Republican Rep. Wesley Hunt of Texas is looking to hold lawmakers to a higher standard, Blaze News learned.

Hunt introduced a bill Monday that would create a new constitutional amendment requiring members of Congress to pass a basic civics test before taking their oath of office, according to bill text obtained exclusively by Blaze News. Hunt, who is running for Senate, noted his Congressional Civics Act would simply insist elected officials pass the same civics test foreigners are required to take in order to become naturalized citizens.

‘When history is forgotten, it is destined to repeat itself.’

“As leaders, we swear an oath to defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic — an oath I take seriously,” Hunt told Blaze News.

“We must ensure that those entrusted with the highest level of American leadership fully understand that oath.”

Although naturalized citizens have a near perfect pass rate, just one in three Americans are able to pass the same test, according to a national survey conducted by the Institute for Citizens & Scholars. Notably, applicants need to get only 12 out of the 20 multiple choice questions correct, totaling just 60%.

“This bill would require American representation to demonstrate their knowledge of the Constitution and American history,” Hunt told Blaze News.

“That understanding is essential to protecting the foundation of American values,” Hunt added. “When history is forgotten, it is destined to repeat itself.”

If the amendment is ratified, the exam would consist of 25 questions drawn from a pool of 100 questions that cover constitutional literacy and American history. The passing standards would be set by Congress for each 10-year census term.

Until the amendment is ratified, the legislation requires that members pass the civics exam before being assigned to a committee, starting in the 120th Congress. The bill would also provide for the public release of test results for all members who manage to successfully complete the exam.

According to BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock, if you missed Super Bowl 60 this weekend, you didn’t miss much.

Whitlock believes that the “Super Bowl has fallen,” and it’s not just because the game between the Patriots and the Seahawks featured a slow loss.

“The entire Super Bowl halftime, the agendas related to the National Football League — the entire thing has fallen on its face,” he says, pointing out that perhaps the worst part was the halftime performance put on by Bad Bunny, which was entirely in Spanish.

“Bad Bunny will forever be remembered as the worst Super Bowl ever. … Nothing happened in this Super Bowl, other than Bad Bunny’s ridiculous Super Bowl halftime deal. And it will be forever remembered as the worst Super Bowl halftime and the worst Super Bowl ever,” Whitlock says.

However, he says, leftists appear to believe that what they witnessed was an incredible and brave performance.

“I get it. The leftists are all over social media right now, ‘Oh, it was amazing, the vibe, oh, the vibe was incredible,’” Whitlock mocks, pointing out that none of them could understand a “word that Bad Bunny said,” calling the artist a “Spanish-speaking mumble rapper.”

The show also featured Hispanic men and women drinking and “gyrating.”

“This was an embarrassment. … They’re just gyrating all over each other while Bad Bunny mumble raps in the background. And you have white liberals, and liberals everywhere, because they hate Donald Trump, and because they want to troll Donald Trump, this is seen as a positive,” Whitlock says.

“Here’s what the leftists want you to believe: that there is some sort of love that can be born from hate,” he continues. “They want you to believe that love can be founded on hate.”

A St. Louis mother is facing multiple felony charges after police say she fired a gun inside a Kirkwood, Missouri, sushi restaurant amid an argument with staff last week, KTVI-TV reported.

Kirkwood police told the station the shooting took place just before 8:30 p.m. Wednesday.

‘You’re going to get it.’

Police said Aaliyah N. Moorehead, 31, told officers she believed restaurant staff were rude to her and her family when they arrived, KTVI reported, adding that Moorehead was with her 9-year-old child.

Moorehead also said she used a translation feature on her AirPods to determine that the cooks made racial and derogatory comments in Spanish about her and her family, the station said.

Police said Moorehead also got upset over what she described as an issue with her order, KTVI said. A server offered to correct the order, but Moorehead began swearing at the server and was asked to leave, the station noted.

Moorehead then threw a bowl of soup at the server, hitting him and others nearby, authorities told KTVI.

The server moved a chair between himself and Moorehead, the station said, adding that she grabbed the chair and threw it.

Moorehead then took out a 9mm Glock handgun, threatened the server, and fired a shot in his direction, police told KTVI, adding that Moorehead’s 9-year-old was walking between Moorehead and the server at the time.

Police told KMOV-TV that Moorehead said, “You’re going to get it,” before firing the shot.

The bullet missed the server, went through a refrigerator, and struck a wall, KTVI said, adding that no one was injured.

Police said the restaurant manager told officers the suspect drove away in a white SUV, and officers located the vehicle soon after and detained those in the car, KTVI said.

After reviewing the restaurant’s security video, police identified the SUV’s occupants as Moorehead, her 9-year-old child, and another adult woman, KTVI said.

Police told KMOV the entire incident was captured on surveillance video and that Moorehead admitted to firing the gun.

The St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office charged Moorehead with first-degree assault, armed criminal action, unlawful use of a weapon, endangering the welfare of a child, and first-degree property damage, KTVI said.

Moorehead was still behind bars Tuesday morning at the St. Louis County Justice Center; jail records do not show a court date.

KTVI said Moorehead is being held on a $150,000 cash-only bond.
