7. A 17-year-old transgender school shooter has killed a 6th-grader, injured 5 other students, and killed himself in Perry, Iowa; the mourning will start for the shooter soon. Expect the gender-identity delusion to be downplayed and the typical “Republicans pounce” narrative to emerge.
6. U.S. Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Saks) has had enough of the United Nations pretending they care about the Alabama inmate set to be killed by nitrogen hypoxia. Rogers tweeted, “China unjustly executes thousands per year, including nonviolent offenders, all while committing genocide. So naturally, the UN Human Rights Council is focusing their efforts on stopping a humane method of execution on a convicted murderer in Alabama.”
5. Charges for a police officer in Decatur are expected to be filed today, the charge will reportedly be murder for the Sept. 29 killing of Steve Perkins outside his home. The case has led to months of protests, memorial silliness, and threats. Police were alerted to Perkins threatening a tow truck driver with a gun and returned to the scene with the tow truck driver when Perkins allegedly exited his home with the firearm again and was shot by police.
4. Alabama Democrats are publicly pushing back against school choice in Alabama and are now calling Education Savings Accounts “vouchers.” They are beholden to teachers’ unions that view options and competition as the worst thing that could ever happen because they know many parents will choose something else.
3. President Joe Biden’s entire re-election campaign appears to be set to hinge on two things, dementia and demonization. The White House is telegraphing that a lot of demonization is on the menu for a speech Biden will read in Pennsylvania today with a heavy dose of Jan. 6 talk and talk of fears for our “democracy,” as his allies try to disqualify his main opponent.
2. Alabama’s delegation is hitting Biden hard on the issues, with U.S. Rep. Robert Aderholt (R-Haleyville) declaring it is time to “reinstate President Trump’s ‘Remain in Mexico’ policy immediately” and that Trump-era policies are needed as the record-breaking numbers are only going up with 2020 seeing 405,036 apprehensions and 2023 seeing 3,201,144 but the number of those released and not ever contacted goes up as well. U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Auburn) slams Democrats on their failure to secure the border and highlights that the open border they have pined for is now here. Tuberville doesn’t believe President Joe Biden cares about any of this, “Don’t expect any type of actual immigration reform from this Administration…they just want the American people to think they’re trying.”
1. To highlight how unserious Democrats are about this issue, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas says he believes that climate change is driving the situation at the border. This was in response to a question from MSNBC that asked, “Border Patrol, in the month of December, processed more migrants entering the United States illegally than any month in the history of that agency. Why is that happening?”
