@DrJohnHillen: The Arsenal of Democracy Speech “was a speech—a 'fireside chat'—about factories and shipyards, but also about geography, power, and the limits of distance in a shrinking world.”

A must read from @DrJohnHillen “Ronald Reagan, in his first inaugural address, named the secret of American power: “We are a nation that has a government, not the other way around. And this makes us special among the nations of the Earth.” On the republic’s 250th birthday, that is worth celebrating: not the government that governs us, but the restless, inventive, association-forming energy of the American people themselves.” @ReaganInstitute

George Washington said: “If we desire to secure peace,...it must be known, that we are at all times ready for war.”
The next president must manage our relations with China from a position of renewed American strength. | @DrJohnHillen

The next president must be clear-eyed about the expansionist, authoritarian, and repressive nature of the Chinese Communist regime.
Opposing its bad faith and aggression will require unquestioned US resolve. | @DrJohnHillen

My thoughts on how to remember Pearl Harbor Day and its strategic relevance.
Visited Pearl with the @duke_ags program on a "staff ride" last spring.
"Best of Frenemies" - a talk I gave at @HSC1776 sponsored by their excellent @hamiltonsoc chapter. Based on an essay I did for the @ReaganInstitute from a conference of theirs over the summer with a few dozen terrific policy minds.

Happy #ConstitutionDay In my role as Visiting Professor of Leadership at @HSC1776, I decided to give over 100 of our leadership fellows a book. A venerable classic about the constitutional convention 235 years ago. https://t.co/S78icaUO9F
@CAHutch1990 Thanks Chris. If I recall correctly, the assignment was to spell out the preamble to the constitution in the lawn…😂. Hope all is well and congratulations on your book. I have a son in Blacksburg at Va Tech there.
Though the quality of leadership within our institutions is crucially important, the quality of the institutions themselves is equally so. @DrJohnHillen explains: https://t.co/eiFYeeEojI
We need to hold institutional leaders accountable not only for their narrow measurements of success, but also for the metrics of trust in their institutions that have fallen so far and so fast over the past generation. https://t.co/eiFYeeVZIi
Happy 30th anniversary of the Battle of the 73 Easting to my fellow 2nd Cav troopers. Especially my crew on Cougar Forward (pictured in the battle) and the men of 2nd Squadron. What courage and skill! #FinestTraditionsOfTheService RIP Sergeant Nels Moller.
Wondering where American foreign policy goes from here? If you missed our discussion with @DrJohnHillen, @johngansjr, and @DrJohnNagl yesterday, check it out on our YouTube Channel!
