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

  • What has offended the SPLC this time?
    If not for the Southern Poverty Law Center, how would we ever learn that naming the coronavirus after its point of origin--Wuhan, China--is "racist" and constitutes "anti-Chinese fearmongering." Even worse, Western States Center (an SPLC partner) has imagined that social distancing will lead to a spike in white nationalism. CRC's Ashley Rae Goldenberg observes the antics of the newest "useful idiots" for the Chinese Communist Party here.

  • What drives George Soros?
    In a review of George Soros's latest book, CRC's Shane Devine takes us on a tour of Soros's mind, explaining his philosophy and what drives his philanthropic work. Viewing Soros as a principled human being enables us to critique him more productively by letting us calmly and rationally challenge his ideas with our own. Join the tour here.
  • Who gave $29 million to Arabella's pro-abortion arm?
    CRC's Hayden Ludwig looks at the Buffett Foundation's $4 billion in donations to pro-abortion groups since 2000. From that mountain of money, he traces $29 million in donations in 2018 to the Hopewell Fund (an Arabella subsidiary), which in turn funnels the cash throughout the Left's massive network of pro-abortion groups. Read what he found here.
  • Where does America get its medical equipment?
    The coronavirus pandemic has spotlighted America's dependence on foreign sources for critical medical equipment, from surgical masks to MRI and CAT scan equipment. This parallels a related U.S. overreliance on China, Russia, and third-world dictatorships for minerals critical to our economy and military. Guest authors Ned Mamula and Ann Bridges lay out the problem here.

Playing Pandemic Politics
 



In this episode, we discuss how left-leaning legislators have not let the coronavirus crisis go to waste:  first, by going on a wild spending spree to purchase political ads knocking the Trump administration’s response to the pandemic. But also by inserting legislative wish-list items into the coronavirus relief bills--efforts that could pave the way for voter fraud while potentially destroying the gig economy. Finally, we reveal exactly why blindly supporting unions can have disastrous consequences for union members as we describe one union boss who may have embezzled as much as $1 million from a first-responders' pension fund.

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

 

Best wishes,

Scott Walter, President
