May 21 2022
Good morning from Washington on this Armed Forces Day. Unfortunately, President Biden is dismantling everything we ask our military to defend, Victor Davis Hanson writes. Pro-abortion protesters get vulgar outside Justice Amy Coney Barrett’s home, Cully Stimson reports. On the podcast, Richard Reinsch and John Yoo assess whether the Supreme Court will force Congress to do its job rather than leave it to the bureaucracy.

“A Catholic legislator who supports procured abortion, after knowing the teaching of the Church, commits a manifestly grave sin,” the archbishop writes.
Residents of Los Angeles and San Francisco—home, respectively, to George Gascon and Chesa Boudin—have borne the brunt of their pro-criminal, anti-victim policies.
