Kevin’s connections to the Catholic church are suspicious. The Heritage Foundation employs abortion to defund Obamacare. Paul Weyrich employed abortion to weaken the Civil Rights Movement. The Catholic Church traditionally helped the poor. How stupid can you be to root a new American Revolutions in a religion – and Catholicism! I’m going to author a chapter in The Royal Janitor..
Starfish Goes To Catholic College
After winning the 400 meter hurdles at the Olympic Trials in Eugene Oregon, Starfish regretted she had never gong to college. Having lunch at the Bum’s Rush Cafe, she heard two young people talking about the hike they took at the Wyoming Catholic College.

Here lies the hoarded love the key
To All the treasure that shall be
Come fated heart the gift to take
And smite the sleeping world awake.”

Kevin D. Roberts (born June 24, 1974) is the president of The Heritage Foundation, a conservative political think tank, and its lobbying arm, Heritage Action. Prior to assuming his current role, he was the CEO of another conservative think tank, the Texas Public Policy Foundation.[1] Roberts served as the president of Wyoming Catholic College from 2013 to 2016.[2][3]
Soon after Roberts joined Heritage in December 2021, the organization established Project 2025, an expansive plan to reshape the United States federal government and consolidate executive power should the Republican Party candidate win the 2024 presidential election.[4]
Early life and education[edit]
Roberts was born in 1974 in Lafayette, Louisiana to James A. Roberts, Sr. and Susan P. Rabalais.[5] He graduated from Lafayette High School in 1992, earned a bachelor’s degree in history magna cum laude from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette in 1996, earned a Master of Arts in history from Virginia Tech in 1999, and earned a Ph.D. in American history from University of Texas at Austin in 2003.[1][5]
Career[edit]
Wyoming Catholic College[edit]
Roberts served as president of Wyoming Catholic College from 2013 to 2016 when he accepted his position as executive vice president of the Texas Public Policy Foundation.
During his tenure as president of Wyoming Catholic College, Roberts led the institution to an outright rejection of Title IV federal student loans and grants, citing religious liberty concerns.[6] The decision made the college one of just a few colleges in the nation to reject such funding. In an article on the decision, The New York Times described Roberts and his students as “cowboy Catholics” for their independence.[7]
Heritage Foundation[edit]
In October 2021, it was announced that Roberts had been selected to replace Kay Coles James as president of The Heritage Foundation.[8][9]
In September 2023, Roberts was selected as president of Heritage Action, the lobbying arm of The Heritage Foundation, after the executive director, Jessica Anderson, took a leave of absence in July 2023.[10][11] Roberts “serves both organizations in a joint role.”[12]
In January 2024, Roberts said that he did not believe that Joe Biden won the 2020 presidential election. He also said that he saw Heritage’s role as “institutionalizing Trumpism,” adding “the Trump administration, with the best of intentions, simply got a slow start. And Heritage and our allies in Project 2025 believe that must never be repeated.”[13]
When asked during a June 2024 interview if Heritage would accept the results of the 2024 presidential election regardless of its outcome, Roberts replied, “yes, if there isn’t massive fraud like there was in 2020.” Despite the persistence of an election denial movement, no evidence of material election fraud in 2020 was found. When presented with data from the Heritage election fraud database indicating there were just 1,513 proven instances of voter fraud in the United States since 1982, Roberts responded that fraud is “very hard to document, and the Democrat party is very good at fraud.”[14][15] Roberts also asserted that liberals “are supporting legislation that abortion can happen until three days after the person’s born.”[16][17]
Appearing on Steve Bannon‘s War Room podcast in July 2024 to be interviewed by former Congressman Dave Brat, Roberts said: “Let me speak about the radical left. You and I have both been parts of faculties and faculty senates, and understand that the left has taken over our institutions […] In spite of all this nonsense from the left, we are going to win. We’re in the process of taking this country back … our side is winning.”[18][19] “We ought to be really encouraged by what happened yesterday”, said Roberts, in reference to the Supreme Court deciding in former President Donald Trump’s case that presidents have significant immunity against being prosecuted for actions in office.[19][20] Roberts further declared: “We are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be”.[20]

Wyoming Catholic College (WCC) is a private Catholic college in Lander, Wyoming.[1] WCC is the only Catholic college or university in the state. It is notable for its extensive outdoor education program, requiring all freshmen students to complete a 21-day backpacking trip, and engage in other outdoor activities while studying a great-books academic curriculum.
History[edit]
In 2003, then-bishop of Wyoming David Ricken expressed interest in having a Catholic college in Wyoming. Together with a parish priest of the Diocese of Cheyenne, Robert Cook, and Robert Carlson, a Wyoming college professor and a former student of John Senior,[2] the bishop began forming plans to found the college. In 2004 and 2005, Lander Wyoming was selected as the location, and Carlson wrote the philosophical vision statement of the college. On July 11, 2005, Wyoming Catholic College incorporated in the state of Wyoming with Cook as president and Carlson as academic dean.[3]
Accreditation and federal funding[edit]
In 2014, the college became a candidate for accreditation by the Higher Learning Commission (HLC). During this time, the college’s leadership decided to forgo access to federal funding.[4] According to Inside Higher Ed, this decision was “partly out of concerns that accepting the funds could impair its ability to set its own policies around issues of sexual orientation and gender identity,”[5] and as of 2023, the college’s website described this decision as being largely motivated by a concern that accepting this funding would allow the government to impose on the college’s hiring and admission policies, such as birth control and same-sex marriage.[6][7] In an interview with Wyoming Public Radio, college president Kevin Roberts clarified that the college was specifically concerned about harassment from outside special interest groups, particularly with regards to Title IX policies for single-gender housing and restroom facilities.[8] Roberts was also a notable opponent to the Affordable Care Act, suing the state of Wyoming over implementing the program.[9]
WCC achieved full accreditation status from HLC in 2018.[4] During the COVID-19 pandemic, WCC received $1.3 million in aid, including a $739,000 PPP loan, which has been forgiven.[10]
2021 firing of CFO[edit]
In 2020 Paul McCown, a former Michigan politician and the school’s chief financial officer (CFO) of two years, launched the distillery Sweetwater Spirits,[11] which switched to producing hand sanitizer at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. In early 2021 he used claims of wealth from this business to secure a $15 million loan from investment firm Ria R Squared, before anonymously donating two-thirds of those funds to the college. McCown also received $2 million in federally backed PPP loans, and was fired by the school in June of 2021 when his fraudulent activity was discovered. A subsequent internal investigation led to the dismissal of the school’s director of horsemanship because of payments made with McCown’s approval.[10][12][13] Although plans for expansion utilizing the $10 million donation were underway, WCC’s President Arbery stated that “the setback to the college’s expansion plans did not pose an actual threat to the institution’s financial stability”.[14] Wyoming Catholic College initially stated that it would return the entire sum to Ria R Squared once it completed an internal investigation into the alleged fraud.[15] On December 6, 2021, Ria R Squared sued Wyoming Catholic College, alleging that the college had not yet returned a portion of that sum (totaling $239,154), and that the college’s counsel had told Ria R Squared that it no longer intended to return the sum.[16]
Presidents[edit]
- 2007–2013: Robert Cook
- 2013–2016: Kevin Roberts
- 2016–2023: Glenn Arbery
- 2023–present: Kyle Washut
Campus locations[edit]
The college is located in an area within the Rocky Mountains, in the town of Lander, Wyoming. The college campus consists of multiple facilities around the town of Lander, mostly in the downtown area.[17]
Downtown Campus[edit]
The Downtown Campus comprises several historic buildings of downtown Lander, including:
- The Baldwin Building (main reception, offices, classrooms, library, student lounge, and Crux Coffee)
- Orchard Building (offices, classrooms, library)
- Augur Building (classrooms, study area and lounge, Chesterton Library)[18]
- St Joseph’s Hall (headquarters of COR Expeditions)
- Immaculate Conception Oratory (Catholic chapel)
- Frassati Hall (hosting the main dining facility)
Holy Rosary facilities[edit]
Located on the property of the diocesan parish of Holy Rosary in Lander, this “campus” includes a number of the residence halls. The college occasionally uses the parish church for special occasions, like graduation. In the first years of the college, some of the parish facilities were used as classrooms.
Other facilities[edit]
Additional facilities of the college include the Horse Barn (hosting the college’s horsemanship program) located several miles outside of Lander, and residence halls converted from a Holiday Lodge Hotel[19] near the north-east edge of Lander.
Academics[edit]
Because it offers a four-year, integrated, Great Books curriculum, Wyoming Catholic College has no majors, minors, specialized degrees or graduate programs; it awards graduating students the degree of Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Arts.[20] As of Fall 2021, there were over 190 students enrolled.
In the spring of 2016, Wyoming Catholic College became the second college in the nation to accept the Classic Learning Test (CLT) as an alternative to the SAT and ACT for college admissions. The college is also recommended by The Newman Guide to Choosing a Catholic College, and its curriculum has received an “A” rating from American Council of Trustees and Alumni.[21]
The curriculum was designed to give students a general liberal arts education through a study of the Great Books. Courses include Humanities, Theology, Philosophy, Math/Science, Fine Arts, Latin, Trivium, and Leadership.[22]
Faculty[edit]
Notable former Wyoming Catholic professors include traditionalist author and speaker Peter Kwasniewski.
Accreditation[edit]
WCC is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission.[23]
Outdoors[edit]
Along with its liberal arts classroom program, Wyoming Catholic College provides all students with a series of experientially-based outdoor leadership expeditions taught through what it calls the Outdoor Leadership Program (OLP). Freshmen begin their four-year educational journey with a three-week backpacking trip in the Rocky Mountains, which the college considers “the most unusual and meaningful orientation program in the country”. Every year, students participate in at least two separate “outdoor weeks” or short courses in outdoors skills held over spring and fall break. Courses have been held in backpacking, canoeing or sea kayaking, canyoneering, fishing, horse packing, ice climbing, mountain biking, mountaineering, rock climbing, skiing, and whitewater rafting and kayaking. All students also participate in the equestrian program,[24] are certified in Wilderness First Aid, and have the opportunity to pursue certification as Wilderness First Responders.[25]
