7 Things: GOP debate seems set for Tuscaloosa; GOP state rep in jail; and more …

7. Week one Alabama and Auburn tickets are not-so-hot items and are going for as low as $2 and $9 respectively. Alabama will be destroying Middle Tennessee State while Auburn looks to set the tone for their season and head coach Hugh Freeze’s tenure against UMass.

6. The National Archives and Records Administration insists it can release e-mails about then-Vice President Joe Biden’s e-mails but ONLY if former President Barack Obama and Biden agree to it.

5. State Rep. Juandalynn Givan (D-Birmingham) will join Vice President Kamala Harris in Washington, D.C., to discuss her role as a black woman “shaping democracy.” Givan’s claim to fame is brilliantly telling a black Republican that he is still a “n-word” to his white colleagues by referencing a vile Jay-Z song.

4.  The never-ending saga of President Joe Biden’s politicization of the placement of the Space Command HQ in Colorado over Alabama will be reviewed by the Government Accountability Office at the request of U.S. Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Saks).

3. Another Alabama library is refusing to serve the community it represents, in Ozark the mayor has been trying to work with the library for months but they continue to stock more books and now the mayor wants the library defunded. Alabama is becoming the latest battleground on this issue.

2. Alabama State Rep. David Cole (R-?) has been indicted and arrested for voter fraud over residency issues that have plagued him since he was elected in 2022. He has been charged with a Class C Felony.

1. Alabama – Tuscaloosa specifically – has been chosen as the spot for the location of the third Republican presidential primary debate, according to former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie. Christie told MSNBC he expects former President Donald Trump to skip the next debate at the Reagan Library but added he should appear at the “debate in Tuscaloosa, Alabama in October” because “at that point, he will have lost even more ground in the polls, in my view.”
