Because some of you have MOCKED my candidate, my candidate's supporters, and ME, relentlessly for the last 8 years, I feel there is no better time to return the favor. There's a test involved. If you comment, please do share your score! blainsworld.blogspot.com/202…

The Late Night show hosts were so giddy and celebratory after Trump was banned from social media. They absolutely LOVE censorship until someone accusing one of them of crossing the line. Then they become supporters of free speech.

This is how an economy actually works
Elon Musk avait dit un truc qui m'avait marqué sur l'allocation de ressources. En substance : passé un certain niveau de richesse, l'argent n'est plus de la consommation, c'est de l'allocation de capital. Cette phrase change tout. L'économie, dans le fond, c'est juste un problème d'allocation. Tu as des ressources finies et des usages infinis. Qui décide où va quoi ? Imagine une cour de récré. 100 enfants, des paquets de cartes Pokémon distribués au hasard. Tu laisses faire. Très vite, un ordre émerge. Les bons joueurs accumulent les cartes rares, les collectionneurs trient, les négociateurs trouvent des deals. Personne n'a planifié. Et pourtant chaque carte finit dans les mains de celui qui en tire le plus de valeur. Le système maximise le bonheur total de la cour. C'est ça, la main invisible. Maintenant fais entrer la maîtresse. Elle trouve ça injuste. Léo a 50 cartes, Tom en a 3. Elle confisque, redistribue, impose l'égalité. Trois effets immédiats. Les bons joueurs arrêtent de jouer, à quoi bon. Les mauvais n'ont plus de raison de progresser, ils auront leur part. Les échanges s'effondrent. La cour est égale, et morte. Elle a maximisé l'égalité, elle a détruit le bonheur. Le problème de la maîtresse, c'est qu'elle ne peut pas avoir l'information que la cour avait collectivement. C'est le problème du calcul économique de Mises, formulé en 1920. L'URSS a essayé de le résoudre pendant 70 ans avec le Gosplan. Résultat : pénuries, queues, effondrement. Pas parce que les Soviétiques étaient bêtes, parce que le problème est mathématiquement insoluble en mode centralisé. Quand Musk a 200 milliards, il ne les consomme pas, il les alloue. SpaceX, Starlink, Neuralink, xAI. Chaque dollar est un pari sur le futur. Et lui a un track record. PayPal, Tesla, SpaceX. Il a démontré qu'il sait identifier des problèmes immenses et y allouer des ressources avec un rendement spectaculaire. L'État aussi a un track record. Hôpitaux qui s'effondrent, éducation qui décline, dette qui explose, services publics qui se dégradent malgré des budgets en hausse constante. Le marché identifie les bons allocateurs, la politique identifie les bons communicants. Le profit n'est pas une finalité, c'est un signal. Il dit : tu as alloué des ressources rares vers un usage que les gens valorisent suffisamment pour payer. Plus le profit est gros, plus la création de valeur est grande. Quand Starlink est rentable, ça veut dire que des millions de gens dans des zones rurales ont enfin internet. Quand un ministère est en déficit, ça veut dire qu'il consomme plus qu'il ne produit. L'un crée, l'autre détruit, et on appelle ça redistribution. Dans nos sociétés il y a deux catégories d'acteurs. Les entrepreneurs et les bureaucrates. L'entrepreneur prend un risque personnel pour identifier un problème, mobiliser des ressources, créer une solution. S'il se trompe il perd. S'il a raison, ses clients gagnent, ses employés gagnent, ses fournisseurs gagnent, l'État collecte des impôts. Il est la cellule de base du progrès humain. Le bureaucrate ne prend aucun risque personnel. Son salaire est garanti. Au mieux il maintient une rente existante. Au pire il la détruit par excès de réglementation, mauvaise allocation forcée, incitations perverses qui découragent ceux qui produisent. Mais dans aucun cas il ne crée. Regarde les 50 dernières années. iPhone, internet civil, SpaceX, Tesla, Google, Amazon, Stripe, mRNA, ChatGPT. Toutes des inventions privées, portées par des entrepreneurs, financées par du capital risque. Pas un seul ministère n'a inventé quoi que ce soit qui ait changé ta vie au quotidien. La France est devenue le laboratoire mondial de la dérive bureaucratique. 57% du PIB en dépenses publiques, record absolu. Une administration tentaculaire, une fiscalité qui pénalise la création de richesse. Résultat : décrochage face aux États-Unis, à l'Allemagne, à la Suisse. Fuite des cerveaux. Désindustrialisation. Dette qui explose. Et le pire c'est que la mauvaise allocation s'auto-renforce. Plus l'État prélève, moins les entrepreneurs créent. Moins ils créent, moins il y a de base fiscale. Plus l'État s'endette et taxe. Boucle de rétroaction négative parfaite. La maîtresse pense qu'elle aide, et chaque année la cour produit moins. Dans nos sociétés, ce sont les entrepreneurs, toujours, qui font avancer la civilisation. Les bureaucrates au mieux maintiennent une rente, au pire la détruisent. Aucune société n'a jamais progressé en taxant ses créateurs pour subventionner ses gestionnaires. La question n'est jamais qui a combien. C'est qui alloue le mieux la prochaine unité de ressource pour maximiser le futur de l'humanité. La réponse depuis 200 ans n'a jamais changé. Ce ne sont pas les fonctionnaires.

For shits and giggles, I decided to see just how hard it would be to replace my birth certificate, Social Security card, AND my marriage license, since Democrats think women are too stupid to figure it out. Here's how it went: 1. Birth certificate: Contacted the health department of the county where I was born. They OVERNIGHTED a certified copy to me the next day - total cost, $14. 2. SS Card: Contacted Social Security on their site. They asked if I was sure I needed the card, since I 'won't likely be asked for it.' I went ahead and got it - took five business days to arrive - total cost, $0. 3. Marriage License: Went to the 'vital docs' site of the county where we were hitched. Filled everything out online, arrived in three days - total cost, $5. It cost less than $20 to obtain all three certified/legal documents, and it took less than five business days to receive them. Note: if I had lived where I was born or married, it would have been a day. Tops. Anyone telling you this is too hard or unfair is lying and hiding the real reason they want to stop Voter ID. I know you guys knew that already... lol

Sam Harris sits quietly as Bill Maher calls out the NYT for pushing readers toward an opinion on the “Iran War.” “The second day of the war… The New York Times’ headline was ‘US troops die.’ That was what they led with.” “But then, in a country where I’ve read 80 to 90% of the people are thrilled that the Ayatollah is gone, what picture did they put? Picture of people mourning the Ayatollah…” “I can’t believe that somebody at the desk didn’t get, ‘I’ve got a great picture of people dancing in the streets.’ Yeah, we’re gonna go with the 10% who are sorry the Ayatollah is dead because that’s gonna funnel the thought of our readers toward, ‘Oh, this is a bad war to get into.’” “That, to me, is the difference in what the media does now and what they didn’t used to do. You’re funneling me toward an opinion, whereas I would love it if you just told me what happened.” After a couple of low-energy “yeahs,” Harris conceded: “The boundary between activism and journalism has clearly broken down.”

As I said earlier, regime change - in Venezuela or elsewhere - is a very serious and consequential thing. No doubt. But the satirical commentary following the fall of Maduro has been sensational. The irony. The sizzle. The absolute bangers. Here are my faves so far.

I have been monitoring the Venezuela issue all day long, and there are so many questions yet to be answered (thanks to great Pentagon OPSEC), but the strategic reason for bringing down Maduro has become abundantly clear. While we ostensibly captured Maduro based on legitimate, outstanding US drug charges from 2020, the real reason for the military operations early this morning is that neutralizing Maduro's Venezuela had become a strategic imperative for the USA. Under Maduro, Venezuela had become the Latin American crossroads for all of the USA's principal enemies. Maduro was nurturing relationships with Russia, Hezbollah and Iran. Worst of all, Venezuela was eagerly becoming a part of Red China's Belt & Road initiative. As America's enemies were lining up Venezuela as their base of operations in the Western Hemisphere to cause mischief and destruction for the USA, Maduro was at the same time making Venezuela a crossroads, safe haven and enabler for all manner of narcoterrorist operations, ranging from Colombia's FARC to Mexico's Sinaloa cartel. On top of all that, Venezuela had become a key player in the illegal alien invasion of the USA, shipping its very worst to the USA in a deliberate and comprehensive destabilizing operation that might have worked had Donald Trump not won in 2024. Next in importance: oil. The global and regional ambitions of both China and Russia are in large part dependent on the politics of petroleum, and the USA just deprived both of the cudgel afforded by friendly Venezuelan oil. Trump opponents say "It's about oil" as if that was a bad thing. Yeah, it's about oil. Finally, all of this was in keeping with the most essential and fundamental foreign policy mandate of the USA almost since the nation's inception: the Monroe Doctrine. Operations like what Maduro was running simply cannot be allowed in the Western Hemisphere. Trump was right for falling back on this most basic of doctrines that protects the USA's sovereignty. So was Maduro seized because of some five year-old drug charges? Yes. Legally--yes. However, like so many strategic issues in the world today, an action needed to be backed by the fine points of law, and it was. But the reality is that the Maduro takedown was a Monroe Doctrine-driven necessity that has greatly enhanced the power and national security of the USA. Congratulations, Donald Trump, Marco Rubio, Pete Hegseth and the rest of the Trump national security team: you boldly took the steps necessary to defend the USA. Well done.

First, here’s the exact quote from Jimmy Kimmel, the sanctimonious prick: “The MAGA gang is desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it.” Now, you dimwitted cockroach, let’s tear this malicious lie apart... Kimmel’s oily tongue didn’t explicitly slap the label “MAGA supporter” on Tyler Robinson, the alleged assassin of Charlie Kirk, but his smarmy implication was a deliberate, venom-dripping smear...a calculated attempt to paint the entire MAGA movement as a hive of murderous zealots. The BBC’s reporting from September 19, 2025, shreds this narrative to ribbons: Kimmel, that pompous assclown, cherry-picked a narrative to stoke his liberal fanbase’s outrage, a textbook example of media manipulation backed by a 2023 American Political Science Review study showing partisan outlets thrive on unverified outrage bait. This wasn’t a misstep...it was a fucking lie, served with a side of smug condescension. But let’s pivot to why Kimmel’s sorry ass got canned...because his show was a hemorrhaging shitshow that couldn’t hold a candle to a flickering match. The Hindustan Times dropped the hammer on September 18, 2025: Jimmy Kimmel Live! tanked 11% in September, slumping to 1.104 million viewers, a pathetic third place behind Fallon’s 1.330 million (up 17%) and Colbert’s 2.812 million (down 6% but still dominant). In Q2 2025, Nielsen data pegged Kimmel at 1.77 million viewers, a distant second to Colbert’s 2.42 million, with Fallon lagging at 1.19 million. The numbers don’t lie, Kimmel’s late-night empire was a crumbling edifice, bleeding cash like a gut-shot deer. ABC, those corporate vultures, weren’t about to keep hemorrhaging millions to prop up a fading has-been whose ratings were circling the drain. The Nexstar media group, ABC’s Texas affiliate, pulled the plug first over his Kirk remarks, and ABC followed suit, suspending him indefinitely. Trump’s gleeful cackle about it being “great news for America” only salted the wound, but the real killer was the bottom line: Kimmel’s show was a financial black hole, costing more to produce than it raked in, a fact buried under layers of his sanctimonious bullshit. So, Mehdi Hasan, you sanctimonious twerp, take your hypocritical whining about Fox hosts and shove it up your sanctimonious arse. Kimmel’s firing wasn’t about some noble stand against misinformation...it was a cold, hard execution of a failing brand by a network tired of his overpaid, underperforming carcass. The dark satire here, you pathetic tool, is that Kimmel’s own venomous lies about MAGA might’ve been the final nail in his coffin, a delicious irony served with a side of schadenfreude so thick you could choke on it.
