Rep. Abe Hamadeh

Representative Abe Hamadeh (R-AZ-08) recently introduced The VOTE Act — Voting Only Through English — in Congress, which would halt funding to states for federal elections that print ballots in additional languages besides English. Voters who don’t understand English can call official election hotlines for language assistance, so the multilingual ballots are not necessary.

Hamadeh said during an appearance on Just the News from Real America’s Voice, “It makes sense, why? Because in order to become a citizen, if you’re an immigrant, you want to become a citizen. We welcome that. But one of the basic requirements for becoming a United States citizen that’s been long standing was that you have to have proficiency and basic understanding of English.”

The final report on the Covenant School killings committed by Audrey Elizabeth Hale, who identified as a transgender man when she killed three children and three staff members at the Christian school she once attended on March 27, 2023, feared that her mother and mental health professionals would have her involuntarily committed due to concerns over her mental health, derailing her plans to commit the attack.

Metro Nashville Police Department (MNPD) released its report on the Covenant investigation on Wednesday, revealing that Hale grew increasingly concerned that her mother and therapist would have her involuntarily committed in the months prior her attack. Hale apparently became concerned about the prospect of commitment after she was evaluated at Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC), despite the killer ultimately avoiding inpatient commitment on three separate occasions.

According to the report, Ronald and Norma Hale became aware their daughter legally purchased her first firearm in December 2020, and her father was aware of she subsequently purchased a shotgun the following year.

On Wednesday, Trump unveiled his “Liberation Day” agenda, which includes the U.S. charging 10 percent baseline tariffs on nearly all goods imported from other countries, reciprocal tariffs on nearly 90 countries that have the highest trade deficits with the U.S., and a 25 percent tax on all imported vehicles.
