7. Chick-fil-A and Kohl’s have been brought in to the War on Woke. Not sure what God’s chicken restaurant has done wrong but Kohl’s has some pretty disturbing items for sale as “pride” clothing for infants.
6. Sorry folks, Alabama is pretty much full, but out-of-staters keep coming. Not surprisingly, Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, and Mississippi, our neighboring states make up 4-out-of-5 of the top states with Texas being the other.
5. Former President Donald Trump is continuing his asinine attempts to desperately rewrite his, terrible in hindsight, decision to close the country down and then attack those who opened up against his wishes. Now, all of this is just about Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, but his support for disgraced former Gov. Andrew Cuomo of New York is quite a surprise.
4. Toronto Blue Jays’ reliever Anthony Bass has been made to grovel before the media who will now attempt to destroy him for daring to suggest he supports a boycott of Target and Bud Light. The Washington Nationals’ Trevor Williams will soon be asked to bend the knee because he spoke out against the Los Angeles Dodgers inviting an anti-Catholic group to their gay pride night.
3. Gov. Kay Ivey has signed one of the few pieces of socially conservative legislation that actually made it to her desk this legislative session, so far. The ban on transgender college athletes is now law but there is no hope for school choice, expanding the divisive content ban in school, a ban on kids at adult entertainment, or a state definition of what a “woman” actually is with the session’s end drawing near.
2. Former Congressman Mo Brooks says he would not vote for the current debt deal, “All Congressmen & Senators who are Debt Junkies, like high inflation, look forward to dangerous national bankruptcy, & think voters are dumb will vote “YES” on deficit bill.” Former U.S. Sen. Doug Jonesseems to be all for the deal, saying, “with this deal we not only stave off a default on our debt – which remember was goal number one – but we go a long toward avoiding a government shutdown later this year.”
1. U.S. Rep. Jerry Carl (R-Mobile) was non-committal about the debt deal but has a reasonable assessment of where the nation is, “The positive side you’ve got to remember, we were told it would be a clean bill, no exceptions, period, take it or leave it and through McCarthy and through our negotiations, we’ve got to this point, which is a lot of the table here. So let’s give McCarthy and his group credit for what they did. We put it together, we all had a voice in … so we’re at a point now where we never would have been there, period…” The bill is expected to pass the U.S. Senate as Republicans will join Democrats and even those GOP members being critical in the House say some will eventually vote for it.
