When Alabama works, Alabama families thrive and records are broken time and time again,” said Governor Ivey. “We have a quick growing economy, and we are leading the game when it comes to economic success. Boasting the lowest unemployment rate in the Southeast, Alabama is well on its way to having the lowest unemployment rate in the nation.” The number of people in the workforce reached a new record, increasing 3,367 over the month to 2,293,022.

More money in the pockets of Alabamians is always a good thing.” Over the year, wage and salary employment

“Mr. Lindsey had a vision to increase educational opportunities in our service area,” Murphy said. “He worked hard to rally people for funding and support. As a result, collaborative partnerships were formed with local townships, the Cherokee County Commission, state and local leadership and ACCS. It was certainly a grassroots initiative that continues to promote education, economic growth and community development.” Lindsey is widely known for serving nine consecutive terms in the Alabama House of Representatives. Elected for the first time in 1983, he served 10 years as the chairman of the Education Finance and Appropriations Committee. He served three terms as chairman of the House Agriculture Committee as well as several regional and national legislative committees. During his legislative services, Lindsey was honored with numerous awards, including Legislator of the Year from the Alabama Rural
Cooperatives, State Representative of the Year from the Alabama Association of Conservation Districts and Lifetime Legislative Leadership Award from the Council for Leaders in Alabama Schools. Lindsey is a co-owner of Cherokee Gin and Cotton Co., one of the largest gins in the south, and is a partner in a large farming operation called Coosa River Land Co. He is a member of the National Cotton Council, vice president of the National Cotton Ginners Association and president of the Southeastern Cotton Ginners Association. He is a long-time member of the Cherokee County Chamber of Commerce and has served on multiple boards, including the Cherokee County Assisted Living Federation of America, Coosa-Alabama River Improvement Association, First Southern State Bank, Cherokee County ALFA Organization and Howells Cemetery Association.

approved the renaming of the largest sports venue in Cherokee County. During the May 11 board meeting, the decision was made to change the name of the Cherokee Arena to the Richard Lindsey Arena. The facility is located on the campus of Gadsden State Community College in Centre. “We are delighted that we are able to honor and celebrate a man who has been so supportive of Gadsden State throughout the years,” said Dr. Kathy Murphy, president. “It is fitting that the arena is named for Mr. Lindsey considering he was very instrumental in securing the construction of the facility.” The $22 million multi level complex was constructed in 2008 and includes a 300-seat conference room, smaller meeting rooms, classrooms, learning laboratories and office space in addition to the 2,500-seat arena.

Authorities have arrested a man they believe is connected to three arson cases. According to Etowah County Sheriff Jonathon Horton, Robert Lee Adams, age 39, of Altoona, has been arrested and charged with three counts of arson 2nd. Investigator Wesley Smith added the arrest of Adams is in connection with arsons in the Egypt Community, in January and February of 2023. There were three separate arson incidents involving different structures over the two months. In all cases the Etowah County Arson Task Force and State
driver licenses have been delivered to customers two to three days faster than with the previous system. Additionally, a new streamlined process for submitting accident claims has improved processing times from approximately two to three weeks to two to three business days. “Employees within multiple divisions of ALEA worked diligently alongside FAST Enterprises to develop and implement this new system. I am pleased to recognize and showcase the hard work and dedication of all the employees who played an integral role in LEADS by highlighting the success of such a monumental and historic project,” ALEA Secretary Hal Taylor said. “Our Agency is proud to serve the upended everything the January 6 Select Committee said was true. Chuck Schumer, so angry that America might get to see what they had suppressed for over two years, went off on Rupert Murdoch personally, “Rupert Murdoch could have stepped in but chose not to …I am demanding that he do what he should have done a long time ago ‘Order’ Tucker Carlson, and other hosts on Fox News, to stop spreading the Big faction and is likely to annihilate Joe Biden in 2024. If Murdoch is not careful Fox News could be instrumental in Trump’s reelection. The Left needs Murdoch to slow Trump down.. Baring natural or unnatural death, Trump will be reelected president in 2024. Murdoch finds himself in the position of making or breaking Donald Trump as Fox News is Trumps largest base. But to do so he must do damage to his own investment. Enter Tucker Carlson of Fox News, the most trusted media voice in the nation because of his honesty and boldness in exposing corruption wherever it exists. Carlson was slow to endorse Trump, refused to even look at Sidney Powell’s evidence of China’s Dominion machine influence in the 2020 Presidential election, and disliked Trump as a person. Still, people believed him as he became America’s “most watched host averaging 3.32 million total viewers… also the most viewers in the sought-after 25-54 demographic,” all since “Tucker Carlson Tonight” first aired in November 2016 (“Tucker Carlson leaves Fox News – reportedly fired by Rupert Murdoch,” Sam Levine, The Guardian, 24 April 2023). Enter the 14,000 hours of video documentation of January 6 given Carlson by House Speaker Kevin McCarthy which totally
The state also reported that thousands of customers have taken advantage of the enhanced online services, increasing efficiency and customer satisfaction. Data collected by the Agency showed that 78% of customers now submit hardship applications online, allowing processing times to decrease from five days to one or two days. Additionally, over 6,000 Commercial Driver License (CDL) Medical Self Certifications are processed each month online, which has resulted in an 87 percent increase in approval time. Over 22,000 license renewals or duplicates are processed online per month, and over 2,000 motor vehicle reports are processed online each month. PUBLISHERS NOTE: Dr. Harold Pease is a syndicated columnist and an expert on the United States Constitution. He has dedicated his career to studying the writings of the Founding Fathers and applying that knowledge to current events. He taught history and political science from this perspective for over 30 years at Taft College. To read more of his weekly articles, please visit www.LibertyUnderFire.org To settle, rather than fight, Fox News had to pay a defamation lawsuit of $787 million to Dominion. Fox chose to pay the settlement (Ep. 3050b, April 20, 2023, 18:14). But the probable real reason Fox settled was because to fight and win Murdoch would have to join conservatives and prove that it WAS Dominion technology that seated Biden and that Trump actually won the election. Creating a network to profit from conservatives, with whom he disagreed was one thing for Murdoch - even forgivable to his socialist friends - but to be the network responsible for returning to power the man and philosophy that would destroy the Deep State, of which he is a part, is totally unforgivable. The financial loss is collateral damage. Murdoch accomplished four things by not fighting. 1) Backing out suggests that Dominion influence on the 2020 Presidential election has been debunked. 2) This entitles news organizations not to cover the Dominion issue further. 3) It intimidates less powerful news outlets to publish any further, or new evidence, on the subject, as they too might be sued. And 4) It leaves Dominion in place to do what it did in 2020 again in 2024–18 months from now.
told students that one day Fox News, then the go to network for conservatism, would betray conservatives and become like its news competitors. This was based upon the knowledge that its founder Rupert Murdoch was liberal and only created Fox News because he saw the lack of a conservative news outlet and the money that would come with it. His two sons, even more liberal, would eventually move it left. From its beginning Fox News never exposed the then existing Deep State organizations the Council on Foreign Relations, the Trilateral Commission or the Bilderberg Group. They spurned the very idea that an invisible government existed as did all the managed deep state presses. The free market, limited government, fiscal responsibility and pro- choice narratives were welcomed, and yes, the Constitution as written, but little more. Their newscasters, notably, Sean Hannity, defended the Republican Party no matter what and Fox News became the voice of the Republican Party. But signs of Murdoch philosophic support for the Left surfaced in 2020 when Fox News even beat liberal networks in calling Arizona for Joe Biden and the election for him as well. Conservatives were stunned by these early actions despite overwhelming election fraud evidence. This was followed by the firing of one of the networks most popular leading conservative commentators, Lou Dobbs, who openly contested the election. But Murdoch’s viewing base has become overwhelmingly pro- Donald J. Trump and growing exponentially against the parties RINO Alabama Law Enforcement Agency’s (ALEA) Driver License Division launched a new and modernized driver license system and over 1.3 million driver license credentials have been processed since the modernized system went live. Since the launch of the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency Driver License System (LEADS), operations for both citizens and driver license personnel have greatly improved across the state. The new system replaced a complex legacy system that had been in place for nearly two decades. With the new system, the Agency has experienced reduced wait times in local offices and hard copies of

On the horizon there are many more Deep State secrets he might also reveal. He was already too close to one of these, the Dominion machines and their presumed influence in the 2020 Presidential Election. At the time Dominion was suing Fox News for $1.6 billion because Fox had said that Dominion was manipulating the election via their election system. MAGA insurrection, as the Unselect House committee had said, but instead a fedsurrection complete with over 40 confidential human sources used to frame instead the MAGA people. This, complete with video of government agents, Antifa and others doing the damage while Capitol police ushered the MAGA people into the building. Tucker Carlson, showing some of these videos destroyed the Lefts narrative in less than a week. According to renowned physician Dr Robert F. Kennedy Jr., five days before Carlson was fired by Fox, he took on another arch deception issue, the vaccine. Carlson acknowledged “that the TV networks pushed a deadly and ineffective vaccine to please their Pharma advertisers. Carlson’s breath-taking courageous April 19, monologue broke TV’s two biggest rules; Tucker told the truth about how greedy Pharma advertisers controlled TV news content and lambasted obsequious newscasters for promoting jabs they knew to be lethal and worthless.” Fox just demonstrated the terrifying power of Big Pharma.

North Alabama Campgrounds
The Alabama Mountain Lakes Tourist Association (AMLA) has released a new brochure highlighting the many campgrounds and RV parks located in North Alabama. The new North Alabama Campgrounds brochure spotlights 39 different campground and RV locations, each one offering different amenities, sights and destinations to experience, in the 16 northernmost counties in the state of Alabama. The 14-page handy guide lists some of the best places to camp in the northern region of Alabama. Each listing contains a detailed description with information that makes that campground unique. In addition to the description, listings contain an address, phone number, website and amenities provided so travelers can easily start planning their next adventure. “North Alabama offers a wide range of camping options with plenty of outdoor adventures, world- class museums, restaurants and shopping within a short drive,” said AMLA President and CEO Tami Reist. “Whether you prefer campsites on the water or in the woods, or if comfort is more your style instead of roughing it, we have a campground for you in North Alabama. The new North Alabama Campgrounds
brochure joins our other comprehensive brochures that makes planning a trip easy.” During the COVID-19 pandemic, campgrounds and RV parks saw an increase in use since people were able to practice social distancing while enjoying family time away from home. According to outdoormiles. com, in 2019, only 4% of camping households were new campers, and in 2020, that number surged to 21%. Camping trips made have increased from 68.5 million in 2014 to 105.6 million in 2021, and there were 4.4 million more households who owned an RV in 2021 than there were in 2019. “Campgrounds and RV parks continue to remain popular with leisure travelers. Some of this can be attributed to the fact that many employees are continuing to work remotely, especially with Gen Z and millennials who are choosing to work from an RV. We hope the new North Alabama Campgrounds brochure will serve as a handy guide to what all is offered in the region,” added Reist. A copy of the brochure is available for download at www.northalabama.org, one may be picked up at the AMLA office located at 402 Sherman Street SE in Decatur or a brochure may be requested by calling 800.648.5381.
