Populist Conservatism and Constitutional Order
by Kevin D. Roberts on November 12, 2024 at 3:59 PM
American conservatism exists to serve the people and the nation through the Constitution. This includes defending them against enemies foreign and domestic. And the fact is, elite institutions have become the people’s and the nation’s enemies. They are openly waging cultural war on those they ostensibly serve. They cannot be negotiated with or accommodated. They must be defunded, disbanded, and disempowered. The rewards for doing so—for putting American families first again—will be greater than we can know. The post Populist Conservatism and Constitutional Order appeared first on Imprimis.

How do we regain control over the ATF and other federal law enforcement agencies?

The American people must demand that Congress either reassert its authority over these agencies or else abolish them and start anew.

Sports Should Unify, Not Divide Us
by Clay Travis on May 20, 2024 at 8:04 PM
I love sports. One of the main reasons I love it is that it celebrates and rewards achievement, not failure. Sports is the ultimate meritocracy. The best man or woman or team wins—at least until recently. The post Sports Should Unify, Not Divide Us appeared first on Imprimis.
