7. Hamas says they want may peace talks, Hezbollah attacks Israel, as the world waits for Iran to do the same, with 30 rockets from Lebanon into northern Israel early Monday, with no casualties reported, according to the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) but this all led to the U.S. bolstering its military presence in the region. Iran has vowed revenge for the assassination of senior Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran, but nearly two weeks later, no significant retaliation has occurred, with Iran likely carefully considering its options to avoid escalating into an all-out war with Israel while still maintaining a strong stance in the region.
6. Grade inflation is allegedly over in Huntsville City Schools in response to concerns about the practice during the pandemic. Huntsville City Schools Superintendent Clarence Sutton stated that the district is moving forward and trusts its teachers to accurately report grades. Sutton emphasized teachers have the final say in grading, and the district has no current evidence of improper grade changes. However, teachers reported being pressured by administrators to alter grades during the pandemic, with one former teacher providing emails and text messages as evidence of these directives to change failing grades to a minimum of 50 – this happens all over the country.
5. Alabama could be a cryptocurrency-focused state with a bipartisan pair of legislators participating in a forum that Coinbase will host in Alabama in partnership with Prevail Coffee and Stand with Crypto. It features a town hall and reception with state policymakers and industry leaders that will focus on how cryptocurrency impacts local businesses and the future of crypto, with discussions expected to cover regulatory challenges and the role of blockchain technology in Alabama. The event, held at Prevail Coffee in downtown Montgomery, will include speakers such as State Reps. Mike Shaw (R-Hoover) and Phillip Ensler (D-Montgomery), along with Coinbase Senior Manager of U.S. Policy Ashley Gunn.
4. The absurd media coverage, laughable headlines, and embarrassing covers on magazines are only a part of the media’s ongoing Kamala Harris reclamation project where deception, demonization, and demographics are pushing her numbers up across the board in the national numbers and swing states, including on the economy where some polls show her leading on that issue thought to be a major liability for her. A recent Financial Times and University of Michigan Ross School of Business poll shows Vice President Kamala Harris leading former President Donald Trump on economic trust for the first time with 42% of voters to handle the economy, compared to Trump’s 41%, with Harris gaining 7 points on President Biden’s July numbers.
3. The Fox News Power Rankings for the Senate highlight the toss-up nature of the upcoming election, with Republicans having a favorable map but Democrats leading in key battleground states. While the presidential race is expected to significantly influence Senate outcomes, the possibility of ticket-splitting could determine control of the upper chamber. Republicans are targeting victories in traditionally red states like Montana and Ohio, while Democrats have strong polling in battleground states like Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. The most competitive race is in Nevada, which is considered a toss-up.
2. Alabama Democratic Party Chairman Randy Kelley has accused the Democratic National Committee (DNC) of racism for rejecting his preferred convention delegates. In a letter to DNC Chairman Jamie Harrison, Kelley claimed that former Sen. Doug Jones (D-Mountain Brook) orchestrated a plot to prevent black delegates from being elected, which Jones dismissed as “total bullshit.” The controversy stems from the DNC’s decision to approve a different set of delegates than those elected by the Alabama party, which Kelley argues undermines Black voters in the state. The DNC responded that the state party missed deadlines to challenge the delegate selections. This dispute highlights ongoing friction between the Alabama Democratic Party and the national organization, with Kelley asserting that the state’s Black-majority leadership deserves fair treatment.
1. Former President Donald Trump made a notable return to X, formerly known as Twitter, ahead of a highly anticipated interview with Elon Musk and that had people very worried about the state of our “democracy” that they cheered on the European Union silencing what Musk touted as “the interview of the century.” The enemies of the people, in the White House press corps, demanded the White House shut Musk and Trump down to protect our “democracy,” and many cheered on illegal cyberattacks that affected a multiple hour live stream that neither Vice President Kamala Harris nor the ghost of President Joe Biden would even dare attempt.
