November 10th is the Marine Corp Birthday and November 11th is Veterans Day. On these two days I always reflect on my fathers career in the Army, where he served during WW II and later retired as a Colonel. I think of my first cousin, Freddie, who was killed in Vietnam, while I was in Vietnam. His death impacted my extended family, who has dearly missed him this last 52 years. I think of a high school buddy and fellow Marine, Boogie, who was haunted throughout his life with the experiences of the 1968 Tet offensive and battle of Khe Sahn. I think of John, Iraq War, a multiple amputee, who is embarrassed at how the Veterans Administration has treated him. I think of another Veteran, of Iraq, Willy, or Will Boy. Willy was like a son and his death drove home the meaning of heartache. They were Veterans, they took an OATH, gave their lives, body parts, or were mentally wounded for life. They were VETERANS, not suckers and loser's, not draft dodgers, VETERANS.
The Media Companies/News Outlets are confident and have called the 2020 Presidential Election for Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. We discuss what is still going on at the State level where the counts continue until certified. We discuss the politics of transition and the mechanics of the bureaucracy that must be served. No pardons on the table as of tonight.
90,000 new cases of SARS-COV-2 have been reported in the USA as of 6:00pm-Central Time– a grim milestone. 43,300,000 confirmed infections worldwide with a total of 1,800,000 deaths; 9,020,000 infections in the USA with 229,000 deaths; 189,000 cases in Alabama with 2,900 deaths. Hurricane Zeta hit the Alabama coast on Wednesday and because of the speed at which it was moving there were 100 mph winds much further inland than is typical and hit communities that were ill prepared. In the wake of Hurricane Sally last month the citizens of the Gulf Coast have a lot more than "Covid Fatigue". Please give blood if you are healthy and contact the Red Cross or Operation Barbecue Relief ( to donate resources if you are able.
Fairhope you made the biggest mistake voters could make, you let the bees eat the honey. Only 15% of the registered voters decided who would become Mayor of Fairhope. Well Fairhope “I told ya so”, Queen Bee Sullivan is getting her just reward. The three B’s on the council, Boone Brown and Burrell, are making sure Sullivan gets her share of the honey, right out of the hive. Her honey pot reward has been announced even before the Queen Bee has been sworn in.
39.068,667 SARS-COV-2 cases worldwide with a total of 1,100,364 deaths. The USA has 7,997,969 cases with 217,987 deaths. Alabama tops the scales at 170,374 cases and 2,786 deaths. University of Alabama Football Coach Nick Saban and several of his staff have tested positive (Trump better hope he lives until the election). Ronald Greene’s Family was told that he died as a result of his injuries when his car was involved in a collision as he ran from police; all evidence to the contrary (new audio leaked) indicates he was beaten to death by Louisiana State Troopers. Video not available per State Statute (that protects evidence when it is part of an investigation). Spanish Fort Mayor Mike McMillan slipped-the-noose today. He was found not guilty at a bench trial adjudicated by retired Circuit Judge James Reid. Evidence was.....E.I...E.I.......O.......The End. But we show you the video evidence anyway.
Baldwin County citizens have just been slapped in the face. Want to know why Alabama is number one in corruption and the butt of jokes? It is because the judicial system stinks and people with power or money, WALK. “Slappin Mike” McMillian the newly elected Mayor of Spanish Fort, WALKED, NOT GUILTY. Forget the video, it was a figment of our imagination. Slappin Mike joins the Sean Connery Club. The Attorneys and Judge just slapped us in the face.
Yes we have had so many hurricanes this season that we ran out of names and are using the Greek alphabet, this storm will be known as Hurricane Delta 2020. Have a good thought for the people of LA and MISS who will be directly impacted. Meanwhile there are 36,669,238 SARS-COV-2 cases worldwide with a total of 1,063,869 deaths. The USA has 7,620,052 cases with 213,016 deaths. Alabama tops the scales at 163,465 cases and 2,653 deaths. There is a surge in Milwaukee, Wisconsin of concern. Governor Ivey lifted her Evacuation Order for Alabama related to non-residents in anticipation of Delta last night; just in time for the special Red Snapper season coinciding with the Tropical Storm warning.
Sally kicked Baldwin County’s ass, however we missed the Delta bullet. Poor Lake Charles is getting what some of us expected last Monday, round two of a direct hit by a hurricane. In Lake Charles they have picked up 1.5 million cubic yards of debris, so far, and they are now facing the possibility of doing it all over again. Link No Longer Exists Count your lucky stars Baldwin County and do not complain about debris pickup. The county as a whole lost thousands of trees and cleanup will take months, if not a year. Fairhope is doing a good job at 11,000 cu yards a day, now divide that into 1.5 million cubic yards and guess how many truck loads it will take to clean the county?
I have been Missing In Action from social media since September 15th and it feels like a year. Right before the storm, I received news of my best friend’s grandson was killed on a motorcycle. Needless to say his daughter was as devastated as he was. While sitting there trying to comprehend the loss, I got a call from the father of a gentleman I was advocating for in a property dispute. He informed me his son had become stressed out over the issue, and he had committed suicide.
