I don't care if this offends some people. Maybe we need to be offended. We need something to change in a hurry. This is a big, messed up world. I am tired of these scumbag, lowlife vermin being on the streets of Alabama, Mississippi and about 30 other states, so they can shoot our children.

It should not be labeled "controversial" in the least. Yet, that is exactly how I am seeing it labeled on social media. Now, it's getting picked up on late night tv shows and being spread across the world. When did we totally lose our ability to have a laugh and get over it? Why does everything have to be a huge ordeal?

"I didn't want to get shot. I was just trying to survive the gun being held to my neck". Those words from a Tuscaloosa, Alabama man, as he told me his story, replay over and over in my head. Bo White is just like me. Bo White is just like most of you. He probably wasn't expecting the sleazy, felons, crooks, thugs and loser, lowlife dirtbags to be waiting for him and watching him from down the street.

Four armed men jumped out of their vehicle and they all had guns pointed at Bo White. They demanded the keys to his automobile.

Finally, we go back to movie theatres to see movies like "Top Gun: Maverick", the new "Jurassic World Dominion" and "Elvis" this summer. Now, the theatres may not have any popcorn. Or any other movie snacks. CinemaCon is the big movie theatre convention each year. This year, the talk among all the theatre owners was about the concession stand. Norm Krug is the CEO of Preferred Popcorn, a big supplier to theatres in Alabama and beyond. At the convention he said "The popcorn supply will be tight!"

One positive for the restaurant industry of West Alabama, only a few places made the list this spring. So, that's a good thing. The recent Spring 2022 health department ratings/scores mention several establishments I have frequented in West Alabama. Maybe you have as well.

WELL, it looks that way. According to multiple sources. Rumors online in the 2010's, claimed that a Walmart managers conference in 2012, directed store managers to let shoplifters go. Especially in cases of petty thefts. As the story went, Walmart already had an insurance policy that covered shoplifting.

That's what I'm thinking tonight after another horrible shooting at an elementary school. The dust has not settled yet, and as of press time we know that 19 children were murdered this afternoon. School only has two days left. It has been chaos down at Robb Elementary, so the numbers could rise overnight.

Gubernatorial candidate Lindy Blanchard graduated from Auburn University. She is a multi-millionaire due to her career in Real Estate, and she wants to replace Kay Ivey. She is an EXTREMELY Pro-Life candidate. Maybe one of the most Pro-Life candidates ever in Alabama politics.

I didn't want to do this story. I really do NOT need another critter/insect/animal to be freaked out by in Alabama...or anywhere else for that matter. However, if I have to be freaked out about it, well, so do you.
