7. To prove it runs in the family, Vice President Kamala Harris’s husband is a man who looks like he bemoans “toxic masculinity.” Like most male feminists, he is a fraud. Second gentleman Doug Emhoff has now admitted to having an extramarital affair during his first marriage, contributing to its breakup.
6. Former President Donald Trump reignited his feud with Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp during a rally, attacking him with personal insults and claims as Trump criticized Kemp for not supporting his efforts to overturn the 2020 election results and blamed him for his legal issues in Georgia. Despite Trump’s hostility, Kemp emphasized his focus on defeating Democrats suggesting Trump should focus on winning in November and refrain from “petty personal insults, attacking fellow Republicans, or dwelling on the past,” while Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio), expressed confidence in Georgia’s election security during an interview on Fox News.
5. UK’s immigration issue boiled over after multiple children are murdered in an English dance studio, American media declares they are “far-right” and the government cracks down on those upset over the immigration issues while handling marauding immigrants with care and concern.

4. The Alabama Medical Cannabis Commission (AMCC) has been criticized for operating outside the law, ignoring the Alabama Administrative Procedure Act (AAPA), and causing delays in providing medical cannabis to patients, according to retired attorney John T. Mooresmith. The AAPA, established to ensure fairness, transparency, and public access in state agency operations, has been disregarded by the AMCC, which has conducted its operations in secrecy and denied due process to license applicants and this behavior undermines trust in government and highlights the need for accountability and adherence to established legal procedures.

Will Ainsworth, term-limited from seeking a third term, is obviously considering running for governor in 2026 or returning to the private sector – but it seems pretty clear that he is running for governor. He says he plans to decide by early next year and Alabama’s gubernatorial race will be wide open. But it is his to lose, so he is emphasizing his duties as lieutenant governor, his work on military issues, workforce development, recruiting industry to our state, and education issues.
2. Global investors, Wall Street, and voters, continue to be concerned about potential economic turmoil after recent U.S. data, including lower-than-expected job numbers and disappointing results from major tech firms, indicated the economy may be heading toward a recession. This has led to stock selloffs in Europe, Asia, and the Middle East while the U.S. unemployment rate hit a three-year high, and manufacturing activity declined, raising fears of economic fragility.
1. Polling guru Nate Silver initially predicted that former President Trump was favored to win the White House, but later updated his forecast to a “toss-up” and it is not trending in Trump’s direction. Silver’s latest model shows Vice President Kamala Harris having a 54% chance in Michigan, 50% in Wisconsin, and 47% in Pennsylvania with Silver’s model showing Harris is in a slightly better position than President Biden was but cautioned that the election remains highly uncertain with each candidate having a substantial chance of winning.
