Josh and David analyze the Trump administration's contentious decision to cancel a DOJ agreement addressing Lowndes County's severe sewage issues, linking it to the anti-DEI agenda and its harmful real-world consequences. They also scrutinize State Representative Corey Harbison's prolonged absence from the Legislature while still drawing a salary, sparking a debate on accountability and the problematic practice of voting by proxy.Then, immigration attorney Ruby Adams provides insight into the pervasive fear within immigrant communities, the challenges of navigating the legal system under the current administration, and the alarming implications of disregarding due process exemplified by cases like Mr. Kilmar Abrego Garcia. She touches on the chilling effect on reporting crimes and accessing education due to this environment of fear.Finally, David offers a "hot take" connecting the past handling of Osama Bin Laden to present-day concerns about due process erosion. This leads into this week's Rightwing Nut of the Week, focusing on Republican politicians engaging in performative and dehumanizing photo opportunities at a notorious El Salvadorian prison, highlighting a disturbing lack of empathy.Connect with Us X/Twitter FacebookAbout Our SponsorAlabama Politics This Week is sponsored by Wind Creek Hospitality.

What does absentee ownership actually mean in franchising? Is it really possible, or is it just another myth in the industry? In this replay, Erik talks to his business partners, Luke Jacobson and Terry Rackley from StretchLab, who share their raw and honest journey from hopeful semi-absentee franchisees to successful business partners. After experiencing the reality of burning through 6 managers in 8 months and watching their "10-hour work week" transform into something completely different, they reveal what actually makes absentee ownership possible. Their partnership story shows how the right structure can change everything, leading to profitability increases of up to 200% in some locations. The conversation pulls back the curtain on franchise success: the truth about support systems, the power of systematic organization, the critical role of employee retention, and most importantly - what it really takes to be a successful absentee owner in franchising.   “We're not a franchisee that does something totally different than what the franchise is asking. We actually stay pretty close. We're not trying to reinvent the wheel, but on the people side, we try to go above and beyond. They'll take care of customers, which in turn will get us good results.” ~ Terry Rackley   In This Episode: - Luke's background and how he got into franchising - Terry's background and how he met Luke and Erik - How Luke and Terry became business partners - The importance of speed in opening new locations - Erik's role in the partnership - Why leadership and organizational skills matter in business - Critical factors in running a successful business - Is absentee ownership a myth? - What comes to mind when you hear the term top franchisees? - What does a healthy franchisee-franchisor relationship look like? - Why is aggressive organization necessary when managing a business? - What makes partnerships a good thing?   Resources:

This Day in Legal History: Saddam Hussein Sentenced to DeathOn November 5, 2006, Saddam Hussein, former President of Iraq, was sentenced to death by hanging by the Iraqi High Tribunal. This judgment followed a lengthy trial process in which Hussein was found guilty of crimes against humanity, including the 1982 mass killing of 148 Shiite Muslims in the town of Dujail. The Dujail massacre was carried out in response to a failed assassination attempt on Hussein, leading to mass arrests, torture, and the destruction of local farmland. Hussein's trial, held in Baghdad, was one of the most closely watched and controversial trials of its time, bringing international focus on Iraq's fledgling judicial system and the challenges it faced in balancing fairness with the demand for justice.The trial faced various disruptions, including assassinations of defense lawyers, allegations of bias, and criticisms regarding procedural flaws. Hussein himself was often defiant in court, questioning the legitimacy of the tribunal and claiming that his actions as president were lawful under Iraqi sovereignty. Despite these defenses, the court concluded that the atrocities committed in Dujail warranted the ultimate penalty. Hussein's sentence and subsequent execution on December 30, 2006, marked a historic moment, as it was one of the few instances in modern history where a former head of state was tried, sentenced, and executed by his own country's judiciary. While some viewed the trial and execution as a symbol of justice for Iraq, others criticized it as a rushed process influenced by U.S. political interests in the region. The execution, carried out on a holy day for Muslims, further polarized public opinion and left a complex legacy, both within Iraq and internationally.As the 2024 U.S. presidential election nears, the Supreme Court is preparing for a potential influx of election-related litigation, echoing the post-2020 legal battles when Donald Trump and his allies challenged his loss to Joe Biden. Although the Supreme Court largely dismissed Trump's 2020 appeals, legal experts anticipate another wave of lawsuits if the upcoming race, currently tight according to polls, results in a Trump loss. Already, some cases have reached the Supreme Court, including one involving Pennsylvania mail-in ballots—an issue also contested in 2020.The court's conservative majority, which includes three Trump appointees, may face pressure to rule on election-related disputes. Although the Supreme Court recently provided Trump some legal wins, including reversing a Colorado ruling disqualifying him from the ballot, experts doubt it will intervene to decide the election outcome unless it is extremely close. Nonetheless, lawsuits have proliferated, with the Republican National Committee leading numerous pre-election suits, ostensibly for election integrity, though many have not succeeded in court.The 2022 Electoral Count Reform Act also limits post-election legal disruptions by refining the process for certifying election results in Congress. Experts suggest that, despite the possible involvement of the court in narrow-margin scenarios, the current legal activity may be more focused on influencing public perception, potentially to undermine acceptance of the election's legitimacy.US Supreme Court girds for rush of election-related litigation | ReutersOn November 4, 2024, a Pennsylvania judge ruled that Elon Musk's $1 million-a-day voter giveaway could continue despite allegations that it might constitute an illegal lottery. Musk's pro-Trump America PAC launched the giveaway to voters in key swing states, offering daily payouts to those who sign a petition supporting free speech and gun rights. However, during court proceedings, America PAC's director admitted that winners were selected based on their suitability as spokespeople, rather than by random drawing as initially claimed by Musk.Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner argued that the selective nature of the giveaway constitutes fraud and sought to block it, citing vague rules and potential violations of federal law prohibiting payments for voter registration. Although the judge denied Krasner's request to halt the contest, he did not immediately provide a detailed explanation.Legal experts are divided on whether this promotion violates election laws, particularly given the Department of Justice's prior warnings to America PAC. Critics argue that the payouts could distort the election process, as Pennsylvania's electoral votes are pivotal in this closely contested race.Pennsylvania judge allows Elon Musk's $1 million voter giveaway | ReutersOn November 4, 2024, the Georgia Supreme Court ruled that Cobb County cannot extend its deadline for counting approximately 3,000 absentee ballots sent out shortly before Election Day, a decision that aligns with the Republican National Committee's (RNC) stance and benefits Donald Trump's campaign. This ruling overturns a lower court's extension that would have allowed ballots to be counted through Friday, limiting the count only to ballots arriving by 7 p.m. on Election Day. Civil rights groups had sought an extension, arguing the county delayed ballot mailings due to high demand, potentially disenfranchising affected voters. However, the RNC argued that extending the deadline would violate Georgia law. Cobb County, a racially diverse area in Atlanta's suburbs, is seen as a crucial battleground, having leaned Democratic in recent elections. The court also ordered that ballots arriving after the deadline be set aside, though affected voters can still vote in person on Election Day. Georgia's decision may significantly impact the presidential race, as the state is critical in the close contest between Trump and Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris.Georgia top court won't extend ballot deadline in win for Trump | ReutersElection Op-EdAs you head to the polls today, I'm not here to tell you who to vote for. You have to decide that for yourself. Instead, I'd like to offer a few brief anecdotes from the past to think about. This election cycle, debates over sporting events and who gets to participate in them have taken center stage in a way that feels unprecedented. Yet, the arguments for exclusion are far from new—they have a long and disturbing history. Time and again, appeals to "fairness," "tradition," and "protecting the game" have been used to justify keeping certain groups out of sports. In the full light of history, it is clear: among right minded individuals, these arguments have consistently aged poorly, serving only to reveal the bias and fear underlying them, and the misguided thoughts of the time, rather than any genuine concern for the sport itself.In short, concerns about "outsiders" or "unqualified" individuals entering sports aren't new. Over the years, similar arguments have been used repeatedly to exclude certain groups from competing, often with claims about preserving the integrity or "purity" of the game–usually by folks that care little about sport and are more interested in using it as a cudgel against the vulnerable. I wonder if these arguments sound familiar: * Some argued that a new group would "ruin the quality" of the game;* Others that their participation would be "unfair" to other players; * Still others insisted that they would "lack the skills" needed to succeed at the highest level;* Some insisted their presence would "change the culture" of the sport;* Or their presence would be a “distraction” to fans and players alike. Those were all arguments made before Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier in Major League Baseball. I wonder if they sound similar to arguments made today. When a politician runs on a platform that they will keep a given sport “pure” — ask yourself, what is more likely: are they great patrons of women's sports or are they using them as a weapon to attack the vulnerable and achieve their own ends?I don't know about you, but when I heard Jackie Robinson's story as a kid I always envisioned myself, in my most ambitious moments, as one of the players that would have embraced him. When I was a bit more introspective regarding my own talents and abilities, I envisioned myself as a fan that would cheer when he took the field – not a heckler. And I can honestly say I never pictured myself as a baseball executive that would have actively worked to exclude him, and players like him. If history doesn't repeat itself but rhymes, it may be worth considering what from history rhymes with the political positions of your chosen candidate when you go to vote today.  This is a public episode.

Today, they discuss growing confidence that the GOP will defend all its Senate seats, Democrats already assigning blame if Harris loses, and voting issues popping up in multiple states.First, they discuss GOP Nebraska Sen. Deb Fischer's stronger position as two different polls show her leading an “independent” opponent who previously supported Bernie Sanders. A Fischer win would boost chances of Republican control, and Jim points to this as another likely example of Democrats possibly overestimating their chances in a traditionally red state.Next, Jim and Greg chuckle over Democrats reportedly pointing fingers in the event Kamala Harris loses next week. Anonymous operatives hint at criticism of her nontraditional nomination process and the choice of Tim Walz as VP nominee if Trump secures victory. Jim and Greg see the biggest story here being that Democrats are pessimistic enough to talk publicly about a loss that hasn't happened.Finally, they discuss recurring issues as early voting unfolds.

Meanwhile, a Washington state voter reports receiving 16 absentee ballots with various names at her address. Why aren't these issues being flagged before people start voting?

Here are 3 big things you need to know—   One — Chinese hackers have targeted Donald Trump and JD Vance's cell phone data.  Several reports say the FBI notified the campaign of the possible breach last week.  The China-backed cybercriminals, known as Salt Typhoon, reportedly gained access to several telecom companies, including Verizon and AT&T.  It's unknown if they obtained any data.  Other current government officials were also targeted.   Two ---- Health officials say the number of E. coli cases linked to McDonald's is up to 75.  The CDC says outbreak has impacted people in 13 states and led to 22 hospitalizations.  One person died in Colorado.  McDonald's removed its quarter pounder hamburger from the menu at around a fifth of its locations in response to the outbreak.   And number three — Local clerks throughout Michigan can now pre-process absentee and early in-person ballots.  The clerk in Warren, however, says she will not do that over the chance for results "to get leaked or compromised" and says she "will not risk compromising the integrity of the election."  This is the first presidential election in Michigan where early in-person voting is allowed and clerks have up to eight days to pre-process the ballots.

2024 is not 2020, and the left is finding that out the hard way. Multiple national crises gave liberals an excuse to break every election law they thought they could get away with. Absentee voting was key by maximizing turnout among low information voters willing to go with the flow. It was aided by illegal ballot harvesting operations in cities across the state. Ballot drop boxes figured prominently in their plans. This year, they can't blame a republican incumbent for the nation's problems. Absentee ballot requests are way down in battleground Wisconsin. There were twice as many absentee ballots floating around Wisconsin at this point in 2020. There are fewer drop boxes too. Only a fraction compared to 2020. It must be frustrating, because they're clearly lashing out. Ask Mayor Diny in Wausau about that. He can tell you, don't underestimate what liberals are capable of. When the left thinks it's losing, that's when it's the most dangerous.

STORY 2:  Two Injured in Commercial Fire on Univeter Road A fire at Carmichael Development on Univeter Road in Canton resulted in two people being hospitalized with burn injuries. The fire, reported just before 4 p.m., involved a dump truck and Conex trailer, with flames affecting a nearby commercial structure.

Coach Mike provides a comprehensive overview of the myriad challenges faced in managing the shop, particularly highlighting the critical need for robust on-site leadership and stringent accountability measures.Throughout the episode, Coach Mike elaborates on the key strategies that were instrumental in turning the shop around. One of the primary steps taken was the recruitment of highly skilled technicians, which was essential for delivering quality service and boosting customer satisfaction.
