7 Things: Somali daycare fraud roils social media; illegal immigrants smuggled by real estate agent in North Alabama; Britt battles Big Tech; and more …

7. Now that Michigan and Penn State have hired coaches, the “nonsense” stories about Alabama head coach Kalen DeBoer can end. Even Paul Finebaum has now suggested that a Rose Bowl win over Indiana would solidify DeBoer’s legacy beyond Nick Saban’s shadow in the College Football Playoff quarterfinal, which is a bit too much.

6. Doug Jones, the cowardly caretaker former junior senator in an ill-fitting suit, who looks like he just woke up and stole his shoes from a homeless person and who will never be governor, thinks he can bolster his 2026 gubernatorial campaign by promising to using a $1.5 billion Powerball jackpot for the state Treasury, just like every other Democrat who lost the same race.

5. The Alabama Law Enforcement Agency warned the Montgomery Police Department in August about failing to report crime data to the state’s incident-based system. The failure potentially skews statistics and affects federal funding, amid broader concerns over transparency in Alabama’s capital city as the city continues to fight an image of being crime-ridden.

4. Supporters of President Donald Trump celebrated U.S. airstrikes on ISIS targets on Christmas after the slaughter of Christians and Muslims in the country. Despite the complaints over the attacks by the media and their Democrats, the Nigerian government helped the Trump administration in the selection of targets.

3. U.S. Sen. Katie Britt (R-Montgomery) urged Congress to protect minors from tech companies’ social media and AI, and is co-sponsoring bills for age verification and liability on platforms exposing children to dangerous content.

2. A north Alabama real estate agent has been charged with conspiracy to transport undocumented immigrants after authorities discovered 11 individuals in her vehicle during a traffic stop, while a Fairhope couple lost $200,000 in a bitcoin and gold bar scam where illegal immigrants were targeting elderly victims.

1. The FBI is investigating a massive fraud scheme in Minnesota involving daycare providers and autocomplete funds, with Director Kash Patel stating the probe is active amid allegations of millions diverted. But Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz continues to pretend these allegations are overblown, political, and racially-motivated.
