🎯 “…all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights…to secure these rights, governments are instituted…” - Declaration of Independence 🇺🇸
The Constitution does not give you rights. You already have them. The Constitution simply tells the government that it cannot take those rights away. I wish more people understood this.

Bringing a live elephant into the Texas GOP Convention is fine, but to be truly representative of our legislature they’d need a rhinoceros too

Milton Friedman: “I am not a conservative. I’ve never been a conservative. Hayek was not a conservative.” “We are liberals in the true meaning of that term: concerned with freedom. We are not liberals in the current distorted sense—those liberal with other people’s money.”

Poll question: what are your thoughts on the current state of the Republican Party in Texas “The party pollutes its brand by allowing money/power grabbers who have contempt for the platform (if they even know it exists) to run using the party’s name. The party must expel these swamp rats. Let them run as Dems or whatever other party fits”

“The failure didn't register as failure. It registered as data.” I’m trying to teach myself this
Elon Musk's first wife once described what it's like to watch him fail. She said he doesn't react the way normal people react. When a rocket explodes, most people in the room go silent. Some cry. Some start calculating the financial damage. Musk pulls out his phone and starts making calls. Not emotional calls. Engineering calls. "What failed. When can we fix it. When's the next launch." His voice doesn't change. His face doesn't change. The rocket that just cost $60 million is already in the past. The next one is all that exists. She said it was the most unsettling thing she'd ever witnessed. Not because he was cold. Because he genuinely wasn't affected. The failure didn't register as failure. It registered as data. An experiment that produced results. Results that inform the next experiment. This is why he wins. Not because he doesn't fail. He fails more spectacularly than anyone in history. He wins because failure occupies zero psychological space. It enters as data and exits as action. Most people lose not because they fail but because they spend weeks processing the failure before acting again. Musk spends zero seconds. The gap between failure and next attempt is a phone call.

“Compassion without results—that's called vanity” 🎯
Gilles, je vais démonter ta prémisse de départ, parce que tout le reste de ton argument s'effondre avec elle. Tu pars du principe qu'il faut une « sensibilité de gauche » pour ne pas laisser créver les gens de faim. C'est l'inverse total de ce que dit l'histoire économique des 50 dernières années. Les chiffres bruts. 1990 : 2,3 milliards de personnes en pauvreté extrême. 38% de l'humanité. 2025 : 831 millions. Environ 10%. 1,5 milliard d'êtres humains sortis de la misère absolue en 35 ans. La plus grande réduction de souffrance humaine de toute l'histoire de l'espèce. Qui a fait ça ? Pas l'aide internationale. Pas les ONG. Pas les programmes de redistribution. Pas la « sensibilité de gauche ». Le marché. L'ouverture commerciale. La Chine de Deng en 1978 qui abandonne le maoisme. L'Inde en 1991 qui libéralise. Le Vietnam, l'Indonésie, le Bangladesh qui s'ouvrent au capitalisme. Les seuls endroits où l'extrême pauvreté a EXPLOSÉ sur la même période ? Le Vénézuela socialiste : de 27% de pauvres en 2008 à plus de 80% en 2018, avec une inflation de 130 000% et un Vénézuélien moyen qui a perdu 11 kilos par dénutrition. La Corée du Nord. Cuba. Le Zimbabwe de Mugabe. La gauche ne nourrit pas les pauvres. Elle les fabrique. Le capitalisme produit tellement de richesse que même ses « perdants » américains vivent mieux que la classe moyenne soviétique. Un pauvre US a un frigo, une voiture, un téléphone, l'air conditionné, internet. Un pauvre cubain attend du riz. Ton argument selon lequel « le social aux USA est un désastre » repète une légende française. La réalité : le PIB par habitant américain est de 80 000$. Français : 45 000$. Un Mississippien — l'État US le plus pauvre — a un revenu médian supérieur au Français moyen. La vérité que la gauche française refuse de regarder : dans un système libéral, il y a plus de richesse créée, plus largement distribuée, et beaucoup moins de pauvres. Partout. Sans exception. Sur toutes les périodes mesurées. ÊTRE de gauche en 2026 face à ces données, ce n'est pas avoir de la « sensibilité ». C'est ignorer 35 ans de preuves accablantes. C'est préférer la posture morale au résultat. La compassion sans résultats, ça s'appelle de la vanité.

🚨 BREAKING: President Donald J. Trump Just Did Something NO Sitting President Has Ever Done In a powerful moment, President Trump opened the Bible and read 2 Chronicles 7:11-22 aloud — word for word. Here’s what he read: “If My people, who are called by My name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” He didn’t just quote the famous verse 14 — he read the full powerful passage, from Solomon finishing the Temple to God’s solemn warning and promise. We have NEVER had a sitting President do this. Not like this. Not with this clarity. Not pointing America straight back to the God who founded her. This isn’t politics. This is a leader calling a nation to repentance, humility, and revival. When was the last time you saw a President open the Scriptures and declare that God can still heal our land — if we turn back to Him? Share this if you believe America needs this message now more than ever. God bless President Trump. God bless the United States of America. 🙏🇺🇸 #TrumpReadsTheBible #2Chronicles714 #AmericaTurnBackToGod

“The Mayor of Charlotte is demanding…” 🙄🤦🏼‍♂️
The Mayor of Charlotte is demanding people stop posting this reminder of the lovely innocent Iryna Zarutska butchered by a savage on Charlotte public transit. He was on probation by a liberal activist judge.

(George) “also accused the signers of being aligned with his opposition…” Well they are now! 🤦🏼‍♂️
Texas GOP Chair @abrahamgeorge responds, pointing to the passage of 47 Republican legislative priority bills this session, calling it a “historic achievement.” “The Texas GOP delivered for conservatives across this state, and nothing can erase that record.” He also accused the signers of being aligned with his opposition in the upcoming chairman’s race.

👍🏼 The man is a MACHINE
This man put his heart and soul into fending off a leftist takeover of our judicial system, and he inspired thousands of others to do the same. The MAGA movement is forever thankful. IF you support him, Give me a THUMBS-UP👍!

If President Trump cannot admit he lost in 2020, how can we expect him to honor the results of the upcoming midterm elections? His refusal to accept basic reality endangers our democracy.

If you believe free speech is for you but not your political opponents, you're illiberal. If no contrary evidence could change your beliefs, you're a fundamentalist. If you believe the state should punish those with contrary views, you're a totalitarian. If you believe political opponents should be punished with violence or death, you're a terrorist.

I’ve recently traveled in uncivilized areas sans Buc-ee’s. Places with a single both-sex restroom, or restrooms being cleaned (for the next 45 minutes 🤦🏼‍♂️), makes one realize how spoiled one can get when your usual travel takes you by the beaver
The first time you encounter a Buc-ee's on a long Texas highway at 2:13 in the morning, your mind is already compromised. You have been brutalized for hours by gas stations with flickering sodium lights and bathrooms that look like somebody lost a biological war in them sometime during the Reagan administration. The floor is always sticky. Hot dogs rotate endlessly on chrome rollers like condemned souls. There is a smell, a horrifying chemical fusion of burned coffee, windshield washer fluid, and vague biological alarm. You stagger in expecting another convenience-store crime scene. Instead you find... something less disapointing. Notcivilization, but not ruin, either. Not real civilization, Not Paris or Kyoto or even a decent roadside diner. Compared to the radioactive sinkholes scattered across the interstate system, Buc-ee's hits the nervous system like morphine. The bathrooms are clean. Not "gas station clean." Actually clean. Gleaming tile. You could do surgery off this floor in an emergency if you had to. You don't want to, but you could. You walk in tense and suspicious, waiting for the inevitable horror show, and after thirty seconds you realize: nobody has threatened your soul here. This is how they get you. That's how it starts. After the bathroom comes the food. Brisket sandwiches hacked apart by cheerful employees under fluorescent lights bright enough for surgery. Beaver nuggets sold in industrial quantities. Jerky counters stretching to the horizon like some deranged carnivore stock exchange. In that moment? Sunburned, exhausted, running on caffeine and bad decisions? It feels transcendent; A holy oasis built by maniacs putting WAY TOO MUCH sugar in the BBQ sauce. And the thing is? In the desert of the Interstate highway sustem? It works. The human mind adapts quickly to suffering. After enough horrifying truck stops where the toilet paper hangs like surrender flags over apocalyptic wastelands, merely finding a place with functioning plumbing feels like witnessing the Second Coming. Buc-ee's understands this better than any psychologist. They are not selling gasoline. They are selling relief. the cute t-shirts are just icing. They promise that for fifteen minutes you can stop clenching every muscle in your asshole and just RELAX. Then you return home, back to ordinary life. Back to cities with perfectly adequate grocery stores and restaurants and bathrooms that don't require emotional preparation. You reflect on the experience with a clearer head. Was the brisket really that good? No. Not really. Was buying a three-pound sack of caramel corn shaped by a cartoon beaver actually rational human behavior? Absolutely not. But out there on the open highway, deep in the feverlands between Dallas and the lack of civilization, Buc-ee's feels less like a gas station and more like stumbling onto an illuminated oasis in the desert while wolves howl somewhere beyond the parking lot.
