“I have four main investment themes heading into 2026: geopolitics (“wars and rumors of war”), Artificial Intelligence and tech generally, the so-called “debasement trade,” and American Renaissance.”

HOW THE FIRST GENERATION OF ENGLISH SETTLERS SHAPED THE FUTURE OF A NATION
BY MICHAEL WILKERSON
T
The remarkable story of how the first generation of English settlers shaped the future of a nation and laid the foundation for the creation of the United States.
Who were the extraordinary men and women who founded the New England colonies, the spiritual and intellectual home of the future United States? Why did they risk everything to come to the New World, and what did they believe about the mission they were undertaking? Some came for gold and some for glory, but the surprising fact is that many came for love of God.
Why America Matters
THE CASE FOR A NEW EXCEPTIONALISM
BY MICHAEL WILKERSON
W
Who are we? Where are we going? And why are we so divided? Why America Matters addresses these questions and argues that the place Americans call home is worth fighting for. The widely held belief of past generations—that America is special, with an extraordinary role to play in the world—remains true, but has been undermined by external adversaries, internal contradictions, and weakness of vision.

OBSERVATIONS ON AMERICA IN PERIL
BY MICHAEL WILKERSON
HISTORY TAKES A LONG TIME TO ARRIVE SUDDENLY
A
America stands at a critical turning point in its history, where the gathering storm clouds of four distinct crises have formed and are converging to threaten the nation. A looming economic crisis, the COVID-19 pandemic, escalating conflicts in America’s great power rivalry with China, Iran and Russia, and rising social unrest within its own borders have combined into a potentially severe stormwall of risk for the United States. America’s adversaries are taking advantage of this state of crisis by further dividing society and diverting the attention of the nation’s elected leaders.
These forces have aligned dangerously around one particular event: the most contentious and divisive presidential election in modern history. Stormwall: Observations on America in Peril raises awareness of these four challenges and how they interact, forewarns of the potential threats that each pose, and suggests opportunities to overcome them as a nation. Turning points in history are rarely recognizable as they happen. America is in such a moment. History takes a long time to arrive suddenly. When it does, it comes as a storm cloud of unforeseen and unrecognizable dimensions.
