7. Harvard’s President Claudine Gay has finally been forced to resign. It was not her “wink, wink, nod, nod” to rampant anti-Semitism that got her, it was racism. Just kidding. It was the fact that she is an academic fraud busted for tons of plagiarism.
6. More people are moving to Alabama according to the well-respected “47th Annual National Movers Study.” Three Alabama metros, Mobile, Montgomery, and Dothan, were in the top 25 when it comes to growing areas so it is time to let all the out-of-state movers know that we are full.
5. Israel has sent a number of high-level Hamas terrorist leaders to their maker recently, with the latest being Hamas military leader and Oct. 7 planner, Saleh al-Arouri in Beirut via a drone strike. This shows the Israeli military’s ability and willingness to kill these people wherever they lay their heads, which is probably making the Qatari hotel-dwelling Hamas leaders very nervous.
4. 2023 saw immigration records shattered at the border and ALGOP officials have seen enough and are asking, “How many more records do we have to break” for the Biden administration to do something. U.S. Rep. Robert Aderholt (R-Haleyville), Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.), and other Republicans will be taking a joint trip to the border to continue highlighting the issues while President Joe Biden will actively make it worse.
3. Alabama’s Eagle Forum is laying out its priorities for the next legislative session but the hurdles for school choice and the dangers of gambling are some of the perspectives the Alabama Policy Institute has been warning about recently, as well. It’s not just the Eagle Forum and API, Alabama Senate Pro Tem Greg Reed (R-Jasper) says he has an aggressive agenda on the table as well and Lt. Gov. Will Ainsworth is declaring he will spend 2024 fighting for real school choice and against woke policies.
2. Despite nefarious members of the Alabama media pretending U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Auburn) does not have a home in Alabama, a swatting of the Tuberville home in Auburn took place on Christmas day. This was part of a broader attack on Republican politicians in attempts to have them murdered by police on Christmas day including U.S. Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) and Brandon Williams (R-N.Y.).
1. Former President Donald Trump is officially challenging the Maine Secretary of State’s decision to remove him from the state’s ballot claiming that he violated section 3 of the 14th Amendment by engaging in insurrection, which is obviously not true. Trump is expected to challenge the Colorado decision, as well, even though it appears he is back on the ballot there for now, it is not over.
