    Failure of the CLARITY Act does not stop the tokenization train, but it will slow it down. The SEC and CFTC will now write the rules by exemption, no-action letter, and enforcement discretion. The GENIUS Act provided the settlement layer in 2025, and the banks have already caved to tokenization. The stock markets are already being tokenized.

    With the national price of diesel hitting $6.05 as California hits $8.00 per gallon, one wonders what will happen to the trucking industry that delivers the goods across America. Labor is the largest expense for trucking, so many trucking companies are planning to switch to autonomous trucks. In the meantime, a slew of independent trucking companies are biting the dust.

    Man-made climate change was the con job of the ages. Remember when Vice President Al Gore was braying in 2009 that the polar ice caps would be ice-free in 5 to 7 years? Organizations like the Club of Rome picked up and pushed that trope as far back as 1972, just as the Trilateral Commission was being conceived by David Rockefeller and Zbigniew Brzezinski. They fed it to the United Nations in 1974, where it became a mainstay of Agenda 21, 2030 Agenda, and Sustainable Development. All bunk. ⁃

    Why the AI Capability Multiplier Has Compressed to 3.1 Months From 3.5
    I have been tracking the progress of AI since January 2025, since Trump’s inauguration. Initially, starting at one, I pegged the doubling factor at 3.5 months; then I adjusted it lower to 3.3 on August 17th. After further research, I am settling it back to 3.1, which is 13.43 weeks. This is the time it takes for AI to double in raw ability, breadth, and the ability to create useful work.
    Today, that number stands at 52. Think about it. AI is 52 times more capable today than 20 months ago.
