7. President Joe Biden is not interested in discussing the mounting and never-ending scandal surrounding his crackhead son’s financial dealings. When Biden was asked about his meetings with Hunter Biden’s business partners and using his position in government as leverage, of which records exist, serial liar and terrible person Joe Biden, called these questions “lies.”
6. U.S. Reps. Jerry Carl (R-Mobile) and Barry Moore (R-Enterprise) will face off in a rare congressman vs. congressman debate.
5. State Sen. Chris Elliott (R-Josephine) is sick of bureaucrats deciding they know best and that includes the officials at the Alabama Department of History and Archives who hosted an LGBTQ lecture last year and ignored requests from lawmakers to knock it off. Elliott noted it was time to be accountable to the people and their elected officials and said that it is time that “the folks that serve on the board of the Archives and History Department, that hire the executive director and provide general oversight, be appointed by elected officials in the state of Alabama as opposed to appointing and reappointing themselves, which is what happens right now.”
4. Record border crossings continue at the southern border, so do the releases, and that does not sit well with border officials. Deputy Chief Patrol Agent Dustin Caudle argued this is leading to more crossings: “[T]he belief that they are going to be released with no consequence is certainly something that many migrants tell our agents.”
3. The Senate GOP scuttled a bill to fund Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan, and border security because the proposed border provisions are too weak. Earlier in the way, both President Joe President and Secretary of State Antony Blinken warned that American blood could be spilled if Russia succeeds.
2. U.S. Sen. Katie Britt (R-Montgomery) endorsed former President Donald Trump over his GOP rivals on the same day those same rivals would meet on the college campus where she was SGA president.
1. To call what happened last night in Tuscaloosa a “debate” is a bit of a joke, the moderation was fine, the structure was OK, and there was focus on the guy who wasn’t there, former President Donald Trump. Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and Vivek Ramaswamy don’t need to be there as they are just there for their own enjoyment. Former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley is the Republican establishment drone in human form and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis was the standout and the frontrunner to be the guy who comes in second to Trump.
