As Jews gather to fast and pray, the rest of the nation might pause and learn. Imagine if each of us confessed one fault, forgave one grievance, and renewed one commitment to better behavior. Our families would be stronger, our communities more resilient, and our civic life more humane.

Beatrice Prince (‘28): I met Charlie Kirk this summer outside the White House while I was interning for Senator Tom Cotton. I had followed him for nearly ten years, but that day he became real to me.

On Wednesday, Charlie Kirk was assassinated on the campus of Utah Valley University. He was murdered while engaging in good-faith dialogue with college students – the proper, tried-and-true way of practicing politics in a republic. He leaves behind a widowed wife and two young children. His death is a tragedy for his family and the [...] The post Statement on the Assassination of Charlie Kirk first appeared on The Princeton Tory.| The Princeton Tory
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 gr...| Imprimis

Earlier this year, I published an article sharply criticizing white nationalism, neo-Nazism, and the resurgence of paleoconservatism within the Republican Party. In retrospect, I made a significant rookie error: I conflated paleoconservatism with the fringe ideologies of white nationalism and neo-Nazism. This mischaracterization stemmed from a shallow understanding of paleoconservatism, which I had not yet [...] The post A Realignment of the Right first appeared on The Princeton Tory.| The Princeton Tory
