Joe Biden is under fire from Republicans in Congress who have called for the President’s resignation

Several Republican senators have called for US President Biden to resign. This comes after a terrorist attack in Kabul killed 13 US service members last week.

The GOP lawmakers are pushing for Biden to either resign, or for his impeachment. Some are even calling for leaders to use the 25th Amendment used to end his presidency.

The Republican outcry comes as the 2022 US midterm elections approach.

The party is eagerly trying to demonstrate how they would provide a necessary oversight on the Biden administration if voters provided them with the House and Senate.

Representative Jackie Walorski of the Ethics Committee says “President Biden has demonstrated that he is unfit to serve as commander-in-chief and, therefore, must resign”.

Meanwhile, Republican Senator Mitt Romney says the situation that we are seeing unfold on the ground in Afghanistan is the result of bad decisions of two administrations. He blamed not only Biden, but also Trump.

Under Joe Biden’s watch, the terrorists have retaken control of Afghanistan. Right now, American lives are in danger, our homeland security is at risk, and the commander in chief is on vacation.

Americans – and especially our War on Terror veterans – deserve better.

Is Biden likely to resign?

Of course, it is very unlikely that President Biden is going anywhere when the House of Representatives is controlled by the Democrats.

This is particularly certain as the party desperately tries to enact trillions of spending in domestic programs.

However, Biden’s Afghanistan withdrawal is likely to have an impact on voters. It could potentially put Republicans back into power come 2022.

Australia’s multimillion-dollar campaign to attract Hollywood productions to its shores appears to be paying off.

The allure of Australia lies not only in its picturesque locations but also in its competitive financial incentives.

The government offers generous rebates and tax breaks to international productions, making it an attractive proposition for filmmakers looking to maximise their budgets.

Despite the recent intake of Hollywood productions down under such as ‘The Fall Guy’ and ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’, Aussie independents are still finding the space to carve their own creative path.

Rob Fantozzi joined the program to discuss the latest in Hollywood, and showcased his own upcoming project – ‘Omerta‘. #featured

American home prices are rising at faster pace now than in the last 20-years.

A recent analysis reveals a jaw dropping surge in the cost of American homes.

Since the start of 2020, U.S. home prices have surged 47% easily outstripping the gains seen in recent decades.

On top of that, home price growth so far this decade is on the verge of surpassing all the growth seen in the 2000s.

Many experts believe this decade’s housing market frenzy was ignited by a perfect storm — the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic triggering an unprecedented rush among buyers.

Tom Hutchens, the Executive Vice President of Production at Angel Oak Mortgage Solutions joins Veronica Dudo to discuss.
