Another childless leader who doesn’t care what tiger leaves behind. She said it ring make send for federal law and state law to be at odds And it should be settled in the courts. Where does she think court cases come from? And has she ever heard of states as the laboratories of policy?

Childless and in the highest-risk group. Not a good combination for the rest of us.

Is she really the governor? I’ve heard from Alabama friends she is a puppet like Biden.

We should have an activist Governor like Florida does. Ivey is a pathetic Leftist.

Ivey is a jackass. I agree with what you attempted to say, despite auto-correct sabotage.

Gov.Kay, who are you beholden to?
Who’s pulling your strings?
You don’t sound like any Republican I know.

In July, Biden praised Ivey’s efforts to get residents to accept the vaccines.

“You notice a lot of our very conservative friends have finally had an altar call. They’ve seen the Lord,” Biden said at a summer campaign event for former Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe. “Thank God the governor of Alabama, at one of the lowest vaccination rates in the country, is now.”

Alabama does indeed have one of the country's lowest vaccination rates. That said, for the month September 2020, at which point no one in the state of Alabama had yet been vaccinated, the state incurred 568 deaths involving COVID. A year later (i.e., this past September 2021), at which point 52% of the state's residents age 12 and above had been vaccinated, there were 1,901 COVID deaths in the state for that month. This amounts to an increase of 235%, comparing the figures for September 2021 to those for September 2020.

By way of some comparison, the state of Colorado (with a vaccination rate of 72%), saw its number of COVID deaths increase 372% in September 2021, compared to September 2020. Connecticut (with a vaccination rate of 81%) saw its number of COVID deaths increase 281% in September 2021, compared to September 2020.

A sampling of other states, comparing September 2020 to September 2021:

Florida (with a 69% vaccination rate): a 302% increase.

Maine (with a 80% vaccination rate): a 900% increase.

New Jersey (with a 77% vaccination rate): a 287% increase.

New York, excluding New York City (with a 77% vaccination rate): a 597% increase.

Oregon (with a 73% vaccination rate): a 542% increase.

Texas (with a 64% vaccination rate): a 246% increase.

Washington (with a 74% vaccination rate): a 547% increase.

So, it would appear that, when it comes to reducing COVID deaths, vaccination rates aren't everything.

And, speaking personally, I would prefer that our demented President Brandon keep the Lord out of it. There's none of the Lord's work in any of this.

Old eyes, too early, auto correct, and neglected proofread! I’ll do better.

They don't need rights, only power and the will to exercise it. Conservatives have neither.

That man is evil.   He is the antithesis of God!

I've heard everyone calls her Meemaw.   My nephew got to cook breakfast for her a few months ago.

"Gov.Kay, who are you beholden to? Who’s pulling your strings? You don’t sound like any Republican I know."

Then again there is the Chamber of Commerce Cheap Labor wing of the Republican party. Mandates give them cover, and their political donations likely speak volumes.

She sounds exactly like a Bush League Republican.
There are many of them.
