Welcome to CURE AMERICA - THIS WEEK, hosted by Donald T. Eason, Pastor and President of CURE (Center for Urban Renewal and Education). The episode delves into Eason's Israel trip, where President Isaac Herzog declared, “This is our land, blessed by God,” emphasizing Israel's divine claim and the need for accessibility to all. The panel—Kristen A. Ullman, JD (President of Eagle Forum), Jonathan Alexandre (Vice President of Governmental Affairs, Liberty Counsel), and Marty Dannenfelser (Vice President of Government Relations and Coalitions, CURE)—explores President Trump's trade negotiations with over 70 countries, efforts to lower interest rates, and a 2025 budget resolution funding national security, border security, and tax cuts. Discussions cover misinformation surrounding federal spending cuts, the benefits of reduced illegal immigration, and block grants to states for fiscal control, clarifying that “cuts” mean slowing spending growth.   In a one-on-one interview, Dr. OJ Oleka, CEO of the State Financial Officers Foundation, shares his family's journey from Nigerian immigrants arriving in 1980 to achieving the American Dream through faith, education, and hard work. The conversation highlights financial literacy, school choice, and tithing as tools to combat poverty, with Oleka noting the biblical call in Malachi to “test” God through tithing for abundant blessings. He directs viewers to sfof.com for resources on state financial officers' literacy initiatives. The episode concludes with a panel discussion on a Supreme Court case challenging Maryland's LGBTQ curriculum for elementary students, which denies parental opt-outs. Topics include the ideological nature of materials like Pride Puppy, the elitist dismissal of parental authority, the curriculum's impact on young children, and the diverse plaintiffs (Christian, Muslim, Ethiopian Orthodox) opposing it. The panel advocates for school choice and parental opt-out rights, urging viewers to contact Congress in this faith-driven call to action.

Most people don't know that there is a Congressional Arts Congress. There are arts folks that on a bi-partisan level advocate for The Arts, and so, artists, if you live somewhere remote, and ask how can I advocate, you might be reaching out to your Congress person, and say, "hey, do you want to join a Congressional Arts Caucus?" and [use their language and join. ~Erica Lauren OrtizErica Lauren Ortiz (she/her) is a seasoned non-profit leader, arts advocate, and creative producer with deep roots in theatre, media, and cultural strategy.

Crossing Lines: Cross-Ethnic Coalitions in India and Prospects for Minority Representation (Routledge, 2024) explains why, how, and where ethnic political parties unexpectedly seek votes from non-coethnics and when voters support non-coethnic parties. It draws on case studies of three Indian states (Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Rajasthan) and of Indian national elections to demonstrate how differences in party systems impact political party strategies and voter choices. It shows that multipolar party systems encourage political parties to provide physical security, representation, and economic benefits for minorities, especially Muslims, in India and as a result, foster cross-ethnic links between parties and voters. However, as political arenas become dominated by two or even one party, advocacy for the interests of marginalized groups declines, weakening cross-ethnic linkages. The book thus explains why representation and advocacy for Muslims in Uttar Pradesh and at the national level has alternated dramatically in the 21st century. Yash is a PhD candidate in Political Science at the School of Public and International Affairs, University of Cincinnati. His research is focused on the interactions of political mobilization and anti-minority violence within Hindu nationalist organizations in India.

March 18, 2025 ~ Julie Brenner, President and CEO of the Alliance of Coalitions for Healthy Communities, joins Kevin to discuss National Drugs and Alcohol Facts Week.

In this episode of Pekingology from June 2022, Jude Blanchette is joined by Victor Shih, associate professor and Ho Miu Lam Chair in China and Pacific Relations at the School of Global Policy and Strategy, UC San Diego. They discuss his book, Coalitions of the Weak: Elite Politics in China from Mao's Stratagem to the Rise of Xi.

At the end of each week, Mike Hosking takes you through the big-ticket items and lets you know what he makes of it all. Andrew Bayly: 3/10 It's a sad business. Was it a sackable offence? No. Does it put people off entering politics? I would have thought so. But when you call someone a loser and grab an arm, can you survive? It was the re-offence that was sackable. Law and order: 8/10 The violent crime stats and new detainment powers are tangible evidence of progress in the right direction. Marsden and the rebuild: 2/10 That's what is wrong with coalitions. They indulge folly. Temu: 3/10 We are spending more there and less domestically. Never underestimate the power of cheap crap. Tory Whanau: 1/10 Cancelling her Newstalk ZB slot is the beginning of the end. Cancelling Newstalk ZB slots doesn't tend to go well for voting patterns – I speak from experience. The Warriors: 7/10 Unbeaten in the offseason and some fairly ordinary, blow-up bat-wielding Raiders to tackle first up.

Tuesday, February 18, 2025Sliced: The Importance of Carbon Credit Purchasing CoalitionsIn this edition of Sliced, we dive into the power of Carbon Credit Purchasing Coalitions in driving climate action.

In the wake of natural disasters, navigating complicated bureaucratic systems can be extremely challenging – especially for those living in historically underserved communities. Community navigators can help raise awareness about available resources and provide technical assistance when applying for grants or other government aid.  In this episode of Out West, WGA senior policy advisor Jonah Seifer speaks with Meryl Harrell, the Deputy Under Secretary for Natural Resources and Environment at the U.S. Department of Agriculture. They discuss the department's newly formed community navigators program and how it can help disseminate funds more equitably and efficiently.   Jonah also spoke with Jonathan Bruno and Thérèse d'Auria Ryley from Coalitions and Collaboratives, one of the USDA's partners charged with enacting the community navigators program on the ground.

New motherhood is often seen as a joyful moment in a woman's life; for some women, it is also their lowest moment. For much of the twentieth century, popular and medical voices blamed women who had emotional and mental distress after childbirth for their own suffering. By the end of the century, though, women with postpartum mental illnesses sought to take charge of this narrative.  In Blue: A History of Postpartum Depression in America (U Chicago Press, 2024), Rachel Louise Moran explores the history of the naming and mainstreaming of postpartum depression. Coalitions of maverick psychiatrists, psychologists, and women who themselves had survived substantial postpartum distress fought to legitimize and normalize women's experiences. They argued that postpartum depression is an objective and real illness and fought to avoid it being politicized alongside other fraught medical and political battles over women's health. Based on insightful oral histories and in-depth archival research, Blue reveals a secret history of American motherhood, women's political activism, and the rise of postpartum depression advocacy amid an often-censorious conservative culture. By breaking new ground with the first book-length history of postpartum mental illness in the twentieth century, Moran brings mothers' battles with postpartum depression out of the shadows and into the light.

Le 7 juillet, les élections législatives anticipées, à la suite de la dissolution prononcée par Emmanuel Macron, ont divisé l'Assemblée nationale en trois forces d'envergure à peu près égale : le Nouveau Front populaire, arrivé en tête du scrutin, suivi de la coalition présidentielle Ensemble et du Rassemblement national. Aucune de ces formations n'a obtenu la majorité absolue.Dans d'autres pays, lorsque ce genre de situation se présente, les partis peuvent s'entendre pour proposer une coalition avec un programme de compromis. Et le président de la République aurait alors tenu le rôle d'arbitre impartial. Mais en France, tout le monde semble déboussolé : les partis politiques rechignent à discuter et à s'entendre avec d'autres forces. Quant au président de la République, loin d'endosser le rôle d'arbitre, il manœuvre pour nommer un premier ministre qui ne s'attaque pas trop à son bilan.Les institutions de la Ve République et la prééminence présidentielle de ce régime sont-elles à mettre en cause ?Dans cet épisode du podcast « L'Heure du Monde », Anne Chemin, journaliste au service Idées du Monde, nous explique que, contrairement aux idées reçues, la Constitution de 1958 propose au départ un régime parlementaire qui a connu une lente dérive vers le présidentialisme.Un épisode de Garance Muñoz et Cyrielle Bedu.

Join Star Parker this week for an in-depth exploration of America's political and cultural landscape on "Cure America." From the heart of Washington, D.C., where Congress is actively shaping the nation's future, we bring you a comprehensive look at the impending changes in government size and scope under the new administration. We sit down with Anthony Campo, a fellow in regulatory modernization at the Economic Policy Innovation Center (EPIC), who breaks down the regulatory process, offering insights into how past and present administrations have navigated these waters, with a stark contrast in regulatory costs. Our panel discussion features some of the brightest minds in conservative policy, including Richard Manning, President of Americans for Limited Government, Kristen A. Ullman, President of Eagle Forum, Donald T. Eason, a pastor, businessman, and activist, and Marty Dannenfelser, Vice President for Government Relations and Coalitions at CURE. They discuss government overreach, cultural shifts, and the influence of policy on daily life, highlighting the financial burden regulations place on families and attributing recent political shifts to voter fatigue with progressive policies.

Knowing what we want to be when we grow up is a gift, but for most of us, our careers take us to unexpected and surprising places—just like our guest for this episode. In this episode we hear from Dominique Johnson, Connecticut State Representative for the 143rd District, covering parts of Norwalk and Westport. Dominique takes us through her unexpected path into politics, starting from her days as an aspiring violinist to becoming a social scientist and finally, stepping into the world of public service.  With her skill of analytical thinking combined with a deep commitment to education and the youth, Dominique discovered social science and worked with nonprofits, eventually transitioning into a political career where she could directly impact her community.  She shares valuable insights about her dedication to making a tangible impact in her community through coalition-building and thoughtful legislation.  Topics Include: Using Past Experiences for Future Success: We can never truly know how the things we know and the skills we develop now will help us in the future. Dominique's background in social science and the analytical mind developed by music gave her the skills to address real-world issues through data-driven solutions. The Power of Community: It is incredibly important to have a community that supports and recognizes your potential —especially when pursuing paths you never imagined for yourself. Building Coalitions for Effective Governance: An approach to policy making is to emphasize collaboration and listening to diverse voices. Bipartisan efforts and coalition-building can lead to meaningful change, even in politically divided environments. Dominique's story is a reminder that the most meaningful careers often result from life's unexpected twists. As a dedicated community leader, her work aligns with the values of HAYVN—advocating for women's economic mobility, sustainability, and workforce development. Her ongoing efforts continue to support her constituents and contribute to building a more inclusive and resilient society.

In Coalitions of the Weak (Cambridge University Press, 2022), Victor C. Shih investigates how leaders of one-party autocracies seek to dominate the elite and achieve true dictatorship, governing without fear of internal challenge or resistance to major policy changes. Through an in-depth look of late-Mao politics informed by thousands of historical documents and data analysis, Coalitions of the Weak uncovers Mao's strategy of replacing seasoned, densely networked senior officials with either politically tainted or inexperienced officials. The book further documents how a decentralized version of this strategy led to two generations of weak leadership in the Chinese Communist Party, creating the conditions for Xi's rapid consolidation of power after 2012. Victor Shih is Professor of Political Science, Director of the 21st Century China Center, and Ho Miu Lam Chair in China and Pacific Relations at the University of California, San Diego. He is an expert on the politics of Chinese banking policies, fiscal policies, and exchange rate, as well as the elite politics of China. His first book was "Factions and Finance in China: Elite Conflict and Inflation" also with Cambridge University Press, and he edited the collection "Economic Shocks and Authoritarian Stability: Duration, Institutions and Financial Conditions," published by the University of Michigan Press. Shih also has published widely in a number of journals, including The American Political Science Review, Comparative Political Studies, Journal of Politics, The China Quarterly, and Party Politics. In our discussion he also mentions his latest work on China's local government debt crisis, available here. Interviewer Peter Lorentzen is an Associate Professor of Economics at the University of San Francisco, a nonresident scholar at the UCSD 21st Century China Center, an alumnus of the Public Intellectuals Program of the National Committee on US-China Relations, and is currently a visiting scholar at the Stanford Center on China's Economy and Institutions. His research focuses on the economics of information, incentives, and institutions, primarily as applied to the development and governance of China. Learn more about your ad choices.
