John, I'm excited to share the latest from CRC with you: |
- How is unreported foreign funding influencing America?
The University of Pennsylvania received more than $15 million in anonymous donations from China in 2018. In 2000, the Trump administration called out Harvard and Stanford for failing to report $6.5 billion in foreign funding. In Congress, heightened concerns over unreported foreign money have prompted several legislative proposals. CRC's Sarah Lee critiques the proposed legislation here.
- Is "woke capitalism" waning?
Recent indications suggest that support for environmental, social, and governance (ESG) activism--"woke capitalism"--may be wavering in corporate America. Yet even if the business elite is becoming less receptive to the ever-growing demands of left-of-center ESG activists, this isn't the endgame. CRC's Robert Stilson warns about the ESG activists have other ways to fulfill their wish list here.
- What is Vote.org's real goal?
While Vote.org claims to be nonpartisan, nearly all its activities seem designed to increase voter registration and turnout among Democratic voters. The organization not only explicitly targets likely Democratic voters in its outreach, but also proudly allies with other prominent left-wing groups. CRC's Jonathan McGee investigates Vote.org's dubious activities here.
- Whither conservativism?
In Conservatism: A Rediscovery, political theorist Yoram Hazony argues that conservatism should return to its older, deeper, Anglo-American religious and nationalist roots--as opposed to continuing the newer "classical liberalism" that it basically has been since the 1960s. CRC's Michael Hartmann reviews Hazony's latest offering in his ongoing and intellectual clarification of conservatism here.
