Victor Davis Hanson draws parallels between the current left-wing violence aimed at derailing the Trump Administration’s policies and the bitter, deadly struggle over Kansas Territory before the Civil War. Then, as now, writes Hanson at American Greatness, Democrats and their allies used threats and blood to pursue a goal – making Kansas a slave state – that they couldn’t achieve via the ballot box. Then, it led to 600,000 deaths.

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.”]
