7. A silly ethics complaint filed by Alabama Board of Education Member Wayne Reynolds against former U.S. Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Huntsville) has been predictably dropped. Reynolds claimed Brooks’ comments about China not wanting him elected to the U.S. Senate represented, “unethical behavior that harms the Alabama Republican Party and impugns the validity of our Party election process” but the majority of the Alabama Republican Party’s Ethics committee disagreed.
6. Democrats seem to be pushing another stimulus bill (up to $1,200 a month), not because they think it is good for the economy or America’s economic health, but because they believe it will turn out Democrat voters and independents who want “free money.” U.S. Reps. Rosa DeLaura (D-Conn.), Suzan DelBene (D-Wash.), and Ritchie Torres (D-N.Y.) have proposed it and 200 Democrat Congressthems are for it, including Rep. Terri Sewell (D-Birmingham).
5. Why is President Joe Biden still in the race for president even when he has a ton of ethical allegations, seems to be feeble, and is generally a terrible person and president? Two reasons: They think President Trump is beatable (especially in swing states) and because his vice president is historically unpopular with an unfavorable net rating of -17. [insert Kamala Harris cackle]
4. Director of the Alabama Department of Transportation John Cooper may lose his job if he did what he is alleged to have done. Cooper was arrested in Marshall County after a tiff with a neighbor and allegedly said, “You heard me. I’m old and I got Parkinson’s, but I’ll still whup your fat ass!”
3. The youth mental health crisis is clearly a thing and we need to address it. U.S. Sen. Katie Britt (R-Montgomery) supports “The Protecting Kids on Social Media Act” which includes a real-age verification process for social media. Do it.
2. In an attempt to get “drag” criminalized in Alabama, Central Alabama Pride hosted an event with children where an adult man in a dog outfit shakes his ass before walking over to a young child and accepting money from him. The “performer” known as “Flap Jack” posted a video to Twitter showing the scene and stating, “I always love performing in this look […] because it draws folks in whether they’re young or old. Drag is not a crime, y’all!?” Sadly, it should be and could be if the Alabama Legislature had wanted it to be, it would be.
1. Another audio leak from the Department of Justice shows President Donald Trump admitting that the documents he had were not declassified AND he knew he should not have them or be showing them to others. Big, if true, obviously. It is true.
