“I’ve got my own passport. It’s called the ‘Bill of Rights,’” Dusty Graham said a video. “This will be all behind us in a couple of years.”

More karma

The New York Times is reporting that the Alabama Congressman met last week with about a half-dozen senators, including Mike Lee of Utah, and separately with the conservative House Freedom Caucus.

This is nothing less than sedition.

This is an attempt to overthrow the electoral processes of the United States of America.

This is criminal. No ifs, ands, or buts.

In the past, members of the House and Senate were expelled for the very same thing during the Civil War, when they seceded from the Union.

They should be expelled and disbarred.

If they aren’t, sedition will become the new norm.

Our country will be ripped apart if there aren’t consequences.

AL.com reporter William Thornton was part of the Netflix film, which shot last year in parts of Alabama.

A day in the life of an extra on TDATT.

The pace quickly picks up. We repeat the scene. Somebody flubs a line. We do it again. Tom is working with someone in between shots on his dialogue, his accent when not on camera hovering between Brit and pseudo-Blount County. I get the impression of someone who is trying hard to remember a dozen different things, technical and emotional, all while being the center of attention. Yet he wears it all well, hopping between grim in front of the camera and joshing off of it.

In-between shots, he spots a guy toting an armful of Little Caesar’s Pizza boxes. “Is that the third meal of the day?” he asks loudly, before grabbing a slice of pepperoni and scarfing it down. Just before the call of “action,” he turns to ask anyone nearby, “Have I got pizza on my face?”

So now it’s time to film the truck pulling up, as the sun was going down. “Good day, lads!” Tom shouts to us, getting onto the truck, and sits right next to me as we head down the road to turn around. I’m reminded that this man was the star of a movie my daughter went to see six times.

“Long day?” we ask.

“No, just about eight hours,” he said. “When we did ‘Spiderman,’ it was 15 or 16 hours."

Then we have to turn this huge flatbed truck around on a broken-down, two-lane Alabama road. And Spiderman, as though his Spidey sense wouldn’t go off, stands up in the truck bed. I instantly had a vision of telling the story of “How I was there when Tom Holland died filming his last movie.” He’s telling the driver that he can keep backing up, but there’s no way the driver can hear him over the sound of the engine. If we go over the side of the hill, he’s going to be catapulted up against Southern Pine.

But thankfully, nothing to worry about. The truck makes it to the mark, we jump off, and the scene is in the can.

The attorney for A. C. Smith, the former Montgomery police officer found guilty of killing Gregory Gunn, argues our state pens aren't safe enough for his client. He's likely right. That doesn't mean, though, he should not serve his time alongside a few of our state's 31,000+ incarcerated men and women.

Yoga – ancient exercise and relaxation techniques that trace their roots to India – remains prohibited in Alabama schools. One Hindu religious statesman wants to know why.

“Yoga, along with hypnosis, meditation and guided imagery exercises, has been prohibited in the state’s public schools since 1993. Recent Legislative efforts to do away with the ban failed and the State Board of Education opted not to take it up despite yoga being listed on a February work session agenda.”

“Yoga’s ties to Eastern religion led to the ban.”

Yoga is clearly witchcraft and we must ban/burn the snowflakes.
