7. A good guy with a gun stops a bad guy with a gun in a Birmingham McDonald’s
— A father and his two sons walked into a Birmingham McDonald’s this weekend and right into a gunfight after a masked man busted in and opened fire. It is unknown whether this was a robbery or some other crime.
— The father exchanged fire with the gunman and killed him, but not before he and one of his sons were injured in the melee.
6. Attorney General Jeff Sessions is heckled by priests
— As Americans pretend they want everyone to calm down and stop being so divisive, the attorney general of the United States was yelled at by protesting priests over the oncoming caravan of future illegals.
— Sessions responded by thanking the heckler for his words and telling all in the audience, “I don’t think there’s anything in the scripture, I don’t believe there’s anything in my theology that says a secular nation-state cannot have lawful laws to control immigration in this country. That’s what we’re talking about. Not immoral, not indecent and not unkind to state what your laws are and then set about to enforce them, in my view. And I feel like that’s my responsibility and that’s what I intend to do.”
5. Democrats still can’t understand that pandering to Hispanics may not sweep them into power
— Yes, a majority of Hispanics are Democrat voters, but over 90 percent of eligible Hispanic voters are located in 10 states (California, Texas, Florida, New York, Arizona, Illinois, New Jersey, Colorado, New Mexico and Pennsylvania), which limits their stroke nationwide.
— Furthermore, a Harvard/Harris poll showed a 10 percent jump in Hispanic support for President Trump this summer (it has since dropped a bit). Other polls show Texas Gov. Greg Abbott leading among Hispanic voters and Florida Gov. Rick Scott has 50 percent of Hispanic support.
4. The caravan keeps coming – 5,200 more troops are heading to the border — Trump proposes an end to birthright citizenship
— There may be as many as 14,000, and as few as 3,500, people headed to the border. As much as the mainstream media may hate it, people are concerned about it, and now the president tweeted for them to turn around because they will not be allowed into the nation because, as he said, “[O]ur Military is waiting for you!”
— Trump is ready to enter in to a battle over citizenship. He called the caravan an invasion. The military says they are prepared to put over 5,000 active duty military on the border to stop the caravan. This includes aviation, medical and logistical personnel as well as aircraft and helicopters, some of which will have night-vision capabilities and sensors.
3. AL.com’s parent company ask its readers to support credibly accused child molester and possibly corrupt Sen. Bob Menendez
— NJ.com implored it customers and the state to “Choke it down, and vote for Menendez” because doing otherwise only empowers Trump. In their endorsement, they point out, “It’s a miracle that Menendez escaped criminal conviction,” but “the central issue in this race is Donald Trump.”
— For them, they want the terrible guy elected because it is all about Trump, which is odd, because in Alabama this same company demanded that Alabama voters forsake their conservative views, vote for our now-cowardly caretaker junior Senator Doug Jones and reject Roy Moore, unless the state be viewed as supporting a terrible person.
2. Alabama Democrats continue to be completely out of touch with the people they want to represent
— The latest in no-shot candidates to make statements that doom their already doomed campaigns is Lee Auman, who is challenging Congressman Robert Aderholt (R-Haleyville) in the number one Trump district in the country (where Trump received over 80 percent of the vote).
— Auman is a Bernie Sanders voter, he is pro-abortion, anti-Amendment 2, wants to repeal the Trump tax cuts and would support allowing the caravan to enter the country, which leaves him with very little in common with Alabama’s 4th Congressional district.
1. President Donald Trump and the media continue to go after each other while pretending they aren’t
— The president once again referred to the “fake new media” as the “enemy of the people.” This led to CNN’s Jim Acosta aggressively demanding the White House press secretary name names and she would not.
— As the media whines about tone, they continue to attempt to force the president into accepting “responsibility” for the recent attacks and attempted attacks. While over 50 percent of Americans say Trump has no responsibility for the bombing attempts, only 25 percent say he does.
