“America First is not complicated. It is the simple declaration that this country belongs to its own people, that American workers deserve priority in their own economy, and that our government exists to serve our citizens before it serves the world”
Happy Easter
"But now the Sun of Righteousness which set in so much obscurity, arises with light and splendor.
For the Earth being not able to detain his body, nor hell his soul, they both after a determinate time, are reunited, and constitute the same complete man & person that he was before.
Our Savior's resurrection is the great and fundamental article of the Christian religion."
— Edward Bass (Harvard A.B. 1744), Easter Sermon (1759)
On Housing Day, freshmen are assigned to a House where they live until graduation. Since 2009, Houses have produced videos to promote their community as part of the event.
To celebrate the history of Housing Day, here is a clip from Mather House in 2026 and some housing footage from 1951.

Tonight we were happy to host @RealTheoWold from @PalantirTech for a discussion on the West in the aftermath of 2006.
It is up to our generation to find the narrow path forward.
An interesting 21st century project: play Aristotle and collect various systems of law in all domains. Much to be learned from the joint-stock company! Distill to a charter with ready to deploy law. A model penal code for the private polity.
The movement for freedom cities, SEZs, digital nations, etc. is directionally great. Most iterations unfortunately seem too weak to resist the inevitable encroachment of those granting them title and absolutely disinterested in the question of governing a stable polity seriously.
“For we must consider that we shall be as a city upon a hill. The eyes of all people are upon us.”
John Winthrop's vision of America as a "city upon a hill" placed the gospel at the moral core of colonial America.
Harvard is removing his name at a "ceremony" today. What a joke.
The Landmark Book series. A project of the 50s - 70s that taught the great figures and efforts of America and the West to young readers. Beyond passing down our heritage, it inspired many to become historians.
A cultural project worth revitalizing today.
BREAKING: The U.S. Department of Justice announced a new lawsuit against Harvard University, alleging that the Ivy League institution illegally withheld admissions material needed to decide whether the school is continuing to discriminate in the admissions process despite a 2023 Supreme Court ruling.
"There are who triumph in a losing cause,
Who can put on defeat, as't were a wreath
Unwithering in the adverse popular breath,
Safe from the blasting demagogue's applause;
'T is they who stand for Freedom and God's laws."
Attached is a relief of John G. Palfrey, bearing the first stanza of a poem dedicated to him by James Russell Lowell.
The work hangs in Annenberg Hall at Harvard and was a welcome reminder to stand for high truths, not democratic favor or fervor.
Over a century later, Churchill's beautiful "Mass Effects in Modern Life" encapsulates the feeling of being young and on the Right.
Seems we're due to be off the plateau soon.

First and foremost, Harvard is an American institution. Yet, since the early 2000s, foreign enrollment has roughly doubled to 6,749 students. China and India top the charts according to the university’s own website called “One Harvard, One World.”
