7 Things: Tuberville breaks silence, UAB doctor calls trans suicide “bold”, and more …

7. Democrat elites helping Alabama Democrats for some reason

• The Alabama Democrat Party can’t win elections unless the opposing candidate is fatally flawed, the national media helps them and money pours in from out of state. 2022 is not 2017 so Democrats appear to be lacking 2 of the 3 things needed to win.
• Hollywood liberals and Big Tech elites are dumping thousands of dollars into the Alabama Democrat Party. Television/film producers Chuck Lorre, Seth McFarland and J.J. Abrams contributed money with Apple, Microsoft and Google executives pumping in thousands as well.

6. Voter registration deadline is Oct. 24

• Secretary of State John Merrill is letting everyone know that if you want to register to vote, and haven’t yet, Oct. 24 is the deadline.
• You must be an Alabama resident and U.S. citizen to vote. The postmark must be made by Oct. 24 or you can bring your registration applications to the local Board of Registrars’ office that day. This is not hard stuff.

5. Threatening the people who supply your oil was a bad idea

• When President Joe Biden attempted to collude with the Saudi Arabian monarchy to get them to hold off on oil cuts until after the election, he failed. When he tried to threaten them with arms sales cuts and by removing troops, he failed. The Saudis are not happy now.
• Saudi Prince Saud al-Shaalan reminded us, “Anybody that challenges the existence of this country and this kingdom. All of us, we are products of jihad, and martyrdom.” This is not something you want to hear from the guy who pumps your gas.

4. Why? Why? Why, dear God, why?

• For the last few years, COVID-19 has wrecked the economy, caused lockdowns and taken down leaders, but we still appear willing to play around with the virus. It is believed the virus came from a lab in Wuhan, China, where scientists were modifying the virus. It looks like a Boston University lab is doing it now.
• Boston University brags that its scientists have created a virus that allegedly kills 80% of the mice it infects, it is expected to be more contagious and more deadly. We learned nothing from COVID-19

3. Spike in gun crimes in Birmingham has police chief angry

• Alabama’s second-largest city is heading toward a record-breaking body count, morale is low, staffing is suffering and the chief of police is pissed. Birmingham Police Chief Scott Thurmond, four months into the job, says, “We’re destroying ourselves.”
• Birmingham City Council Member Hunter Williams seems to be happy with the job the new chief is doing when he says, “Throughout all of the other chiefs, my office did get calls and complaints about police-related matters that were under the chiefs’ purview and, since Chief Thurmond taking over, I have not gotten any calls.” But that metric seems insignificant when the body count is at a record high.

2. An actual doctor called suicide of a trans teen “bold”

• In a misguided push to get the state of Alabama to allow “gender-affirming” care, an actual real-world doctor implied the lack of such care led to a suicide, which she called “boldly ending her life.” What about the Hippocratic oath? What about do no harm?
• Morissa Jean Ladinsky, Associate Professor of Pediatrics at Children’s of Alabama and specialist at UAB’s LGBTQ+ Mental Health & Wellness Clinic, was quoted by another doctor who was shocked by her words that she said “glorifying suicide.” Threats of mass trans suicide has been an effective weapon in the fight for trans surgery for minors but the science shows suicide is more prevalent after the “transition.”

1. Tuberville responds to outrage over his crime remarks

• U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Auburn) has broken a week-long silence by giving an exclusive statement to the Alabama Daily News about the often nefariously misquoted comment about crime and “reparation,” which has been taken as “reparations.”
• Tuberville accurately notes the media, including most in Alabama, are trying to use his comments to help Democrats, “The issue is crime, not race, but the liberal media is intent on helping Democrats remain in power.” Speaking on the original issue itself, Tuberville said, “crime has spiked nationwide under Democrats and their ‘Defund the Police’ policies, and I was pointing out the frustration many Americans share when I spoke last weekend.”
