Trump’s militant braggadocio relies on a decrepit USM that is more brand than bang.

Largely because of Congressional neglect, grift at the highest levels of the Military-Industrial-Complex (MIC), and corrosive leadership from political generals (both retired and active duty), America’s once world-class defense establishment is a marketing commercial not a reality.
This must be backed up with action if Trump is serious.
Take away all military support that enables Israel to go on the offensive, make it clear to the Israelis that we will pull the defensive support that we give them if they take any action that jeopardizes our ceasefire.

From the Iran war to the Epstein files, to MAHA & mass deportations- what explains all of the reversals?
It is critical that we look past the emotions & ask the hard questions, because the answers will tell us who truly runs our nation.
A question I get all the time:
"I have a busy life, and I only have a few hours to train each week. Shouldn't I make them count by going harder?"
No.
See, your body doesn't separate training stress from life stress.
If you're carrying a full-time job, poor sleep, family responsibilities, and financial stress, your "stress bank account" is already running too low for high-intensity training....
You're broke!
Your adaptation reserves are already being spent!

Pendant dix mille ans, l'humanité a vécu sous une malédiction que personne n'osait nommer. Aujourd'hui, sous nos yeux, elle est en train de se briser.
Au commencement, il n'y avait pas assez. Pas assez de terre, pas assez de pain, pas assez de tout. C'est la plus vieille histoire du monde, et c'est elle qui a façonné chacune de nos institutions, chacune de nos peurs, chacune de nos guerres.
"À la sueur de ton front tu mangeras ton pain." Voilà le verset qui a gouverné l'espèce humaine. Un monde où ce que je gagne, tu le perds. Un monde à somme nulle, où la prospérité de l'un est forcément le vol de l'autre.
Et dans ce monde-là, des prophètes se sont levés. Ils ont promis le salut, mais un salut très particulier : non pas créer davantage, mais redistribuer ce qui existe déjà. Ils ont bâti des temples entiers sur le ressentiment. Ils ont fait de l'envie une vertu et de la réussite un péché.
Le plus terrible, c'est qu'ils n'avaient pas tort. Dans un jeu à somme nulle, leur logique tenait. Si le gâteau est fixe, alors oui, chaque part en plus pour toi est une part en moins pour moi. C'est pour cela qu'ils ont réussi à verrouiller le système pendant des générations. Leur récit collait à la réalité d'un monde de rareté.
Mais une chose leur a échappé. Une chose qu'aucun prophète de la pénurie n'avait vue venir.
Le gâteau n'est pas fixe.
L'énergie, la connaissance, la technologie, l'entrepreneuriat : voilà les vraies sources de l'abondance. L'homme n'est pas condamné à se partager un stock figé. Il est capable de créer de la valeur à partir de rien, de transformer le sable en puces, le vide en orbites, l'idée en empire. Chaque grande invention a démenti la malédiction de la rareté.
Et c'est maintenant que le voile se déchire. Tout le monde, même ceux qui en doutaient, commence à le réaliser : le futur ne se construira pas sur le partage du ressentiment, mais sur la vérité et sur le maximum de liberté individuelle laissée à chacun pour bâtir.
La recette de l'abondance n'a jamais été aussi limpide. Laisser faire les entrepreneurs. Ce sont eux qui multiplient les pains. Ce sont eux qui transforment l'énergie brute en monde habitable. Et plus on les libère, plus la table s'agrandit.
Voilà la bonne nouvelle, la vraie : tout le monde aura sa part. Non pas parce qu'on aura mieux découpé les miettes, mais parce que le gâteau, lui, sera devenu infini. On ne se bat plus pour des restes, on dresse une table sans fin.
Les prophètes de la pénurie continueront de s'agiter. C'est leur nature, et leur fonds de commerce. Mais l'histoire ne s'écrit plus avec eux. Elle s'écrit avec les porteurs des libertés individuelles et économiques. Elon Musk pour l'entrepreneuriat, Milei pour la politique. Des hommes qui, chacun à sa manière, conduisent l'humanité hors de la servitude de la rareté.
Nous sommes à la lisière de la terre promise. Pas une promesse de prophète, mais une promesse de bâtisseurs.
Le futur va être génial. Et le plus vertigineux, c'est qu'on ne change pas de gouvernement, ni même d'époque.
On change de type de civilisation.
Pretty much all of the prominent voices who supported the Iran War assured us it would be over by now. None of them will admit they were wrong. Even less will they admit that their initial assurances were based on nothing but their own wishcasting. This whole shitshow has been an enormous waste of time and resources and our country has not benefited from it at all. Its advocates have moved the goal posts repeatedly and have even to this day refused to clearly articulate what constitutes a victory and how we’ll know that it’s been achieved.
$IBRX The FDA’s 10-12 year timeline for bringing new cancer drugs to market is shaped by regulatory capture that effectively protects Big Pharma’s profits. By design or entrenched incentives, this extended process allows incumbent companies to maximize revenue from existing (often inferior) drugs through patent evergreening—minor tweaks, new formulations, and thickets that prolong monopolies well beyond original patents.
Evidence of capture is clear: nearly every recent FDA commissioner has transitioned to high-paying roles at the pharmaceutical companies they once oversaw, creating aligned incentives that slow disruptive approvals threatening those revenue streams. While safety standards matter, user fees, the revolving door, and industry influence suggest the agency does not accelerate timelines as aggressively as possible, prioritizing Big Pharma’s patent-protected windfalls over faster patient access to superior innovations. @LoriMills4CA42@SLS $IOVA @CADL
From Grok: **Yes, it's possible in theory, but unlikely before SpaceX's IPO (expected around June 12, 2026).** Here's the clear breakdown:
### Current Situation
- **Tesla (TSLA)** is already a **public company** (IPO'd in 2010). SpaceX is still private but has filed for its IPO and is about to go public.
- SpaceX "buying TSLA" would mean **SpaceX acquiring Tesla** (a merger or takeover where SpaceX is the buyer/survivor).
### Why It's Theoretically Possible
- **Musk controls both** — He has massive voting power in SpaceX (likely ~80%+ via dual-class shares) and significant influence at Tesla. He has reportedly discussed merging the two companies.
- Companies can pursue acquisitions even if one is pre-IPO. SpaceX could negotiate a deal, get approvals, and close it before or right after its own IPO.
- Synergies are frequently cited: AI, energy storage (Megapacks), robotics, compute infrastructure, etc.
### Why It's Unlikely *Before* SpaceX's IPO
- **Timing is tight** — SpaceX just filed its S-1 and is targeting a huge IPO (~$1.75 trillion valuation) very soon. Major acquisitions like this usually take months (or years) of negotiation, due diligence, regulatory approvals (antitrust, SEC, etc.), and shareholder votes.
- Most current chatter points to a **potential merger in 2027** (after both are public), not before SpaceX's IPO.
- Executing a massive deal right before your own IPO would complicate the IPO process enormously (valuation, disclosures, investor confidence).
### More Likely Scenario
The realistic path being discussed is:
1. SpaceX IPOs soon.
2. Both companies operate publicly.
3. A **merger** happens later (2027), probably with SpaceX as the acquirer to preserve Musk's super-voting control.
Analysts like Dan Ives (Wedbush) put high odds (80-90%) on a merger by early 2027.
**Bottom line:** SpaceX could technically try to buy Tesla before its IPO, but it's highly improbable due to timing and complexity. The momentum is clearly toward a post-IPO combination.
Gates est de bonne foi. Je pense sincèrement qu'il croit faire le bien.
Et c'est exactement là que ça devient inquiétant.
À partir du moment où tu te penses suffisamment intelligent pour savoir ce qui est bien pour les autres — pour 8 milliards d'autres — tu as déjà perdu le contact avec la réalité. Peu importe ton QI, ton CV, ta fondation.
Les systèmes humains ne se modélisent pas. Ils émergent. Ils se régulent. Ils s'auto-organisent à partir de milliards de décisions locales que personne, jamais, ne pourra agréger dans un tableur.
Chaque fois qu'un petit groupe a décidé de "piloter" l'humanité "pour son bien", on a obtenu des catastrophes. Pas parce que les gens étaient méchants. Parce que la prétention de savoir était déjà l'erreur.
Le seul système qui marche, c'est celui où personne ne décide pour tout le monde. Où on laisse l'organique faire son travail.
L'humanité n'a pas besoin de pilote. Elle a besoin qu'on lui foute la paix.
Tony Blair is the living embodiment of what happens when political office becomes a down payment on future plunder. Ejected in 2007 by his own MPs as a massive liability, he bequeathed Britain a wild casino economy primed for the 2008 crash. And when the British economy crashed and burned, Mr Blair kept quiet while honing his skills at securing power by other means.
His first job, after his ejection from 10 Downing Street, was as the West’s Middle East envoy, with a supposed emphasis on Gaza. It took six painful years for Mr Blair’s tenure to prove a failure so profound it amounted to active complicity in Israel’s ethnic cleansing, in Palestinian erasure, and in paving the ground for the ongoing genocide.
Soon after, the Chilcot Inquiry demolished Blair’s Iraq lies, exposing him as a liar, a chancer and a war criminal responsible for countless corpses of Iraqis, but also of British soldiers.
Then came Blair’s real innovation: the financialisation of the ex-premiership itself. The Tony Blair Institute, fuelled by £130 million from Oracle's Larry Ellison—coincidentally, the largest individual donor to the Friends of the IDF—became a shadow state, brokering governance contracts for autocrats and companies like Palantir that weaponise AI to produce mega-death abroad and full-on surveillance of Western populations.
Now, in May 2026, this corporate fixer issues a 5700 word tantrum demanding that Labour embrace Trump even more than Starmer already has, denounce what is left of Labour’s betrayed Green New Deal, and trash the remnants of workers' rights. This is not the wisdom of an aging statesman. It is the frantic squirming of a man fearing his grip on oligarchic power might soon wane and whose entire post-10 Downing Street existence depends on preventing the many from ever reclaiming what the few have plundered.

Today we honor those who gave their last full measure for our nation. Today is also a day to pray for a lasting peace.
We honor our fallen by vowing to never send young men & women off to war unless it is vital to our nation’s security.
Speak the names of our heros & tell their stories.
Michael jackson's name was in fact mentioned in the epstein files.. as one of the only men actually trying to get the children OFF of the island.
He was just and abused child trying to save abused children 💔
