7. For some reason, Mobile is sending five mounted officers to Oxford this weekend as Lane Kiffin and LSU roll into Ole Miss; meanwhile, in Alabama, Auburn hosts 2-0 Florida in what some are calling “the most significant Tigers home game in years,” which “has the chance to dramatically raise the ceiling of both programs.”
6. A Cygnal poll of 400 likely Montgomery voters found Probate Judge J.C. Love beating Mayor Steven Reed 46.6% to 37.5% head-to-head, with 44.5% naming crime the top concern versus 12.6% for education, as Love said residents “feel unsafe” and Reed dismissed a survey “one year out” as not meaning “a whole lot.”
5. A Decatur police officer was placed on administrative duty after the department learned of alleged Flock camera misuse, with Chief Torry Mack saying officers are “entrusted with sensitive tools and significant authority” and that trust “carries a duty to use both responsibly.”
4. Governor-elect National Championship-winning Coach U.S. Senator Tommy Tuberville (R-Auburn) and future U.S. Senator and U.S. Rep. Barry Moore (R-Enterprise) ranked first on the Immigration Accountability Project’s congressional scorecard and earned 100% A+ marks from NumbersUSA, with Tuberville saying, “Border security is NATIONAL SECURITY, and I will always fight to keep Alabamians safe.”
3. U.S. Sen. Katie Britt (R-Montgomery) is arguing, “There is no doubt that we must win the AI race” against China while insisting “we want to make sure that these are safe,” arguing Congress should find a middle ground so innovation happens “on our shores” rather than being pushed to “our greatest adversary.”
2. Economic numbers bring positive news, as U.S. median household income rose to $87,460 in 2025, up $2,250 from 2024 after inflation, and the official poverty rate fell to a record 10.2%, even as that rate still excludes about 90 percent of welfare spending as income, while Atlanta Fed GDPNow jumped to 5.1% for a single quarter, other positive numbers show migration turned net negative for the first time in 50 years, and a record Venezuelan oil is moving and “100% of ALL net job creation to Americans.”
1. Alabama regular gas averages $3.94 a gallon and diesel $6.04 today, up 76% from $3.43 a year ago, squeezing drivers and truckers, as Doug Jones, the cowardly caretaker former junior senator in an ill-fitting suit, who looks like he just woke up and stole his shoes from a homeless person, who will never be governor, attorney general, or U.S. Senator again, and loves crushing ice cream sandwiches, wants a freeze of the 10-cent Rebuild Alabama fuel-tax hike and called the spike “a direct reflection of the policies of Trump enabled by” Governor-elect National Championship-winning Coach U.S. Senator Tommy Tuberville (R-Auburn).
