Good morning from Washington, which President Biden left behind yesterday afternoon for Camp David as Taliban militants continued their bloody march to retake Afghanistan. This mess started with President Obama, Jim Carafano writes. What are newly arrived illegal immigrants hoping for? Kaylee Greenlee asks. Plus: Democrats turn on the Love Gov; the White House thumbs its nose at the Constitution; critical race theory poisons the military; and how to instill love of country. Fifty years ago today, St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Bob Gibson throws the first no-hitter of a storied, 17-season career, easing the way to an 11-0 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates. Enjoy the weekend.
