Huntsville, AL-The dog whistle is an ultrasonic whistle that when blown is audible to dogs and not humans.The Republicans have become experts in the science of politics and blowing that whistle. In politics, the dog whistle is coded language used to get support. A good example is when Republicans started using the term “Obama Care” when speaking about Healthcare. Just hearing the name “Obama” would cause the people who followed them to pitch a fit. When asked about “Obama Care” it was the worst thing for the country, but they supported “The Affordable Care Act”. They didn’t do their research. A lot of them, to this day, still don’t know they were the same thing. They heard the dog whistle.
As we watch all the ads from Alabama Republican candidates for Governor, Senate, and House seats we see and hear a lot of lies. After some research it was discovered that politicians can tell any lie they want to in their ads. It’s up to each individual to separate the truth or hear the dog whistle.Lindy Blanchard says that she’s tired of seeing illegals in Alabama taking taxpayer money and how she’s going to get them a one way ticket back to Mexico if she becomes Governor. She’s even volunteering to drive them to the airport. The question is who’s going to pay for the tickets, Alabama or Mexico? Dog Whistle!

The Russian Hack
When you see seasoned Politicians like Mitch McConnell and Lindsey Graham, who at one time respected the law of the land, even if it meant crossing the aisles, change so dramatically after Trump was elected, the question that comes to mind is “why?” Granted when President Obama was elected, their true colors were shown when they controlled both the Senate and House. They flat out said they would say “NO” to everything that was put before them. A Zebra can’t change its stripes.
Remember during the Trump Campaign for President when the Russians hacked into the DNC (Democratic National Committee)? They also hacked the RNC (Republican National Committee). They released information they stole from the DNC but noirt on the Republicans has ever been released. What do the Russians have that they may have shared with Trump for him to use to continue his hold over the GOP? Once again Trump is publically reaching out to a known enemy of this country (Putin) for information on President Joe Biden. The silence from the GOP is all too telling. Makes you want to say “Humm?” This is no Dog Whistle.
