Frederick Douglass began his career thinking the American founding was forever tainted by the original sin of slavery. He ended it thinking that the Founders were visionaries. What changed his mind? Our new video has the story.

In 1977, the White House told Congress that the U.S. would run out of natural gas by the early 21st century. In reality? Our natural gas production soared. Why are we so bad at forecasting the future of energy? Our new video tells the story.

How advanced was classical Rome? One scholar noted that in the year 100 Rome had better paved streets, sewage systems, water supplies, and fire protection than the capitals of Europe had in 1800.

In 2013, Harvard hired a Chinese dissident as a visiting fellow. Two years later, it forced him to indefinitely postpone an event with another dissident. The reason? The event coincided with the trip Harvard’s president was making — to China.

Chinese high-speed rail? Built in three years, over 1.3 billion passengers in its first decade. California high-speed rail? Still not operating, nearly 20 years after approval. Our new video explains how this happens.

Annual U.S. births by mother’s age.

Almost nobody understands how American taxes actually work. Even the IRS admits it doesn't know how long the tax code is. And that confusion isn't just annoying — it's the single best weapon politicians have to mislead you. Our new video separates fact from fiction.

The U.S. federal deficit, revenue, and debt since 1981.

Age distribution of hospital visits due to punching walls.

What is America doing right when it comes to the health of the environment? Quite a lot actually. In recent years, the U.S. has cleaned up its air and water, protected forests and endangered species, lowered carbon emissions, and more. But … what about other countries?

The fundamentals of American life — our economy, our technology, even our military — depend on minerals imported from around the world. Just one problem: Many of those minerals are controlled by our adversaries. Our new video examines the dangers, and whether we can escape them.

In 1974, Congress imposed a 55 MPH speed limit on the entire country. Everyone ignored it. And it actually made roads more dangerous. Our new Short explains America’s love affair with speeding.

A majority of Americans think the political system is rigged against them. But some of the most common claims of “rigging” ... don’t stand up to scrutiny. Our new Short looks at three common myths about the unfairness of American government.

The most controversial subject this Thanksgiving might be ... what’s on the menu. Our new Short reveals the dishes that divide America — and the dessert that unites a nation.

Comparing midweek golf trips between 2019 and 2022.

Beijing has placed propaganda in American newspapers, used fake accounts to bolster social media posts, and engaged in widespread economic espionage, stealing Western technology in the hopes of taking it back to China. What’s their government’s goal? They’ve actually told us...
