7. The Alabama Public Library Service is now allowing parents, also known as taxpayers, to question the content and quality of books available at their local library. This, of course, terrifies the people who insist on providing inappropriate material to children but the momentum against those individuals seems to be growing.
6. In a story with a vibe similar to the Stephen Perkins case out of Decatur, which is near a resolution, a tow truck driver was shot and killed by a man as he tried to repossess his vehicle in Madison County. There is no reason to confront a tow truck driver with a handgun over a towed vehicle, the killer now sits in the Madison County jail on murder charges.
5. They set a date… for Hunter Biden’s court date to face the music for some of his many, many, many crimes. The crackhead son of the president of the United States will make his debut appearance in a California federal court on nine tax charges on Jan. 11, the year his dad will seek reelection.

1. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has decided to follow in the steps of a struck-down Alabama HB-56 law and authorize the arrest of people who have entered the country illegally.
