7 Things: Biden needs week off to debate prep; Tuberville wants IVF clinics audit; Britt pushes social media fix; and more …

7.The MLB held a historic game at Rickwood Field in Birmingham between the St. Louis Cardinals and the San Francisco Giants, but the game didn’t matter. This event, dubbed “MLB at Rickwood Field: A Tribute to the Negro Leagues,” marked the first regular-season AL/NL game played at the oldest professional ballpark in the United States and the most moving moment of the game was a heart-wrenching statement by Reggie Jackson on the pre-game that should be heard by everyone.

6. An Owens Cross Roads woman was arrested after a dog attack that killed a 2-year-old boy under “Emily’s Law” which targets owners who allow dangerous dogs to hurt others. The incident occurred when the child was attacked by two dogs, a husky and a German shepherd-mix, and the boy’s father discovered him unresponsive outside the dog pens. 

5. President Joe Biden plans to head to Camp David to prepare for an entire week for his first 2024 debate with former President Donald Trump. Biden also continues to signal that he will focus on issues his base is obsessed with like the overturning of Roe v. Wade, felonies, and alleged attacks on U.S. democracy while downplaying his failures on the economy, immigration, and crime – all subjects the media and their Democrats seem to be misleading the public on.

4. The U.S. Supreme Court released four decisions Thursday, involving taxes, malicious prosecutions, expert testimony on mental health, and a First Amendment retaliation case; but one big case still looms. The immunity issues involving former President Donald Trump are causing a lot of consternation and often-wrong, often-cited legal scholars, like Harvard’s Laurence Tribe, say the delay is corrosive to democracy but that ruling is coming soon.

3. U.S. Sen. Katie Britt (R-Montgomery) joined “Fox and Friends” from Rickwood Field and emphasized her bipartisan need to protect children from the harmful effects of social media, highlighted the importance of parents being proactive and noting a significant rise in youth depression correlated with increased social media use. Britt highlighted the Kids Online Safety Act, which would limit social media exposure for minors and restrict harmful algorithms.

2. U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Auburn) has joined a group of senators calling for an audit of in vitro fertilization (IVF) clinics to ensure they protect and respect human life. This initiative aims to review the practices of IVF clinics and confirm they are adhering to ethical standards concerning the treatment and handling of embryos after errors at cryogenics labs that destroyed embryos without parental consent or were even implanted in the wrong women.

1. As the American media struggles with immigration, Americans are now favoring deportation of illegals. President Joe Biden invites more illegal immigration every day while pretending his executive order seeks to stop illegal immigration while doing nothing, a series of shocking murders and attacks scaring the nation. A 13-year-old girl in New York was raped, a 12-year-old in Texas was raped and strangled to death in a creek, a mother was murdered in Maryland, and all these continuing cases highlight this is not merely a border issue.
