7. U.S. Rep. Ken Buck (R-Colo.) is leaving Congress early to trigger a special election to replace him and hurt current Rep. Lauren Boebert’s (R-Colo.) attempt to replace him. The bigger issue for Congress is that this narrows the Republican majority to 5 and that matters when trying to pass legislation.
6. President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump won primaries in Georgia, Mississippi, and Washington which has given Biden the Democrat nomination and Trump the Republican nod. Meanwhile, long-shot Robert F. Kennedy Jr. says that New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers or former WWE star and Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura could be his pick for vice president.
5. Alabama’s politicians are ready to talk about all the projects coming to Alabama in the 2024 budget deals as part of the additional $786 million in federal investment. U.S. Sen. Katie Britt (R-Montgomery) touted the $232 million she helped secure, U.S. Rep. Dale Strong (R-Monrovia) says he brought in $18.5 million, Rep. Robert Aderholt (R-Haleyville) says he is bringing back $42 million, and Rep. Jerry Carl (R-Mobile) got $30 million in the last budget of his congressional career for Alabama.
4. President Joe Biden’s border policy is for the border to fix itself somehow rather than taking executive action to secure the border as he seeks a bipartisan agreement that is not coming. This stance underscores Biden’s emphasis on blaming Republicans instead of doing his job. When Biden was asked about this, he said, “I’m counting on the border action happening by itself” after he undid almost 100 executive orders and made the border worse.
3. U.S. Sen. Katie Britt (R-Montgomery) makes it very clear, “Since President Biden took office, overall prices are now up 18.6%” and while the media tries to tell you inflation is over, it is not. Energy prices are up 34.6%, grocery prices are up 21.1%, rent prices are up 20%, and the average family is paying $12,000 more each year because of it.
2. A national transgender group is weighing-in on the controversy involving a transgender adult man entering the changing area for minor females and declared that the parents complaining don’t matter and this grown “Butch Coded Space Queer” be treated like any other female around young children at Space Camp, and some Alabama politicians agree. The state-operated U.S. Space & Rocket Center receives federal funding, donations, and state funding as well, it may be time for the board members of this organization (which appears to have had its information removed) to wake up and realize this is not aligned with proper values and the mission of the organization.
1. After a contentious hearing, it is now clear that President Joe Biden was not exonerated, he did share classified information, and he did not remember key dates because he is mentally challenged and not “the best Biden ever.” Despite what the media says, even a CNN analyst is admitting that lying Biden misled the public and it is obvious that Joe Biden is receiving special treatment, as never-going-to-be-president Hillary Clinton did, and former President Donald Trump is not getting the same leeway. But the outrage here is not that Trump was charged with crimes, it is that no one else ever is.
