SOCOM Commander Says Special Operations Needs ‘PhDs Who Can Win a Bar Fight’ https://t.co/kqvlkMPwUz

[Brivael Le Pogam @brivael]

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.

Johnny Cash said it better than most ever will.

But I’ll tell you what his poem means to me.

Being American was always about the covenant.

About the declaration that sovereignty begins not with the crown, the corporation, or the bureaucracy.

Sovereignty begins with YOU: the individual.

The farmer is the nation.

The rancher is the nation.

The small business owner is the nation.

A country is land, work, memory, and sacrifice layered over generations. And it survives through production of food, energy and through families who take that stewardship seriously.

That spirit has to be practiced in every generation. It doesn’t carry itself forward.

That’s where I put my energy.

Land, cattle and the infrastructure that keeps a free people capable of feeding themselves.

Freedom is a system you maintain.

[Farm Action @FarmActionUS]

Farmer Mike Callicrate exposed that the USDA has been completely corrupted by the big meat packers for decades.

“We’ve had leadership like Almanza, [who] let rotten meat in the United States and then went to work for the guys that provided it, the Batista Brothers with JBS.”

“We’ve never had leadership from the … USDA that did not work for the big meat packers.”

And he revealed how USDA meat packing inspectors largely serve corporate interests, not public health.

“I’ve been under inspection for a long time.”

“The whole system was designed to hurt small plants.”

“[Small plants] need to be rescued right now.”

“There’s a small plant at Springfield, Missouri right now that’s got $2.5 million worth of debt.”

“We gotta build local, regional.”

“The end is near.”

Win or lose, these words will be remembered for generations.

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth dedicated the final two minutes of his address to speak directly to the American warriors on the front lines in Iran — “This is your moment.”

HEGSETH: “Let me speak straight to you, the joint force, our warriors on the front line.”

“This is your moment, this is the generational turning point America has waited for since 1979 and since the rudderless wars of hubris my generation, our generation endured.”

“Don’t listen to the noise, just stay focused, our commander-in-chief is steady at the wheel.”

“We face a determined enemy. You are better.”

“But we must prove it every single day.”

“History doesn’t care if we’re tired, if we’re scared, or if the fight feels big. It demands warriors who rise anyway.”

“Peace through strength, the warrior ethos, lethality, unity of purpose — those are not slogans, they’re the beating heart of what it means to wear the uniform. That uniform.”

“You think clearly under fire, you act decisively in chaos, you uphold the Constitution, and you uphold our country without hesitation.”

“We are not defenders anymore; we are warriors trained to kill the enemy and break their will.”

“History is watching. Be the force you swore an oath to be: focused, disciplined, lethal, and unbreakable.”

“We will finish this on America-first conditions of President Trump’s choosing, nobody else’s, as it should be.”

“And know this above all: President Trump and I have your back. Always.”

“Through fire, through criticism, through fake news, through everything, we unleash you because you are the best, most powerful, most lethal fighting force the world has ever seen.”

“May Almighty God watch over you, and may His providential arms of protection extend over you.”

“Godspeed, warriors. Keep going.”

[The Real Mike Rowe @mikeroweworks]

If you’re tired of seeing my face in your newsfeed or on the TV, apologies in advance, because it’s about to get a lot worse. By the end of the year, you’re going to be absolutely sick of me, due to America’s ever widening skills gap, and our ongoing attempts to close it with a record number of work ethic scholarships from mikeroweWORKS, and therefor, a record number of invitations to apply.

The situation is serious. Skilled tradespeople are retiring much faster than they’re being replaced. For every 5 that leave the workforce, two come in. The math is not sustainable, and not a week goes by that I don’t hear from some industry leader wondering if I can help with their recruiting challenges. Every trade is in demand like never before. In fact, there’s been so much outreach from so many CEO’s and elected officials, that we’ve doubled the size of our scholarship fund, and extended the application period this year from six weeks to nine months.

Last year, we received 10X the number of applications we normally get, and this year, with the disruption of AI, I suspect the number will be even higher. These are AI-proof, six-figure jobs that don’t require college debt, but instead, training. Thus, I will be cluttering up the media landscape with an onslaught of invitations to apply for scholarships, (like the one attached,) and good-natured appeals to support our efforts with a modest (or immodest) donation.

Toward that end, I’m pleased to announce that the enrollment period is officially open. Funds are now available to help train the next generation of skilled workers. My goal this year is to award $10 million in scholarships, and you’re invited to apply today. Or, if the spirit moves you, to support our efforts with a donation of any size. The donate button is big and red and hard to miss at https://t.co/uolhGspFtN.

If nothing else, please share this, so others can be similarly annoyed with another unsolicited invitation to help us close America's skills gap.

[Secretary Brooke Rollins @SecRollins]

THANK YOU, @POTUS for standing up for America’s farmers, ranchers, and consumers! 🇺🇸

For far too long, hardworking ranching families have been squeezed by massive foreign-owned meatpacking corporations manipulating prices and driving family operations out of business. These global monopolies profit while everyday Americans pay more at the grocery store and rural communities struggle to survive.

It’s time to put America First again in our food system. We need transparency, accountability, and a fair market that rewards those who actually raise and produce our beef — not the corporate middlemen gaming the system.

Thank you, President Trump, for fighting for the heartland, for our farmers and ranchers, and for standing up to the corrupt forces that threaten our food security and American independence. 🇺🇸🐄🌾

I will post this over and over again...

Cows Save The World? Shocking Carbon Study!

A groundbreaking study from the University of Nebraska presents a paradigm shift in the climate conversation.

The research concludes that raising more cattle is a key to a carbon-negative future, as they are net-positive for the atmosphere, producing more oxygen than the methane and carbon they emit.

The surprising prescription? To save the world, we might just need to eat more steak.

[Nick Freitas @NickJFreitas]

Forgiveness is a Biblical command...Reconciliation is something that happens when the offending party recognizes their guilt and repents. You don't reconcile with people celebrating your death.

So for those on the right tripping over themselves to make nice with those downplaying, or outright celebrating Charlie's death, understand that we see you for what you are. Cowards.

You're not "standing in unity," you're not "living out your Christian faith" you are manipulating scripture to avoid conflict.

The same chapter in Romans that commands us to NOT return evil for evil also calls us to ABHOR evil.

We are to OVERCOME evil with GOOD, not make it more comfortable so you can avoid discomfort at all costs.

[Camus @newstart_2024]

The elites won’t tell you this—but the science is clear.

A groundbreaking study from the University of Nebraska revealed something shocking: raising more cows could actually save the planet.

Turns out, cows are carbon negative—they produce more oxygen than the methane and carbon they emit.

So what’s the solution? Eat more steak. Save the world.

The climate activists won’t like this… but facts don’t bend to ideology.

He actually went there.

RFK Jr. just dropped a bombshell on mRNA vaccine technology.

He says the COVID shots PROLONGED the pandemic and helped CAUSE the variants.

But that's not even the best part.

MAHA just leveled up. This might be Kennedy's biggest move yet.

The claim from the agriculture sector that it relies on illegal immigrant workers to keep food prices low is deeply frustrating. At 2S Ranch, we’ve never employed illegal labor. Instead, we invest in full-time, benefited cowboys who receive healthcare and a 401K program. When Washington, D.C., carves out exemptions allowing the agriculture industry to exploit cheap, undocumented labor, it creates an unfair playing field. This reliance on what amounts to modern-day slave labor undermines ethical operations like ours, making it nearly impossible to compete while upholding fair wages and benefits for American workers. It’s time for policies that support honest businesses and protect the dignity of labor in agriculture.

I love when people call Trump Stupid..
You mean the multi-billionaire who kicked every Democrats butt, buried 16 career Republican politicians, and continues to make fools out of once reputable news organizations..
You mean the guy who won the presidency?
You mean the guy with the super model wife?
You mean the guy whose words alone put a massive slow down on illegal border crossings?
You mean the guy whose mere presence made the stock market smash its previous records?
You mean the guy who created one million jobs in his first 7 months in office?
Are you sure you even know what it is you're resisting?
Are you sure you back a party that enables the decimation of every core principal of Christianity?
Are you sure you back a party that voted 100% against the abolition of slavery?
Are you sure you really take a politician like Maxine Waters seriously?
Are you sure you don't see anything wrong with someone who has a 40 yr career as a public servant
Living in a $4.5mm mansion representing a district she doesn't even live in?
Are you sure you see nothing
wrong or peculiar about Hillary Clinton a woman being involved in politics for the last 30 yrs having a net worth of $240 million?

Are you sure you're not just basing your opinion on hatred spewed by a crooked paid for media platform?

Could you even tell me 5 things the Democratic Party has done to improve you're day to day prosperity as a
hard working American citizen?
Probably not..

Do you realize the debacle you are sending your children into once they become adults by continuing to support a political party that has done nothing for the poor except kept them poor and gave them free abortions, and a few hundred a month to keep food in their fridge?
Men don't hate women, white people don't hate black people, and Donald Trump is not a racist.
Stop allowing yourself to be brainwashed by a party that has continuously failed you.
Be about your prosperity, your safety, your children, and an America First mindset.
Dump these crooked politicians that have stunted your growth,your children's growth.
Toughen up, take a stand, and act like a proud American.
See the spirit of Trump supporting and freedom loving Americans and just imagine where we could be as a
country if everyone had the same priorities.
