New op-ed from KT McFarland: Ukraine-Russia standoff a global crisis ACU board member and former National Security Adviser KT McFarland wrote an op-ed for Fox News on the escalating situation in Ukraine. The longer the Ukraine crisis stretches out, the more it resembles a worldwide Rorschach test. It forces every nation to reveal its innermost thoughts and desires. Given America’s weakness and perceived decline under President Biden , and China’s and Russia ’s new assertiveness, the inkblots on the Rorschach test have changed dramatically from just a year ago. America’s allies no longer trust us, and our adversaries are emboldened. Friend and foe alike are reassessing their interests and ambitions accordingly. Those inkblots have yet to settle in their new configuration and could re-form themselves even more so by next year at this time. Here is where stand today – a whole lot of questions, but very few sure-fire answers. Russia wants to bring Ukraine back under its historic control, by intimidation and force if necessary. It’s an essential part of Putin’s lifelong ambition to restore the Russian empire and stop NATO’s advance. He’s also using the Ukraine crisis to drive a wedge between NATO members. Putin wants NATO to pledge they will not allow Ukraine to join. NEWS & RELEASES .

Statement from CPAC Chairman Matt Schlapp and CPAC Board Member Gordon Chang on Speaker McCarthy’s Meeting with Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen. News & Releases Explore the latest updates, news, and product releases to stay informed and ahead of the curve. Statement from CPAC Chairman Matt Schlapp and CPAC Board Member Gordon Chang on Speaker McCarthy’s Meeting with Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen. Republicans in Congress remain fully committed to ensuring that our allies will not be abandoned. We therefore unequivocally support House Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s meeting with Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen. CPAC believes that peace comes through strength and that a strong relationship with Taiwan is not only critical for U.S. security interests in the East, but also for Taiwan’s protection against China. With Taiwan’s proximity to China, Taiwan’s security relies on the West’s and, specifically, the United States’ unwavering commitment to supporting our allies against tyrannical dictatorships. It is therefore critical that America positions itself to signal strength and reinforces our resolute dedication to supporting Taiwan and democratic nations. Defending Taiwan is defending America. ### NEWS & RELEASES .

Matt Schlapp Statement on Trump Verdict News & Releases Explore the latest updates, news, and product releases to stay informed and ahead of the curve. Matt Schlapp Statement on Trump Verdict Today is a tragic day in American history. From the outset, the mission of the radical Left been clear: prevent President Donald J. Trump from running for President by any means necessary. After failed impeachment attempts, the Left has finally succeeded, but in a different way than they intended. Instead of diminishing the leading candidate for President, they have instead undermined the rule of law and our republic. Since the initiation of these baseless and biased trials, the American people have recognized them for what they truly are—shameless attempts to dismantle a political adversary for his unwavering commitment to our country. The Left's actions throughout this trial, along with those stalled in the courts, have only served to galvanize support for President Trump. As we enter the final five months of the Presidential campaign, we know this won't be the Left's last effort to bring down President Trump. They know that they cannot defeat him at the ballot box, so they will resort to any means necessary, lawful, or otherwise, to prevent him from taking the Oath of Office. Make no mistake, their lawfare will backfire. No matter what dastardly deed they come up with, President Donald J. Trump will return to the White House. NEWS & RELEASES .

New op-ed from House leaders: “today’s spectacle won’t surpass the committee’s past misconduct” From Daily Caller : Once Democrats got complete control, they began trampling Americans’ constitutional rights. They trashed their due process protections, subpoenaed over a dozen Americans for the sole crime of planning First Amendment protected, legal and permitted political rallies, lied to witnesses, doctored text messages and made false accusations. The committee ignored House transparency rules and even the rules Democrats wrote to govern its conduct. All these abuses were meant to punish Democrats’ political opponents, which is the committee’s overarching goal. NEWS & RELEASES .

Matt Schlapp Statement in Support of Youngkin Tax Cut Proposal News & Releases Explore the latest updates, news, and product releases to stay informed and ahead of the curve. Matt Schlapp Statement in Support of Youngkin Tax Cut Proposal “Alexandria, VA — Matt Schlapp released the following statement in Support of Youngkin Tax Cut Proposal. “As the failed policies of the Biden administration continue to cause rampant inflation and shrink the United States economy, families across America need real relief that grows the economy. “As such, CPAC strongly supports Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s plan to provide meaningful tax cuts for Virginians. Under the proposal, the top income tax is reduced from 5.75% to 5.5%, which would save the average family of four $578 a year. In addition, the plan would make Virginia more competitive for businesses by lowering the corporate tax rate from 6% to 5%, while allowing a 10% business income tax deduction for small businesses. “Currently, Virginia has the 25th highest top income tax rate on individuals in the United States and the 20th lowest corporate tax rate. Under the proposal, Virginia would improve their standing to the 23rd lowest in individual income tax and tied for 14th lowest corporate tax rate. “With Gov. Youngkin’s successful leadership, the state’s rainy-day fund is on track to hit $4.2 billion by the end of fiscal 2024. Instead of spending increased tax revenue on duplicative government services, Gov. Youngkin’s proposal will spur the economy by alleviating burdens on families.” Matt Schlapp Chairman, CPAC ### NEWS & RELEASES .

CPAC CALLS FOR FULL PRESIDENTIAL PROTECTIVE DETAIL FOR PRESIDENT DONALD J.

CPAC CALLS FOR FULL PRESIDENTIAL PROTECTIVE DETAIL FOR PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP AND FOR THE RESIGNATION OF ACTING SECRET SERVICE DIRECTOR RONALD ROWE: It is unconscionable for the Biden-Harris administration and Acting U.S. Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe to continue to deny President Donald J. Trump a full protective detail. Since the catastrophic security failures during the failed assassination attempt on President Trump’s life on July 13th, the American people have not been provided with clear answers or accountability from Acting U.S. Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe. Yesterday, America was once again moments away from tragedy as another would-be assassin was able to get into position with a rifle at a distance capable of making an attempt on President Trump’s life. The American people deserve to know why the Biden-Harris administration and Acting U.S. Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe continue to put the life of President Trump at risk by failing to provide him the same security levels afforded to President Joe Biden.

ACU Sends Letter to NCAA President in Latest Effort to Protect Voters and Their Voices News & Releases Explore the latest updates, news, and product releases to stay informed and ahead of the curve. ACU Sends Letter to NCAA President in Latest Effort to Protect Voters and Their Voices President Mark Emmert The National Collegiate Athletic Association 700 W. Washington Street P.O. Box 6222 Indianapolis, Indiana 46206 April 14, 2021 Dear President Mark Emmert, For well over 100 years, the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) has controlled men’s and women’s college athletics, establishing the rules of play as well as the relationships between athletes and schools. The NCAA clearly has a spotty record when it comes to providing women with appropriate opportunities to compete, but to its credit, much progress has been made in recent decades. However, your decision to reverse the long-held position of the NCAA regarding women-only programs negates this progress. In caving to the demands of “woke” activists demanding that women athletes be penalized for being women begs the question: Why? In March, South Dakota’s legislature overwhelmingly passed H.B. 1217, which prohibits biological males from competing in women’s sports throughout schools and universities. Although originally eager to sign the South Dakota bill, Governor Kristi Noem backed away after you, as NCAA President, threatened the state with economic harm. Presumably, your timing was not a coincidence as the NCAA was set to appear before the Supreme Court in less than a week regarding a legal matter that threatens the NCAA’s existence. It is clear that your actions are not motivated by a desire to enhance opportunities for female athletes. Instead, additional information sheds light on what might be your true motivation, a $20 Billion motivation. The NCAA generates gargantuan sums of money—mostly from television broadcasting rights from men’s basketball and men’s football—and a large portion of that money is about to disappear from your balance sheet. The US Supreme Court is set to decide whether the NCAA uses its monopoly power illegally, and most Court watchers predict a swift ruling against your organization. In an effort to maintain the status quo at all costs, it seems that the NCAA is charging into even deeper political territory as a fallback position, hoping that Congress will carve out an exemption under the Sherman Antitrust Act. You have an uphill climb to curry favor with Nancy Pelosi. A majority of the NCAA’s detractors over the years have come from the political Left, often using Marxist dogma to decry how the organization takes profits associated with the labor of athletes while barely providing a pittance for their troubles. Indeed, the Biden Administration and several former officials of the NCAA filed compelling briefs against the NCAA. Sadly, your tactics appear to follow the well-worn path the NCAA has become known for: exploiting athletes. This time, however, you are exclusively targeting female athletes. Studies show that transgender women have a competitive advantage against biological women: males are generally physically larger, have stronger respiratory function, and have greater muscle mass, even after hormone therapy. Allowing transgender athletes to compete against biological women not only threatens the future of women’s sports, it puts these athletes in physical peril. There is simply nothing fair about this; it does not advance equality. However, your eagerness to preserve the $19.6 billion television contract the NCAA has with CBS to broadcast men’s basketball and the billions of dollars in revenue associated with men’s football means you continue to prioritize money over the wellbeing of student athletes. Most Americans continue to stand for the anthem, do not think that gender is a “social construct,” and will not take a knee in response to the aggressive and destructive tactics of Leftist activists who seek to upend the rights and freedoms that every American is entitled to. Most Americans may not be as gifted as the female athletes you have left at the starting line, but they are just as outraged by your craven response to protect the NCAA’s cash flow. That might be why a majority of state legislatures are considering legislation similar to the South Dakota bill you so aggressively criticized. Three other states – Tennessee, Arkansas, and Mississippi – have already enacted similar laws this year. Idaho passed one in 2020. Dozens of other states have introduced similar legislation. We call on you to stand down and desist from threatening governors and state legislators whose only motivation is to protect women’s athletics. We also ask that you meet with us to discuss appropriate ways protect women’s sports and the athletes who should be allowed to enjoy them. To continue pushing unpopular policies that harm women’s sports will only threaten the very future of the NCAA. — The American Conservative Union NEWS & RELEASES .
