7. Alabama is ranked No. 8 in the College Football Playoff rankings with the ability to control their own destiny and make the playoffs.

6. Cornell junior Patrick Dai has been charged with making anti-Semitic death and rape threats against Jews on campus, he could face 5 years in jail. Now that there is a precedent, the FBI is going to be pretty busy tracking down the rise in these threats on campuses when threats were already at the highest level ever before Hamas killed 1,400-plus Israelis and kidnapped Americans leading some Americans to take Hamas’ side and openly smear Jews.
5. A polling group founded in Alabama and viewed as one of the top pollsters in the nation, Cygnal, reveals a troubling trend amongst a majority of Muslim-Americans who believe that Hamas was justified in the slaughtering of 1,400-plus Israel civilians, splitting with their fellow Americans.

2. A Hamas commander was killed while hiding at a refugee camp while the civilians he was hiding behind were killed and the global media is screaming about a refugee camp being hit. It was a Hamas command center that Israel has long warned was in the line of fire. Hamas could end this tomorrow.
1. The fact that American taxpayers are funding pensions and dress shops in Ukraine came as quite a shock to American taxpayers and isn’t something U.S. Katie Britt (R-Montgomery) wants to continue. Speaking to Fox News, Britt said, she is “not interested in funding pensions for the Ukrainian government” and added, “There are a lot of things where we believe that our NATO allies and others in Europe can step up and do more on the humanitarian front.”
