7. The Flora-Bama is a world famous location for partying on Alabama’s Gulf Coast, one of the things they are known for is the “Mullet Toss,” a tradition involves throwing fish and PETA is not happy. Because People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals are terrible, PETA has concerns about the environmental impact and the message it sends about respecting marine life, so they want them to throw fake fish and then have a vegan lunch.
6. Reportedly, a substitute teacher in St. Clair County told students there are 48 genders, but that is disputed with the school system saying, “there has been a misunderstanding” but refusing to go in to detail. Either way, the Legislature is about to say, that’s enough of this garbage, and the Alabama State House is prepared to debate a bill would prohibit instruction of gender identity or sexual orientation in public K-12 schools. Lawmakers plan an amendment that says Space Camp and any entity receiving Education Trust Fund money will be covered by this.
5. President Joe Biden keeps playing games with our energy in order to play politics on or near “Earth Day” by declaring they will block oil and gas drilling across millions of acres in an Alaskan reserve, according to U.S. Rep. Gary Palmer (R-Hoover). Palmer slammed Biden, tweeting on X, “Biden’s policies are causing energy costs to rise and for our nation to be dependent on other countries for resources we have here at home.”
4. Coming off a big win at a Volkswagen plan in Chattanooga, Tenn., United Auto Workers union leader Shawn Fain is ramping up his play for unionization a Mercedes plant in Vance, Ala. Fain singled out Gov. Kay Ivey and others, saying, they “are showing that they’re just puppets for corporate America, and they don’t give a damn about working-class people. They don’t care about the workers being left behind even though the workers are the ones who elect them.”
3. When President Joe Biden entered the 2020 presidential race, he lied and claimed he did so because he was outraged by former President Donald Trump declaring that white supremacists were “very fine people” based on a lie repeated, and still repeated by the media and their Democrats, about President Donald Trump. Yesterday, President Joe Biden actually declared that anti-Semites on college campuses have a good point after being asked asked about anti-Semitic protests on college campuses, “I condemn the anti-Semitic protests. I also condemn those who don’t understand what’s going on with the Palestinians.”
2. U.S. Sen. Katie Britt (R-Montgomery) has the right answer when it comes to dealing with these anti-Semitic losers on college campuses out, especially those who are here on student visas, put them out. She says we should, “[d]eport any non-citizen in the U.S. who supports Hamas” and “[d]efund any educational institution that authorizes, facilitates, or otherwise supports these pro-terrorist activities.” She is not wrong.
1. The Trump trial lurches on, and it’s only been one day. Prosecutors allege “criminal conspiracy and cover-up” but defense says “nah” and declared former President Donald Trump had nothing to do with the 34 records he is accused of falsifying.
