Milton Friedman:
“In the long run, government will spend whatever the tax system will raise, plus as much more as it can get away with. That’s what history tells us.”
“So my view has always been: cut taxes on any occasion, for any reason, in any way that’s politically feasible, as the only way to keep down the size of government.”

Pour comprendre ce qui se passe, il faut revenir trente-cinq ans en arrière.
Le mur tombe. L'Occident pense avoir gagné l'Histoire. Fukuyama annonce la fin des conflits idéologiques, et une génération de dirigeants européens en tire une conclusion folle : les nations, les frontières, les cultures, tout ça appartient au passé. L'avenir, c'est un grand marché sans visage, géré par des experts, des traités et des commissions que personne n'a élus.
Maastricht en 1992. L'euro. La désindustrialisation assumée, parce qu'on peut tout produire en Chine et que les usines sont ringardes. L'immigration de masse érigée en politique, sans jamais demander l'avis des peuples. Et quand les peuples disent non, comme en 2005 au référendum sur la Constitution européenne, on passe outre et on fait voter la même chose par le Parlement trois ans plus tard.
Pendant ce temps, dans les universités, une autre machine tourne. Une idéologie qui enseigne aux enfants que leur civilisation est coupable, que leur histoire est une honte, que le mérite est une oppression et que l'ordre est une violence. Elle sort des campus, elle colonise les médias, les administrations, les grandes entreprises. C'est ce qu'Elon appelle le woke mind virus.
Le résultat, on l'a sous les yeux. Une classe dirigeante hors sol qui parle à Davos et ne sait plus parler à Lorient. Un État obèse qui prélève tout et ne protège plus rien. Une dette qui explose. Des services publics qui s'effondrent. Et une partie de la jeunesse qui filme en rigolant un pompier en train de brûler.
Voilà l'aboutissement du projet globaliste. Et maintenant, trois issues.
La première, c'est 1984. Le système sent qu'il perd le contrôle, alors il serre la vis. Identité numérique obligatoire, monnaie numérique de banque centrale, censure des réseaux au nom de la lutte contre la désinformation, surveillance algorithmique de chaque échange. On ne règle aucun problème de fond, on interdit simplement d'en parler. C'est la voie que Bruxelles prépare déjà avec le DSA. Un ordre sans liberté.
La deuxième, c'est la libanisation. Le système n'arrive même plus à contrôler. L'État se retire morceau par morceau. Des quartiers entiers passent sous d'autres lois. Les hôpitaux ferment, la police ne vient plus, l'électricité devient incertaine, les communautés s'arment et se replient sur elles-mêmes. Le pays ne meurt pas d'un coup, il se fragmente. Le Liban était la Suisse du Moyen-Orient. Il a suffi de quelques années.
La troisième, c'est le rebond. Le retour de l'ordre. L'Union européenne telle qu'on la connaît se disloque, les nations reprennent leur souveraineté, et vient le temps des comptes. Un Nuremberg du communisme et de tous ceux qui ont mené ce continent dans le mur en toute connaissance de cause.
Et je pense que cette troisième voie est de loin la plus probable. Pour une raison simple que personne ne veut voir.
La France est une puissance nucléaire. Elle a des sous-marins lanceurs d'engins, près de trois cents têtes, un siège permanent au Conseil de sécurité de l'ONU. Jamais les États-Unis ne laisseront un arsenal pareil tomber dans les mains du chaos intégral. Jamais. Washington peut tolérer une France faible, une France arrogante, une France qui donne des leçons. Il ne tolérera jamais une France libanisée avec la bombe.
Ce qui veut dire que le scénario du chaos total a un plafond. Il y a un point au-delà duquel la plus grande puissance du monde interviendra, d'une manière ou d'une autre, pour que l'ordre revienne. Et l'Amérique d'aujourd'hui n'est plus celle d'Obama. C'est celle qui a décidé de détruire le woke mind virus. Avec Elon, qui réussit tout ce qu'il entreprend. Les fusées réutilisables, les voitures électriques, Starlink, le rachat de Twitter que tout le monde disait impossible. Il ne parle pas, il exécute.
En face, qu'est-ce qu'il y a ? De la fausse intelligence. L'apparence de l'intelligence. Macron en est l'incarnation parfaite : un produit de communication. Retirez-lui ses conseillers, ses éléments de langage, ses mises en scène, et il ne reste personne. Mettez-le devant un tableau blanc avec un vrai problème à résoudre, il ne saurait même pas par où commencer. Un système entier dirigé par des gens qui savent paraître, et plus aucun qui sait faire.
Ce système tient sur l'illusion. Et les illusions finissent toujours par tomber.
Alors oui, j'ai de l'espoir. Je crois que toute cette fraude va s'effondrer. Et je crois que juste après, viendra une renaissance. Celle des bâtisseurs, des ingénieurs, des entrepreneurs, des gens qui se lèvent le matin pour construire. Ceux qui font, pas ceux qui paraissent.
L'Europe s'est déjà relevée de ses cendres. Après Rome, après la peste, après deux guerres mondiales. Elle le refera.
Et cette fois, on sera là pour la reconstruire.

A critical piece of America’s drone supply chain is coming home.
Vulcan Elements has been competitively selected by the U.S. Army to supply high-performance rare magnets for SkyFoundry — the Army’s vertically integrated initiative to produce one million drones per year in the United States. Our magnets will help power the brushless direct current motors at the heart of these systems.
Vulcan was chosen after providing data sheets that matched the high-performance specifications required by the Army. A key requirement was “a fully domestic, vertically integrated manufacturing process.” The Army also required multiple evaluations of Vulcan’s capability and past performance by current customers.
The award marks Vulcan’s 10th Pentagon contract since 2024 and reflects our capability to manufacture high-performance magnets for some of the country’s most critical technologies.
As small drone systems become even more critical on the modern battlefield, we’re committed to ensuring that our military can manufacture them without having to ask for permission. This isn’t just a manufacturing challenge; it’s a national security imperative.

Brownsville, Texas is where American ships go to die. The port hosts most of the country's shipbreaking industry, the yards that cut retired Navy vessels into scrap. A 4-year-old startup just picked that exact port to spend $3.2 billion building ships again.
The location choice tells you how bad the starting point is. A leaked Office of Naval Intelligence slide put annual US shipbuilding capacity under 100,000 tons. China's sits at 23.2 million. The Navy Secretary told Congress in 2023 that a single Chinese shipyard out-builds the entire American industry.
Saronic's bet is that you can't close a 232x gap by retrofitting old yards, so they refused to. Port Alpha starts greenfield on 835 acres designed around robotics and software-defined production, expandable to 4,400 acres, capable of 850-foot vessels at opening in 2028 and 1,200-foot ships after that. Their Louisiana yard already produces a 180-foot autonomous vessel that went from design to launch in under a year.
Autonomy is the manufacturing unlock. Strip out crew quarters, life support, and a galley, and a warship stops being a bespoke floating city. It becomes a product you can mass produce.
The timing stopped being theoretical this week: Saronic's sea drones saw US combat use for the first time.
Twenty miles up the road, SpaceX builds Starship. Cameron County spent decades as one of the poorest counties in the country. It now hosts the rocket factory and the shipyard America forgot how to build.
Today, we're proud to announce the future home of Port Alpha: Brownsville, Texas.
Our next-generation shipyard moves from vision to reality through a planned investment of more than $3 billion to establish one of the world's most advanced shipyards, built for software-defined shipbuilding and autonomous maritime systems.
Port Alpha is expected to generate more than $160 billion in regional economic impact for Cameron County and $264.5 billion for the State of Texas, while creating up to 10,000 direct jobs — which makes it one of the largest economic development projects in modern Texas history.
More than a shipyard, Port Alpha represents a new model for American shipbuilding — combining advanced manufacturing, software-defined production, and autonomy at unprecedented scale. We're proud to continue building in Texas.

Proud to partner with @ucore to build an integrated rare earth magnet supply chain in the United States. Beginning this year, Ucore will supply Vulcan with light and heavy rare earths, leading to a long-term commercial supply agreement starting in 2027. Ucore intends to make a portion of its Louisiana Strategic Metals Complex capacity available to Vulcan.
Vulcan is restoring the rare earth ecosystem and securing American magnet independence. 100% of Vulcan's material and equipment is sourced from the United States and its core allies, ensuring that America has an independent and resilient supply chain for the most critical commercial technologies and for our national security.
As Vulcan's CEO @_JohnMaslin put it: “Since its inception, Vulcan Elements’ mission has been to build a domestic rare earth magnet supply chain that can propel America into the 21st century and enable the next era of innovation and national security. Vulcan’s partnership with Ucore is a milestone for both companies, and for the United States of America. Together, we’re rebuilding a core industry that is critical for economic growth and national security.”

We’re excited to share that @LockheedMartin has joined us on our mission to mass-produce portable nuclear reactors. This strategic investment further oversubscribes Radiant’s current financing round and adds decades of defense expertise to our team of investors and partners.
Lockheed Martin's investment, combined with the almost half a billion dollars we raised last year, reflects our relentless focus on the mission and deepening confidence from both financial and strategic partners in our commercialization strategy.
Today's news comes one week after our PDSA was approved by @ENERGY, six weeks since we became the first nuclear startup to generate electric power, seven weeks since we announced our Series D, two months since our first pressure vessel arrived at our headquarters in El Segundo, and a little over three months since we announced we'll build our first factory in Oak Ridge, Tennessee.
All this comes ahead of startup of our first reactor this summer at @NRICnuclear's DOME facility at @INL.

German Chancellor Merz admits:
Both Germany and Europe have wasted incredible potential for growth in recent years by dragging their feet on reforms and by unnecessarily and excessively curtailing entrepreneurial freedom and personal responsibility.
We must substantially reduce bureaucracy in Europe. The single market was once created to form the most competitive economic area in the world.
Instead, we have become the world champion of overregulation. That has to end.
