Happy Friday from Washington, where the nation’s homeland security chief appears to have alienated rank-and-file Border Patrol agents by allowing a surge in illegal immigration. A union official is fed up, Fred Lucas reports from Texas. With an end in view for abortion on demand, a pro-life advocate shares her own regrets. On the podcast, an abortion survivor reveals what she shares with pro-choice Americans. Plus: Dennis Prager on today’s absurdities; Tim Goeglein on lonely Gen Zers; and Doug Blair on Reddit’s cleanup for leftists. Thirty years ago today, former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev reviews the Cold War in a speech at Missouri’s Westminster College—where Winston Churchill delivered his celebrated “Iron Curtain” speech 46 years earlier.
