7. Alabama Department of Transportation Director John Cooper has been arrested for harassment over an alleged property dispute in Langston with a neighbor. This comes on the heels of the ALDOT director being slammed by a judge and lawmakers over his behavior in the attempts to build a bridge and put a private business out of business.
6. Alabama now has 21 medical weed companies that will now be able to cultivate, process, transport, dispense, and test under the very strict medical marijuana law Alabama has passed. A second round of licensing could be offered soon. The law will allow the usage only in specific cases, can’t be sold to be smoked or in edible form (so enjoy your gelatinous cube or anal suppository, it can not get you high), people are going to be so disappointed.
5. Craig Waller owns Greenville 24-Hour Fitness and posted an image of a bride and groom on the business’ Facebook followed by the statement, “It’s natural, its worked for thousands of years and you can make babies. It’s okay to be straight.” As it is holy Pride Month, people were not amused because gay people are the only people allowed to have pride and some pretended women who could not have children were offended. He has taken it down and apologized, which is not enough.
4. White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre broke the law by using her podium to repeatedly bash “mega MAGA Republicans” for 2022 elections after repeatedly referencing the Hatch Act to avoid answering questions. Donald Trump advisor Kellyanne Conway did a similar thing while working for the White House, and the American media was significantly more interested in that story than this one.
3. U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Auburn) is having none of the empty gestures the Senate leadership is trying to offer him in exchange for him lifting his hold on nominees. There was a proposal to have a debate on Pentagon abortion policy in exchange for Tuberville lifting the hold, he says the law either needs to change or the Pentagon needs to follow the law.
2. Former President Donald Trump will turn himself in into the city of Miami and face his first arraignment in the federal case where 37 counts are alleged – from document possession to obstruction. Fear of chaos and a circus continues from the media that will surely be disappointed.
1. The Biden family’s issues just got significantly worse, if U.S. Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and his allegations are to be believed. Grassley says FBI FD-1023, that lawmakers were briefed on, was heavily redacted and omitted the allegation that a Burisma executive allegedly paid Joe Biden and his no-good crackhead son, Hunter Biden, $5 million kept 17 audio recordings of his conversations with them as an “insurance policy.”
