January 6th will go down in history for several reasons: Georgia elects two Democrats as Senators and the balance of power in Washington shifts from red to blue. The President gets all the credit for their success in being elected. Covid numbers hit historic highs in the number of cases and number of deaths in the United States. These horrible numbers gained very little press. A rally was held by President Trump, contesting the Presidential election. The President and his son told the crowd to “Take it to the State House”, Rudy Giuliani, encouraged “Trial by Combat”, To the over 250,000 people that showed up. Alabama’s, ice age, Mo Brooks was first to stir up and encouraged the crowd to “kick Ass”.
83,718,625 SARS-COV-2 cases worldwide with 1,822,467 deaths. The USA has topped 30 Million cases and suffered 350,000 deaths. AstraZeneca vaccine was approved for use in the UK. The US Senate just voted to override Trump's veto of the National Defense Appropriation Bill, which will limit his powers to withdraw troops in certain circumstances and renames all bases named for the losers in the War of Northern Aggression (that's a joke).
If every municipality in Alabama had a “Concerned Citizen” such as the one in Columbia, Alabama, Alabama would not be so political corrupt. A concerned citizen is just the first step, where the hell is the Ethics Commission, Attorney General or FBI? If the allegations did not have supporting documents I can see where the complaint would go no where. But in the case of Columbia documents, witnesses exist and yet the Columbia City Council hides like sheep while the Mayor and Police Chief ignore any and all allegations.
75,179,000 SARS-COV-2 cases confirmed Worldwide with 1,667,000 deaths. The USA this week marks the grim milestone of 300,000 dead and more than 17,256,000 confirmed cases. Alabama Governor Kay Ivey extended the mask order for 6 more weeks. Huge hack this week that Trump has said mum about, more than likely Russia. Some Lagniappe stories to warm your soul. A lynching memorial to be added at the Baldwin County Courthouse. Columbia, Alabama corruption, illegal wine at the Sewer Plant, and much more.
Why is Alabama so corrupt? Because all the Alabama government agencies or elected officials refuse to do their jobs. Alabama has all the mechanisms to expose corruption and jails for those convicted. In Alabama we have Alabama Corruption Insurance. It is available to all elected officials. From Sheriff Dept. to City Council, Judges, Mayors, Circuit and District Courts. The Insurance is free and provided by the same parties that are suppose to protect it’s constituents, citizens of the State. The Governor, Attorney general, The Judiciary, The Bar Association and of course the major provider, Alabama Ethics Commission.
All of us have read news articles that have driven us up the wall, but this article and story is insane and most likely a perfect example of someone with power who wants his own way. What the Ripp Report calls political corruption. That someone, is stepping on the feet of county commissioners and the Zoning department. The County Commissioners are now going to have to take a stand in a situation that should never have reached the controversy it has.
DOLLARS The City of Fairhope’s 6.2 million dollar waterfront project became a political hot potato during the last municipal election. Politicians put their feet in their mouths and now are trying to spin a new narrative. The new narrative will be what Mayor Sullivan and the, other Mayor, Jack Burrell want. HOWLING RAINS PASSING GAS - Ripp Report Fairhope City Council President Jack Burrell said he heard birds, and the sky was blue, that he felt Fairhope was going to have peace and calm in the …
The Mayor of Fairhope and the City Council got hammered by the public, medical professionals and first responders over the city’s decision to have a large public gathering for the lighting of the trees. I must say that it was quite satisfying to see such a response from a community that often is not paying attention to city affairs. “TAKE A CHANCE” - Ripp Report 1701 Covid deaths in one day, 250,000 total U.S. deaths, 11 million cases so far in the United States. One person is dying every 50 seconds. …
