Secretary Antony Blinken for the release of the "Afghanistan After-Action Review," which provides insight into the failed withdrawal that led to the deaths of 13 American service men & women and left 100s of Americans behind under Taliban rule. The American people and our Gold Star Families deserve accountability.

SCHLICHTER: Once Struck Down, Tucker May Become More Powerful Than You Can Possibly Imagine

Though Tucker may have been tossed off his perch at Fox (or jumped – we will eventually get the details on how this all went down), he will land on his feet and crush the libs beneath his preppy Topsiders. The answer to the question “What will Tucker do now” is the same answer as the answer to the question about what the 800-pound gorilla will do: “Anything he wants.”

PARKER: Biden Sleeps Tight – While Our Nation Drowns in Debt

Economist Steve Moore at the Committee to Unleash Prosperity estimates that a 1% drop in annual GDP growth, due to more & bigger government, has lopped off about $15,000 in Median Family Income. If we'd continued the 3.1% growth, the average American would have some 22% in higher income, Moore says. And now Mr. Biden and his party want a blank check on the earning power of the American people?

WILLIAMS: Small Business Committee Republicans Keep Their Promises in First 100 Days

For too long, the American people have suffered countless policy failures and unacceptable lack of transparency under one party Democrat rule.

MOORE: I Showed Up at the "Patriotic Millionaires" Press Conference the Other Day...

It should be pretty clear that raising your tax rates to 70% or 80% or 90% would be an economic killer. Jobs, businesses and people would leave – or the rich would stop investing.
