Commentary and debate explaining the ideas currently driving American political life. A publication of @Claremontinst.
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…
“We are a settler nation—dynamic, restless, reaching into infinite space. Since the first pilgrim ships arrived on our shores, we Americans have been possessed by an insatiable urge to create, to build, and to discover—to step forward into the dark unknown”
"A peaceful and prosperous future will not come from factories in China, but from those here in our hemisphere. America, our friends, and our allies must refocus on our own production and our own people." @MikeNeedham's vision to industrialize for a new American century.
Had a great time joining @SpencerKlavan on his podcast. We chatted about the Colbert cancellation, Superman, and what might be the most important film of the year—Eddington. Give it a listen and support Spencer. He’s sharp, kind, and a fun hang. youtube.com/watch?v=TWFZrs…

"Mark Twain may have been forced to absquatulate from Virginia City in shame, but he remembered his years in the Comstock as 'the most vigorous enjoyment of life I had ever experienced.'" CRB Editor Chris Flannery and Associate Editor @SpencerKlavan discuss the unique impact…
Trump’s presidency proves the impossible is possible: secured borders, defiance of woke elites, and a nuclear freeze on Iran, without starting another “endless war.” @ClaremontInst Senior Fellow Daniel Mahoney's latest reflects on ten years of Trump. americanmind.org/features/donal…
"They broke their oaths, exceeded their authority, ignored the constitution, and investigated, harassed, and sought to prosecute Trump and his team for opposition to the deepstate." Kenin Spivak's latest lays bare the bad news for Obama and his team. americanmind.org/salvo/exposing…
