The Election is Over...Thank God!

We're just like you tonight...waiting.

Aside from a presidential upset, the big (for lack of a better word) story is the possible misconduct of a Leighton poll worker who gave out sample ballots pre-marked for Democratic candidates. Our friend Daniel Rosser has handled the situation very well.

We do worry if this is an isolated instance across the state or not. Somehow we think it's not.

Congratulations in Lauderdale County to Rodney Pettus and Jon Hatton. While we believe those voting a straight Republican ticket obviously boosted their vote count, in Hatton's case we believe Jennifer Gray was the victim of a backlash against her unpopular stances, lavish spending, and a certain list on which her name appeared.

Election, Veterans Day, & New Council

By: The Midnight Rider

Election

We only have a few days left before we vote for a new President. Please gather your facts and vote. If you don’t vote you cannot complain about the candidate. That one vote might be the deciding factor. Who is the best candidate? I don’t know. During this Presidential Election run, especially during the Debates, I am not sure that Scooby Doo would not have been a better candidate to vote for. For better or worse, I believe I am going to vote for Trump. My Grandfather would be turning over in his grave if he knew I was not voting Democrat. Let’s hope that the Candidate that is elected can turn this Country around.

Veterans Day

As you may know, Veterans Day is Friday, November 11th, 2016. Make sure that you thank a Veteran for their Service on this day. Actually, you should be thanking a Veteran every day for the Service. They are the ones that have made this Country safe for you. Some have even given the Ultimate Sacrifice.

Tuscumbia City Council

The new members of the Tuscumbia City Council will be taking over. Basically, you will be getting a brand new Council. It will be interesting to see if these new members can improve Tuscumbia as promised during the Elections. I think they will. Let's hope so.

I am and always will be, the Midnight Rider.

One of our regular readers has been a victim of Xavier Lamont Armstead. Unfortunately, it seems that Armstead's crimes have not all yet been added to the list for restitution:
