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.

Let me tell you why a Muslim would stab a random Jewish person on the streets of London. I was raised Muslim, and I know exactly why this happens. It’s not a reaction to the war in Gaza. It’s not oppression. It’s not radicalization. It’s the logical outcome of Islam itself. It doesn’t matter if you’re a Muslim or not, we as human beings carry guilt deep inside us. We know we are not good enough, and we spend our life trying to redeem ourself through good deeds, thinking it will make the suffocating guilt go away. Christianity for example offers a way out of guilt, a solution not based on your works but on Christ’s. Salvation isn’t earned, it’s given. You accept that you can’t redeem yourself, because Christ already did everything on your behalf. That means you’re free. Free to live, free to build, free to serve, free to love. And when a Christian feels lost, broken, and in need of forgiveness, they can go to church, talk to a pastor or priest, and leave knowing they are forgiven. Islam, on the other hand, doesn’t offer redemption, it weaponizes guilt. Instead of providing salvation, Allah exposes you, holds your sins over your head, and threatens you with hellfire and torture in the grave. The Quran isn’t a book of peace, it’s a book of threats. It bullies Muslims into obedience through fear, humiliation, and punishment. So what happens when a Muslim seeks redemption? They try to be better Muslims. They pray, fast, give to charity, go on Hajj, do everything Allah commands. But it never works. I know it. I did it. And no matter how much you pray, no matter how much you try, the guilt never goes away. Because deep down, every Muslim knows it’s not enough. Allah always demands more. Allah loves those who die fighting against the infidels. That’s not an opinion, it’s in the Quran, in Hadith, in every lesson taught to children. This is why Muslims, even the so-called "moderates," always hesitate to condemn terrorism. Because they know jihad is required by Allah. They might not be willing to commit it themselves, but they can't say it’s wrong. So when a Muslim fails to reach peace through religious rituals, they have two choices: Give up, stop being devout, and learn to live with the guilt, or commit to jihad, because that’s the only way to be true to yourself. The Quran spells it out clearly: “Kill those who do not worship Allah or obey the Prophet” (9:29). So when a Muslim embraces this identity fully, killing infidels isn’t just justified, it’s joyful. It’s an act of: Saving yourself, obeying Allah, securing your eternity, finally escaping the crushing weight of guilt This is why a Muslim can stab a random jewish person on the streets and feel nothing but satisfaction. Because for the first time in his life, he finally believes he has done something worthy of redemption.

As an Iranian inside Iran, still connected through Starlink in the middle of the blackout, I just saw President Trump’s latest post and the message is crystal clear:“Iran can’t get their act together… NO MORE MR. NICE GUY!” Mr. President, on behalf of the vast majority of Iranians, thank you. We are living in this exhausting limbo — neither war nor peace. The anxiety is crushing. Economic pressure is mounting on everyone: ordinary people who have already been suffocated for 47 years, and even the Islamic regime itself is starting to crack under the weight. We are willing to endure it all. We have endured worse. But this time we need to know the regime will fall and that our suffering will not be in vain.President Trump, we have been begging the free world for this exact stance for decades: stop treating the Islamic Republic nicely. You are finally doing what we always asked for. The celebrations we had in the streets after you removed Khamenei were unlike anything seen in Iran for 47 years. People danced, cried, hugged strangers — pure joy mixed with relief. We welcomed the removal of every regime leader and agent that followed. That moment proved to us: the world is finally listening. For 47 years we have lived under systematic torture, rape, murder, executions, humiliation and grief. We tried protests, reform, negotiation — everything. The regime’s only answer was bullets and gallows. Now we say it again, louder than ever: Anything to be free. Anything to end this evil. The Iranian people want to be free. We have lived in a world the outside barely understands. Whatever comes next — if it ends the Islamic Republic — we will accept the cost.Because the cost of this regime staying in power is infinitely higher. Thank you, President Trump. The Lion and Sun is rising. 🦁☀️ #IranMassacre #IranRevolution2026‌ #KingRezaPahlaviForIran

I've said it from the beginning: lying to Congress is a felony. Destroying federal records is a felony. Advising others to destroy federal records is a felony. Fauci did all three. His adviser was just indicted. Fauci is next. The deadline to prosecute Fauci is May 11. The DOJ must act now. nypost.com/2026/04/28/us-…

@greg_price11 Hopefully, this is a step toward the USA becoming blind to race.

🚨 BREAKING: In a 6-3 decision, the Supreme Court has ruled that Louisiana's creation of a majority black district that stretches across the state from Shreveport to Baton Rouge was an unconstitutional gerrymander. It did not strike down Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act entirely, but ruled that drawing districts on the sole basis of race is unconstitutional. Without racial gerrymanders in the southern states, Republicans could gain at least a dozen seats.

@CynicalPublius SIIG HEIL "Self-Imposed Intellectual Ghetto" The NAZI salute was "Sieg Heil!". More evidence of the left's totalitarian impulse.

Cole Allen's hate came from never being exposed to the humanity of those he disagreed with. He made that choice to wall himself off. It's the Self-Imposed Intellectual Ghetto of the Leftist Mind.

I don't think there has ever been a person more deserving of a Pulitzer Prize than Nick Shirley. The FBI is raiding fraud locations based on his reporting. Legacy media reporters make millions of dollars and can't even come close to achieving what he has done. Props @nickshirleyy

The California Coastal Commission has issued a formal apology to @elonmusk and SpaceX, adding that it will not consider political views or speech in future regulatory decisions. • The Commission admits some officials made politically biased and improper statements about SpaceX and Elon Musk • It formally apologizes for those remarks • Agrees it will not consider political views or speech in future regulatory decisions • The Commission will NOT require coastal permits for most launch operations at Vandenberg Full statement: "The Commission agrees that it may not consider irrelevant factors in performing its function and specifically agrees that it will not take into account the perceived political beliefs, political speech, or labor practices of SpaceX or its officers in considering any regulatory action concerning SpaceX. The Commission acknowledges that Commissioners made statements, including during their October 10, 2024, hearing on the Base’s Falcon 9 launch program, that showed political bias against SpaceX and its CEO and were improper. The Commission apologizes for those statements, as set forth in the signed letter attached as Exhibit C." This filing means that SpaceX and the California Coastal Commission have reached a settlement in their federal lawsuit, and it provides long-term regulatory clarity for SpaceX for future Falcon 9 launches.

The most vomit-inducing subspecies of professional victimhood crusaders is the privileged PoC woke brigade. You've seen some familiar archetypes. The Brahmin Indian transplant, born at the literal top of the caste pyramid where they’ve been stepping on untouchables for generations, who parachutes into the West and immediately starts cosplaying as some brown skinned underdog railing against “systemic oppression." Meanwhile, their family still runs half the tech visas and corner store empires back home. Or the Gucci-clad son of a Turkish multi-millionaire, living off generational wealth from blood money LARPing as a revolutionary firebrand against capitalism. And now, lo and behold, that New Yorker writer who pens glowing essays about “micro-looting” Whole Foods. Of course she grew up in a goddamn mansion. Of course her parents were running a full-scale human trafficking operation that turned Filipino teachers into indentured servants - predatory loans at 60% interest, deportation threats, the works. $2.8 million in stolen visa fees, luxury resort bribes for school admins, the whole predatory grift. DHS literally ruled it was “a severe form of trafficking in persons.” Her family got caught and had to forfeit the mansion and the Mercedes fleet, pled to conspiracy, and got off with 3 months’ probation and a slap on the wrist. Remember also Lydia Mugambe, that UN judge with an Oxford law doctorate, the “human rights” warrior who spent her days pontificating about protecting the vulnerable… who was caught literally enslaving her own housekeeper in a modern slavery racket? LOL These people are the worst kind of frauds. Loudly protesting their “oppression” while perched on piles of unearned privilege and family exploitation. It’s the exact same energy as the rapey male feminist. The lady doth protest too much, methinks - Shakespeare nailed it centuries ago. That over-the-top virtue signaling is always a cover for the skeletons in their own closets. Never trust them, not for a second. The louder they cosplay the oppressed, the harder you should look at the mansion, the trust fund, the parents, the FRAUD, and the housekeeper they’re probably underpaying in cash.

They arrested the President of the United States of America 4X, charged him 91X, indicted him 4X, spied on his campaign, sabotaged his first term, jailed his supporters, raided his private residence, censored him, gagged him, tried to bankrupt him, and attempted to remove him from state ballots. When all of that failed they tried to assassinate him not once but four times. And they go on national television to talk about how we need to vote for them to save democracy.

🧵THREAD🧵 When I saw the news that the Southern Poverty Law Center funded the hate groups like the KKK & Unite the Right they relied on to claim that white supremacy, inspired by Trump, was on the rise, I just knew the legacy media helped make it possible. Boy was I right ⤵️

An example of how they cook the books to absolve the Left of violence in the WSJ today: A graph it published that seems to show near parity between Left and Right wing political violence is sourced to the Center for Strategic and International Studies, which by its own admission reclassified pro-Palestinian violence as "ethnonationalist". It classifies all antisemitism as Right-wing, and all pro-Palestinian "attacks on Jewish individuals or institutions" as "ethnonationalist." This is just nakedly partisan propaganda presented as "data" and then mainstreamed in the American press. More in my column below linked.

I attended the same school as the alleged WHCA shooter — @DominguezHills. A decade before him & different department. But same institution. Fall 2013. Poly sci paper arguing America was uniquely tolerant because of federalism, assimilation, and ordered liberty. The professor called it a “rant” and gave me a 50. I was furious and had no recourse. A sympathetic faculty member told me so. The grade wasn’t one professor — it was the institution itself. Next assignment: write how Obamacare would lower medical costs. I knew it wouldn’t. I wrote it anyway. Very next semester I changed my major to economics and transferred to @CSULB. At least econ had to deal with incentives, trade-offs, and reality. But the political science department there was worse. I learned quickly that academia is not interested in teaching you how to think, instead they teach you what to think.

🇺🇸 El misterio del tirador de la WHCD, Cole Allen, se ha desmoronado por completo. Ya no hay dudas. Según informes del Servicio Secreto y la Policía del Condado de Montgomery, tras entrevistar a su hermana: • Su manifiesto apuntaba directamente a funcionarios de la administración Trump. • Sus redes sociales estaban saturadas de odio anti-Trump y anticristiano. • Su propio hermano alertó a la policía en Connecticut después de que Allen enviara el manifiesto a la familia antes del ataque. • Entrenaba regularmente en un campo de tiro, era miembro del grupo político “The Wide Awakes” y asistió a la protesta “No Kings” en California. • Tenía un historial de declaraciones radicales y repetía constantemente que iba a “hacer algo” para “arreglar” el mundo. • Compró dos pistolas y una escopeta, y las escondió en la casa familiar sin que sus padres lo supieran. Esto no fue un loco solitario ni un acto improvisado. Fue un hombre que escribió un manifiesto, se armó, se entrenó, se radicalizó en un grupo político, participó en protestas y cruzó el país para ejecutar su ideología con balas. Un terrorista político en toda regla. Fuente: Fox News / @JacquiHeinrich

After the Spanish Right won the 1933 elections, Communists in Asturias launched a revolution, killing thousands before the army was deployed to finally put an end to the chaos. They did the same thing in Catalonia, and when that too was quelled, they engaged in a low-level terrorist campaign all over the country, planting bombs, sabotaging infrastructure, assassinating newspaper editors and political figures, and staging general strikes all over Spain. They kept doing this until they finally won the 1936 election, at which point the Left went full mask-off and began unleashing thousands of criminals into the streets, ransacking businesses, dragging conservatives out of their homes to beat them, and going into the countryside to expropriate private property. The entire country descended into a state of near-total anarchy in a matter of months. The Left spent years agitating for a Marxist revolution in Spain and refused to obey the legal system because they saw the Spanish Republic as a mechanism to achieve Leftism, not as a neutral system intended to uphold democracy, the constitution, or the rule of law. And thus, any deviation from the march towards Leftism was seen as an illegitimate act of treason and proof of an imminent fascist takeover of the state. As a result, ANY electoral victory by the Right was inherently treated as illegal by the Left, and ANY attempt to actually govern in accordance with Right-wing principles was seen as just cause to engage in violent insurrection. You cannot have a country like this for long. If one side treats the process as illegitimate unless it produces their desired ideological outcome, they will inevitably win unless they're physically stopped.

My boss's boss is like 42, never married, no kids. Earns $275-300K per year. Goes on a minimum of two international vacations a year w/ his girlfriend. 10+ days, all out. Eats the best food, stays in top notch accomodations. Excursions, tours, nicest beaches, etc. Great guy, I'm happy for him. But what I've realized is that without kids, you end up chasing a lifestyle that has to continually be topped in order for you to be satisfied and find happiness. What he and others like him don't understand is that when you have children, seeing THEM experience life's most basic things and watching their eyes light up at all the "firsts", brings greater pleasure and joy than any vacation or travel experience ever could. Seeing THEM try blueberries for the first time is greater than dining at the best 5 star restaurant in Europe. Seeing THEM learn how to walk is greater than walking the Great Wall of China or strolling along the most picturesque beach. Watching THEM giggle uncontrollably at "peek-a-boo" tops any A-list comedian act. Seeing THEIR excitement when building a fort out of cardboard boxes and making a door big enough for daddy is superior to staying at 5-star resorts. Flying kites with THEM far outweighs excursions like parasailing or helicopter rides. Seeing THEM perform a recital on stage for the first time is more rewarding than watching a Broadway show or top notch symphony orchestra. ----------------- When you have children, all of a sudden you realize that life's greatest joys are not in the pursuit of things or pleasure or travel, but rather in the LOVE and bond you share with your very own image bearers. Seeing the beauty and magnificence and wonder of life all over again for the first time through THEIR eyes and expressions gives you something the world simply cannot offer, nor even come close.

Obama's Redistricting Machine. How One Post-Presidency Move Turned Into a Weapon and Still Rigged the Map for Democrats Today Back in 2017, Obama teamed up with his former Attorney General Eric Holder and launched the National Democratic Redistricting Committee. The NDRC is a hyper-focused, well-funded operation explicitly designed to seize control of redistricting battles across America. This wasn't a "commission," but it's exactly how it functioned, a literal centralized Democratic war room to flip state legislatures, stack courts, push "independent" commissions, and litigate maps until they delivered maximum advantage for the Democrat Party. Obama literally called this his "main focus" after leaving office, turning a decennial redistricting process into a weapon that gives a permanent structural edge for Democrats. This is the inside workings of this operation and why it still matters in 2026. Step 1: Target the states that matter. The NDRC poured tens of millions into down-ballot races in key states ahead of the 2020 census. Position Democrats favorably for the redistricting process through 2022. They backed candidates, ran ads, and mobilized to win statehouses that would draw the new congressional and legislative maps. Obama himself headlined fundraisers and endorsed the strategy. While Republicans had dominated the 2010 cycle, Obama & Co. made sure Democrats wouldn't lose again. Step 2: "Fair maps" that really only benefit one side. They pushed ballot measures for so-called independent redistricting commissions in blue-leaning states, like in California, Michigan, etc., while aggressively suing Republican-drawn maps in court. In places where they succeeded, maps got redrawn mid-decade or after 2020 in ways that packed Republican voters into fewer districts or cracked Democratic strongholds less effectively. Virginia is the latest example, with Obama personally stumped for a Democratic redistricting overhaul that could flip the state's House delegation from competitive 6-5 to a lopsided 10-1 Democratic edge. "Standing up for democracy," they called it. Others called it the exact gerrymandering Democrats once condemned. Step 3: Make the impact last and maps that still deliver today. The 2021-2022 redistricting cycle, after the 2020 census, was heavily shaped by NDRC-backed efforts. Democrats gained ground in several states through court wins, commission processes they helped create, and targeted legislative flips. Mid-decade adjustments in North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Florida, and Virginia shifted seats toward Democrats, enough to help preserve the narrow House majority in tight cycles. Those maps are still in use right now. They influence who gets elected to Congress, who controls state legislatures, and even future presidential battlegrounds. And the NDRC isn't done, they're already gearing up for 2030, with Holder committed through 2032 and Obama still amplifying the message. This wasn't random grassroots activism. It was a deliberate, top-down strategy from the highest levels of the Democratic Party to treat redistricting like the ultimate political chessboard, and they've been playing the long game ever since. Voters in every state deserve lines drawn for people, not parties. But when one side builds a machine explicitly to "shift the redistricting power" in their favor, it doesn't just affect one election… it tilts the entire decade.

Cole Allen is the Dunning-Kruger Assassin. Allen is not some random nut job from the fringes of society. He’s a very articulate graduate of Caltech, which means he has a high degree of native intelligence. He’s in the education profession. He is on BlueSky. He goes to No Kings protests. He’s your basic rank-and-file Democrat. But it’s that high native intellect that led him astray. The Dunning-Kruger Effect is, at its simplest level, people thinking they know more that they do. People who are high achievers in one area often mistakenly believe their native abilities make them experts in all areas. So you get a super-smart guy like Allen, he excels in one narrow area, and extrapolates that excellence into thinking he knows more than he does in other areas. He goes into Blue Sky, he goes to No Kings protests, and he is easily swayed into believing all of the insane, violent lies those sorts of intellectual cesspools foster. All of a sudden this computer science expert is a national political policy expert too, except that latter expertise is derived from insane propaganda. The man with the intellectual skill to write code is not smart enough to recognize when he himself has fallen prey to propaganda, so he KNOWS that Donald Trump is Hitler and must be stopped. And when you KNOW that someone is Hitler, what’s the right thing to do? That’s what is so scary at this very moment—the sheer number of ostensibly educated Democrats who KNOW so many things are “true" that are actually so very, very untrue. In many ways, Cole Allen is just an average Democrat, and like most average Democrats, he fell prey to credentialism and Dunning-Kruger. But Cole took it to the next level; let’s pray more do not.

Incentives explain outcomes. Actually eliminating hatred would end the existence of “anti-hate” groups, so groups like SPLC amplified hatred instead to get more donations.
