7. Another Birmingham shooting hurt 3 people early Sunday in Birmingham’s Lakeview District, with all victims hospitalized but expected to survive. The incident occurred around 3:27 a.m. and police have not yet made any arrests, which echoes another weekend shooting with no arrests after three were killed and 17 were injured in Five Points South area of Birmingham two weeks ago.
6. Vice presidential candidate and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz should stop doing interviews because the man is clearly out of his depth; this was exposed when Walz attempt to go on Fox News with Shannon Bream and she just wrecked him repeatedly. Walz lied about Minnesota’s abortion law, women being killed by the repeal of Roe v. Wade, wouldn’t condemn Hamas supporters, said people don’t care about his lying, touted Harris’ non-existent immigration policy. defended giving illegals driver’s licenses, misled on tariffs, and generally got owned by the least-aggressive Fox News host.
5. Toilet paper is safe, it always was, but a deal has been reached after the International Longshoremen’s Association launched its first strike in decades, demanding a 77% pay raise to address inflation, affecting ports across the U.S., including Alabama’s Port of Mobile. A tentative wage agreement was reached, extending the contract until January 2025, but the strike has already caused significant economic disruption, costing Alabama $10 million daily and hundreds of millions nationally.
4. After a huge win against Georgia, the No.1-ranked Alabama football team lost to Vanderbilt in Nashville, leading to fans throwing goalposts in the river after parading them down Broadway in Nashville. Somehow the blame for this is either current head coach Kalen DeBoer, former head coach Nick Saban, or NIL deals. Interestingly, the mayor of Montgomery Stephen Reed saluted his alma mater with an interesting football Saturday tweeting, “Just getting back in to see that Vanderbilt beat Alabama? WOW! #AnchorDown,” which is awesome or cringe, depending whether you went to college or not.
3. Alabama U.S. Sens. Katie Britt (R-Montgomery) and Tommy Tuberville (R-Auburn), along with other Republican lawmakers, have demanded answers from Attorney General Merrick Garland regarding the Department of Justice’s failure to prevent non-citizens from registering to vote in federal elections. The group is also calling for accountability over the DOJ’s refusal to prosecute those illegal immigrants who have already registered or voted. But the current DOJ seems completely disinterested in such matters because they believe illegal voting helps Democrats.
2. Alabama legislators are preparing future legislation and a potential Kamala Harris presidency has come up, State Sen. Chris Elliott (R-Josephine) is preparing for a potential special session on immigration should Kamala Harris win the presidency, revisiting past immigration legislation to address ongoing concerns after previous attempts were taking down by activist courts. Additionally, State Rep. Matt Simpson (R-Daphne) pre-filed a bill to make first-degree rape or sodomy of a child five years or younger a capital offense, punishable by death, similar to laws in Florida and Tennessee. The legislation seeks to challenge the Kennedy v. Louisiana decision, which prohibits the death penalty for crimes where death did not occur, arguing that if more states adopt such laws, it would no longer be considered “unusual” punishment.
1. While former President Donald Trump returned to Butler, Pa., after someone tried to kill him for a rally, Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign is apparently so pathetically bad, even the liberal-diehards at “Saturday Night Live” are mocking it, she is now making herself available to very safe media outlets and entertainment shows that will still trip her up while they try to help her. She will appear with on the smut podcast “Call Her Daddy,” with the braying jackasses hosting “The View,” with the smartest comedian ever on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” and the rotting corpse of Howard Stern on “The Howard Stern Show,” a recorded fluff-piece on “60 Minutes” and a Univision town hall that will surely lead to 20 variations of “isn’t immigration enforcement racist?”
