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

  • Congressman Swalwell is still on the House Intelligence Committee?
    Shortly before his January 2015 appointment to the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) was involved with a woman whom U.S. law enforcement considered a Chinese spy. He ended the relationship after a warning from the FBI. CRC's Ken Braun notes the irony that Rep. Swalwell repeatedly accused President Donald Trump of being a Russian agent here.
  • What was Zuckerberg's return on investment in Pennsylvania?
    Arguments over this year's vote in Pennsylvania will continue, but one critical aspect deserves more attention: the millions of dollars that flowed from Mark Zuckerberg and his wife into the state's election offices via the Center for Tech and Civic Life (CTCL). In a follow-up to my commentary on similar dubious funding in George, I discuss the effects of private, targeted donations given to local election offices in dozens of Pennsylvania counties here.
  • How independent is the Missouri Independent?
    The Missouri Times exposed the Missouri Independent as a leftist "wolf in sheep's clothing." CRC's Hayden Ludwig dug deeper and confirmed that, far from "independent," the Missouri Independent is a front for the States Newsroom, which leads an activist network of left-wing websites that feeds Americans propaganda pretending to be news. Read his report here.
  • Who invested hundreds of millions in Georgia and other swing states?
    Mark Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan, gave hundreds of millions to a nonprofit to help fund election efforts in several states including Georgia. But what happens after this flood of money dries up? Do these people care about what happens to Georgians after the banners and slogans have been packed up and the election is over? CRC's Sarah Lee, a Georgian, asks the questions here.

This Business Will Get out of Control
 

In this episode: We'e doing something different this week, because we're recording this on Thursday January 7, 2021. Yesterday, a riotous mob stormed the U.S. Capitol and attempted to prevent the certification of the votes of the Electoral College that made Democrat Joe Biden President-elect of the United States.

There is no excuse for demonstrators, whatever their beliefs and goals, to overrun police barricades and attempt to prevent the people's elected representatives from carrying out their duties. Violence is not speech—and storming the Capitol is violence. At Capital Research Center, we do have a specific point of view: We believe in free markets, Constitutional government, and individual liberty—violent disruption of the legislature is not that.

Best wishes,

Scott Walter, President
