
5. Strike is over, workers heading back to the mines
- After no concessions from Warrior Met Coal, United Mine Workers of America’s striking workers are heading back to work here in Alabama with no new benefits, 23 months of missed pay, and broken spirits. This follows an unconditional offer to return to work in early March by the striking miners last week.
- The company responded by saying, “We have responded to the UMWA and asked for its cooperation and assistance so that we can begin the process for a safe and orderly return to work by those employees who have been on strike and have expressed a desire to return to work.” Now the workers will have to get a physical, drug screening, and safety training. The efforts to continue negotiations go on, but this severely weakens the union’s position.
4. MTG says we need a national divorce, many have said this before
- Because the Democrat party, the media, and some Republicans can not stand U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Green (R-Ga.), her every utterance is going to be treated as news and the dumber it is, the bigger news it will be. Taylor Greene’s suggestion we need a “national divorce” highlights the divide in our country and the reaction to her words kind of proves her correct.
- MTG is obviously not the first to say this. There have been books written about it, liberal TV shows have suggested it, polls suggest it is an idea many Americans support, including 41% of Biden voters. So enjoy the freakout, no one really means this.
3. Britt and Tuberville make the border crisis a priority
- Alabama’s U.S. Sens. Tommy Tuberville (R-Auburn) and Katie Britt (R-Montgomery) have introduced the Immigration Reform Act of 2023. It would more clearly define what is meant by “urgent humanitarian reason” or “significant public benefit,” reasons which the executive branch dictated should allow immigrants into the country on a case-by-case basis.
- Britt has also introduced the No Coyote Cash Act, which would create criminal penalties for those funding smugglers and illegal aliens. She has also pushed legislation that would punish distributors of fentanyl, the drug which according to federal estimates, “is killing an estimated 196 Americans each day.”
2. Is the black mayor of Montgomery racist? No, he’s a narcissist
- Montgomery Mayor Steven Reed (D) has been caught in a profanity-filled, narcissistic tirade about black voters, white money, and the economy of Montgomery. His office has not responded because he is probably right, he doesn’t “have to do no (profanity deleted) work.”
- In the audio, Reed allegedly says, “I can come smile — I don’t (profanity) have to do no (profanity) work. I don’t have to do no work systemically, and I’m going to be fine. And guess what? I will always get 38 to 45% of the white vote. If I can get 30 to 45% of the white vote, I don’t (profanity) have to get the black vote I got this past election. I’ll (profanity) win.” He’s right.
1. Biden goes to Ukraine, Trump going to East Palestine, Ohio
- While he fumbles issue after issue in the United States, President Joe Biden secretly visited Kyiv, Ukraine, to offer continued support to President Zelensky leading up to the one-year mark of Russia’s war against Ukraine. Biden said “Ukraine stands. Democracy stands. America — and the world — stands with Ukraine.” He also used a convenient air raid siren to make him look tough but CNN punked him out.
- Biden has been criticized for visiting another country to show them support, while he’s barely commented on the train derailment in Ohio, let alone visited. Meanwhile, his chief rival and former President Donald Trump will likely beat Biden to the site in East Palestine, Ohio.
7. Major broadband expansion coming
-
$26.6 million in grants have been awarded by Gov. Kay Ivey to expand broadband access in Alabama, meaning that there would be more broadband access for about 15,000 more households and facilities in the state.
-
Ivey said in her announcement, “Alabama continues to make strides in providing reliable high-speed internet services for families and businesses throughout Alabama. I extend my thanks to legislators who realize the importance and the huge impact that access to broadband services mean for Alabama. I also thank the service providers for their willingness to be part of this mission to change the lives of Alabamians.”
6. The BCA will honor Shelby
-
An “Evening for Progress” event will be held by the Business Council of Alabama as a way to honor the accomplishments and service of U.S. Sen. Richard Shelby (R-Tuscaloosa), and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has been announced as a guest at the event.
-
BCA Board Chairman Mike Kemp has announced the event and stated, “Senator Shelby has been a visionary leader in forging a 21st century Alabama economy through pro-growth, pro-jobs policies and strategic investments in our state’s future. Senator Shelby’s determination and focus has transformed possibilities into life-changing realities for Alabamians in every corner of our state.”
5. Warren is concerned a recession is looming, but we are already there
-
As interest rates have increased and inflation is still at a 40-year high, U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) has expressed concern on CNN’s “State of the Union” over the inflation rates leading to a new recession in the country’s economy.
-
Warren said she’s “very worried about this because the causes of inflation … things like the fact that COVID is still shutting down parts of the economy around the world, that we still have supply kinks, that we will have a war going on in Ukraine that drives up the cost of energy, and that we will still have these giant corporations that are engaging in price gouging. There is nothing in raising the interest rates, nothing in Jerome Powell’s tool bag, that deals directly with those, and he has admitted as much in congressional hearings when I’ve asked him about it.”
4. The NASA Artemis launch is temporarily scrubbed
-
NASA’s Space Launch System was scheduled to launch today. But because of an engine problem, the first of three flights in the Artemis missions was scrubbed. Even Bruce Pearl and Nick Saban offered praise for the mission, with Saban saying, “This first step to landing astronauts, including the first woman and the first person of color on the surface of the moon, is an inspiration to all of us. God speed Artemis and Roll Tide.”
-
This flight is a test and is unmanned, aside from a few test dummies on board, and will orbit the moon before returning to earth. The two following missions will be manned, with the third mission landing on the moon. On Sunday, there was a thunderstorm while the rocket sat on the launchpad and was struck by lightning five times, but NASA has said that these strikes did not damage the rocket. NASA said the earliest availability for a launch is Friday.
3. You’ve heard this before, Trump is allegedly in trouble
-
Lots of speculation over the weekend, former Trump lawyer Alan Dershowitz says Trump won’t be indicted but legally should be, Fox News’ legal expert Mike Davis says no crime was committed, and national security attorney Brandon Moss says, “I have finally seen enough. Donald Trump will be indicted by a federal grand jury.”
- All of this speculation is from the usual sources telling us what they see from their perspective, those insisting this is the end, have claimed the end was nigh a million times. But, if this is the time they actually indict him, U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) offered a warning for where we might be headed, “there will be riots in the streets.”
2. Some in Alabama are happy to see loan forgiveness
-
The student loan forgiveness plan that President Joe Biden has announced has been largely unpopular with Republicans. Alabama Democrats such U.S. Rep. Terri Sewell (D-Birmingham) had already expressed her glee saying, “This is welcome news for so many Alabamians who are being crushed by student loans,” and now Alabama Commission on Higher Education Executive Director Jim Purcell has stated his support for the plan and touted that it’ll help the state economy.
-
Purcell said, “These individuals would no longer have to pay that obligation and perhaps would be looking for other things to spend on,” for how the plan will help the economy. Purcell later added that debt forgiveness might not have happened if not for the pandemic, saying, “I don’t think it would have been a conversation that would have been taken into action unless we had the pandemic.”
1. Medicaid expansion is concerning
-
House Majority Leader Nathaniel Ledbetter (R-Rainsville) has discussed the possibility of Medicaid expansion being considered in the 2023 legislative session, expressing his concern over expansion costs.
-
Ledbetter said that “The expansion of Medicaid scares me from the standpoint of we know how much it went up when I first went into office. We’ve seen every year incremental high increases in that in our budgets … so, I think we’ve got to be cautious about that because what will happen if it is all thrown on taxpayers’ lap and will wind up not being able to fund everything we need to fund. I do think there has to be some adjustments, and I think there are ways to do it.”
U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) has taken a strange position towards pregnancy centers in the United States.
Warren has been pushing for the federal government to shut them down.
Yes, these clinics are pro-life, and they want women to choose options other than abortion, but this is their First Amendment in action.
Any attempt to shut them down shows that the pro-choice movement is just radically pro-abortion.

MSNBC’s Joy Reid has a problem with the world’s richest man, Elon Musk, calling U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) “Senator Karen.”
She addresses it by implying the term is a slur that only black people can use, but it’s a slur she herself has used.
Great point?

7. Prisons are losing workers as they’re trying to hire more
- The Alabama prisons system was ordered to hire more correctional workers and other employees, but now as prisons are already understaffed, they’re losing workers. Throughout the pandemic, employment in prisons has decreased.
- The Alabama Department of Corrections was already reporting a 50% vacancy rate with employees in June 2020, with 1,914 correctional officers, and as of June 2021, that vacancy rate had changed to 52% with only 1,837 employees. The department said in a statement, “[C]orrectional and law enforcement organizations across the nation are struggling to fill vacant positions due to the challenging/stressful nature of the work and evolving cultural influences.”
6. Ivey and Rice are talking about economic development
- The Alabama Innovation Corporation board of directors has been announced, and at the announcement, Governor Kay Ivey and former U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice discussed economic development in the state.
- Ivey mentioned how the commission “has done incredible work,” adding, “[A]nd I look forward to working with the Alabama Legislature and the Alabama Innovation Corporation to help Alabama reach new heights.” Rice spoke about Alabama’s future, saying, “The Hoover Institution will continue to partner with the state and the Alabama Innovation Corporation to support this initiative as Alabama continues to push for strengthening its economy so life can be good for all Alabamians.”
5. Warren is putting support behind miners on strike
- Miners from Warrior Met Coal are still on strike in Alabama, and now, U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) has thrown her support behind those who have now been on strike for nine months. Warren has been pushing for legislation that would benefit workers like these Alabama miners.
- The “Stop Wall St. Looting Act” specifically would take aim at equity. Warren outlined, “What happened with Warrior Met is what happens when these billion dollar Wall Street firms come to town. They suck as much as they can out of these companies to line their own pockets, and it comes at the expense of workers and communities.”
4. Omicron is almost everywhere, Alabama health officials await its arrival
- Cases of the coronavirus have increased since the Thanksgiving holiday, but the state has not seen a single case of the Omicron variant yet. It’s been reported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) that the Omicron variant of the coronavirus has been found in at least 35 states so far.
- It appears that the Omicron variant might be more contagious than previous variants, but a vast majority of cases have been mild and not required hospitalization. There are only about 189 cases of the variant in the country, though.
3. Mike Ball speaks out on Alabama Memorial Preservation Act
- State Representative Mike Ball (R-Madison) has recently spoken up against the Alabama Memorial Preservation Act and said that it’s not what the state should be focused on. The measure has been under criticism for the last few years since it prevents local governments from removing any monuments or renaming certain streets that have been there for more than 40 years.
- The act mostly impacts Confederate monuments. Ball said the passing of the Alabama Memorial Preservation Act “went way, way too far in this state, sanctifying these monuments. And they even went way farther than that. They took away naming rights of schools from school boards. And you know, it was a huge departure from bottom-up governance, which is one of the principles the founders of our country put in place. We need to get back to the American Revolution as opposed to staying in the Civil War.”
2. Debt ceiling has been raised
- Because both parties’ reckless and never-ending spending can’t continue unless the debt ceiling is raised, a bipartisan effort to raise it has been successful in the U.S. Senate and is headed to the House of Representatives where it will surely be successful as well.
- The 50-49 party-line vote is a mirage by moderate Republicans who sided with Democrats to change the vote to raise the debt limit to a simple majority vote. Surely, this will be the last time this has to happen and responsible government and sanity should return any minute now, but this limit is expected to not be surpassed until 2023.
1. Inflation continues while the White House blames “greed of meat conglomerates”
- Inflation over the last 12 months for producers just hit 9.6% year-on-year, the largest increase on record over the last 11 years, when the system that measures it was changed. This follows reports that consumer inflation is also up higher than it has been since November 1982.
- The Biden administration realizes that this is being caused by the federal government’s unquenchable lust for more spending and knows it is not helping their case for another $1.75 billion in a Democrat wishlist of social spending. Because they need to spin this, White House press secretary Jen Psaki answered a question about rising prices by blaming the greed of meat producers in this country. She said it was the “greed of meat conglomerates,” adding, “[C]orporate greed is a big driver of inflation right now.” Democrats have poll-tested this tactic and are now rolling it out.
U.S. Senator Doug Jones (D-AL) on Wednesday voted to rename every item in the American military that gets its name from a member of the Confederate Army.
The United States has 10 army bases named after Confederate leaders, including Fort Rucker in Alabama, and they would all be renamed if the amendment stays on the final bill. The amendment for which Jones voted goes further and would rename things like ships, buildings and streets.
The vote was first reported by Roll Call.
Jones’ vote came during a meeting of the Senate Armed Services Committee, where Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) proposed an amendment to the annual defense bill that would retitle every military asset named after a member of the confederacy.

SELMA — Former New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg, who is currently seeking the Democratic Party’s nomination for president, received the cold shoulder from some attendees at Brown Chapel AME Church in Selma on Sunday.
Bloomberg, along with every major Democratic contender except U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), was in Selma for the 55th anniversary of the infamous Bloody Sunday events when peaceful protesters seeking equal rights for black Americans were beaten by white police officers on the Edmund Pettus Bridge. The anniversary has been deemed the “Selma Bridge Crossing Jubilee” by the event’s organizers.
Several people taking in one of the day’s main ceremonies at Brown Chapel AME stood and turned their backs to Bloomberg in protest when he was speaking from the pulpit.
The pastor leading the service asked the group that stood to return to their seats after they had been standing for about two minutes. The protesters did so promptly and were never loud or disruptive. (more…)
7. And they call Trump a tyrant
- Notorious liar U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) has a plan to combat disinformation that is ridiculous, scary and almost certainly unconstitutional as it would set up a government entity to police speech and declare which speech is “acceptable.”
- In a statement, Warren said, “I will push for new laws that impose tough civil and criminal penalties for knowingly disseminating this kind of information, which has the explicit purpose of undermining the basic right to vote.” These laws are the criminalization of speech at the discretion of those in power.

7. A fire in Jackson County could have multiple fatalities
- Nine people are unaccounted for after a massive overnight fire at Jackson County Park in Scottsboro destroyed 35 boats and sent seven others to the hospital.
- It is unclear if those seven unaccounted for were on the boats at the time of the fire that started at 12:40 a.m. on Monday and was still being fought in the early morning. Officials said the fire started close to shore, which made it difficult to fight.
6. Kobe Bryant dead at 41 (more…)
7. Some seem to want paroles sped up
- After it was found that the Alabama Bureau of Pardons and Paroles was not following its own rules, pardons were stopped and then slowed. Now, some lawmakers seem to want that process to speed up, but the current leader doesn’t seem so keen on that idea, even though it isn’t his role.
- When Director Charlie Graddick spoke to lawmakers Thursday, Sen. Cam Ward (R-Alabaster) and Sen. Bobby Singleton (D-Greensboro) questioned the policy changes and the slowdown in paroles.
6. Alabama teen kills three family members and then goes to school (more…)
7. Biden leading in the polls
- A new Iowa poll conducted by Monmouth University shows that former Vice President Joe Biden is still polling in first at 24%, U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) is at 18% and former South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg is at 17%.
- U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) is in fourth with 15%, while several points behind is U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) at 8%. U.S. Sen. Cory Booker and billionaire Tom Steyer are tied at 4%, but Booker has since ended his campaign.
6. Saudi students have been expelled (more…)
Matters of foreign policy are complicated. We all know things can turn on a dime as the situation on the ground changes.
Democrats are seemingly having a hard time understanding exactly who Iranian General Qasem Soleimani is and why we did what we did to him.
Let me help: he was a terrorist leader with military rank and was part of a terrorist nation’s armed forces. He was a bad guy, a murderer and a man responsible for the deaths of American soldiers. He would still be planning new attacks today if he wasn’t blown to pieces by the United States of America. (more…)
7. Journalists at Northwestern have lost their minds
- Northwestern University campus newspaper The Daily Northwestern reported on former U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions speaking at a Young Republicans meeting at the university, and now the newspaper has issued an apology.
- The apology, which was crushed by actual journalists, stated, “We recognize that we contributed to the harm students experienced, and we wanted to apologize for and address the mistakes that we made that night — along with how we plan to move forward.” The apology added how they realized that some of the pictures posted of protesters at the event were “retraumatizing and invasive.”

7. The gas tax is “working”
- The Alabama Department of Transportation and Governor Kay Ivey have released a list of the current road projects in the state that will be funded by the increased gas tax.
- A total of 28 city and county road projects will be funded with $30.1 million. The projects must begin within the next two years but are expected to start next year.

7. Alabama A&M coach not taking the team back to UNA
- Connell Maynor, the Alabama A&M football coach, has said that he and his team were treated poorly while visiting the University of North Alabama for their game over the weekend, mentioning, “This ain’t 1959. We don’t have to put up with that type of stuff.”
- While Maynor didn’t specifically say what happened, he stated, “There was too much stuff that went on off the field, behind the scenes that was not professional on their part at all. And we were very, very disappointed in the way they treated us, in every aspect off the field.”

7. Beer-drinking non-student gets Alabama professor suspended
- Professor Joel Strayer was teaching a supply chain management class when Trevor Nappier, a student at Illinois State University, took out a beer and chugged it near a garbage can in the classroom. The professor’s crime was saying, “I am impressed,” and later adding, “I love it.”
- As if the ridiculous suspension wasn’t enough, and he is gone for the semester, UA officials visited the professor’s classes and explained to them what was going on but wouldn’t answer more questions about the matter.

7. Everything you are hearing about the rainforest is wrong
- Celebrities, politicians and the media have gotten most of their information about the rainforest wrong as they attempt to bring needed attention to the fires that are raging in the Amazon.
- “One of the world’s leading Amazon forest experts,” Dan Nepstad, told Forbes the claim that the rainforest operates as the “lungs of the earth” is not true at all. “There’s no science behind that. The Amazon produces a lot of oxygen but it uses the same amount of oxygen through respiration so it’s a wash,” he stated.
6. Trump/China uncertainty is not good for anyone (more…)
7. How romantic
- Starting on August 29, Alabama will no longer issue marriage licenses. Couples will now just have to submit a notarized marriage certificate that will be recorded by probate judges instead of being issued by probate judges.
- Madison County Probate Judge Frank Barger said that this new process means people don’t have to get a license “in advance and a ceremony is no longer required, although couples may certainly have a ceremony if they wish.”
6. No more Moore, please (more…)
Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), a 2020 presidential candidate, is using the weekend mass shootings in El Paso, TX, and Dayton, OH, to raise money for Senator Doug Jones’ (D-AL) reelection bid.
Town Hall reported that Warren was among a number of Democratic candidates and organizations, including Senator Kamala Harris (D-CA) and the DNC, that solicited political contributions off of the two shootings.
Warren’s email began, “Yesterday, we woke up to the second mass shooting in just as many days. I’m heartbroken for El Paso and Dayton, and to all the families who have just endured unimaginable loss.”
After advocating for gun control measures, Warren’s email arrived at its call to action. (more…)
7. A North Carolina gun shop is about to do a lot of business
- Cherokee Guns posted a billboard that featured the four members of “The Squad,” U.S. Representatives Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) and Rashida Talib (D-MI), which states, “The 4 Horsemen Cometh are Idiots. Signed, the Deplorables.”
- Of course, the billboard has already been called “dangerous” by the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence due to the “disgusting anti-government violent rhetoric,” as well as mentioning that threats against minority members of Congress are rising, but despite the controversy, Cherokee Guns hasn’t backed down. Now, they’re also offering “The 4 Horsemen cometh” bumper stickers.
6. More “no collusion” (more…)
The phrase “Damn, Democrats got it good” is a phrase I have used on my radio show for years. I don’t think I made it up, but I don’t know where I heard it or some variation of the phrase. If there was a better way to summarize the way America’s mainstream media treats Republicans versus the way they treat Democrats, I don’t know what it is.
In the past week alone, Democrats rolled out a completely insane “Green New Deal,” had three leaders in one state embroiled in sex abuse or racial scandals while Democrats pretended they had no idea what was going on, had one their darlings uttering every anti-Semitic trope she can think of short of calling them “hook-nosed” and a presidential candidate has been busted lying about her heritage for decades to get a boost.
