Will Dismukes Throws Father under the Bus - Part III

 



Will Dismukes and ALFA - two entities without either morals or a conscience - had parted ways. The struggling Alabama representative was now working for a private flooring company and presumably not making the fortune he thought he was worth. Then he came up with a plan.

Dismukes ensured his father got jobs with the flooring concern and that checks for an over-billed number of hours were made out to "William Dismukes," a name he and the elder Dismukes shared. Will then cashed the checks, paid his father the correct amount, and pocketed the rest.

It didn't take long for the flooring company to get wise to Will's ruse. When confronted, he did what any scalawag would do - he blamed his father for the theft. Don't you just love these ALFA people?

When indicted and arrested, Will chose to plead not guilty. There was a much postponed trial at which the elder Dismukes was forced to testify. After Bill Dismukes' testimony and a subsequent guilty verdict, both Will and his latest wife Carol visited the older man and harangued and cursed him for not lying to save his son. Bill Dismukes wrote a letter to his daughters and killed himself the next day.

On Monday, July 17th, William Dismukes III will be sentenced. His three sisters are hoping for the maximum of 20 years.

Will Dismukes: A Son of Confederate Veterans - Part II

 



Now that William Dismukes III was running for a seat in the U.S. Congress, he needed money more than ever. Contributions weren't exactly pouring in, but Will was still betting on his MAGA charisma to see him through. Then the erstwhile golden boy was branded a racist.

Dismukes was publicly connected to a local chapter of Sons of Confederate Veterans. Many have been quick to brand the group as racist and subversive, yet its rolls have included the likes of Harry Truman, Pat Buchanan, and Clint Eastwood. We do wonder why the Sons of Union Veterans is never mentioned. Both groups have often worked in tandem to promote war memorials and knowledge of the conflict that split the nation.

That being said, the naming of a Montgomery chapter after Nathan Bedford Forrest was neither the best political nor moral move. Also problematic was Dismukes serving as chaplain for a meeting held at the same time as a memorial service for civil rights icon John Lewis. In short, Will's followers began to desert his campaign, and he was forced to end his quest for Congress due to a lack of funds.

Will had by this time also left ALFA. While a smart move, we doubt that Dismukes was concerned by ALFA's own moral deficiencies. His wife? She at first remained with ALFA, but ditched her falling star of a lawfully wedded husband. 

Dismukes' own behavior became more and more erratic. The sometime Baptist preacher had left his small church, but picked up more baggage during his dramatic fall from political grace. 

Will quickly married a woman named Carol Rhye and fathered still another child:

Will Dismukes' Family Asks for No Leniency - Part I

 



How to lose your wife, children, father, sisters, job, church family, reputation, and finally your freedom:

William Dismukes III, known as Will, was raised in Prattville near Montgomery and attended the private Autauga Academy where he excelled in baseball. One of four children, Will was the only boy and, we may infer, probably spoiled by his family.

Raised in the Baptist Church, Will attended the Church of Christ sponsored Faulkner University after high school. He continued his baseball career at Faulkner where he later related he gained an interest in politics.

It was looking like the future held a lucrative career in professional baseball for Will until he was suddenly felled by a stroke at the age of 22. While Will managed to bounce back, his novice career didn't. He was now in need of a job more than ever. While still in college, Will had applied for and received several credit cards...and used them while anticipating a large income after his graduation.

Will's mother Venita saved the day by taking out a mortgage on the family home. Will seemed to buckle down and secured employment with ALFA, as well as bringing in a second income by working in flooring sales. His personal life was also looking up; he soon married his first wife Amber Adkins and became the father of a son and daughter.


Will was also a youth minister at a rural Baptist church near Montgomery, and Amber worked at the highly controversial ALFA. There was definitely a lot of money coming in, but seemingly a lot was going out as well.

In 2018, Will was elected to the Alabama State Legislature at the very young age of 28. This was just a stepping stone, and Will had his eyes on Washington, DC. After only two years in the State House, Will ran for the U.S. Congress in 2020.

Many political careers have been compared to a house of cards, and Will's was a perfect example as it began to fall around him...

Will Dismukes: A Face of ALFA

 



Pictured is Will Dismukes, a Republican state legislator from Prattville outside Montgomery. Last August, Dismukes was arrested for First Degree Theft from a former employer. Now, over ten months later, Dismukes has finally been indicted for his alleged crime. 

Early in his career, the now 31 year-old Dismukes worked for ALFA, as his wife still does. Later, Dismukes worked for a flooring concern before opening his own company. His former employer brought the charges of theft against the legislator.

ALFA is also a large contributor to Dismukes, who astonishingly votes in that company's interest whenever possible (read: against animal welfare). We may assume ALFA Insurance would not benefit by losing Dismukes as an ally in the legislature.

We'll be watching this case closely. If Dismukes is convicted, he will automatically be removed from office. If that should be the case, we'll also be looking at those ALFA backs in the election to fill the vacated seat.

Calls for ALFA Advocate Will Dismukes' Resignation




Wherever Will Dismukes goes, controversy follows. The erstwhile ALFA employee is again in the news after announcing his attendance at a birthday party honoring the founder of the Ku Klux Klan. 

Dismukes serves the Prattville/Montgomery area in the state legislature and has been chastised by Democratic lawmakers in the past for his activities. Dismukes, whose wife continues to work for ALFA has also been widely criticized for supporting an entity totally opposed to animal welfare in this state.

No matter what anyone may think of Dismukes' membership in the Sons of Confederate Veterans, attending an event honoring Nathan Bedford Forrest on the day civil rights activist John Lewis was being mourned in the same city is totally tasteless and smacks of overt racism. ALFA and the Klan - two hate-filled organizations that Alabama is better off leaving behind.

Will Dismukes Calls Alabamians Oppressed




Some recent pithy comments:

God intended us to be faithful in marriage. Donald Trump

We all need to tighten our financial belts. Jeff Bezos

The State of Alabama is oppressing us. Will Dismukes


We hope everyone remembers Will Dismukes, the Alabama representative who until recently worked for ALFA...whose wife still works for ALFA...who always supports ALFA supported bills and opposes those bills ALFA opposes. Now he's openly demonstrating in Montgomery and claiming that Alabamians are oppressed.

He wants businesses (read: farming businesses) to re-open immediately. He also got in a few words about government overreach. Overreach? We think he means those pesky little laws that say families and animals should be provided and cared for. 

Dismukes, gasp, has political ambitions. Let's hope they fail to come to fruition.

Will Dismukes? Be Very Afraid...


By now, most of you know that U.S. Congresswoman Martha Roby is retiring. So far, two have announced they will stand for the office she's vacating. One is Will Dismukes, currently an Alabama state representative from Prattville. Take a look at Dismuke's photo. Charming or what?


Yet Will Dismukes is anything but charming. He's bought and paid for by ALFA. Dismukes went to work for the Cthulhu of our state immediately after graduation from Faulkner State University. In case any are wondering, Dismukes proudly proclaims himself a Baptist in campaign literature, but attended Faulker to further his aspirations to play baseball. First things first.

After working for ALFA for a few years, he left to run for office. Guess what? His wife still works for the brutal insurance giant. Where do you think Dismukes' alliances lie? 

The salient question may be how can Will Dismukes help both himself and ALFA in Washington? Let's hope we never have to find out.


Please Protect Us from ALFA. Amen!
