An investigation that shows how the most ambitious figures in the Democratic Party want to transform the rest of America into the progressive dystopia that is California.

Take a close look at today’s Democratic Party power brokers and you’ll quickly realize most of them share one thing in common: California. Residents are fleeing the Golden State in droves, the state’s homelessness crisis is the worst in the country, drug-related deaths are skyrocketing, and violent crime and smash-and-grab retail theft is now commonplace. For too many across the state, pursuing the Californian Dream is now a fool’s errand. But what people don't know is what's driving these failures and why California leaders have allowed them to spiral.

Fool’s Gold exposes the most powerful names in politics: Gavin Newsom, Kamala Harris, Nancy Pelosi, and Adam Schiff, among others. This explosive book reveals why the chaos in America continues to get worse, and provides hopeful recommendations for how the U.S. can get back on track.

It’s a story the mainstream media would prefer to keep hidden.

Critic reviews

Fool’s Gold exposes the dangerous progressive vision that has failed California and now threatens every American.”—PETER SCHWEIZER, author of #1 NY Times bestsellers Blood Money, Red-Handed, and Clinton Cash
“It's too simple to merely write-off the collapse of California as a result of failed left-wing ideology run amok. Prevailing liberal dogmas loom large over this 21st century disaster, to be sure. But, at its root, the California nightmare is the perfect example of how ‘absolute power corrupts absolutely.’ Susan Crabtree employees her award-winning investigative skills to ‘follow the money’ and expose the good old fashioned political corruption that one party rule in the formerly Golden State has empowered the rich to the detriment of the hard-working citizens who once saw California as the place to live their American dream. This book also serves as the proverbial canary in the coal mine warning for the other 49 states. Read this book and be forewarned: The same powers exposed here will surely ‘California our country’ if given the opportunity in Washington DC."—LARRY O'CONNOR, WMAL radio host

Three out four is not bad, but Nancy Pelosi was my main reason for buying this book. With little said about Nancy I was a little upset, a little more on Adam Schiff would have been icing on my cake. Thank you so much information on Mrs. Newsom, I know I hate her more now after reading the book. I will be waiting on your next book think about it, Pocahontas, Bernie Sanders, Maxine Waters, Michelle Obama I would love to know the real facts on these people. LOL!!!!! I have heard so much gossip on all of them. Thanks Marion

Congrats to these two individuals who through their extensive research, they delivered an amazing book that pulls back the political curtain and shows we are indeed led by incompetent people.

The truth is here
