J’ai entendu dire que la France était finie, qu’il était trop tard pour la sauver. Mais la France est toujours aussi belle, enviable même. Sa grandeur n’a pas disparu, elle ne demande qu’à renaître. Nous avons surmonté en un an un problème cent fois plus grave, sans avoir les moyens dont dispose la France. La France pourrait y arriver en une semaine.

En France, on a inventé le Concorde. En 1969, il décollait et atteignait Mach 2 symbole de la grandeur gaullienne, conçu pour défier les Américains. En 1972, le TGV 001 battait le record mondial à turbine (318 km/h). En 1981, le TGV électrique reliait Paris à Lyon à 260 km/h. En 2007, il pulvérisait encore le record mondial sur rail : 574,8 km/h. Dans les années 70, le plan Messmer lançait le plus grand programme nucléaire civil de l’Histoire : 58 réacteurs, jusqu’à 70-80 % de notre électricité, une indépendance énergétique que le monde entier nous enviait. Dassault, Sud-Aviation, EDF, Framatome, la SNCF : nos ingénieurs étaient les meilleurs. On avait dix à vingt ans d’avance sur presque tout le monde. Puis 1981, Mitterrand. Nationalisations massives (banques, acier, chimie, électronique, aéronautique). Semaine de 39 heures. Lois Auroux. Charges sociales qui explosent. Syndicats tout-puissants. Fiscalité punitive. Droit du travail rigidifié. En moins de cinquante ans, le socialisme a transformé un pays d’ingénieurs conquérants en un pays de grèves, de délocalisations et de stagnation relative. L’industrie est passée d’environ 28 % du PIB à 11 %. Le Concorde a été abandonné. Notre nucléaire a été presque démantelé pendant des décennies faute de choix politique mortifère. Ce n’est pas le destin, c’est le prix d’une idéologie qui a préféré redistribuer et réglementer plutôt que construire et innover. A bon entendeur.

Another day, another Econ 101 lesson for Professor Warren. Her “Trumpflation” tracker conveniently ignores the Bidenflation tidal wave that crushed American families, cherry-picks wage growth by refusing to acknowledge positive real wage gains since President Trump came into office, and swaps official medical-care CPI data for premium projections when it suits her narrative. The Harvard Square inflationista is offering a statistical sleight of hand, not a serious assessment of today’s U.S. economy. Here is the full picture, including an apples-to-apples comparison of President Trump’s real economic results measured against the failed policies Senator Warren championed under Biden.

The State of Israel’s hero of the day is the Indian pilot, Capt. Smit Machchhar, whose remarkable resourcefulness enabled him to unlock the cockpit door and allow the Israeli lions to sink their teeth into the cowardly hyena who nearly killed 200 innocent people! Captain Machchhar, the State of Israel owes you a tremendous debt of gratitude. When the next Knesset convenes, I will submit a bill to name a lounge at Ben Gurion Airport in your honor! I would also like to wish you a full and speedy recovery, and extend my best wishes to your family and your wonderful parents, who taught you that saving human life is the highest value. Tonight, the State of Israel salutes you, Captain Machchhar. 🫡🇮🇱

96% of Jews in Poland were murdered by the Nazis. That is genocide. 3% of Gaza’s population, mostly male combatants, died in the war they started. That is not genocide.

Expel the Invaders Who Reject Our Laws What you are witnessing is not religious devotion. It is a territorial claim. When a group chooses to block traffic, halt commerce, and occupy public thoroughbreds for prayer, they are not exercising faith. They are exercising dominance. They are testing the limits of our tolerance, and they are finding it far too accommodating. A mosque is a private building. A street is public property. The choice to pray on the asphalt instead of inside a designated religious facility is a calculated political statement. It says, "Our rules supersede your laws. Our presence commands your submission. We do not need to ask for permission because we believe this space already belongs to us." It is a show of power, a deliberate provocation designed to normalize the idea that Islamic law can override local ordinances and American norms. They want you to believe this is about freedom of religion. It is not. Freedom of religion means you can worship wherever you want within the bounds of the law. It does not mean you can shut down a city block. It does not mean you can disrupt the lives of citizens who are trying to work, drive, or live their lives. When your "freedom" requires everyone else to stop and accommodate you, it is not freedom. It is coercion. This is the same playbook we see everywhere. First, they ask for accommodation. Then they demand special privileges. Finally, they enforce compliance through intimidation and chaos. They rely on the weakness of Western leaders who are too afraid of being called racist to enforce the law. They count on the silence of good people who are too polite to say what needs to be said. But the truth is simple. If you cannot respect our laws, if you cannot confine your religious practices to private property, and if you insist on turning our public squares into your personal sanctuaries, then you have no place here. This is America. We have laws. We have order. And we have a culture that does not surrender to demands for special treatment based on religion. The solution is not negotiation. The solution is not "understanding." The solution is expulsion. If you choose the street over the mosque, if you choose chaos over order, if you choose to impose your will on our communities, then you have made your choice. And now we must make ours. Pack your bags. The door is open, and you are free to leave. Go to a country that aligns with your values. But do not expect us to watch while you dismantle ours.

WHILE THE WORLD ARGUES, AMERICA PUT A CITY-SIZED ROCKET IN ORBIT At 7:48 this morning, while the rest of the planet was still arguing about tariffs and elections and whose fault everything is, a rocket taller than the Statue of Liberty lifted off a beach in South Texas and did something no rocket that size has ever done. It went to orbit and stayed there. That's Starship, on its fourteenth try. Thirteen times before this it flew and fell short, sometimes spectacularly, and thirteen times a certain kind of commentator declared the whole thing a billionaire's fireworks show. This morning it had an engine quit on the way up. The old way of doing things, the way of committees and cautious men, would have been to abort and study it for a year. Instead, the ship relit an engine it wasn't supposed to need, pushed itself the rest of the way to 17,500 miles an hour, and opened its doors. Out came twenty-six satellites, each one the size of a 737 when it unfolds. The company's own spokesman said the payload was worth about twenty Falcon 9 launches of bandwidth. Twenty flights' worth of internet, delivered in one morning, from one ship, and then the ship came home and splashed down in the Pacific in time for lunch. Here's what I keep coming back to. Nobody made the country do this. No five-year plan, no ministry of rockets. A bunch of engineers on a Texas beach decided the future should arrive sooner, and it did, and the rest of us got to watch it on our phones. That's not something that happens everywhere. It happens here. Every empire in history was built by whoever controlled the high ground. For a few thousand years that meant the hill above the river. Then the sea. Then the air. This morning, in the time it takes to eat breakfast, we reminded the world where the high ground is now, and who's standing on it. Argue about the rest of it. That's fine. That's what a free country does. But somebody put a city-sized rocket in orbit today, and it wasn't them.

This is your reminder that California turned a $33 billion bullet train project into a $231 billion open ended hole with no working track after 25 years. They never selected a company to make the trains, ran a $7 billion shortfall on the first segment, missed 9 federal grant conditions, And then Newsom blamed Trump for it.

In 2018, shortly after getting married, my wife and I decided it was time to do the “responsible adult” thing: sit down with a financial planner and get our long-term roadmap in order. At the time, bitcoin had already become a substantial portion of our net worth. We booked a meeting with a large, reputable advisory firm. Ten minutes into the introductory call, the reality set in: they didn’t understand bitcoin, they hadn’t done the homework, and it was clear that the immediate recommendation was going to be to “rebalance,” selling the hardest money for a generic portfolio. I did what countless Bitcoiners end up doing: I hid my bitcoin net worth from the advisor. We walked away. And looking back years later, selling our bitcoin in 2018 would have been a devastating financial mistake. For years, Bitcoiners have faced a frustrating dilemma: either deal with legacy advisors who urge you to sell, or go it alone with zero tax strategy, estate planning, or generational wealth guidance. You shouldn't have to hide your wealth from the very fiduciary hired to help protect it. That’s why I couldn’t be more excited to share my next chapter: I’m stepping in as Chief Marketing Officer at Verify Wealth. At Verify Wealth, we believe financial advice needs an upgrade. Bitcoiners deserve comprehensive, fiduciary wealth management from experts who actually speak their language, understand real custody and security, and know how to integrate bitcoin seamlessly alongside traditional assets, tax strategies, and legacy planning. We’re building the modern wealth firm for the next era of finance. If you’ve ever had to leave your bitcoin off the balance sheet when talking to a financial professional, your new home is here.
Introducing the Verify Wealth Team: @phil_geiger, CMO Phil is one of the most respected operators and educators in bitcoin. He's teaming up for the second time with Owner and Lead Advisor Jessy Gilger to scale bitcoin-native financial planning for high-conviction holders. While he won’t be advising clients directly, as CMO he’ll focus on educating people at the intersection of bitcoin and financial planning. Phil has been professionally dedicated to putting keys in as many hands as possible since 2017. That same conviction now comes to Verify Wealth: financial planning built around how bitcoin actually behaves, with privacy-first communications, coordinated tax/inheritance/custody work, and flat-fee planning that doesn’t scale with your stack.
