The Alabama Republican Party will honor former President Trump for being "one of the greatest and most effective presidents in the 245-year history of this Republic," Fox News reported.
At a Saturday evening reception held at Mar-a-Lago, the party will present Trump with a framed resolution that grants him the honor.
"The resolution, basically, it just talks about the greatness of Donald J. Trump, how he made America great again and I hope other states will follow suit," Perry Hooper Jr., a former state representative and a member of the state party's executive committee, told Fox News.
Members of the state's GOP unanimously voted on the resolution, which claims that "President Trump put the American people and the American worker first in all of his decisions."

That statistic speaks volumes.

After all, Trump 'tells it like it is'.

Thank God republicans won that war back in the 1860s.
This is the official position of today's republicans.
From the 2004 GOP Platform
"One hundred and fifty years ago, Americans who had gathered to protest the expansion of slavery gave birth to a political Party that would save the Union - the Republican Party.
In 1860, Abraham Lincoln of Illinois carried the Republican banner in the Presidential election and was elected the Party's first President. He became our nation's greatest leader ⦠and one of our Party's greatest heroes. "

(43,328 posts)(CNN) Donald Trump assured American voters Thursday night that despite what Marco Rubio had suggested, there was "no problem" with the size of his hands -- or anything else.
"Look at those hands, are they small hands?" the front-runner for the GOP presidential nomination said, raising them for viewers to see. "And, he referred to my hands -- 'if they're small, something else must be small.' I guarantee you there's no problem. I guarantee."
Rubio in recent days revived a decades-old old insult, mocking Trump for having relatively slight hands.
"He's always calling me Little Marco. And I'll admit he's taller than me. He's like 6'2, which is why I don't understand why his hands are the size of someone who is 5'2," Rubio said in Virginia on Sunday. "And you know what they say about men with small hands? You can't trust them."

They have made teaching football as the most important goal of an academic institution
They have ordered a bronze bust of G. Leo Blastoma, inventor of the electric spoon, to be placed in the center of the rotunda of the state capitol building in Montgomery
This was all reported on Fox Noise, so it must be true.

(22,032 posts)It's a very large state, larger than Pennsylvania, for example. Their highways are excellent with clean, well-lit and spacious rest areas. The Gulf Coast is beautiful and the beaches are wonderful.
But the people of the state have the lowest level of education in the U.S. According to a 2019 report in US News & World Report, Alabama ranked No. 50 dead last in the publication's national education rankings.
That low level of education results in so many problems and it's the dominant reason Alabama's politics are so radicalized by the right-wing. Ignorant people are easily manipulated because of their lack of critical thinking skills.
Paired with Mississippi, which is also a large state that ranked 49th in that report, there are a lot of people lacking fundamental thinking skills needed in the 21st century.
