Hillsdale College is an independent institution of higher learning founded in 1844 by men and women “grateful to God for the inestimable blessings” resulting from civil and religious liberty and “believing that the diffusion of learning is essential to the perpetuity of these blessings.” It pursues the stated object of the founders: “to furnish all persons who wish, irrespective of nation, color, or sex, a literary, scientific, [and] theological education” outstanding among American colleges “and to combine with this such moral and social instruction as will best develop the minds and improve the hearts of its pupils.” As a nonsectarian Christian institution, Hillsdale College maintains “by precept and example” the immemorial teachings and practices of the Christian faith.
The College also considers itself a trustee of our Western philosophical and theological inheritance tracing to Athens and Jerusalem, a heritage finding its clearest expression in the American experiment of self-government under law.
By training the young in the liberal arts, Hillsdale College prepares students to become leaders worthy of that legacy. By encouraging the scholarship of its faculty, it contributes to the preservation of that legacy for future generations. By publicly defending that legacy, it enlists the aid of other friends of free civilization and thus secures the conditions of its own survival and independence.

I could listen to this man for hours. Such clarity of thought and vision.

Same. I have listened to him for hours today ... multiple interviews. Phenomenal depth in the Jordan Peterson 96min interview.

Exactly! I have been binge watching his videos the past week and am still hungry for more lol

Same here. Not a day I wouldn't try to find a new speech or interview of him!

[@blessnorthamerica7919]

He has abundant vocabularies yet he is logical and practical, which attracts ppl who hunger for intellectual stimulations, also dangerous if this set of skills betrayed the ppl . The extreme example is Germans , back then Germany while nation was convinced and worshiped his logics

[@TheWickedcoolmama]

He spoke over 35 min. without notes or teleprompter. Wow!

[@AceCriminalDefense]

That is because he believes what he says so does not need speaker aids and artifacts

[@brianclegg2602]

His speech does not change or waiver no matter where he is speaking. This is the way he feels and he tells you that.

[@autumnleaves2766]

This man is a breath of fresh air. Degrees in molecular biology and law, hedge fund manager who then set up a biotech business and an investment business, intelligent, hard-working, articulate, high moral values and he has a vision. An outstanding young candidate. If he cannot get the nomination for 2024, then he must try again in 2028 and 2032. He would run rings around the other candidates in debates. Let's hope he stays safe. America and the world face so many challenges now, this is the calibre of man that is needed to lead the western democracies (which of course aren't very democratic any more). Wishing him every success. From a fan in the UK.

[@chrislin2774]

He's a very good speaker. I get it. He's fighting for America's soul and identity. He diagnosed a lot of the partisan divisions correctly. There's an imbalance in our society where the binary thinking of Oppressor vs Oppressed permeates nearly every dialogue. I don't agree with all of his positions but I applaud his effort. There is a hunger for an outsider to shake things up in favor for the Common Citizen. Trump tried but didn't drain the swamp. He filled it with his own stooges. Culturally he won plenty hearts and minds but majority of Americans still live paycheck to paycheck and most have no emergency funds. Citizens continue to face bankruptcy when faced with a large medical bill. No Medicare4All. Scarcity prevails. Vivek's answer to deal with the erosion of our safety nets is "economic growth" and no increase in payroll taxes to keep it buoyant. Work, work, work, work-life balance be damned. When politicians don't want to deal with class issues, they engage in culture wars. Divide and conquer. I can't vote for Vivek for president. He's no FDR. Not even Henry Wallace. I can vote for Vivek for Senate or Representative. He would do better there than the White House.

[@gherieg.1091]

An Indian leading Britain. An Indian potentially president of the USA … h’m. The satanic Woke also work in mysterious ways, it seems. Why are there no dynamic white leaders arising, or on the horizon all of a sudden ? Don’t dismiss this, think. I’m black, btw. The Woke are the the endtime antichrist movement, the 666. And the ones they are most desirous of subduing are Christians … and white Christians are the most powerful, so they seem to be striking at their confidence through both blunt and finesse ways. This tearing up of non Caucasian prominents seem to be of the latter type. I’m pretty convinced of that. The Woke are not going to be defeated but by the Lord’s Second Coming. Prophecy states that. Wish you all the best 💚🙂

[@fntsmk]

One of the qualities I admire most in a person, and especially a person who is running for elected office, is being a GREAT speaker. Great speakers need no teleprompters, nor multiple pages of notes to read from. Great speakers need no cues from which to speak because they SPEAK FROM THE HEART. When you're speaking from the heart, the mind is not burdened with trying to remember what you're going to say, or what order to say it in. I get the impression that Vivek Ramaswamy is definitely speaking from his heart, and I think he is a GREAT speaker, and an absolute pleasure to watch and listen to. The last time I saw a speaker this effective, was (unfortunately) bill clinton, and before him, Ronald Reagan.Brilliant speech from a remarkably talented speaker. So far, Vivek Ramaswamy has my vote for POTUS 2024, hands down. An absolutely spot-on, brilliant speech. So far, Vivek Ramaswamy has my vote for POTUS 2024, hands down.

[@cpt.whiteknight]

The first time I've ever heard of him was on a podcast that I followed for 2 years (Valuetainment), about a month ago. After the episode was over I was utterly astounded by his visions and opinions. He was by far the SHARPEST guest I've watched on the pod and liked him very much. After his announcement to run for President this week, I bought a book that he wrote just to see how deep this guy can go, and so far he's the guy I'd vote next year (that is, if the dems can't bring anyone refreshing who can stand with the People instead being a donors and special interest groups' boy). America needs a total shakeup in its political systems, and we need someone like him to lead, not another bureaucratic lunatic who plays its citizens for fools.

Finally a courageous and intelligent candidate that can articulate with depth the importance of maintaining American Sovereignty. He pulls no punches in his opposition to globalists in both parties. He will raise the standard of political discussion and debate by leaps and bounds. The administrative state must be dismantled and simplified. Let's work together to get his voice heard and part the waters of the establishment to give this man a chance.

[@FrogOf4Chan]

Tim Pool had it right when he said Trump will be the nominee because the Republicans cannot survive if they don't nominate him, Vivek will get the Democrat treatment from the Don, I like Vivek more than Trump tbh but I know that Trump will be on the ballot period.

They all start off with wonderful words, like obama,

[@scottnickerson3918]

@@lorismith2354 you have zero discernment if you can't tell the difference between Vivek and Obama. Obama used slogans that he never explained, thereby obfuscating his intent. Vivek explains in great depth what he means. He uses the history of the ideas that America was founded upon. Obama hated those ideas and wanted to replace them with neo-Marxist ideas. Don't believe me? Go study it for yourself. Enjoy!

Oh, wow...this wouldn't go over in all but a handful of universities in America these days.

It depends upon how bad things get for each individual in the coming years. It will be an interesting decade to come no doubt.

[@paigemccormick6519]

I agree that the individual is the best single definition of sovereignty, but the "unum-ness" of common principles and culture carries a nation. So, I don't think we can depend solely on each individual. We need broad inclusion (the old, liberal kind; not the new woke kind) to make a nation as provided in the constitution. It may be the individuals who seek the "liberation" from national and social constraints, such as lawfulness and responsibility, who currently have the "authority," but I find their bent for constitutional destruction to be emotional, mob-like, and ignorant of the consequences.

[@jaytughy8883]

Vivek's commitment to eliminate the Department of Education and to look closely at a laundry list of other things the federal government does with a goal of eliminating many of them caused this thought to enter my head: As he fleshes out these ideas during his campaign, I would like for him to write another book. He has the solid credentials to write a book that covers in great detail everything the federal government does that is not authorized in the Constitution. If anyone has already written such a book, I have not been able to find it. If that book gets written, I will buy it and make gifts of it to my friends and family. Furthermore, if wishing could make it so, then high schoolers would have to master this book in order to graduate.

The perfect winning team ticket is: Trump for President and Vivek Ramaswamy for Vice President.

I hope he runs and publishes a thorough platform. A lot of great insights. His insight around Blackrock's (and other financial service firms) relationship with the Congress and the CCP...is what Americans need to hear and understand. His explanation of ESG must be heard. E Plubis Unum...doesn't mean diversity is great, period. It means diverse backgrounds embracing merit based culture; diversity in thought rather than cultural behavior; endeavoring for excellence. In fact, I worry that the GOP ole boy network won't let him in. Too much clarity, too hurtful of Washington biz-as-usual, how Congress members exit far richer than when the entered. Let's hope the GOP will give him a chance!?

@Google Sucks Ass can you define what white supremacists is?

[@timber-rider]

@Google Sucks Ass no, it doesn't. Some people, like those of the Klu Klux Clan recognize themselves as white supremacists. Others are simply racists. Others are labeled white supremacists because of political disagreement. And, that is just the beginning of it. So, if you could define it, then we could narrow down.

You’re crazy if you think real Americans will vote for this guy. No way. I can’t see this guy being my our president.
