Quand un record du monde tombe, il retombe presque toujours dans les 12 à 24 mois qui suivent. Ce simple fait statistique explique pourquoi Elon Musk, en devenant trillionnaire, est en train de créer un anticorps au bullshit ambiant et à l'empire du mensonge. Laissez-moi vous expliquer. Le record du 100 mètres a stagné pendant des années, puis Bob Hayes passe sous les 10 secondes en 1964, et soudain tout le monde y arrive. Le mile en moins de 4 minutes était considéré comme physiologiquement impossible. Bannister le fait en 1954. Deux mois plus tard, Landy le bat. Aujourd'hui, des lycéens le font. Pourquoi ? Parce que les records ne sont pas des limites physiques. Ce sont des limites mentales. Le record ne dit pas "voici ce qui est possible", il dit "voici ce que quelqu'un a osé croire possible". Et une fois que quelqu'un l'a fait, le désir devient mimétique. Des milliers d'esprits se réorganisent instantanément autour de la nouvelle référence. Elon Musk vient de devenir le premier trillionnaire de l'histoire. Et tout le monde regarde le chiffre. Personne ne regarde ce que ce chiffre vient de faire dans la tête de chaque milliardaire de la planète. Hier, "milliardaire" était le sommet du jeu. Aujourd'hui, c'est le camp de base. Il y a environ 3000 milliardaires sur Terre qui viennent de se réveiller avec une seule question en tête : comment je deviens trillionnaire ? Et c'est là que ça devient magnifique. Parce que la réponse à cette question n'a rien à voir avec les méthodes qui ont fait les fortunes du 20ème siècle. Tu ne deviens pas trillionnaire avec des montages financiers. Tu ne deviens pas trillionnaire en capturant un régulateur. Tu ne deviens pas trillionnaire en finançant des ONG qui fabriquent les problèmes que tu prétends résoudre. Ces méthodes plafonnent. Elles extraient de la valeur d'un gâteau fixe, et un gâteau fixe ne produit pas de trillion. Pour devenir trillionnaire, il n'existe qu'un seul chemin, et Elon vient de le tracer : Être pro-humain. Le trillion vient de produits que des milliards de gens veulent vraiment. Pas de subventions, pas de rentes, pas de captation. De la demande réelle, à l'échelle de l'espèce. Être contre le contrôle. Chaque couche de contrôle est une taxe sur la vitesse d'exécution. Les empires de connivence sont lents par construction, parce qu'ils dépendent de la permission. Le trillion appartient à ceux qui construisent plus vite que la bureaucratie ne peut interdire. Être expansionniste. Le trillion n'existe pas dans un monde à somme nulle. Il exige de créer des marchés qui n'existaient pas : l'orbite, l'énergie abondante, l'intelligence artificielle, la robotique généraliste. Il faut agrandir le terrain de jeu, pas redistribuer les miettes. Et voici le détail que presque personne n'a vu : pour suivre ce chemin, la plupart devront construire au-dessus de l'infrastructure d'Elon. Starlink, les lanceurs, le compute, l'énergie. Il n'a pas seulement battu le record. Il a privatisé la piste d'athlétisme et il vend des tickets d'entrée à tous ceux qui veulent courir. La conséquence systémique est énorme : Elon est en train de détoxifier la richesse. Pendant des décennies, le capitalisme de connivence et le capitalisme de corruption étaient les voies royales vers l'extrême fortune. Lobbying, capture réglementaire, philanthropie stratégique qui achète le silence. Devenir ultra-riche était devenu suspect, parce que c'était souvent suspect. L'empire du mensonge prospérait précisément parce que mentir était plus rentable que construire. Le standard trillionnaire rend ces méthodes obsolètes. Non pas par la morale, mais par les mathématiques. La corruption rapporte des milliards. Seule la création rapporte des trillions. L'incitation la plus puissante de l'histoire du capitalisme vient de basculer du côté des bâtisseurs. C'est ça, l'anticorps. Il ne nécessite ni loi, ni régulateur, ni révolution. Juste un homme qui a couru plus vite et qui a montré le temps sur le chrono. Bannister n'a pas seulement battu un record. Il a libéré tous les coureurs qui venaient après lui. Dans les 24 prochains mois, regardez les milliardaires de la planète réallouer leur capital vers l'espace, l'énergie, l'IA, la robotique. Pas par vertu. Par mimétisme. Le désir de l'homme le plus riche du monde devient le désir de tous ceux qui veulent le devenir. Je n'ai jamais été aussi optimiste de toute ma vie.

Oh, silly rabbit - the reason you won't have any of those things isn't because of the system. It's because you're a quitter.

This response by Thomas Massie gives the entire game away, and is the calling card of "Israel"-obsessed conspiracy theorists everywhere. First, he said “These men deserve to be thanked and remembered”, even though @DanCrenshawTX said nothing to imply that these men do not deserve to be thanked or remembered. Classic straw-man that paints anyone who disagrees with him as somehow anti-American. Second, he said "Which part of my post do you find objectionable." This part is more subtle but even more important. When "Israel"-obsessed conspiracy theorists talk endlessly about Israel/Jews, they love to pretend like their interest is a) in good faith, and b) in isolation to their ongoing obsession. The issue is not talking about/caring about/being interested in U.S.S. Liberty — I've had students ask me about it during speeches on multiple occasions, and I've never argued that they're anti-Semites simply because they are interested in something they've heard about online. No, the issue is WHY the person is focusing on the U.S.S. Liberty, and in the context of what other behavior. If you talk about how evil Israel is, how Israel controls everything, and how Israel is dragging the U.S. into war, AND THEN you talk about the U.S.S. Liberty, it's perfectly reasonable to question your motive. Since there are (unfortunately) many other examples of deadly friendly-fire incidents during U.S.-involved conflict, why isn’t Massie calling for an investigation into them too? Does he not think those men also need to be thanked and remembered?! See how that works?

I love to read. But before I buy a book now, I am forced to research the author. I want to understand the filter through which they see the world. It's hard to buy a book these days.

Hollywood has spent nearly $600 million trying to bring Matt Damon home. Have they considered maybe he just doesn’t want to come back?

On June 6, 1944, a 56-year-old general with a secret walked onto Utah Beach under fire, armed with a cane and a pistol. The secret: his heart was failing. He had hidden it from the army doctors so they wouldn't pull him from the mission. His name was Theodore Roosevelt Jr. Son of the President. He had begged three separate times to lead the first wave ashore at Normandy before his commanders finally said yes. When his landing craft drifted 2,000 yards off course, every instinct said redirect the following waves to the correct zone. Instead, Roosevelt walked the beach himself, alone, under artillery fire, cane in hand, reading the terrain. His verdict: "We'll start the war from right here." He then stood on that beach and personally greeted every regiment that landed after him, pointing them inland, cracking jokes under shellfire, steadying 18-year-olds who had never seen combat. He did this for hours. Years later, Omar Bradley was asked to name the single most heroic act he had ever witnessed in combat. His answer, without hesitation: "Ted Roosevelt on Utah Beach." Roosevelt's son, Captain Quentin Roosevelt II, also landed at Normandy that same morning. He was named after his uncle, Quentin Roosevelt, who had been shot down as a fighter pilot over France in World War I. Three generations. Three wars. One family. Theodore Roosevelt Jr. died in his sleep 36 days later. Heart attack. The thing he had been hiding finally won. He never learned he had been awarded the Medal of Honor. He was buried at the Normandy American Cemetery. In 1955, his family had his brother Quentin, killed in WWI, exhumed from where he fell in France and reinterred right beside him. Quentin is the only World War I soldier buried there. Two brothers. Two world wars. The same French soil. Their father had once said: "Do what you can, with what you have, where you are." Both of his sons did exactly that.

People used to say Donald Trump was a poor person’s idea of a rich person. Graham Platner is a rich person’s idea of a poor person.

🗳️ Many have been asking me describe the potential signature verification loophole for Los Angeles mail in ballots. It says: “If a voter is unable to sign, the voter can make a mark witnessed by one person.” Here, the person drew a happy face & “witnessed” it with a scribble. That scribble isn’t validated as being a real person. No name, nothing. While a happy face may draw scrutiny, a plain line would not. This could hypothetically enable mass harvesting where the voter never fills out, signs or even sees their own ballot. We should be told how many ballots show up without the voter’s signature.

Making America Beautiful Again!!!😎🇺🇸🔥

The Media Only Loves Us When We’re Dead: Part II I’m not done with this "reporter" yet. And I won’t stay silent while the media drags warfighters who bled for this nation and are now trying to make it better. I’ll be honest, I’m ashamed I didn’t look deeper into the story of @SeanParnellUSA sooner. The GWOT cuts too close to my own scars, so I looked away from the broader history. But not anymore. Media scrutiny isn’t new. Even George Washington was mocked in print. But the latest attacks on Sean Parnell say far more about the press than they do about him. So pause and remember where you were on June 10, 2006. 1. The most popular song was Hips Don’t Lie. 2. The top movie was Cars. 3. And Sean Parnell was leading 39 men through a mountain ambush by over 250 enemy fighters. He was wounded three times, and stayed in the fight. By the end of that deployment, 85% of his platoon had been wounded. Funny how you only get one Purple Heart for taking three hits in one battle, but a thousand paper cuts from the press for doing nothing wrong. So let me get this straight: guys like him are good enough to fight your wars, bury their friends, and carry the silence of it all for the rest of their lives, but not good enough to help fix the institutions that failed them? Who better than them? You think you're criticizing one man. But behind every name you recognize is a platoon’s worth of warriors you never will. Quiet. Steady. Carrying the same resolve that got them all home. And whether you realize it or not, the hopes of a generation of warfighters rest quietly on his and @PeteHegseth's shoulders. You forget: the fire that forged these men didn’t burn them up, it tempered them. And here’s the part you never seem to learn: If you keep mocking the warriors who came home and tried to lead, don’t act surprised when fewer of them show up next time. Why would they? Or maybe that’s the media's goal? But it won't work. Because in this country, it seems the only time the media honors them... is when they’re coming home in a box draped in the American Flag. ***Please share this widely to counter the harmful "media" narratives that exist to malign warfighters who bled in battle and are trying to make a difference.***

D.C. area resident reacts to the Columbus fountain reopening at Union Station: “It’s so blue! And it’s bouncing off the white marble. I’ve never seen the marble this clean before!” “Breathtaking!” Trump is showing the entire country that we don’t have to accept filth.
