Furman Grad, Sociology major but it was little tougher than Auburn football players had Had three dates with beautiful women the summer of 1978. Did not marry any of em. Never married anybody cause what was available was undesirable and what was desirable was unaffordable. Unlucky in love as they say and even still it is sometimes heartbreaking. Had a Pakistani Jr. Davis Cupper on the Ropes the summer of 84, City Courts, Rome Georgia I've a baby sitter, watched peoples homes while they were away on Vacation. Freelance writer, local consultant, screenwriter, and the best damn substitute teacher of Floyd County Georgia in mid 80's according to an anonymous kid passed me on main street a few years later when I went back to get a sandwich at Schroeders.

National Media Whitewashes Cliff Simms

   Cliff sims of Yellowhammer News and Crawford Broadcasting in Alabama got a 7 figure advance for his Vipers Tell all about his Days in the Trump Administration.

     Trump called the 32 year old a "Gopher".

     Sims two years ago was host of a mid day talk show on Crawford Broadcasting WYDE in Bham. Every indication of this God, Guns and America outfit was they were leftovers of the John Birch Society and White Citizens Councils who had embraced guns to right every wrong in America along with FBC Gardendale, Church of the Highlands and the 17 campuses and other aspects of Trump's base.

   Joe Scarborough missed it as well as the New Yorker in this interview

   Sims with Andrea Tice whose husband is on staff at Church of the Highlands routinely castigated Hillary Clinton. It was like the Inquisition friends of Albert Lee Smith and his wife's Eagle Forum gave Samford President Corts in 93.

    Sims is the son of a near jack leg Baptist preacher whose Yellowhammer News, sources say got its start in Mike Hubbard's office when he was Bama House speaker.

    Lot more story on Sims and his Bama network of fundamentalists. I hope some crackerjack journalists in Bama or the region looks a little closer. Sims may deserve the Marshall Frady treatment, cause left to his own devices with the light shown on him so far, we got an aspirational Atwater/young Wallace on our hands.
