New York, branded the city that never sleeps, is really the city that never works.
Despite astronomical tax rates, New York infrastructure and services are pathetic. They said taxing the rich would fix this lol. Another communist lie.
Bannon was saying all this DSA stuff was coming, back in 2018. People dismissed these warnings, as he was "too soon." In our dumb ass world, if something doesn't happen immediately, then it's "wrong." Well. It's 2026. Update?
A retired police sergeant in Plano Texas warns about the Mosque command and control centre in the Muslim only community they have built thyere.
They are getting armed and ready for their 'sharia compliant' life in the USA, which also means not just building a segregated and parallel community, but also an economy.
USA please wake up before its too late!!!!
Ethereum Institutional @ethereuminsti will play a central and key role as a neutral entity bringing institutional adoption to ethereum ethereum:native
In their words…
“What’s been missing for Ethereum to date is a neutral counterpart on the other side of the table: a guide that convenes the full ecosystem around shared standards, connects institutions within the ecosystem to solutions / infrastructure providers and applications, and removes integration friction, from first pilot through scaled production.”
Bitmine @BitMNR is glad to support this effort $BMNR
🚨🗞️NEW: Crypto's Bear Market Hasn't Scared Off Wall Street as the Race for Clarity Continues
Wall Street is looking beyond the bear market, law enforcement groups continue to meet on Clarity, while Trump’s crypto profits draw criticism from Senate Dems.
https://t.co/7vpiBYzU8J
JUST IN: 🇺🇸 SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce on the Clarity Act: "I'm still optimistic it will get done this summer."
"I expect that we'll see it pass soon." 🚀
THIS SATURDAY, JULY 4. 🗓
US SENATE WILL RELEASE THE FINAL TEXT FOR THE CLARITY ACT BEFORE FLOOR VOTE.. 📃 🇺🇸
I EXPECTED THE SENATE FLOOR VOTE WILL TAKE PLACE JULY 20 - 30. 🗳
The Clarity Act has 16+ illicit finance safeguards, not loopholes:
✅ Sec 201: BSA/AML applies to crypto
✅ Sec 303: new sanctions to hit Iran
✅ Sec 305: exchanges can freeze dirty money
If you don’t like crypto, then say it, but stop these baseless attacks.
The US Constitution was the most important political innovation ever, but it's missing two important things:
1) A cap on the growth of government spending
2) A requirement for hard-backed currency
Without them, every democracy drifts toward more debt and eventual loss of reserve currency status (see The Changing World Order). The US is $39T in debt, and adding $1T roughly every 100 days, with interest payments now exceeding the defense budget. There is no mechanism to stop it.
Politicians get elected by promising free stuff using other people's money. Some voters get a benefit today, while the negative impact of the spending goes to future generations who can't vote yet. The incentive structure is broken.
What fixes it? A new constitution somewhere on the frontier (Mars, special economic zones, cyberspace), an amendment that aligns incentives in the current system (politically challenging), or hyper economic growth (AI + robotics + crypto) to outpace inflation.
Our Founding Fathers created the most innovative economy in human history because they believed free people build better things. Digital assets are proof that spirit is still alive.
Katie Couric: "14% [is] such a low percentage of 400k people."
Rand Paul: "If your daughter gets r*ped & he's one of the 14%, I don't think you're gonna quibble about whether it's 14 or 64."
#CLARITYAct will it actually pass by July 4th?
BlackRock's Joseph Chalom just put the odds at sub-50% for that deadline, but stays optimistic it lands by year-end if not before August recess.
His sharper point: if the US stalls, Asia won't wait. He's been to Korea and Hong Kong 4x in 9 months and expects local regulators there to pass their own frameworks first, possibly leapfrogging the US.
CLARITY Act Will Do For Crypto What GENIUS Did For Stablecoins
White House Executive Director Patrick Witt (@patrickjwitt) said clear crypto regulation is already delivering results.
He argued the GENIUS Act accelerated stablecoin development and said the CLARITY Act could unlock similar growth across the broader digital asset market.
"What GENIUS did for stablecoins, the Clarity Act will do for all other digital assets," he said.
Witt cited the recent development about BlackRock, Stripe, Visa And Coinbase backing new stablecoin. A consortium of more than 140 companies has unveiled Open USD, a new stablecoin developed by Open Standard.
.@AlanDersh: "Birthright citizenship is the dumbest idea ever conceived of anybody... Almost no other country in the world has it... The problem is the wording of the Constitution. It's dumb, but it's there."
