Good morning from Washington, where President Biden scores points with a dwindling base by penalizing Border Patrol agents for doing their jobs. Jarrett Stepman brings the outrage. An unsecure border and rising inflation rightly spell double trouble for Biden, Simon Hankinson writes. On the podcast, Doug Blair finds out why the left is out to spoil your fun. Plus: Ted Cruz wants to hear from the attorney general on protecting Supreme Court justices; pregnancy centers provide a real choice; and “Problematic Women” asks a school mom why she stands up for freedom. And 160 years ago today, President Abraham Lincoln signs into law a measure creating an Army Medal of Honor, which quickly becomes the highest honor awarded within any military branch.
