John, I'm excited to share the latest from CRC with you:What is the Left really saying? ([link removed]
From "anti-racism" to "climate change" to "peaceful protest" to "white privilege," the Left has invented its own language to confuse the public and advance its destructive ideas under false pretenses. CRC's Jon Rodeback offers a not completely tongue-in-cheek lexicon of words the Left has attempted to weaponize here ([link removed] badly did Big Labor fare at the ballot box in 2020?

In 2020, labor unions pushed ballot measures seeking to codify racial essentialism and preferences, impose left-wing "bail reform," reverse expanded gun rights, legalize marijuana, and expand mandatory "comprehensive sex education." This emphasis on cultural hobbyhorses of the Left lies far outside labor's supposed "economic core."

Big Labor has been in decline since the 1950s, when it commanded the loyalty and commandeered the dues of about one-third of the U.S. workforce. Today, only 11 percent of the workforce is unionized. And the politics of Big Labor are unflinchingly on the "social justice" left, across all issues and all unions. Michael Watson assesses the union threat to the economy here ([link removed]

Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and other social media platforms even silenced a sitting President. Apple, Amazon, and Google decided within a single weekend to eliminate Parler, a competing social media platform. Yet this should not have been a surprise; Big Tech censorship has been building for years.
