President, Claremont Institute; Publisher CRB and The American Mind. Proud Hillsdale College alum. Views are mine and don’t reflect institutional position.
EXCLUSIVE: @MarathonPetroCo, America's largest oil refiner, removed the "safety" metric from its bonus compensation formula—and replaced it with "DEI." Then, in the following years, the company saw a spate of accidents, explosions, and deaths. This is a scandal. 🧵
Must-read from @StateDept’s Mike Needham (we’re proud to call him a @ClaremontInst Lincoln alum too). This is the speech he gave last week at the Reinudstrialize conference in Detroit. americanmind.org/salvo/building…
"It's a great time to be involved in politics in America because the crisis is coming. Great change is afoot. And so that's a great opportunity..." Claremont President @RpwWilliams tells @docMJP of Claremont's role in forging the men and women who will help restore America.
"The modern university—especially the Ivy League—is a machine built to erase the memory of the old world, not preserve it." Taking back the Ivy League starts with ambitious young men with vision. @lucca_ruggieri explains in his debut piece. americanmind.org/salvo/brotherh…
Important case to watch. Humphrey’s Delenda Est
1) Big news in the Humphrey's Executor world. Yesterday, the federal District Court for D.C. issued a permanent injunction mandating that Trump re-hire Rebecca Slaughter as an FTC Commissioner. Trump fired Slaughter without cause, in direct conflict with Humphrey's Executor (link…
NEW: After Prop. 209, UC San Diego transferred a race-based scholarship to a private nonprofit, the San Diego Foundation, so that it could continue the program. Now both entities are being sued under the KKK Act, which bans conspiracies to interfere with civil rights.🧵
Don’t defund NPR, people will literally die!
On the very same day that communities in Alaska turned to public radio and TV for tsunami warning updates, Republicans in Washington voted to take away funding for public broadcasting. It is senseless, cruel, and defies common sense.
I’m sure NPR’s self-understanding is in large part as Walter describes: ‘like Voice of [Blue] America, but for hicks.’ Hence a lot of the squawking from the Left about NPR being the only news radio out in the sticks.
This is telling. It suggests to me that NPR is partly a cultural influence operation aimed at the most conservative population in America, country people, w/ the hope of bringing them into the "bluer" urban & suburban consensus. Like a kind of Voice of America aimed at hicks.
"They don't mean to create higher living standards for those who are born and raised here... They mean to replace those people with people who will listen to their increasingly bizarre ethnic and religious appeals." @VP @JDVance on the destructive nature of the far left.
Jill Abramson, the former executive editor of the New York Times, describes the Free Beacon as a "potentially lethal weapon aimed at elite universities," writing that its "jihad" has "left blood on the floor at Harvard, Columbia, Stanford," and other top schools. High praise.
Our nation’s birthright citizenship laws have been abused for far too long. My bill will put an end to this and ensure that only the children of those who are here lawfully will be granted citizenship. cotton.senate.gov/news/press-rel…

How rare is it for employers to be prosecuted for hiring illegal immigrant workers? “There has not been a single year since 1986, when the Immigration Reform and Control Act took effect, that more than 25 people have been prosecuted under the statute.” commonplace.org/2025/07/14/mak…
Follow @ClaremontInst Lincoln alum Stephen Limbaugh’s journey. He’s a great American and a talented composer. Can’t wait for the final product!
Writing a symphony for America's 250th. Chapter 13. 2nd take from a recording! Section from the 3rd movement. (Pardon the cellphone audio.) There's nothing like working with great musicians.
One year ago today, a shot heard around the world, a bullet that came within a quarter of an inch from taking President Trump’s life, and a moment that shocked the nation. On this day, we’re reminded of the mysterious hand of Providence in the lives of men and the fate of…
Another @ClaremontInst Publius fellowship in the books. Arguments were had. Epstein mystery resolved. Good time was had by all. Thanks to all our friends and supporters for making our fellowships possible. And my thanks to our tireless program staff… 2 1/2 weeks nonstop!
Truly an indictment of how worthless public education and college has become that i learned more in 18 days at @ClaremontInst than I did in 16 years
Looking at State Department documents, it appears the department went from 57,340 total employees in 2007 to 72,895 in 2015 to 80,214 in 2024. So it grew by nearly 23,000 employees before the 'devastating' cut of 1,300.
“The youth on the left are not alright, and it’s rippling out into our politics and culture.” @ClaremontInsti President @@RpwWilliams' commentary on left-wing radicalism and increased violence across the country.
