Steven Hayward at the Civitas Institute charts the remarkable transformation of the U.S. from energy beggar importing 75 percent of its crude oil into the world’s foremost producer and a major exporter of oil and natural gas. Out the window are “Peak Oil” theory, ever-higher energy prices and the green energy obsession. Plentiful affordable energy is now driving an American industrial revival and enabling the U.S. to lead the AI revolution.
Radical Transgenderism Takes Another Hit
The 11,000-member American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) – which includes hundreds of Canadian members – “has come out unequivocally against ‘gender-affirming’ surgeries in adolescents under age 19,” writes Leor Sapir in City Journal. The ASPS has also joined a growing number of international organizations in warning about the potential physical and psychological damage to children and teens of puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones.
[Editor’s note: Two days after the ASPS’s announcement, the American Medical Association announces it now agrees that gender-altering “surgical interventions in minors should be generally deferred to adulthood.”]
