State of the World from NPR - Will the ‘Iron Curtain’ fall again? Remembering Putin’s charm offensive in Texas

Relations between Russia and Europe seem to be changed for good. That's having ripple effects along the thousand miles of Russia's border with the EU, including a Norwegian border town that had prided itself on good relations with Russia. And Russia's invasion of Ukraine makes it hard to remember that decades ago, Vladimir Putin was on a charm offensive with the West. One stop was Crawford, Texas, with then-President George W. Bush.

The Daily Signal - Sex-Change Surgeries for Kids: A-OK With Biden

The Biden administration recently sent a letter to the attorney general of each state, warning the top law enforcement officials that they could be violating civil rights law if they don’t comply with “gender-affirming care” procedures for children. 

But just what is this gender-affirming care promoted by President Joe Biden, and how does it affect kids? 

Jay Richards, a senior research fellow at The Heritage Foundation’s DeVos Center for Religion and Civil Society, says the term is a euphemism for giving hormones to children and, in many cases, performing irreversible surgery on them.

These hormones and surgeries have long-term consequences for a child. 

“If you give a girl heavy doses of testosterone for several years, this causes her uterus to atrophy. It can effectively sterilize her,” Richards says. “And the same thing if you’ve got a boy, especially these pre-pubescents: So you delay puberty and then you give him estrogen. This can not only sterilize the child, it can actually make them so they can’t even function sexually.”

Richards joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to discuss gender ideology and reveal how the Biden administration is pushing it on America’s children.

We also cover these stories: 

  • Consumer prices rose by 8.5% in March, the highest level since December 1981, the Labor Department says.
  • New York’s lieutenant governor resigns in the face of bribery and other charges in a federal corruption probe.
  • A new law in Oklahoma makes abortion illegal.
