Lettre à l'Amérique, d'un Français qui a vu la fin du film.

Vous vous croyez encore le dernier pays libre. Vous l'êtes pour l'instant. Je vous écris depuis un pays qui l'était aussi, et qui a signé sa reddition sans qu'un seul coup de feu ne soit tiré.

En France, l'État capte et redistribue 57% de tout ce que la nation produit. Cinquante-sept pour cent. Arrêtez-vous sur ce chiffre. Pour chaque unité de valeur créée par un ingénieur, un ouvrier, un fondateur qui a risqué sa peau, plus de la moitié transite par une main qui n'a rien bâti. Ce n'est pas une ligne budgétaire. C'est une hypothèque permanente sur l'existence des gens.

Et voici ce que personne ne vous avouera : ça n'arrive jamais par la révolution. Personne ne vote pour le déclin. On vote pour la compassion, pour la sécurité, pour la justice, pour la planète. À chaque étape, on troque un morceau de liberté contre une promesse. Et les promesses sont toujours belles. C'est ça, le piège.

Le collectivisme d'aujourd'hui n'agite plus le drapeau rouge il a compris que ça ne se vend plus. Il a appris à parler la langue du soin. ESG, gouvernance, conformité, « responsabilité » : ce sont les mots nouveaux d'une très vieille idée. L'idée qu'une élite éclairée sait mieux que vous ce qui est bon pour vous, et qu'il faut donc lui transférer, ligne après ligne, le pouvoir de décider à votre place. Ce n'est pas un complot. C'est pire : c'est un consensus. Personne ne se cache. Tout se fait à visage découvert, applaudi, subventionné.

Hayek l'avait écrit il y a quatre-vingts ans : la route de la servitude est pavée de bonnes intentions et de planification centralisée. La France a marché sur cette route en souriant. On a nationalisé le risque, socialisé l'échec, taxé l'audace, et administré tout le reste. Résultat : un pays magnifique qui ne construit plus rien, qui gère sa décrépitude avec une élégance funèbre, et où le jeune le plus doué rêve d'une seule chose partir. Beaucoup atterrissent chez vous.

L'Amérique a encore ce que nous avons perdu : le réflexe de bâtir plutôt que d'administrer. Le fondateur y est un héros, pas un suspect. La réussite y est une preuve, pas une faute à expier. C'est votre trésor. Et un trésor, ça se perd sans qu'on s'en aperçoive un formulaire, une agence, une « bonne cause » à la fois.

Alors ne cherchez pas d'ennemis cachés. C'est inutile et c'est indigne de vous. Regardez plutôt le chiffre. Regardez la France. Chaque point de PIB que vous laissez glisser vers l'État est un point de liberté qui ne revient jamais.

La liberté ne meurt pas assassinée. Elle meurt anesthésiée, sous les applaudissements.

Ne signez pas. Construisez.

The Communist Takeover of The Democrat Party is inevitable.

Last night in Colorado, a 15-term incumbent was taken out by a Socialist who was born in Ethiopia.

Mamdani led 3 Socialists candidates to unseat long-time incumbents in New York.

Now AOC is flirting with a 2028 run for President.

Their rising stars campaign on seizing wealth, government-run everything, and abolishing the systems that made this the richest nation in history.

We’ve seen this story before.

Every single time a country embraces this ideology — the Soviet Union, Cuba, Venezuela — the result is the same: empty shelves, secret police, mass graves, and a ruling class that lives like kings while everyone else starves.

100 MILLION DEAD in the last century. That is the true body count of communism.

It is the most murderous idea in human history, and it’s coming to America.

📌 INTRODUCING THE COLORADO BIPARTISAN VIOLENCE REPORT 📌

A group of everyday Coloradans—across the political spectrum, on our own time and dime—just did something the billion-dollar advocacy groups won’t:

Followed the data.

Using only State of Colorado sources, built a 10-year, fully sourced, peer-reviewed analysis of violent crime.

Here’s what the data actually shows (2015–2024):

✅ Violent crime increased 56% statewide
✅Aggravated assault increased 100.6% and now makes up ~⅔ of all violent crime
✅Just 4 counties (Denver, Adams, El Paso, Jefferson) account for 54.4% of all violent crime
✅The share of violent crime involving firearms has remained largely flat
✅The most common weapon in violent crime is “personal weapons” (hands, fists, feet)

Let that sink in.

This project started with a 5-hour meeting in December 2025.
No funding.
No agenda.
Just a commitment to analyze the data honestly and publish it transparently.

It was agreed on to intentionally avoid controversial datasets to eliminate bias claims.

Every figure is sourced, reproducible, and built to be updated as new data comes in.

The result:
The Colorado Bipartisan Violence Report.

This is a tool for legislators, advocates, journalists, and anyone who actually cares about evidence-based policy.

No spin. No cherry-picking. Just Colorado’s own data.

Use it. Share it. Challenge the narrative.

[Rothmus 🏴 @Rothmus]

Before Marx poisoned class analysis, classical liberals like Charles Comte and Charles Dunoyer identified the real divide in society between (1) net PRODUCERS (the productive class) and (2) net CONSUMERS (the parasitic class that lives by state coercion and plunder).

The consistent pattern is that takers almost always demand more from makers.

>retirees push for higher Social Security and Medicare benefits funded by younger workers who will never receive the same deal

>welfare recipients advocate for higher taxes on working families to sustain their benefits

>public sector unions extract lavish pensions, early retirement, and gold plated healthcare that private sector workers are forced to subsidize

>student borrowers demand “debt forgiveness” that shifts their obligations onto people who didn’t borrow or who already paid their loans

>corporate cronies lobby for bailouts, subsidies, tariffs, and regulatory barriers that shield them from competition at everyone else’s expense

>government bureaucracies and grant-dependent NGOs grow by creating new problems that require more tax funding and more dependents

This is the direct product of the redistributive state, which systematically expands the parasitic class by manufacturing new claims on other people’s production.

Social Security is the clearest example.

Seniors were told they paid into a trust fund. The money was spent the moment it arrived. The system survives only by forcing the next generation to pay higher taxes or accept debased currency.
It is a textbook intergenerational Ponzi scheme, and it is just one program among dozens.

As the state keeps assuming more functions (healthcare, housing, education, energy, childcare, eldercare, and on and on), it keeps creating larger constituencies with a direct financial interest in bigger government.

The productive class shrinks under the weight while the parasitic class grows. Tensions between the two intensify.
The State finds a new scapegoat (muh billionaires).
The race to the bottom goes on.

Denver mistakenly ticketed a car in Grand Junction, then told the owner he’d have to drive 4 hours to Denver to fight it in court.

It’s time for the city to fix this gap it created with a budget cut last year. Currently all you can do is go to court to fight a ticket.

This baby was born at 34 weeks. Still legal to abort in over ten states (including D.C.).

Jeremiah 1:5 - “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you…”

Made in the Image of God. No child should be aborted

🚨🚨🚨THE DEATH OF PARENTAL RIGHTS: Colorado’s Corrupt Courts Just Legalized State-Sponsored Kidnapping🚨🚨🚨

This is EXACTLY what happens when Democrats appoint radical, activist judges to the bench! The Colorado Supreme Court just handed down a terrifying 5-2 ruling that completely destroys the rights of parents.

According to their new twisted logic, a judge can now slash a parent’s time with their child down to nearly ZERO—and it doesn’t even count as a "restriction"! Because it’s labeled a mere "modification," judges no longer have to prove the child is in actual danger to strip you of your custody.

Think about the terrifying weapon this gives the radical left. If a bureaucratic judge doesn't agree with your traditional values, your refusal to use forced pronouns, or your resistance to the chemical and surgical gender mutilation of your kids, they can essentially eliminate your visitation entirely. As long as they leave you with one single overnight a year, the court says "the math is mathing" and your rights haven't been restricted.

They are coming for your children, and they just legalized the framework to do it. Absolute disgrace.

See the problem here?

[Faithfulness Okom @AttorneyF_]

Galatians 4:4 looks like a transition verse.

“But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth His Son.”

If you read it fast, it sounds like a timestamp. But if read slowly, it is the most staggering sentence in the Bible.

‘Fullness of time’. Paul isn't saying God picked a convenient moment. He is saying God declared a moment complete. “The preparation is finished and everything I have been building across centuries is exactly where I need it to be”. God looked at human history and said: now.

Which forces the question. Why then? Why not a thousand years earlier, when Moses was fresh? Why not a thousand years later? What was so perfect about the first century?

I started looking into it and I have not recovered.

God needed a people with the theology. He spent 2000 years forming Israel; the covenant, the sacrificial system, the prophets, Isaiah 53 written seven centuries before Calvary, the framework of a coming Messiah who would bear the sin of the world. The Jews were shaped by wilderness, exile, and divine discipline, until the theological infrastructure for substitutionary atonement was fully in place.

But theology alone could not travel. God needed a language. Not a tribal dialect, but a universal tongue. So five hundred years before the Gospel, He let the Greek philosophers begin.

Heraclitus sat in Ephesus and concluded the universe was governed by an invisible rational principle. He called it the Logos.

The Stoics built on it. Philo of Alexandria stood at the intersection of Greek thought and Hebrew scripture and said the Logos was the mind of God in creation. For five hundred years, philosophy built a conceptual category it could not fill.

Then God sent a conqueror with no interest in theology. Alexander the Great wanted glory and empire. God let him want it. In satisfying his ego across three continents, Alexander Hellenized the ancient world and forged Koine Greek, the common tongue of the docks, markets, soldiers, and slaves. A language stripped of complexity, simple enough for anyone, universal enough for everyone.
The Hebrew scriptures were translated into it. The Septuagint was born. God used a pagan conqueror’s ambition to translate His own Word.

Then Rome came and paved the road. The Pax Romana. Piracy cleared. Stone highways stretching from Spain to Syria. A framework for movement the ancient world had never seen.

None of them knew they were collaborating.

Heraclitus thought he was doing philosophy. Alexander thought he was building a monument to himself. Rome thought it was building an empire for Rome. Not one of them understood they were stagehands. God was with Heraclitus in his pondering, with Alexander in his conquest, with Roman engineers laying stone, quietly requisitioning their work for a purpose none of them could see.

And then, when the covenant people were in place, the language primed, the roads built, and the category ready, when everything He had been quietly assembling was finally set, God stepped into the room they had unknowingly prepared.

John picked up his pen and wrote: “In the beginning was the Logos.”

Every Greek philosopher in the Mediterranean felt the ground shift. “And the Logos became flesh.” The category they spent five centuries constructing was not a principle. It was a Person.

The ‘fullness of time is not a timestamp’. It is God’s signature on a completed work. And the humbling thing is that this work was not built by saints. It was built by conquerors, philosophers, and emperors who thought they were writing their own story. God let them think that. And used every word. If this is not amazing then I don’t know what is.

A failed abortion procedure in Australia resulted in a baby being born alive and left to die alone while sucking his thumb.

He wasn’t just a “clump of cells,” but instead a human being, fearfully and wonderfully made in the image of God. Abortion is murder.

[Live Action @LiveAction]

At 10 weeks preborn babies can:

Touch their face
Turn their head
Roll over
Experience the hiccups
Be killed by the abortion pill

They aren’t just a clump of cells.

They are human beings and deserve protection.

BAN the abortion pill now.

🚨GOOGLE JUST SILENTLY DOWNLOADED A 4GB AI MODEL TO YOUR COMPUTER WITHOUT ASKING.. WITHOUT TELLING YOU.. AND WITHOUT ANY WAY TO STOP IT..

If you use Chrome.. There's a good chance a 4 gigabyte file is sitting on your hard drive right now that you never agreed to download..

It's called Gemini Nano.. Google's on-device AI model.. A security researcher just proved it installs itself with zero clicks.. Zero prompts.. Zero notifications..

Alexander Hanff set up a completely fresh Chrome profile.. Didn't click anything.. Didn't scroll.. Didn't type a single keystroke.. Just opened the browser and watched..

14 minutes and 28 seconds later.. Chrome had silently scanned his hardware.. Read his GPU, RAM, and storage.. Then wrote a 4GB file to his hard drive.. No permission dialog.. Nothing..

Chrome's own logs show the download begins BEFORE the settings page where you could opt out is even loaded.. The file starts installing before the refusal button exists..

As of Chrome 148.. Any website you visit can trigger this download.. One line of JavaScript.. You click a link to read a blog post.. That click counts as "user activation".. And Chrome silently pulls 4GB in the background..

No install prompt.. No consent dialog.. Google's own docs admit this..

Your laptop overheats.. Storage disappears.. Battery drains.. And you have no idea why..

The model doesn't even work well.. Cloud requests take 1.3 seconds.. The local model at worst case takes over 9 minutes for a single response..

Google is using your storage, electricity, and bandwidth to run an AI that's 40 times slower than their own servers..

And the "AI Mode" button in Chrome's address bar.. Doesn't even use the local model.. It sends everything to Google's cloud anyway..

You pay the storage penalty.. The heat penalty.. The bandwidth penalty.. And the visible AI feature ignores the local file entirely..

Because Chrome fails to clean up old versions.. Users are finding 12GB or more of duplicate AI files stacked on their drives..

Palo Alto Networks found a vulnerability where a browser extension could hijack the local AI model's permissions.. Accessing your webcam.. Microphone.. Local files.. Through an AI you never installed..

Here's how to check if it's on your machine..

Windows.. C:\Users\[YourName]\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\OptGuideOnDeviceModel\

Mac.. ~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Default/OptGuideOnDeviceModel/

If there's a file called weights.bin.. Google downloaded their AI to your computer without asking..

To stop it.. Type chrome://flags.. Search "optimization-guide-on-device-model" and disable it.. Search "prompt-api-for-gemini-nano" and disable that too.. Restart Chrome.. Then manually delete the folder..

If you don't disable the flags first.. Chrome redownloads the 4GB file on next launch..

Firefox requires explicit opt-in for AI.. Apple Intelligence requires explicit consent.. Chrome just takes your hard drive..

Google didn't ask to use your storage.. Your electricity.. Your bandwidth..

They just took it.

[Skeletor 🧼🧽🫧 @TheMuppetPastor]

I learned an interesting fact the other day about Jesus’ lineage.

Some of you know this, but one of his ancestors was Ruth, the Moabite, and heroine of her own book.

What I had forgotten was this verse:

““No Ammonite or Moabite may enter the assembly of the Lord. Even to the tenth generation, none of them may enter the assembly of the Lord forever,”
Deuteronomy 23:3 ESV

NO Moabite could enter the assembly of the Lord? This harsh punishment was a result of Moab’s many sins against their cousin, Israel (sons of Lot and born of incest) when they tried to hire Balaam to curse the Hebrews, when they refused to help their cousins, when they invaded, and when their wicked religion butchered infants to their pagan gods.

So why was Ruth able to not only become Hebrew, but to be a proud member of the line of David, and later, Jesus?

“But Ruth said, “Do not urge me to leave you or to return from following you. For where you go I will go, and where you lodge I will lodge. Your people shall be my people, and your God my God.”
Ruth 1:16 ESV

Ruth the Moabite did more than pledge loyalty to Naomi; she rejected her culture, her gods, and her old life, choosing the true God instead. Ruth was not subject to the curse against Moab because she was penitent, humble, and a convert.

God punished the host who violently opposed him and embraced sin even when they knew a better way. Moab knew about God; Lot was a follower, but they chose wickedness instead. Yet God forgave anyone who abandoned wickedness and returned to Him.

More than just a love story; Ruth is a reminder that God forgives all who seek His face.

[Anna Lulis @annamlulis]

A baby at 18 weeks gestation. 

Not a “clump of cells”

A unique and developing human being with little toes, eyes, and fingers.

No child should be aborted.

[Anna Lulis @annamlulis]

This is what a 34 week old baby looks like outside the womb.

9 states plus Washington, DC allow babies to be aborted at this age. For no reason, just because someone wants to.

They call it “reproductive rights” because they refuse to call it what it is: murder.

[FreeStateColorado @FreeStateColor1]

BREAKING: Colorado House Democrats vote to limit debate on three bills today by invoking Rule 14!

@COHouseDem don't care about open discussion, they just want to push their extreme agenda through...

The three bills are HB26-1335 which would mandate that abortion drugs be supplied on Colorado Campuses, HB26-1276 which "doubles-down" on Colorado's Sanctuary State Statue and HB26-1281 which makes it more difficult for someone to be convicted on first-degree murder in Colorado!

It's no wonder they want to limit debate! These are controversial measures that push Colorado in the wrong direction!

[Franklin Graham @Franklin_Graham]

Paige Rogers is a sophomore at a Christian college in Kentucky who was fired from her job at a local coffee shop because she answered questions from two coworkers about her beliefs. They asked Paige about her beliefs on marriage, sexuality, and other topics. She answered honestly and respectfully, and a week later received a text saying that her employment was being terminated immediately because she had violated policies about workplace conduct. Ridiculous. Paige is right—no one should be fired for respectfully sharing their religious viewpoints—especially when asked. Would you pray for Paige and share an encouraging word in the comments below? https://t.co/9ysR7n4myx
