7. People really wanted to watch Alabama football, it didn’t hurt that another big controversial brand was taking them on in the Rose Bowl. Eventually, 32.8 million people would watch the very close overtime College Football Playoff game – it was the largest college football audience since the 2018 National Championship, the top non-NFL sporting event on TV since 2018, and a top-10 event in all-time cable viewership.
6. U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Auburn) isn’t buying the “resignation” of former Harvard President Claudine Gay mostly because it isn’t really a resignation. The media and their Democrats continue to defend her terrible behavior while making conservatives the bad guys.
5. Many U.S. state capitols received bomb threats yesterday, but not Alabama (which angered some people for some reason). Meanwhile, California’s legislature faced pro-Palestinian protestors who staged a massive protest at California’s capitol which forced the ending of the workday for the session.
4. Alabama is still prepping to kill a murderer with nitrogen gas, the same method used in Switzerland’s newest suicide pods. United Nations experts, fresh off their organization’s support of Hamas, says the death is humiliating, cruel, and inhumane.
3. The mess in Decatur over the police-involved shooting of Steve Perkins continues with terrible lawyers arguing that protests must be allowed to continue no matter what and no matter where. Now random citizens threatening the city council and general spinelessness from the elected officials in the city are making things far worse.
2. Lots of expectations for the Jeffrey Epstein list, it will disappoint because both former presidents Bill Clinton and Donald Trump are mentioned in the documents but not accused of wrongdoing. As the first batch was announced, it was reported that Clinton allegedly “like them young” and that Trump was mentioned in the documents as being invited to a casino and another mention noted a girl said she was not asked to have sex with Trump.
1. While members of Congress are at the border watching illegal immigrants cross, the issues are flooding cities big and small with the Biden administration suing to make it worse while alleging the GOP is “exacerbating” it. Suburban liberals in New York and Illinois are now feeling the brunt and actively looking to turn away the fruits of the terrible voting patterns but U.S. Rep. Gary Palmer (R-Hoover) warns this could have impacts on the census in the future.
