John, I'm excited to share the latest from CRC with you:

  • Why did Oliver Stone suddenly turn pro-growth, pro-energy?
    In the waning days of the 2020 election, left-wing moviemaker Oliver Stone read Apocalypse Never: Why Environmental Alarmism Hurts Us All. Afterward, he told his 170,000 Twitter followers this new book is "a striking, optimistic cry against the apocalyptic environmentalists that haunt the present landscape." Ken Braun reviews the book that converted Stone to a pro-growth, pro-energy advocate here.
  • When will teachers unions let schools to reopen?
    When schools closed in March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, few Americans thought most public schools would stay closed through 2021. Yet teachers unions continue to use the pandemic to hold parents and students (and even teachers) hostage to a long list of demands, most of them left-wing agenda items unrelated to COVID. Michael Watson details the insanity and the reactions by parents and state officials here and here.
  • How much did Zuckerberg spend to tilt the election?
    The pattern of targeted grants from the Center for Technology and Civic Life, funded by $350 million from Mark Zuckerberg and his wife, extended to North Carolina, Michigan, and Wisconsin. In the latest installments in CRC's series of reports, Hayden Ludwig traces tens of millions of dollars in highly irregular, targeted grants to local election officials in those states here and here.
  • Is the Democratic Party becoming the party of Big Business?
    Historically, white-collar business professionals were usually Republican, and the blue-collar working classes were Democrats. But this has been gradually changing. Workers who used to be the staunchest Democrats voted for Trump in 2016 and 2020. And many Republicans have been voting blue. Wall Street donors went decisively blue in 2020. CRC's Shane Devine looks at what may be a party realignment in the making here.

Demographics Are Not Destiny

Both the Left and the Alt-Right believe that racial demographics will control the future of American politics. That’s nonsense. The desire to view the world through the lens of race forces identitarians to inaccurately stereotype the individuals within racial groups, who have drastic political differences. The 2020 election proved demographics are not destiny.
