Gary Bauer's End of Day Report

When pro-family, pro-life conservative organizations like American Values apply for grants from foundations or corporations, it’s often a complicated process with lots of hoops we have to jump through. But when the Left knocks on corporate or foundation doors, the money flows freely. Black Lives Matter was deluged by corporate cash during the 2020 riots. Corporate CEOs were lining up to prostrate themselves before the BLM bandits. But the only Black lives that benefitted from all that corporate virtue signaling were a handful of BLM leaders. We later learned that BLM really stood for “Buying Large Mansions.” It was the same for the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), which raked in cash from corporate giants, including JPMorgan Chase, after the 2017 Charlottesville riot.  That would be the same riot that the SPLC helped fund, which I suppose was a good investment for them. The SPLC’s revenue more than doubled that year.
