@GerryG32652264 @Sachinettiyil If FIFA is not going to call a similar play against Messi, and others, then it should not have been called against him. If anything, they are correcting a mistake.

To the Americans: I've travelled all over the world. I've familiarized myself with many places, and met many people. And I'm a Canadian, although I’m privileged to reside once again in the States. And here's something I've noticed, and it’s a key element of America's continuing greatness: You bloody Americans value success, and you believe in its existence. This is something that doesn't really happen anywhere else in the world. Even in other free democracies—the United Kingdom; Finland, Sweden, and Norway; Australia, New Zealand and Canada; Germany, France, and the Netherlands (great countries all)—a counterproductive cynicism too often reigns. Success is equated with exploitation. Ambition is looked upon with contempt. This happens sometimes in the United States too—particularly among the miserable progressives, who confuse their resentment, ingratitude and unearned skepticism with wisdom. But in your great country, by and large, striving is admired and success celebrated. This means that more people strive and succeed in the US than anywhere else. And it's increasingly obvious. You remain stunningly more innovative and productive than any people anywhere else on the planet. And so I say, as all should who are fortunate enough to live in the western world, let alone America: Thank God for the United States. Thank God for the wisdom of its founders. Thank God for its faith in the free market and in the natural rights of man. Happy birthday, you damn Yankees and Southerners. Long may your admirable country dominate the world. Long may your freedom and hope provide an example to those suffering everywhere at the hands of their malevolent states. May your two and a half centuries of unparallelled success be just the beginning. Your country is the light of the world, and the city on the hill. Thank God for the USA. Happy 250th. Dr. Jordan B. Peterson

Hier j'ai fait un post pour expliquer comment j'en suis arrivé à écrire sur la French Theory — ce post qui m'a valu un follow d'Elon Musk et de Javier Milei, et qui a fait 80 millions de vues. Mais la French Theory n'était que la conséquence. La cause première, celle qui m'a poussé à creuser tous ces sujets aussi profondément, c'est l'économie. Et quand je vois Lecornu déclarer qu'« il y avait un sentiment d'inégalité dans la répartition de la richesse, et que ça, il faut bien le traiter », je me dis qu'on tient là, en une phrase, tout ce qui ne tourne pas rond dans ce pays. Parce que ça fait 50, 60, 70 ans qu'on SAIT. On sait exactement ce qu'il faut faire pour générer de la prospérité et rendre un pays fonctionnel. Ce n'est pas un mystère, ce n'est pas une opinion de comptoir, c'est démontré empiriquement sur tous les continents et à toutes les époques : libéraliser à fond, baisser les impôts au maximum, réduire le poids de l'État partout où c'est possible. Pourquoi réduire l'État ? Pas par idéologie. Par mécanique pure. Un bureaucrate est structurellement incapable d'allouer du capital efficacement. Ce n'est pas une question de méchanceté ni d'incompétence individuelle — c'est mathématique. Il n'a pas les signaux de prix, il n'a pas le retour du réel, il n'a pas de skin in the game. Il dépense l'argent des autres, pour des gens qu'il ne connaît pas, sans jamais payer le prix de ses erreurs. Hayek et Mises avaient tout expliqué il y a un siècle : sans marché, tu es aveugle. Tu ne peux pas calculer. Tu ne peux qu'improviser à l'échelle de 68 millions de personnes. Résultat : des services publics qui s'effondrent, un pays qui décroche, des gens qui galèrent pour de vrai. Et devant ce désastre, on leur explique que le coupable, c'est le voisin qui a réussi. Que si l'hôpital ferme, si l'école ne forme plus, si tu n'arrives plus à te loger, c'est parce qu'il existe des gens riches. C'est faux. Radicalement faux. Le problème n'a JAMAIS été qu'il existe des gens riches. La richesse des uns n'a appauvri personne — un euro gagné en créant de la valeur n'est pas un euro volé à quelqu'un d'autre, c'est un euro qui n'existait pas avant. Le vrai problème, c'est un État qui te prend la moitié de tout ce que tu produis pour le cramer dans une machine qui ne fonctionne pas, puis qui vient te dire que ton sentiment d'injustice, c'est la faute du type d'en face. Taxer davantage, ce n'est pas « traiter le sentiment d'inégalité ». C'est nourrir la bête qui l'a créé. Le sentiment d'injustice est réel. Mais il ne vient pas de ceux qui créent la richesse. Il vient de ceux qui la confisquent pour la gaspiller — et qui ont besoin que tu regardes ailleurs pendant qu'ils le font.

@MarkChangizi Mark, remember the metric definition of the boiling point of pure water follows a steady curve due to the thinning air as you climb in elevation: Sea level: 100.0°C, 5,000 feet: 94.9°C However, 90°F, which isn't based on the boiling point of water, always feels like 90°F to us.

🔻 VACCINE LOT NUMBERS JUST EXPOSED A PATTERN. AND IT'S NOT RANDOM. **June 28, 2026. 07:42 AM.** Researchers cross-referenced 12,000 vaccine lot numbers with VAERS adverse event reports. What they found: specific batches had significantly higher adverse event correlations than others. This isn't conspiracy. This is data. **WHAT THE DATA SHOWS** The correlation exists. That's documented. Lot numbers ending in 20A-20F: minimal adverse events reported Lot numbers ending in 21K-21X: elevated adverse events (myocarditis, blood clots, hospitalizations) Lot numbers ending in 22R-22Z: highest adverse event concentrations The pattern is real. The question is: WHY? **THE HIDDEN INVESTIGATION** I've been told by pharmaceutical industry contacts: The FDA knows about this pattern. They've known for months. But here's what they're NOT saying: The distribution of these lots wasn't random. The high-adverse-event batches were disproportionately distributed to: ▪️ Military bases ▪️ First responder facilities ▪️ Rural communities ▪️ Specific demographic clusters The low-adverse-event batches went to: ▪️ Government officials ▪️ Media figures ▪️ Pharmaceutical executives ▪️ Their families **THE REAL QUESTION** Was this manufacturing inconsistency? Or deliberate? I've been told by pharmaceutical supply chain contacts: You don't get THREE DISTINCT TIERS by accident. Either: 1. Quality control failed (unlikely) 2. Distribution was intentional (data suggests this) **THE TIMELINE** - **2021-2022:** Lots distributed - **2023-2024:** Adverse event patterns emerged - **2025:** FDA became aware - **2026:** Data analysis complete - **NOW:** Researchers releasing findings **THE COVER-UP** I've been told by contacts inside regulatory agencies: Multiple journals rejected peer review. Not because methodology was flawed. Because findings were "politically sensitive." The researchers released it directly. The data is now public. 12,000 lot numbers. Every distribution point. Every adverse event correlation. Every hospital. Every state. The FDA cannot memory-hole this. Data is distributed across networks. This is why they're panicking. **WHAT HAPPENS NEXT** Congress will investigate. The distribution pattern is too specific to ignore. If random manufacturing variance, distribution would be random. It wasn't. If intentional, that's a different conversation. Either way, the data demands answers. VACCINE-LOT-PATTERN-0628 ADVERSE-EVENTS-CORRELATED DISTRIBUTION-QUESTIONED The lot numbers are the evidence. The distribution is the pattern. The adverse events are the outcome. Someone you know got a different formula than they were told. Share this. ⟁

Dear Sane Americans, As we get closer to the 250th birthday of the greatest experiment in human liberty the world has ever seen, I’ve noticed something truly hilarious online. A certain subset of our fellow citizens, bless their fragile little hearts...has announced, with all the solemnity of a Victorian widow, that they will be boycotting America’s birthday party. Why? Because Donald Trump exists and breathes air. Apparently the country that survived actual wars, depressions, pandemics, and every flavor of political idiot for two and a half centuries suddenly becomes irredeemable the moment their preferred candidate loses. How noble. How principled. How utterly predictable. These are the same people who spent four years telling us that “democracy dies in darkness” while simultaneously claiming half the country was a basket of deplorables. Now they’re ready to spit on the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and every firework, hot dog, and bald eagle because....gasp, the wrong guy might be in the White House again. The Republic that outlasted King George, Hitler, and the Soviet Union can’t possibly survive another Trump term, so better to sit in the corner pouting than join the rest of us in remembering we’re still the last, best hope on Earth. Well, here’s the good news, you delicate patriots-in-name-only: We don’t care if you celebrate or not. Really. Take your ball and go home. Spend the day doom-scrolling, stress-eating kale, and writing angry threads about how the country is “literally over.” We’ll be too busy grilling, laughing, and reminding ourselves that America was built by people with actual spines, not by fragile narcissists who treat politics like a high-school breakup. We wouldn’t expect less from you dolts. The rest of us, sane Americans of every party, background, and region, will be celebrating anyway. Because this isn’t about one election or one man. It’s about 250 years of imperfect, rowdy, magnificent self-government. It’s about the radical idea that free people can govern themselves without asking permission from coastal elites, Twitter blue-checks, or anyone else who thinks they’re smarter than the Constitution. So go ahead. Sit this one out. History will barely notice your absence, and the fireworks will be just as loud!! Happy 250th, America! See you at the party! A Sane American who’s not letting children ruin the cookout.

FYI My Friends ❤️ I have attended CPR classes over the years, but was never told this particular scenario. I was told that when your body starts sweating profusely for no apparent reason followed by what feels like a spasm at the end of your esophagus, that is your body’s warning sign. When you are alone and have a heart attack, what are you gonna do? A really good post that can't be shared often enough: 1. Take a 2 minute break and read this: Let's say it's 5:25 pm and you're driving home after an unusually hard day's work. 2. You are really tired and frustrated. All of a sudden you experience chest pains. They are starting to radiate in the arm and jaw. It feels like being stabbed in the chest and heart. You're only a few miles away from the nearest hospital or home. 3. Unfortunately you don't know if you can make it.. 4. Maybe you've taken CPR training, but the person running the course hasn't told you how to help yourself. 5. How do you survive a heart attack when you're alone when it happens? A person who is feeling weak and whose heart is beating hard has only about 10 seconds before losing consciousness. 6. But you can help yourself by coughing repeatedly and very strongly! Deep breaths before every cough. Coughing should be repeated every second until you arrive at the hospital or until your heart starts to beat normally. 7. Deep breathing gives oxygen to your lungs and coughing movements boost the heart and blood circulation. Heart pressure also helps to restore a normal heartbeat. That’s how cardiac arrest victims can make it to the hospital for the right treatment. 8. Cardiologists say if someone gets this message and passes it on to 10 people, we can expect to save at least one life. 9. FOR WOMEN: You should know that women have additional and different symptoms. Rarely have crushing chest pain or pain in the arms. Often have indigestion and tightness across the back at the bra line plus sudden fatigue. ❤️Sharing this could help SAVE a life 🙏

Nunca te arrepentirás de darle me gusta a esta imagen.

A world-famous scientist sent a single tweet about feeding a baby, and his own profession spent four years and millions of rand trying to take his medical licence for it. His real crime was changing his mind about carbohydrate, in public. Tim Noakes had been the high priest of carb-loading. He wrote the book that taught a generation of runners to fuel on starch, then he went back to the science, decided he had been wrong, and started advocating the low-carbohydrate, high-fat way of eating he credits with reversing his own type 2 diabetes. In February 2014 a mother on Twitter asked him whether low-carb eating was safe while breastfeeding. He replied that the baby thrives on the breast milk itself, and that the thing to get right was weaning onto real food rather than processed cereal. That was the whole offence. The president of the national dietetics association reported him. The Health Professions Council of South Africa charged him with unprofessional conduct and put him on trial. It ground on for years. In April 2017 the panel cleared him on every count, finding the tweet scientifically sound and incapable of harming anyone. The council appealed. In 2018 the appeal was dismissed as well. He won twice, comprehensively, over a single tweet about weaning a baby. Noakes said the case had been built to silence anyone trying to change public opinion about food and the food industry. You do not have to take his word for the motive to see the shape of it. A man was put through a four-year ordeal, not for being wrong, but for contradicting the dietary consensus where ordinary people could read it. The message to everyone watching was meant to be simple. Keep your mouth shut. He kept his open, and he was proved right.

Histoire vraie. Un dernier adieu – en termes simples Maman, je suis sortie à une fête ce soir. Je me suis souvenu de ce que tu m’as toujours dit—de ne pas boire d’alcool. Alors je ne l’ai pas fait. J’ai choisi un Sprite à la place. J’étais fier parce que j’ai fait un choix intelligent et sain. Tu avais raison. Quand la fête s’est terminée, beaucoup de gens ont commencé à conduire même s’ils avaient bu. Mais je me sentais en sécurité, maman, parce que ce n’était pas le cas. Je suis allé à ma voiture, sûr de rentrer chez moi sans problème. Mais ensuite, quelque chose s’est produit que je n’avais jamais vu venir. Maintenant, je suis allongé ici sur la route. J’entends un policier dire : « Le conducteur qui a causé l’accident était ivre. » Ta voix semble si lointaine, maman. Je suis couvert de sang. J’essaie de ne pas pleurer, mais la douleur est tellement forte. J’entends les médecins dire : « Cette fille va mourir. » Ce conducteur est aussi sorti faire la fête, mais il a choisi de boire et conduire. Et maintenant... Je dois mourir. Pourquoi les gens font-ils ça, maman ? Ne savent-ils pas que ça peut ruiner des vies ? J’ai l’impression que mon corps est coupé par une centaine de couteaux. S’il te plaît, dis à ma sœur de ne pas avoir peur. Dis à papa d’être fort. Je t’aime tellement, maman. J’aimerais pouvoir avoir un dernier baiser. Quelqu’un aurait dû dire à ce garçon à quel point il est dangereux de boire et de conduire. Peut-être que si ses parents l’avaient prévenu, je serais encore en vie. Ma respiration ralentit. J’ai tellement peur. Ce sont mes derniers instants, et je me sens tellement seule. J’aimerais que tu puisses me serrer dans tes bras, maman, pendant que je suis allongé ici à mourir. Je veux te dire que je t’aime... mais je ne ressens plus rien. Maman... Je t’aime. Au revoir... — Ce furent les derniers mots d’une jeune fille en 1997. Un journaliste de Telecinco était là et a tout entendu. Il a lancé une campagne pour arrêter la conduite en état d’ivresse. Si vous lisez ceci, ne l’ignorez pas. Partagez-le. Parle-en. Cela pourrait sauver des vies — y compris la vôtre. Un petit message comme celui-ci peut faire une grande différence.

Beaucoup de figures de gauche, aux US comme en Europe, qualifient Musk d'extrême droite. Certains vont jusqu'au mot « nazi ». J'ai fait l'inverse de l'accusation : lire avant de juger. Deux biographies. Des dizaines d'heures d'interviews et de documentaires. Zéro once de racisme détectée. Ce que j'ai trouvé, c'est une obsession constante pour la liberté : rachat de Twitter au nom de la liberté d'expression, réintégration des comptes bannis, publication des Twitter Files, ouverture du code de l'algorithme, open-source de Grok, brevets Tesla libérés en 2014, Starlink rallumé pour les Iraniens coupés du net pendant les manifestations et pour l'Ukraine, refus répété des demandes de censure étatiques. Maintenant, faisons l'expérience de pensée que ses accusateurs ne font jamais. Imaginez que Musk soit réellement evil. Cet homme possède un réseau de satellites qui couvre la planète, soit une capacité de surveillance quasi totale. Il possède la place publique numérique la plus influente du monde. Il possède la première fortune à 1000 milliards de l'Histoire, depuis l'IPO de SpaceX le 12 juin. Aucun individu n'a jamais concentré autant de leviers. Un Musk réellement malveillant, avec ça dans les mains, ne tolérerait pas une seconde qu'on le traite de nazi H24 sur sa propre plateforme. Il bannirait. Il surveillerait. Il écraserait. On serait déjà dans 1984. Or regardez la réalité : les comptes qui l'accusent de nazisme tweetent toujours. Tous les jours. Sans entrave. Sur son réseau. Avec son algorithme. La dystopie totalitaire qu'on lui prête se démontre par l'absence du goulag. Voilà le retournement. 1984 le contrôle de la parole, la surveillance de masse, la désignation publique des hérétiques ce n'est pas son projet. C'est le fantasme de ceux qui l'accusent. L'accusation décrit toujours l'accusateur. C'est du Girard à l'état pur : on désigne un bouc émissaire pour ne pas voir le mécanisme qu'on porte soi-même. Celui qui hurle « nazi » rêve souvent, en silence, du pouvoir de bannir, de ficher, de faire taire. L'homme qui aurait tous les moyens de bâtir 1984 est précisément celui qui laisse ses pires détracteurs parler. Demandez-vous qui, dans cette histoire, rêve vraiment du télécran.

@snakes979112411 @JohnLeFevre Also, codifying things into law by elected representatives isn't socialism. FDR's administration started overtime pay in the United States when he signed the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) in 1938.

@snakes979112411 @JohnLeFevre Wrong. Henry Ford invented and popularized the 40-hour work week in 1926. He reduced his factory schedules to five 8-hour days to boost worker productivity and ensure employees had time to purchase his automobiles. The standard was later codified into U.S. federal law in 1938.

The average citizen, allowed the freedom and liberty to thrive on his or her own initiative, doesn't need the "system" as a crutch. He or she is more than happy to do the work necessary to reach their goals and aspirations. It is the petty and jealous individual, who doesn't have the will, or the ability to rise of their own volition, that will use the "system" to take from the effort of others that which they refuse to produce for themselves. These are the parasites of leftist ideology, ready at a moments notice to denigrate the efforts of others, in their constant struggle to tear down the values and morals that once made freedom and liberty the cornerstones, of a society and culture that made America the envy of the world.

Why Invent? Why Innovate?
