Vivek Ramaswami has been traveling New Hampshire as he seeks the nomination in the First in the Nation Republican primary. His message is definitely getting some interest in conservative circles.

“The Second Amendment is what made the Bill of Rights an American reality, not just an American dream.“

“The same cities that want to “clear the jails,” “defund the police,” and stop arresting violent criminals are the *same* cities that want to take away guns from law-abiding citizens. That’s a formula for the disintegration of a nation.”

Vivek

Vivek is an American entrepreneur, political and cultural thought leader, and New York Times bestselling author of Woke, Inc.: Inside Corporate America’s Social Justice Scam, along with his second book, Nation of Victims: Identity Politics, the Death of Merit, and the Path Back to Excellence.

He has been a prominent and outspoken critic against ESG, discriminatory practices under the guise of critical race theory, and of what he calls “government-tech censorship,” where the government colludes with big tech to do through the backdoor what it couldn’t do through the front door under the Constitution.

Vivek is a first-generation American. Growing up in the Cincinnati area, he often recounts the sage advice he received from his father that “If you’re going to stand out, then you might as well be outstanding.” This advice set the course for his life: an accomplished pianist, a nationally ranked tennis player, and the valedictorian of his Jesuit high school. He went on to graduate summa cum laude in Biology from Harvard in 2007 and received his J.D. degree from Yale Law School in 2013, worked at a hedge fund, then started a pharmaceutical company, Roivant Sciences, where his team developed five drugs that went on to become FDA-approved.

In 2022, he founded Strive Asset Management, an Ohio-based firm, that takes direct aim at asset managers like BlackRock, State Street, Vanguard and others for their fiduciary breach of duty to maximize the wealth of their clients for Wokeism. Strive’s mission is to restore the voices of everyday citizens in the American economy by leading companies to focus on excellence over politics.

_{The Bastion is well situated here in New Hampshire and pretty much has a front-row seat to our long standing First in the Nation Primary. The season has officially begun and the candidates are starting to line up. We plan on bringing as much information as comes our way to present to you, our readers. Keep in mind that as we share materials and reports, we are not anywhere close to endorsing a particular candidate over another. The Bastion Beavers are a diverse group, and we will most likely have our individual favorites that may not line up with one another. This will not prevent us from covering any candidate that comes our way.}
