John, I'm excited to share the latest from CRC with you:What will go "woke" next? ([link removed]
Wokeism has started leaching into the mental health professions, blurring the lines between treating people and enabling them. The "woke" mentality in academia has brought us mental health practitioners who are more interested in "social justification" of behaviors that harm patients and others, rather than actually treating patients.

In 2005, President Jimmy Carter, a Democrat, and James Baker III, a Republican, co-authored a study of America's election systems, a report that still stands as a monument to how to run free, fair, transparent elections. Sadly, today's leftists bitterly oppose almost everything the report proposed, from "a universal and up-to-date [voter] registration list" to a voter identification system.

Minnesota legislators are grappling with how to prevent a repeat of the Feeding Our Future scandal. In what the FBI calls a "massive fraud scheme," Feeding Our Future and groups it oversaw are accused of stealing tens of millions of dollars from federal nutrition programs.

Independent Sector recently released its third annual survey on trust in American nonprofit groups and philanthropy. It found that Democrats have more trust in philanthropy than Republicans and the general population do, and that independents have less trust than the general population. Of course, politicized nonprofits and a growing recognition that philanthropy is ideologically imbalanced may explain the declining trust. CRC's Michael Hartman investigates here ([link removed]

Why Opposing Nuclear Energy = Support for Eagle Elimination

The energy firm NextEra recently pleaded guilty to three federal charges of killing eagles with wind turbines. The plea included an $8 million fine and a commitment to spend $27 million to prevent future kills. The penalties should have been worse.

NextEra didn’t act alone. Hundreds of hypocritical nonprofits implicitly endorse eagle elimination because they oppose nuclear energy and promote massive build-out of wind turbines. These nonprofits' combined annual budgets exceed $1 billion.

InfluenceWatch Podcast 221
Anti-Trust and Distrust
In this episode ([link removed] The actions of Big Tech companies, most prominently Twitter and Facebook's decision to ban then-President Donald Trump from their platforms, have led many conservatives to consider having government use anti-trust powers--which conservatives have long been skeptical of--to crack down on these companies' power.

Joining Michael Watson on the podcast is a skeptic of that approach, Paul Steidler of the Lexington Institute, to discuss the case against an antitrust crackdown on tech companies. Coming soon: The other side of this argument, when we talk to conservatrive Jon Schweppe of the American Principles Project.
