7 Things: Ivey cans education official over wokeness; Dems continue supporting criminals; and more

7. Bud Light blinked in their poorly thought-out battle with their customers over the support the brand gave controversial influencer and biological male, who pretends at time to be a little girl, Dylan Mulvaney.

6. There should be no surprise to the news that Alabama’s “Big 10” Mayors are very happy with the renewal and expansion of the Alabama Jobs Act and Growing Alabama. The move provides incentives to entice development to the state.

5. Today is Confederate Memorial Day and if people would not whine and complain about it, no one would know or care and many state employees will gladly take the day off. There have been attempts to change the holiday and other Confederate holidays, as well, but they have gone nowhere with Alabama Republicans missing some easy layups.

4. On Friday, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a stay in a case over the ruling on abortion pills by a Texas judge, that Democrats already begged the government to ignore, and Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall is not happy.

3. As if Alabama Democrats weren’t already the party of criminals, the party’s Vice Chair Tabitha Isner continues to lobby for leniency and compassion for the six shooters of 36 people at a Sweet 16 party in Dadeville. Not one Democrat has denounced her, and no mainstream media outlet has covered her words.

2. As crime in America’s and Alabama’s big cities continues to worry people, Democrats across the country are making excuses. In Alabama, Democrat members of the Legislature are bothered by an attempt to punish gang members harsher, which they see as racist. The comparison between Proud Boys, and even fraternities, and street criminals is labored at best.

1. Gov.Kay Ivey has announced that Alabama Department of Early Childhood Education Secretary Dr. Barbara Cooper has “resigned” after “woke concepts” were discovered in a resource book for pre-K teachers. At issue were the concepts that there are “larger systemic forces that perpetuate systems of White privilege” and that “the United States is built on systemic and structural racism.” Parents, legislators, and voters have made it pretty damn clear they do not want this stuff in their education system but the local media and their Democrats are not happy about this and even suggesting this “resignation” was racist even though Ivey hired the woman in the first place.
