7 Things: Democrats about to turn on early voting; Britt praises Israel for ignoring Harris/Biden administration bad instincts; and more …

7. Former Alabama head football coach Nick Saban, now a fan of the team after retiring, urged fans to support the program, players, and coaches during its challenging season. Following a loss to Tennessee, Saban emphasized that unity and support from the fanbase are crucial for the team’s success in the current transition. When asked if the team is living up to his standard, Saban refrained from judgment, saying the focus should be on the players striving to meet their own standards.

6. For some reason the McDonald’s story continues as the media attempts to turn a brilliant campaign move by former President Donald Trump into a blunder. The restaurant chain (with a net favorability of 39 points) can not confirm Kamala Harris’s claim of having worked there and a branch in Alameda, Calif., where she allegedly worked, instructed employees not to discuss her employment history which is not suspicious at all. Trump’s favorite McDonald’s order during Clemson’s championship visit to the White House was two Big Macs, two Filet-O-Fish, and a chocolate milkshake, a whooping almost 2,000-calorie meal, which may make Trump the most American man ever.

5. U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Auburn) criticized the DOJ’s lawsuit against Alabama over purging noncitizens from voter rolls, framing it as a partisan move by Democrats and advocated for former President Donald Trump saying he is the best hope for the country and praised his relentless work ethic. Tuberville also discussed Republicans learning to embrace early voting, noting a record turnout in southern states, and the importance of staying engaged in elections.

4. Pathetically sad Alabama Democrats are going to making appearances with a giant inflatable intra-uterine device (IUD) named “Freeda Womb,” an incredibly forced unclever play on the words “Free The Womb.” State Rep. Marilynn Lands (D-Madison), a one-trick pony obsessed with abortion, and Second Congressional District candidate Shomari Figures will both hold events with this monstrosity proving that they think women ONLY care about abortions but are so stupid they can sell it to normal people under the guise of “reproductive health” if they talk about IVF and IUD.

3. Montgomery Mayor Steven Reed, who was recorded saying, “I don’t have to do no work systemically, and I’m going to be fine. And guess what? I will always get 38 to 45% of the white vote. If I can get 30 to 45% of the white vote, I don’t fucking have to damn get the black vote I got this past election. I’ll fucking win,” has now criticized Donald Trump’s remarks about Arnold Palmer’s masculinity, calling them “unbecoming of the office.” Reed suggested that Trump’s comments reflect mental decline and questioned whether the former president should be held to the same standards as other leaders like Vice President Kamala Harris, ignoring his own comments and not being asked about it by Dan Abrams on NewsNation. He emphasized that such remarks do not align with the concerns of everyday Americans and should be scrutinized more seriously by the media.

2. Sen. Katie Britt praised Israel’s successful elimination of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, crediting their decision to ignore President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris’ opposition to a ground invasion. Britt criticized Harris’ stance, emphasizing that the operation in Rafah, where Sinwar was found, was necessary to prevent further attacks on innocent civilians. She reaffirmed her support for Israel’s right to defend itself and called for the destruction of Hamas to restore peace.

1. Republicans are seeing a surge in early voting, with encouragement from former President Donald Trump, who has shifted his stance and urged supporters to vote before Election Day. This increase in GOP early turnout is particularly strong in swing states like Georgia and North Carolina, where record-breaking numbers are being reported. Early voting totals in Nevada show Republicans leading by about 6,000 ballots, raising concerns for Democrats, as longtime state political reporter Jon Ralston noted this shift could signal potential danger for Vice President Kamala Harris and the Democratic Party.
