7. Alabama’s football team is now No. 8 in the college football coaches poll rankings following a decisive 30-14 victory over Vanderbilt, shutting up a trash-talking crotch-grabbing Deigo Pavia and getting vengeance for last year’s 40-35 loss.
6. A 3-year-old girl from Baldwin County was returned to Alabama after being allegedly kidnapped by her mother and taken to Mexico as payment for her illegal immigrant boyfriend’s cartel debts, following her father’s plea and international intervention; the mother has been arrested and is in custody.
5. The Alabama-based Southern Poverty Law Center’s absurd hate group map has been dumped by the FBI. The group has been further embarrassed after the assassination of Charlie Kirk exposed how the group targeted Kirk and Turning Point USA as purveyors of hate, which is obviously not true.
4. Candidate for governor, Virginia Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears has released a campaign ad highlighting another call for violence by a Democrat. This time it is AG candidate Jay Jones, who maintains the support of prominent Democrats, after his violent text messages calling for the death of a Republican politician and her children were exposed.
3. The media and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) are whining and complaining that President Donald Trump’s recent actions, and memes, are unhinged and unreasonable.

1. Governor-elect National Championship-winning Coach Tommy Tuberville (R-Auburn) says this has to stop, “Crime has become too common in Montgomery, and this cannot continue. It’s past time for city leadership to take responsibility and put an end to this,” and voiced support for sending in the National Guard.
