I believe history will show... 1. We are in the middle of a historical political realignment. 2. We are witnessing the end of both major political parties as we have known them. I only hope the two party system itself ends with them.
Pointing out that things are steadily improving—across a broad range of issues, from the economy to immigration—to push back against the impulse toward permanent, default doomerism, which is designed to make people capitulate and give power back to the very political forces that got us into this mess in the first place, is good akshually
He’s the President of the United States — not your ex, not your personal villain, and not the cause of your misery. You don’t have to support him. That’s America.
But if someone is simply backing the sitting President and it makes you rage, cut people off, attack families, or act like garbage — you are the problem.
You’ve turned politics into a personality disorder: nonstop outrage and toddler meltdowns online. Grow up. He won. The sky didn’t fall. Pay your bills, care for your family, touch grass, and move on.
Welcome home, gentlemen.

Tu confonds deux choses, et c'est exactement le piège que la French Theory a tendu.
Liberté, égalité, fraternité — égalité *de droits*, égalité *devant la loi*, égalité *de dignité*. C'est la promesse républicaine, et personne ici ne l'attaque.
Le wokisme, ce n'est pas ça. C'est l'égalitarisme des résultats. Et l'égalitarisme des résultats, contrairement à l'égalité des droits, n'est pas un élargissement de la liberté — c'est sa négation.
Quelques exemples concrets :
— San Francisco supprime les classes de maths avancées au collège pour "réduire les inégalités". Résultat : les écarts entre élèves explosent, les familles aisées prennent des cours privés, les pauvres se font enterrer. L'égalitarisme a creusé l'inégalité.
— Les politiques de discrimination positive à Harvard : étudiants admis avec des scores très en dessous de leurs camarades, taux d'échec dispropportionné, sentiment d'imposture, ressentiment généralisé. On a saboté ceux qu'on voulait aider.
— L'aide humanitaire qui distribue du riz gratuit pendant 30 ans en Afrique : effondrement des filières agricoles locales, dépendance institutionnalisée. Donner un poisson, c'est empêcher d'apprendre à pêcher.
Le wokisme ne détruit pas l'humanité dans le sens dramatique. Il fait pire : il dessert systématiquement ceux qu'il prétend protéger, et il génère du ressentiment des deux côtés — ceux qu'on infantilise et ceux qu'on culpabilise.
La fraternité républicaine dit : tu es mon égal, donc je te traite en adulte capable.
Le wokisme dit : tu es ma victime, donc je dois te protéger de toi-même.
L'un élève. L'autre infantilise. Ce n'est pas la même chose, et confondre les deux est exactement le tour de passe-passe qu'on dénonce.
Democrats have declared the entire electoral process illegitimate because they sometimes lose elections.
They are prepared to torch the entire country in order ‘neutralize red states’.
This is the language of civil war.
Here’s an idea:
Open the borders. Flood America with people who are here illegally. Count them in the census. Gain congressional representation thanks to their presence. Be awarded more Federal spending because they’re here. Give them welfare and make them citizens.
Oh wait, she was already in charge of doing exactly that.
Elon Musk just revealed what’s actually holding AI back.
It’s not chips. Not models. Not data.
It’s concrete.
Someone asked him the obvious question. Why not just build private power plants next to data centers? Bypass the grid entirely.
His answer was four words.
Musk: “The power plant makers.”
There aren’t enough of them.
You can design the best chip on earth. Train a frontier model. Raise $10 billion for a hyperscale data center.
None of it matters if you can’t power it.
Musk: “You can drill down a level further.”
GPUs need power. Power needs turbines. Turbines need factories. Factories need permits. Permits need a government that hasn’t paralyzed itself.
Every link in the chain is physical. And every one of them is breaking.
We can train a frontier model in weeks. We can’t permit a power plant in under five years.
The country that invented the assembly line now needs 40 agencies to approve a gas turbine.
China doesn’t have this problem. They don’t run 7-year environmental reviews on infrastructure they need tomorrow. They break ground while America requests approval to break ground.
The AI race won’t be decided by whoever writes the best algorithm.
It’ll be decided by whoever can still build in the physical world.
We spent 30 years getting faster in software and slower in steel. Outsourcing manufacturing. Hollowing out supply chains. Treating builders like liabilities instead of assets.
Now the bill is due.
Every breakthrough in AI is gated by atoms. Steel. Concrete. Turbines that take years to manufacture and decades to approve.
The smartest code on earth is worthless without electricity.
Musk didn’t give a speech about this. He didn’t need to. He answered one question and the whole infrastructure myth collapsed.
“Where do you get the power plants from?”
Follow that thread far enough and you stop finding a technology problem.
You find a civilization that mastered thinking and forgot how to build.
"Who knows where we'll meet each other next, but you know what? We're gonna meet each other next. I don't know when or where, but I believe it." - John Sterling
There is A LOT of anxiety building amongst VA D’s and behind the scenes finger pointing breaking out over who warned of legal issues last Fall and who insisted it would be fine.
A quick John Sterling story for now - I called him recently to check on his health. He interrupted me: “Why are the Yankees carrying two left-handed hitting catchers?” 😂 Loved that guy. One of a kind.
John Sterling was as distinct a talent and as unique a person as I’ve ever met. John loved baseball, absolutely loved it. And he loved being behind the mic even more. From my earliest days around the Yankees, he was always kind and affable. That voice will live on. RIP, John.🙏🎤
We are saddened by the passing of former New York Yankees broadcaster John Sterling.
Through his unique style and passionate play-by-play calls, Sterling endeared himself to generations of players and fans as radio voice of the Yankees from 1989 to 2024.
His signature punctuation of Yankees victories included calling the final out of five World Series championships.
Sterling’s seven-decade broadcasting career also included stints with the Atlanta Braves and Hawks, the New York Nets and Islanders, and the Baltimore Bullets.
He was 87 years old.
