The Harder They Fall….

The saga of Anthony Fauci is a now all too familiar example of narcissistic and bureaucratic insiders who start with a classic rise only to fall into utter destruction.

Think also John Bolton, James Comey, Jack Smith, and now Anthony Fauci.

Fueled by media flattery, and their over the top rhetoric, they posture as consummate “professionals.”

These egomaniacs convince themselves they are our untouchable defenders of the established Washingtonian order, as supposedly sober and judicious custodians of the government. And when warned where they are ultimately headed, and to tread lightly, they instead interpret such sound advice as the jealousy of the envious.

In the current decade that arrogance is best manifested as crusading against public enemy number one, Donald J. Trump.

So insidiously they up their Trump derangement rhetoric. They cite their titles and degrees as they vaingloriously skirt the law.

Finally drunk on leftwing media adulation, they delude themselves into believing that their megalomaniac behavior is exempt from any consequences.

And then what?

At the apex of their hubris, Nemesis strikes.

And they fall hard by their own overweening arrogance.

John Bolton could not just be content and thankful that he finally got a cabinet-level appointment without the need for Senate confirmation, and thus show some deference to his savior Donald Trump.

Instead, almost immediately like some rookie intern he began sending classified information over unsecure email—writing an on-the-job, tell-all book, timed to appear during the 2020 election and to sandbag his own president.

After all, who would dare to question much less cross the expert John Bolton as he rushed heading into felony convictions and self-implosion?

In 2016 FBI James Comey acted as if he was the godhead of American law enforcement.

As investigator, prosecutor, judge and jury he alone would adjudicate whether the classified document destroyer Hillary Clinton committed a felony.

Comey alone would launch a Steele-dossier witch hunt against Donald Trump, and crown himself the veritable arbiter of presidential elections.

And now?

His rendezvous with Nemesis rendered him a disgraced leaker and fired FBI director, claiming amnesia or ignorance 245 times under oath before a House committee.

Comey was finally reduced to the role of a social media pop philosopher. His final curtain call?

Comey was posting seashell “8647” infantile threats—and then denying as a former FBI Director that “86” had anything to with violent acts of expulsion.

Jack Smith was an obscure liberal fixture in DOJ circles for years—until he was coronated as special counsel—coincidentally three days after Trump, on November 15, 2022, announced he was running for president in 2024.

How strange that the same day, Letitia James was for some reason in the White House.

Nathan Wade, Fannie Willis’s paramour, was too, meeting with Biden’s White House counsel.

And on that day too Merrick Garland’s number three prosecutor Michael Colangelo (freshly hired from James’s prosecution team) announced he was leaving his billet, soon on spec to join Alvin Bragg’s lawfare.

The left began thinking Smith was godlike, a veritable new and improved Robert Mueller, similarly tasked with delivering the federal knock-out blow to Donald Trump.

Within months of his appointment, Smith became a holy crusader to the leftwing media.

That adulation and his hubris drove Smith to rush his absurd 44 indictments to get Trump as recklessly and quickly as possible—worried that Trump first might be elected and thus by Supreme Court case law immune as a sitting president from prosecution.

So the more the media deified him, the more maddened Smith became.

Smith finally was reduced to tapping the phone records of U.S. Senators and grabbing National Archive records of Trump’s text messaging, where he was surveying the private correspondence of more U.S. senators.

And now?

Nemesis reduced him from the heights of would-be Trump slayer to a failed, and unscrupulous prosecutor, omitting to report free and untaxed legal services from his own firm, abandoned by his media toadies, and soon to be facing criminal referrals.

You can add John Brennan, James Clapper, Mark Milley, and Robert Mueller to the same cast.

They too became intoxicated with government power, and believed they were divinely appointed to end Trump. And so they played out a Greek tragedy, consumed by hubris (overweening arrogance) that drove them to atê (mindless recklessness), only to end in Nemesis (cosmic retribution and destruction).

These egos never learned that the amoral leftwing media is a fickle flatterer (remember they even once deified the Stormy Daniels con artist and soon to be felon Michale Avenatti as presidential timber.)

These unelected legends in their own minds confuse their enormous government granted powers at their disposal as bureaucrats with some sort of regal right that will exempt them from any consequences of their lawless arrogance.

And so soon they lie under oath to Congress, or call up Chinese generals to warn them about their own president, or sign patently false affidavits attesting that the Hunter Biden laptop was the work of the Ruskies, or tap senatorial phones—or almost anything that would ensure their inevitable fall from grace and utter humiliation.

So too with the once celestial and now laughingstock Anthony Fauci (who once compared himself to Albert Einstein).

The common denominator?

The greater their arrogance, the harder they certainly fall.

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.

I have great respect for all of you. I listen to everything you say, and I appreciate the huge audiences and platforms you command. You're doing important work.
That said, on President Trump and his approach, I believe some of you may be missing the bigger picture. In my view, his decisions align strongly with true MAGA and America First principles—focusing on long-term strength for the U.S. rather than short-term headlines.
Let me break it down:
1. Trade Policy
The tariffs and trade choices are designed to:
Bring manufacturing jobs back to the U.S. → America First: Yes
Generate revenue for the Treasury → America First: Yes
Reduce dangerous dependence on unreliable foreign suppliers → America First: Yes
These aren't just tweaks; they're about rebuilding American industry and security.
2. Venezuela
Trump faced tough options with a regime that's been a hub for drugs flooding into our country and a safe haven for our adversaries (China, Russia, Iran).
Do nothing → Drugs keep flowing, enemies stay protected → Not America First
Blockade → Limited impact, enemies still have leverage → Not America First
Decisive action (with internal help as Marco Rubio indicated, and high mission success odds as Pete Hegseth suggested) → Disrupts drug flows, weakens adversaries' influence in the hemisphere, secures oil/resources, and restores respect for America ("Bad Ass" title earned through strength).
This delivers real wins on drugs, regional security, and global perception.
3. Iran
The facts are stark:
Iran refuses to abandon its nuclear ambitions.
They're building missiles faster than we can defend against them.
Their hostility toward us hasn't changed.
Once their missiles outnumber our defenses, they'll have cover to go nuclear.
We can neutralize their missiles, navy, and external attack capabilities in 3–5 weeks.
Do nothing (or block Israel and keep negotiating) → Iran buys time, grows stronger → Not America First
Act decisively → Take heat in the media/short term, but solve the threat for a generation. It also weakens China/Russia proxies and gives us greater influence over global oil flows.
All of this is America First—not for next week, but for the next 10+ years.
It's rare to see a leader prioritize 5–10 years ahead instead of just the moment (trade rebuilding, Iran/Venezuela actions, Middle East peace efforts). At home, he's tackling inflation and costs aggressively too. Remember: If something costs $100 and inflation drops from 10% to 2%, next year's price is still ~$112—not lower. Bringing inflation down stops the bleeding, but real relief comes from:
Raising wages
Lowering energy/gas prices
Reducing rent/mortgage/medicine costs
He's pushing hard on all of those fronts through energy dominance, deregulation, and more.
I'm just a regular person—no big following here. You all have massive reach and influence. Please give this perspective some thought. Trump's not playing the short game; he's setting America up to win for decades.

🚨BREAKING: Greg Gutfeled GOES HAYWIRE after Jessica Tarlov sets him off!

"We had dozens of American deaths where YOU DIDN'T SAY SH*T." 🔥

"I’m absolutely BORED by this. I’m bored by the Nazi stuff, bored by the 'concerned' people in the media that weren't concerned when innocent women were R*PED AND M*RDERED, who didn’t CARE about the 57 who died under Obama!"

"You deserve NO attention on this. You deserve NO credibility on this!"

"It seems like you're ready for another one. You had Renee Good, that went for a couple of weeks. You had this guy, went for a week or so. You're gonna need a third one!"

"I don't care about any of this performance anymore, Jessica. It's done. And you know what? Neither does Trump. People are voting for the law. They want the law."

What's your response to this......??👀

Do you firmly support Greg Gutfeled on this?

A. Huge Yes
B. No

IF Yes, Give me a THUMBS-UP👍!!

Why I quit watching movies and series… 🎬

-White guys are always the bad guys
-Black guys are always the heroes
-Women suddenly turn into Rambo
-Dads are always the idiots
-Moms run the show
- Kids are being sexualized
-Traditional values are mocked every time
-Men are made to look weak and pathetic
-Tr00ns are shoehorned into every plot
-And the gay character magically knows everything

Hollywood’s just a propaganda machine now. Do yourself a favor and turn off your TV.
