Prefiled bill to require English-only driver’s license exams

MONTGOMERY, Ala. - One Alabama lawmaker is hoping his prefiled bill to require all driver’s tests be given in English gets picked up by lawmakers.

“What this does is say, if you’re going to drive in Alabama, you’re going to drive our driver’s license, you’re going to speak and understand English,” said Rep. Phillip Pettus (R-Killen).

Pettus is also a retired state trooper. He said all portions of the driver’s test, from the written examination to behind-the-wheel tests, should only be given in English.

House Bill 88 would require that “all written, oral, vision, and driving portions of the examination administered for the purpose of obtaining or renewing a driver’s license must be in the English language only. An applicant may not use a translation dictionary, an electronic device, or an interpreter to assist with the administration of the examination.” Click here to read more.

ST. CLAIR COUNTY, Mich. (FOX 2) - An investigation is ongoing after a confrontation with people recording through the window of his Marine City business ended with the owner being pepper-sprayed.

A group of “First Amendment Auditors” - people who record in public spaces - were on the sidewalk filming through the window of Zimmerman’s Meat Market on Tuesday. Video of the encounter was posted on YouTube.

While recording, a woman inside the business opened the door and asked the three with cameras if she could help them. When they told her they were recording for YouTube and did not need help, she locked the door and shut the lights off. Shortly after that, a man approached the window and attempted to block the cameras while saying that they needed police as the woman was on a phone call. Click here to watch video.

Is Michigan the Next Minnesota? Nesbitt Calls for Investigation into Whitmer’s MiLEAP.

LANSING, Mich. – Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s handpicked bureaucratic offshoot of the state’s Department of Education should get a closer look, according to a Republican lawmaker looking to take her job in November.

Michigan Senate Republican Leader and gubernatorial candidate Aric Nesbitt is calling for an independent investigation into the Michigan Department of Lifelong Education, Advancement, and Potential (MiLEAP) and its Child Development and Care (CDC) Program.

The Porter Township lawmaker cited growing fraud allegations tied to similar child care assistance programs nationwide.

Nesbitt sent a letter to Michigan Auditor General Doug Ringler and requested a formal audit of the program administered by Whitmer’s MiLEAP. The CDC Program provides child care subsidies to low-income families and is receiving more than $540 million in taxpayer funding this year. Click here to read more.

 

Illinois spends $1M to rethink capitalism

Illinois state lawmakers are putting over $1 million behind projects to “rethink capitalism” and so they could pay people for not working – all using money other people worked for.

There are plenty of examples of paying people money for nothing having failed and hurting their families. But the state’s 2026 budget includes a $200,000 grant for the Reimagining Capitalism in Illinois Lab for “operational expenses” and an $827,000 grant for a guaranteed income pilot program.

Illinois faces low economic growth, high debt and ballooning pensions – all because state lawmakers are taking ever-more from taxpayers and driving out jobs and working families. Lawmakers claimed the 2026 budget contained no pork, but a closer look shows 2,815 items over $200,000 lawmakers decided to fund in the final hours of the legislative session – rushed, harmful to taxpayers and with no time for public scrutiny.

Top Attorney For Special Counsel Jack Smith Previously Spiked Clinton Foundation Investigation

Ray Hulser, the then-head of the Department of Justice’s Public Integrity Section (PIN), withheld information from the U.S. Attorney’s office investigating the Clinton Foundation under Trump 1.0. Hulser would later downplay and/or provide inconsistent details concerning the Clinton Foundation probe to both Trump 1.0’s DOJ and Special Counsel John Durham’s office. In spite of — or maybe because of — that history, Special Counsel Jack Smith selected Hulser to help lead the criminal witch-hunt against Trump, with Hulser personally recommending Smith subpoena the toll records of nearly a dozen Congressional Republicans.
