John, I'm excited to share the latest from CRC with you:
- Who was behind the dirty campaign trick in Virginia?
In a letter to the editor of the Wall Street Journal, I tied Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) to a "dark money" outfit that worked with the NeverTrumpers at the Lincoln Project to pull the ugly "Nazi" hoax in the 2021 Virginia gubernatorial election. Perhaps the Senator should investigate his friends involved in that dirty trick, especially since the same people are his source for the info used in his famous charts of "dark money." Read the letter here.
- Why do teachers unions control so many school boards?
Liberal special interests effectively control many municipal governments, especially school boards. Teachers unions have many tricks for influencing school board races, and other left-wing groups work the same scams to put their thumbs on the scale. CRC's Michael Watson pulls back the curtain on the schemes here.
- How far did Soros's $3.2 million go in the 2021 elections?
George Soros spends millions of dollars on political contributions each election, and 2021 contests were no different. By connecting the dots on his money flows, CRC has found Soros spent approximately $3.2 million on political contributions in 2021. CRC's Parker Thayer follows the money here.
- Who was behind the war on the Trump Interior Department?
For years "dark money" activists ran a coordinated campaign to sabotage and undermine the Trump administration from the offices of Arabella Advisors in Washington, DC. The campaign has culminated in the most extreme environmentalist regime in American history under President Joseph Biden. CRC's Hayden Ludwig goes inside the Left's war on affordable energy here.

How Left-Wing Billionaires Use Charitable Dollars for Political Purposes
I sat down with Cleta Mitchell on her podcast to discuss how the Left uses "charitable" dollars for political purposes. I sketched out the facts on the vast political funding apparatus the Left has built over many years. The scheme lets left-wing billionaires use tax-deductible dollars to fuel a massive Democratic turnout machine.

The National School Board Association's Arrogant Overreach
In this episode: Last month, the National School Boards Association (NSBA) threw a grenade into debates surrounding local school policy by sending a letter to the Biden administration that asked for a federal investigation of behavior at school board meetings, even suggesting the Justice Department invoke the PATRIOT Act anti-terrorism law.
Outrage descended from numerous quarters after the Biden Justice Department issued its own directive to convene FBI meetings on the matter. Parents, political activists, school officials, and even state-level school boards groups denounced NSBA's actions, with some state associations disaffiliating from the national group.
Joining us to discuss the Ohio School Boards Association's decision to disaffiliate from the NSBA is Sara Clark, OSBA's chief legal counsel.
