In the wake of the attack that killed at least 12 U.S. service members and 60 Afghans at the Kabul airport Thursday, Rep. Diana Harshbarger is calling for the impeachment of President Joe Biden.
In a statement, the congresswoman blamed Biden for a “disastrous withdrawal” in Afghanistan and accused the president of having no plan to get Americans and allies out of the country.
U.S. Rep. Diana Harshbarger said Friday that America’s allies are thinking they can’t trust the U.S to keep its word to defend their nations because the Biden Administration has essentially “abandoned” its own citizens and longtime supporters in Afghanistan in the face of the recent Taliban takeover there.

The Kingsport lawmaker said the measure will “give Congress and the American people better insight and oversight” into how DHS supports its mission.

Everywhere you turn these days, you see “Help Wanted” signs. Small businesses across America are desperately looking for workers. But oftentimes, barriers and bad policy stand in the way of connecting businesses with potential employees. Government’s response to COVID, including the extension of supplemental unemployment benefits, has certainly played a role in this. Another such barrier that isn’t getting as much attention is unnecessary occupational licensing. In the 1950s, just one in 20 workers needed a license to do their job.
Throughout the coronavirus pandemic, state governments have made changes to occupational licensing laws and regulations to make it easier to provide needed services and help individuals who find themselves unable to complete educational requirements or are simply out of work.
