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

  • Why did Colorado flip blue?
    In summer 2004 four left-leaning Colorado multimillionaires hatched a plot to do the Democrats' job for them. By the November 2006 election the so-called Gang of Four and their allies had flipped the Colorado House, Senate, and governorship blue and constructed a political infrastructure that has so far prevented Colorado Republicans from recovering. Ken Braun looks at the Colorado blueprint here.
  • Who conspired with the AFL-CIO to "fortify" the 2020 election?
    In fall 2019, AFL-CIO heavyweight Mike Podhorzer began organizing a cabal of left-leaning donors and activist groups to "fortify" America's democratic system against what they saw as a threat to American democracy, namely, Donald Trump's re-election. CRC's Michael Hartmann examines a recent article in Time magazine that confirms the existence of a left-wing "conspiracy" (the author's word) against the American electorate. Fear not: the author assures us our "betters" know what's best for us. Read Hartmann's probing analysis here.
  • Why are women leaving the workforce?
    The exit of millions of women from the labor force has been the most predictable consequence of the lockdowns of public schools, as CRC's Michael Watson predicted in July. Yet feminist groups have remained silent when teachers unions demand schools stay closed until "zero community spread"--which is likely a medical impossibility. Watson reports on the feminists' silence, and the union money behind it, here.
  • Why did the NeverTrumpers at the Lincoln Project implode?
    CRC's Michael Watson reports that the very public meltdown of the Lincoln Project only occurred after the Left no longer needed its attacks on Donald Trump. Media outlets like the Associated Press had long ignored reporting by CRC and others that revealed how the group's GOP consultants channeled many of the millions they raised from left-wing donors into their own companies. That self-dealing, along with sexual harassment of young men, is now sealing the group's fate. Read more here.

  • Which international organization admits the U.S. doesn't need the Paris Climate Agreement?
    Irony so thick you can cut it with a knife: A new report from the U.N. credits rapidly falling U.S. emissions in recent years to the country's widespread adoption of natural gas--which occurred thanks to our fracking boom--and, to a lesser extent, more use of wind and solar energy. The U.S. should reach 2020 emissions reductions targets in the 2010 Cancun Agreements, unlike much-lauded "green" Canada, which stayed in the Paris Agreement. CRC's Hayden Ludwig reports here.

Architects of Woke: Michel Foucault and Science as “Oppression”

Michel Foucault & Science as 'Oppression,' the eighth episode of CRC's Architects of Woke series, reveals the influence of the late French thinker Michel Foucault. If you’ve ever seen science attacked as “too white” or “too male,” then you’ve seen Foucault's influence. Rather than recognizing that science is one means of understanding the world, Foucault insisted science is just a tool the powerful use to oppress the rest of us. Foucault saw distinctions like “sane” vs. “crazy” and “man” vs. “woman” as inherently oppressive and blamed science for reinforcing such categories. Ironically, Foucault’s denial of science contributed to his death.

 Radical Republicans, Corporate Democrats?



In this episode, continuing what has become something of a series on how American big business, big labor, and other “bigs” have become aggressively more aligned with liberalism, today we turn to Big Business—Wall Street, Big Tech, and so forth. Groups like the Chamber of Commerce were once stalwarts of the Republican Party, but in the 2020 election they were far less aligned with their historical allies. Joining me to discuss the realignment of Big Business support is my Capital Research Center colleague Shane Devine.

As always, I welcome your thoughts on how we can better serve our mission of exposing the Left's activists and donors. E-mail me at [email protected], or call me at 202.464.2044.
