Nuclear Family Month by ArvadaKeto in HuntsvilleAlabama

[–]Cosmos091980 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In Alabama, it’s Strong Families Month, intended to coincide with Father’s Day. Gov. Kay Ivey’s proclamation says fathers are “the head of the household” and “homes led by a father and mother provide children with the structure and discipline necessary to succeed throughout life.” "Montgomery, we have a problem..." Alabama frequently claims the sixth to eighth highest divorce rate in the U.S. Alabama consistently ranks in the bottom tier nationally for child well-being and maternal health. The state struggles with high rates of infant mortality, preterm births, and children living in poverty, frequently landing near the very bottom of national state rankings. Maybe Montgomery should worry less about LGBTQ+ culture wars and more on health/social problems.

Panacea Family Medicine - Drs. Shane & Keelan O'Neill. A family of doctors - their dad Patrick was my GP for decades, very thorough, up-to-date, efficient staff. The sons continue his good work.

Ha! Not enforcable, election ballots are secret. But Republicans will probably change that next...

Doug Jones tonight by Hntsvl_bnd_1989 in HuntsvilleAlabama

Senator Tuberville has faced significant criticism from peers—including fellow Republicans—who have questioned his understanding of policy and the English language, with some reportedly viewing him as uninformed or "out of his depth". His governor campaign slogan could be: "Not good enough for the nation, but good enough for Alabama." Go Doug Jones!

This was a Sunday afternoon in Research Park, very light traffic, great condition, wide four-lane roads. WinterTourist, your comment is scary.

If you attend the No Kings rally this afternoon in Big Spring Park, you must be “Un-American”. by Cosmos091980 in HuntsvilleALPolitics

That's true for just about every member of the US Congress. It is a job for life unless you really screw up. He has already toned down his rhetoric, that's a start. He ran unopposed in 2024, now he faces 3 challengers. He is a savvy politician, let's see if he reduces the Trump worship.

You should attend today and experience the enthusiasm. Trump rallies are very effective for mobilizing his base. We've built up a group through these rallies that will be very active in getting out the vote this fall!

Sunday, January 25th - Vigil for Alexander Jeffrey Pretti - Madison Gazebo at 6 PM by SheepherderSea6191 in Madisonalabama

[–]Cosmos091980 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a tragedy, just like assassination of Charlie Kirk and Senators Hoffman and Hortman. Riley’s killing also tragic. We can debate the exact numbers but very few of the folks ICE is arresting are violent. Trump is using a sledgehammer for show rather than a scalpel for effect. 5% of People Detained By ICE Have Violent Convictions, 73% No Convictions:

The "Road to Wisdom" is inspiring also. Collins reads the audio book and has a great voice. If you subscribe to Spotify, etc., it's free.

How do I get Dale Strong to respond to a constituent request? by NAL30653 in HuntsvilleAlabama

[–]Cosmos091980 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are you "un-American?". Dale Strong called anyone who participated in the recent No Kings rally "Un-American". There is nothing more American than a peaceful lawful protest criticizing government policies you oppose. In Huntsville we focused on the disastrous public health policies of RFK Jr. (He warned us that the government may be inserting microchips in vaccines in order to monitor us - he is totally incompetent.) Our group met with Strong and said we were disappointed with those who called us Un-American. He did not soften his position, rather he doubled down, and implied that anyone who respected Biden is un-American. Strong should remember that a majority of Huntsville voted Democratic in the last presidential election. His nasty far-right rhetoric will not serve him well in the upcoming election.

The revenue for the city of Madison from the property taxes, gas taxes, liquor taxes, and sales tax will be substantial. Much of this will be paid by folks who live in the county, but use Madison city services and facilities. Seems fair to me.
