Tout le monde sait que Donald Trump est un narcissique, avec un « n » minuscule. Le Narcisse majuscule de la mythologie grecque tomba amoureux de son propre reflet dans un étang, tomba à l'eau et se noya. Trump a simplement une image démesurée de lui-même.

Ou, si nous choisissons d'exagérer un peu, juste pour pimenter l'histoire, on pourrait dire qu'il souffre d'un trouble de la personnalité narcissique (NPD), un trouble mental caractérisé par un comportement grandiose à long terme, un besoin intense d'être admiré et un profond manque d'empathie.

C'est le timing, et non la précipitation, qui détermine ce qui va se passer ensuite. −Thomas Sowell

Minneapolis, la plaie béante sur le corps politique américain, bénéficie cette semaine d'un répit de la part de Gawda'mighty, qui fait baisser la température en dessous de zéro afin que les nez percés d'ICE-Watch puissent se terrer dans leurs motels payés par Soros, jouer à League of Legends avec leurs nuggets Chick-fil-A livrés par DoorDash et se reposer pour la prochaine manche de leur révolution hétéroclite.

ICE assiégée à Minneapolis

Ne soyez pas trop surpris si, plus tard dans la journée, vendredi, le président invoque la loi sur l'insurrection pour tranquilliser la ville de Minneapolis, car la pulvérisation aérienne d'olanzapine est probablement hors de question.

Derrière le théâtre politique que représente la «fracture entre les États-Unis et l'Europe», se cache une campagne agressive de consolidation du pouvoir américain sur ses nombreux mandataires, notamment sur l'Europe elle-même.

Les récits qui circulent dans les médias occidentaux dépeignent les États-Unis comme un pays qui défie ou menace non seulement l'Europe pour le contrôle du territoire danois du Groenland, mais aussi le Canada en Amérique du Nord.

«Le gouvernement X fait de mauvaises choses» et «par conséquent, les États-Unis devraient renverser le gouvernement X par la force» sont deux affirmations totalement différentes. Les propagandistes persistent à les présenter comme une seule et même affirmation, comme si la seconde découlait naturellement de la première, et je constate que beaucoup trop de gens acceptent cette manipulation sans la remettre en question.

Les actions de l'administration Trump dans de nombreux domaines contribuent à l'effritement des principes constitutionnels fondamentaux des États-Unis.

En matière de politique étrangère, on considère que la stabilité intérieure est une condition essentielle au bon déroulement des relations avec les puissances étrangères.

For the past month, Americans have been wondering whether President Trump will attack Iran, or whether the massive military build-up in the Middle East is just another bluff. President Trump claims that the decision is his alone to make.

Thus far, President Trump has made little effort to explain to the American people - or to Congress - why launching a war against Iran is in our national interest.

Severely limiting governments is essential to make our work pay for what we want.

Progressives are good at creating unworkable schemes, and they're good at messaging to help hold these schemes in place.

Conservatives are bad at repealing Progressives' schemes, and they're bad at explaining the benefits of freedom. These weaknesses of conservatives make complex schemes much harder to unravel than they otherwise would be.

An amusing bit of Internet slang that I began hearing some years ago was the acronym "NPC."

NPC stood for "Non-Player Character," a video-game reference to the very large number of characters who do not represent participants but are instead generated automatically by the software system itself. These constitute the background wallpaper for the humans who are actually playing the game, and are therefore always rather robotic and simplistic in their actions and responses.

The United States is the very last government on earth who has any business engaging in humanitarian interventionism. Literally dead last.

"Government X does bad things" and "therefore the US should forcibly overthrow Government X" are two completely different claims. Propagandists keep acting like they're the same claim and like the second claim naturally follows the first, and I'm seeing far too many people accepting this manipulation without question.

In last month's Future of Freedom article, I explained how the 2016 presidential election made "post-truth" become the Oxford English Dictionary's word of the year. Americans felt forced to choose between two candidates that most voters despised. The political system's credibility plummeted in the 2016 campaign.

But the 2016 election was actually far more corrupt than it appeared at the time.

The weekend has passed without a U.S. attack on Iran.

Trump would have probably liked to strike if there had been a decent chance of a short, successful war. But there was and is none. Iran would retaliate sharply for any attack and set the region on fire.

A early sharp strike would have been Trump's best chance of success. The longer he is deterred from a strike the smaller the likelihood that any attack will occur at all.

Le président américain a vivement réagi, le 2 février, à une plaisanterie de l'animateur sud-africain Trevor Noah lors de la cérémonie des Grammy Awards à Los Angeles. Sur son réseau Truth Social, Trump a dénoncé des propos qu'il juge diffamatoires, nié tout lien avec l'île de Jeffrey Epstein et menacé l'humoriste de poursuites judiciaires.

Do illegal immigrants have the right to stay in America, or can they be deported ? Of course, they do not have such a right. Furthermore, as Brion McClanahan of the Abbeville Institute has pointed out, the Supreme Court has in numerous cases ruled that control of immigration is a federal matter, not one under state jurisdiction. You can argue that these precedents are wrong, but that is the law as it exists today.

Oil price has been thought to correlate with US aggression abroad; expensive energy impacts the US negatively, and cheaper, more plentiful oil is a positive. It has been why we fought. This was the foundation of the Carter Doctrine, from Jimmy Carter's own words:

Substitute Soviet for Russia and China, and Donald Trump probably posted the same thing on Truth Social 50 times last year, using ALL CAPS.

The Technical State

When conducting an insurrection of a regime, the head of state and his legislative buildings do not matter. In the history of successful revolutions, as well as failed revolutions, the technical structure of the country is the key. The American military can capture the president, but when the energy, transport, internet, telephone, and other technical structures and industries remain in the hands of the government, then regime change is impossible because the state was untouched.

It is good to be cautious when Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) proclaims he is promoting "common sense" ideas. But, looking at a listing of some of what he on Wednesday called "common-sense reforms, ones that Americans know and expect from law enforcement," that Senate Democrats want imposed for the United States government's immigration enforcement efforts, it seems that Schumer and his party caucus are putting forward some promising ideas.

Perhaps the most discouraging condition of the modern age is the absolute breakdown in communication among members of society. It once seemed reasonable to expect that the Internet and social media might aid in our understanding of each other. Instead, online forums are filled with people who speak the same language but interpret words entirely differently.
