Woman Who Stopped to Help Toddler on Highway Was Kidnapped and Fought for Her Life, Boyfriend Says

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The boyfriend of an Alabama woman who mysteriously turned up home two days after vanishing when she stopped to help a toddler in the middle of a busy highway says she was kidnapped and spent the time “fighting for her life.”

Carlethia “Carlee” Nichole Russell, 25, was reported safe at home on Saturday night following a two-day search prompted by her screams over the phone when she pulled over to assist a child wandering the I-459, police said.

Thomar Latrell Simmons, Russell’s boyfriend, claims the good Samaritan was actually kidnapped and is currently recovering after having gone through the awful ordeal.

“She was literally fighting for her life for 48 hours, so until she’s physically & mentally stable again, she is not able to give any updates or whereabouts on her kidnapper at this very moment,” Simmons wrote on Facebook Sunday.

His post echoes what Russell’s parents alleged earlier Sunday, that the child their daughter tried to help was actually used as “bait” to lure her out of her car and kidnap. (Read more from “Woman Who Stopped to Help Toddler on Highway Was Kidnapped and Fought for Her Life, Boyfriend Says” HERE)

Southern Poverty Law Center ‘Hate’ List Suffers Legal Setback

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The Southern Poverty Law Center’s famous list of “hate” groups is under fire in a courtroom in Alabama, where a judge has opened the door for a group that opposes illegal immigration to challenge the SPLC for slapping it with the Scarlet H.

The Georgia-based Dustin Inman Society and founder D.A. King say they work against illegal immigration but have no problem with legal immigrants. Indeed, some legal immigrants are on the organization’s board, and Mr. King’s adopted sister is an immigrant.

He says it’s defamation for the SPLC to call him an “anti-immigrant hate group.”

The SPLC asked a judge to toss the case, but U.S. District Judge W. Keith Watkins refused in a ruling last week. He said Mr. King should have a chance to develop his case and seek more evidence against the SPLC through discovery.

“Plaintiffs have ‘nudged’ their defamation claims — premised on SPLC’s designation of DIS as an ‘anti-immigrant hate group’ — ‘across the line from conceivable to plausible,’” Judge Watkins wrote. (Read more from “Southern Poverty Law Center ‘Hate’ List Suffers Legal Setback” HERE)

Woman Who Joined ISIS in 2014 Wants to Come Home to Alabama

/0 Comments/in , /by

A former ISIS bride is requesting that the United States allow her to return to her home state of Alabama from a Syrian refugee camp.

Hoda Muthana ran away from her home in Alabama at 20 years old to join the Islamic State, even having a child with one of the soldiers. Joining the group in 2014, Muthana said she was brainwashed by online traffickers and regrets all of her decisions, beside having her child, according to Yahoo! News.

“It’s basically like the same day on repeat, for four years,” Muthana said of life inside camp, adding that “the only different thing is your child is growing,” she added.

“If I need to sit in prison, and do my time, I will do it … I won’t fight against it,” she said in a recent interview.

However, in 2015, Muthana was rather enthusiastic about joining ISIS, posting online about burning her passport and encouraging others to commit terrorist attacks in America. (Read more from “Woman Who Joined ISIS in 2014 Wants to Come Home to Alabama” HERE)

A Would-Be School Invader in Alabama Failed When the Doors Were Locked and Police Weren’t Cowards

/0 Comments/in , /by

While Democrats continue exploiting the Uvalde shooting victims to prattle on about “assault weapons” and so-called “common-sense gun control,” another school was attacked on Thursday, but it won’t make the headlines.

That’s because this school — Walnut Park Elementary School in Gadsden, Alabama — didn’t have any victims except the would-be invader, who was shot dead by police after he tried and failed to bust into the building. Here’s how it all reportedly went down.

A passerby saw a man “aggressively” trying to get into the school building. When the man was unsuccessful, he tried several other doors, all of which were locked. The responsible observer called to report the man, the school principal put the building on lockdown and called in a police officer who doubles as the school resource officer, and that officer called for backup. If the reports are correct, the chain of command worked smoothly thanks to decisive action and quickly followed protocols.

The resource officer reportedly engaged the would-be invader, who then also allegedly attempted to forcefully enter a marked police vehicle and to take the officer’s gun. More police officers rushed to the scene to help, and the assailant was shot and killed. According to the city’s school superintendent, the schoolchildren who were there “seemed to be unaware the incident occurred.”

In other words, a man who “aggressively” tried to break into a school and take the firearm of a police officer was stopped because doors were properly locked and police officers acted bravely and urgently.

Man Forced to Return ‘Offensive’ Let’s Go Brandon License Plate

/0 Comments/in , /by

An Alabama man is being instructed to return a personalized “LGBF JB” license plate he received in January after ordering it in October or he would have his vehicle registration canceled because the plate featured “objectionable language.”

The Alabama Department of Revenue’s Motor Vehicle Division in February recalled the license plate and sent a letter to the man telling him to return the license plate for language it considered “objectionable” because the letters are seen as a reference to “Let’s go, Brandon, f–k Joe Biden.”

The license plate is yellow and includes the “Don’t Tread on Me” Gadsen symbol. The vehicle also features a license plate cover that reads “FJB” and “Let’s Go Brandon” but the cover was not purchased from the state along with the plate.

The vehicle’s owner, Nathan Kirk, was told in the letter that the state considered the license plate to be “offensive to the peace and dignity of the State of Alabama,” according to The Trussville Tribune.

Kirk’s registration for the license plate would not be issued or renewed, the letter read, adding that he must return the license plate within 10 days or face fines of “$500 for the first offense and $1,000 for the second or subsequent offense” on top of his vehicle’s registration being revoked.

Landlords Ask Supreme Court To Strike Down COVID Eviction Moratorium

/0 Comments/in , /by

A group of Alabama landlords is asking the Supreme Court to strike down a nationwide eviction moratorium put in place during the coronavirus pandemic.

The request, filed late Thursday evening, came after a federal appeals court in Washington, D.C., declined to end the policy, which was instituted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention last year. The group, led by the Alabama Association of Realtors, said CDC officials had overstepped their authority by halting evictions.

The group asked Chief Justice John Roberts, who handles requests from the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, to grant an emergency order allowing evictions to resume. . .

The CDC’s moratorium is set to expire in June. Its expiration date has already been extended several times. The order was originally instituted to prevent the spread of the pandemic in overcrowded buildings. (Read more from “Landlords Ask Supreme Court To Strike Down COVID Eviction Moratorium” HERE)

Sheriff’s Captain Allegedly Fired for Supporting Constitutional Carry

/0 Comments/in , /by

Alabama state Rep. Shane Stringer (R-Citronelle) was a Mobile County Sheriff’s Office captain until his support for constitutional carry allegedly led Sheriff Sam Cochran to relieve him of his law enforcement position.

AL.com reported that Cochran’s spokeswoman, Lori Myles, said, “Sheriff Sam Cochran made the decisions Wednesday, May 12, because of different political views held by his administration.”

Myles indicated “Stringer’s sponsorship of legislation supportive of constitutional carry ran afoul of the Sheriff’s views on the issue,” the outlet noted.

WALA pointed out that Stringer claims Cochran told him his termination was tied to constitutional carry legislation he is currently sponsoring.

Stringer’s bill, House Bill 618, would mean law-abiding Alabama residents would no longer need to get a permit from the state in order to exercise their Second Amendment right to bear arms. (Read more from “Sheriff’s Captain Allegedly Fired for Supporting Constitutional Carry” HERE)

University Accused Of Violating Free Exercise Clause With Vaccine Mandate

/1 Comment/in , /by

The University of Alabama-Birmingham has been accused in a letter from First Liberty Institute of violating the Constitution’s requirement protecting free exercise of religion because it grants other exemptions from its vaccine requirements for students, but not for religious students.

“UAB’s policy triggers, and subsequently fails, strict scrutiny under recent Supreme Court precedent interpreting the Free Exercise Clause,” explained a letter from the institute. “In addition, UAB’s immunization policy impermissibly burdens Gale’s religious exercise under the Alabama Religious Freedom Amendment. To conform with both state and federal legal protections, UAB should provide Gale, and other students like her with religious objections to UAB’s mandated vaccines, a religious exemption to its immunization policy.”

The letter to the school was on behalf of Jackie Gale, a sophomore at the school who previously was allowed to register and attend classes without meeting the school’s vaccine requirement policy.

The vaccines at issue are not COVID vaccines.

At issue are vaccinations for “Measles, Mumps, and Rubella (which would require two MMR shots), Tetanus, Diphtheria, and Acellular Pertussis (requiring one Tdap shot), Chickenpox/Shingles (requiring two VZVIgG shots), Meningitis (requiring one Menactra, Menveo, or Mennomune shot), as well as proof that she underwent a Tuberculosis screening.” (Read more from “University Accused Of Violating Free Exercise Clause With Vaccine Mandate” HERE)

State Passes Resolution Naming Trump ‘One of the Greatest’ Presidents

/1 Comment/in , , /by

The Alabama Republican Party passed a unanimous resolution declaring former President Donald Trump “one of the greatest and most effective” presidents in US history, presenting him with a framed copy on Saturday, according to a report.

The memento was gifted to Trump during a reception at his Florida resort, Mar-a-Lago, on Saturday evening.

“The resolution, basically, it just talks about the greatness of Donald J. Trump, how he made America great again and I hope other states will follow suit,” Perry Hooper Jr., a former state representative and a member of the Alabama GOP’s executive committee, told Fox News prior to the ceremony. . .

The resolution declares Trump “one of the greatest and most effective presidents in the 245-year history of this Republic” and details some of his accomplishments in the Oval Office — and blasts his successor, President Biden.
