7 Things: Everyone thinks their enemies are in trouble; grocery tax cut unlikely in ’24; and more …

7. The government is running an “Online Killers Market” and a woman from Tennessee used it to hire a “hitman” to kill a woman in Alabama. The hit did not get done and the woman is now in jail and the subject of a hilarious story.

6. In a boon to Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’s campaign, California Gov. Gavin Newsom is very upset about illegal immigrants being sent to Sacramento by the Florida governor. Also, New York City Mayor Eric Adams is thinking about placing illegal immigrants in people’s homes.

5. The last day of the Alabama legislative session is today, the agenda could include a ban on ballot harvesting could get done but missed opportunities abound.

4. Do not count on that second penny coming off the sales tax on groceries next year … yet. Current sales receipts show that the Education Trust Fund budget could shrink this year and that second penny requires growth.

3. Former President Donald Trump could be indicted this week, according to reports and comments from Trump himself on Truth Social may indicate that as well. Trump truthed, “HOW CAN DOJ POSSIBLY CHARGE ME, WHO DID NOTHING WRONG, WHEN NO OTHER PRESIDENT’S WERE CHARGED, WHEN JOE BIDEN WON’T BE CHARGED FOR ANYTHING, INCLUDING THE FACT THAT HE HAS 1,850 BOXES, MUCH OF IT CLASSIFIED, AND SOME DATING BACK TO HIS SENATE DAY WHEN EVEN DEMOCRAT SENATORS ARE SHOCKED. ALSO, PRESIDENT CLINTON HAD DOCUMENTS, AND WON IN COURT. CROOKED HILLARY DELETED 33,000 EMAILS, MANY CLASSIFIED, AND WASN’T EVEN CLOSE TO BEING CHARGED! ONLY TRUMP – THE GREATEST WITCH HUNT OF ALL TIME.”

2. U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) is suggesting that with an indictment of Donald Trump coming, an indictment of Hunter Biden could follow, “The reason it matters is Hunter Biden, the evidence suggests, made a business of selling access to daddy.”

1. Members of Congress believe that the FBI is concerned that the whistleblower behind the document the FBI refuses to turn over to Congress is at risk of being murdered. Wait, I thought this was about President Joe Biden, not Never-Gonna-Be-President Hillary Clinton? Contempt charges are now coming against FBI Director Christopher Wray.
