First look:   Something doesn't add up, Biden says massive bill is "paid for" Jen Psaki on why Biden refuses to answer some media questions General Milley will be in the hot seat today on Capitol Hill You won't believe the dumb stuff included in Dems' $3.5T bill

Biden is really really bad at math. Claims $3.5T bill is "paid for" Headline: ZERO DOLLARS, ZERO SENSE! Biden Says $3.5 Trillion Build Back Better Plan Costs Nothing The First take: We're betting Joe's one of those people who thinks if he still has checks in his check book, he still has money in his account.  READ IT ALL HERE BONUS: Dana Loesch on Biden's booster shot

We finally learn why Biden won't take questions from the media Headline: Psaki On Biden Ignoring Reporters: Questions ‘Not Always On Point,’ Not What He Wants ‘To Talk About’ The First take: Can someone please tell Joe he's the president of all the people... and of all the press. Perhaps we give him a shirt that reads, "All Questions Matter." GET THE WHOLE STORY HERE Bonus: Jen Psaki is "whipping a dead horse" and sticking with Admin's narrative on border horse incident

Afghanistan, calls to China likely to come up with General Milley today Headline: Gen. Milley faces his toughest day yet on Capitol Hill The First take: Easy predictions on which side will be grilling the Joint Chiefs Chair and which side will be kissing his backside. This should be fun for all the political geeks (like us). Don't expect us to answer any text messages during the hearing. GET  THE STORY Bonus: Pentagon says it won't be asking the Taliban for permission for next airstrike   Bonus: Pentagon says about 100 Americans still in Afghanistan, exit hampered by Taliban 'unpredictability'

Deal or No Deal? Dems' $3.5 T bill is in Joe Manchin's hands, apparently Headline: Manchin cast doubt on deal this week for $3.5T spending bill The First take: We're down to the wire on Pelosi's, Schumer's, and Biden's big bill. But WV Senator Joe Manchin is still the lynchpin. Perhaps Mr. Manchin has actually read the bill and seen the insane spending inside of the legislative leviathan? Check out the "bonus" story below...
