DEI killed the CHIPS Act

March 7, 20241/2Insanity

DEI—the identity-obsessed dogma that goes by “diversity, equity, and inclusion”—has now trained Google’s new AI to refuse to draw white people. What’s even more alarming is that it’s also infected the supply chain that makes the chips powering everything from AI to missiles, endangering national security.

The Biden administration recently promised it will finallyloosen the purse strings on $39 billion of CHIPS Act grantsto encourage semiconductor fabrication in the United States. But less than a week later,Intel announced it’s putting the brakes on its Columbus factory. The Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company(TSMC) pushed back production at its second Arizona foundry(called a fab). The remaining majorchipmaker, Samsung, just delayed its firstTexas fab. This is not the way companies typically respond to multi-billion-dollar subsidies.

What explains chipmakers’ ingratitude? In large part, frustration with DEI. Commentators have noted that CHIPS and Science Act money has been sluggish. What they haven’t noticed is that it’s because theCHIPS Act is so loaded with DEI pork that it can’t move.

TheAct contains 19 sections aimed at helping minority groups, including one creating a Chief Diversity Officerat the National Science Foundation and several prioritizingscientific cooperation with “MSI’s”—minority serving institutions. A section called “Opportunity and Inclusion” instructs the Department of Commerce to work with minority-owned businesses and make sure chipmakers “increase the participation ofeconomically disadvantaged individuals in the semiconductor workforce.”

The department interprets that as license to diversify. Its factsheet “Building a Skilled and Diverse Workforce” asserts thatdiversity is “critical to strengthening the U.S. semiconductor ecosystem,” adding, “Critically, this must include significant investments to create opportunities for Americans from historically underserved communities.”The department does not call speed critical, although the impetus for the CHIPS Act is that 90 percent of the world’s advanced microchips are made in Taiwan, which China is preparing to annex by 2027, maybe even 2025.

Handouts abound. There’s plenty for the left—requirements that chipmakers submit detailed plansto educate, employ, and train lots of women and people of color, as well as “justice-involved individuals,” more commonlyknown as ex-cons. There’s plenty for the right—veterans and members of rural communities find their way into the typical DEI definition of minorities. There’s even plenty for the planet:Arizona Democratsjust bragged they’ve won $15 million in CHIPS funding for an ASU projectfighting climate change.

That’s going better for Arizona than the chips part of the CHIPS Act. Becauseequity is critical, the makers of humanity’s most complex technologymust rely on local labor and apprentices from all those underrepresented groups, as TSMC found to its dismay.Tired of delays at its first fab, it flew in 500 employees from Taiwan, angering local workers by claiming they weren’t skilled enough. With CHIPS grants at risk, TSMC caved in December, agreeing to rely on those workers and invest more in training them.A month later, it postponed its second Arizona fab.

NowTSMC has revealed plans to build a second fab in Japan. Its first, which broke ground in 2021, is about to begin production. TSMC has learned that when the Japanese promise money, they give it, and they allow it to use competent workers. It’s sampling Germany’s chip subsidies too, as is Intel.Intel is also building fabs in Poland and Israel, preferring risking Russian aggression and Hamas rockets to braving America’s DEI regime.Samsung is pivoting toward making its South Koreanhomeland the semiconductor superpower after Taiwan falls…

Uncle Sam’s not the only one who has money, and theworld’s best chipmakers are tired of being pawns in the CHIPS Act’s political games. They’ve quietly given up on it. Intel must know the coming grants are election-year stunts to disguise failed legislation—they’re mere statements of intent. Even after due diligence and final agreements, thefunds will only be released in stagesas recipients prove they’re jumping through the appropriate hoops.

For instance, chipmakers have tomake sure they hire plenty of female construction workers, even though only a million of the 11 million U.S. construction workers are women. They have toremove degree requirements and set “diverse hiring slate policies,” which sounds like code for quotas. They must create plans to do all this with “close and ongoing coordination with on-the-ground stakeholders.” They have toensure childcare for female construction workers and engineerswho don’t exist yet.

No wonder Intel politely postponed its Columbus fab and started planning one in Ireland. Meanwhile, Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo was launching aCHIPS-funded training program for historically-black colleges.

Now the secretary is calling for a second CHIPS Act.Before that, let’s make the one we have usable. There’s an easy fix. A bipartisan group of lawmakers is already trying to pass a bill exempting CHIPS funding from the multiyear environmental review required by the National Environmental Policy Act. The same need for speed calls for adding in aveto of the Commerce Department’s diversity tag-alongs. All Congress has to do is insist it meant what it said in the CHIPS Act and no more: giving poor people opportunities isn’t a free pass to enact all of DEI’s pet causes, and especially not to make national security wait on them.What Congress didn’t give, Congress should be willing to take away. (If the companies are not using the funds, where is the government spending it? Bet we’ll find its being raided for bizarre leftist causes that don’t create chips. Sounds like Obama sham companies, that went bankrupt.)

As America pursues national securityby building a diverse workforce, China does it by building warships. The CHIPS Act’s current identity as a jobs program for favored minorities means companies are forced to recruit heavily fromevery population except white and Asian men already trained in the field; it’s like fishing in all the places you aren’t getting bites. This is the stuff declining empires are made of—too constrained by special interests to muster a defense as the enemy reaches the gates.

And then, instead of solving the problem, the people in charge try to cover it up long enough to win reelection.Don’t be fooled by the Biden administration’s upcoming weekend-at-Bernie’s act; the CHIPS Act is dead.

Basically even though the Act is supposed to increase America’s economic growth, the companies are setting up shop in foreign nation to avoid a disaster of DEI rules. So the companies take the money overseas. And the US doesn’t get an economic or workforce boost. Sounds like Bidan Admin plan

Imagine hiring minorities that have no training in producing chips going into national security apparatus, thats whats happening with airplanes now. This is intentional, nothing the Bidan/Obama admin do anything to Make America Great Again

Focus group gives hilariously perfect response when Biden’s pollster asks about Trump’s Jan. 6 cases…

1/2

Joe Biden, the Democrats, and the media have staked everything on the events of January 6th, convinced that this contentious, puzzling chapter can tilt the 2024 election toward a leader who’s not only lagging in the polls but whose policies are unraveling at the seams.They’re betting that the narrative of January 6th will ignite a fierce disdain for President Trump, casting him and his followers as “insurrectionists” and a “threat to democracy.”

This narrative has been their mantra, relentlessly broadcast to the American public.So, you can imagine their astonishment when a Biden pollster, engaging a focus groupabout Trump’s “January 6 case,” was met with blank stares—no one had any clue what was being referred to.

Talk about poetic justice, right?

Columbia Journalism Review:

Celinda Lake, one of President Biden’s top pollsters on his 2020 campaign, was recently conducting a focus groupwith swing votersfor another client when a response stopped her cold.

Lake had asked how the voters felt about former president Donald Trump’s pending criminal court cases related to the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot.

“They go, ‘What court case around January 6?’”she recalled. “These were swing voters, and about half of them weren’t sure what we were talking about. And I said, ‘Well, you know, the insurrection and that he was the one that provoked it.’ They go, ‘Oh, yeah. I kind of forgot about that.’”

For journalists and the types of highly engaged voters who watch the news every night, Trump’s lock on renomination has been near-certain for at least six months, and his various transgressions and incendiary comments are well known. But it’s easy for political obsessivesto lose sight of how little attention many normal people pay to day-to-day politics.

The astonishing disconnect of our elites couldn’t be more starkly illustrated than in these paragraphs below. They live in a filthy little bubble, completely detached from everyday Americans, to the point where the idea that folks genuinely appreciated Trump’s successful policies—policies that helped them pay bills and feed their families—seems alien to them.

Meanwhile, here’s the real scoop on what’s going down in the United States and the vibe among everyday Americans.

Now, these out-of-touch elites are labeling this appreciation as “amnesia.” The CJR piece goes on:

Thequestion is whether voters just don’t really care—or if they’ll turn against him once they are reminded of Trump’s record in office and plans for a second term.

https://revolver.news/2024/03/focus-group-hilariously-perfect-response-when-biden-pollster-asks-about-trump-jan-6-cases/

Media freaking because their propaganda didn’t stick and won’t stick. Living thru Bidan erased their memories because they are horrified

>>20546506

2/2

The New York Times’ Jennifer Medina and Reid Epstein tackled this question earlier this week with a piece aptly headlined “Do Americans Have a ‘Collective Amnesia’ About Donald Trump?”

It’s very much worth a read. They write: “More than three years of distance from the daily onslaught has faded, changed—and in some cases, warped—Americans’ memories of events that at the time felt searing. Polling suggestsvoters’ views on Mr. Trump’s policies and his presidency have improved in the rearview mirror. In interviews, voters often have a hazy recall of one of the most tumultuous periods in modern politics.”

Part of the problem is thatmany voters, especially the crucial bloc of younger ones, simply don’t remember Trump that well. Those turning eighteen and eligible to vote for the first time this fall were just ten years old and in grade school when Trump won the presidency, in 2016; the January 6 Capitol riots happened back when most of them were just starting high school. The rest of us don’t have memories that are as sharp and reliable as we’d like to think—it’s not just Joe Biden and Donald Trump who regularly get names wrong or forget in what year things occurred. (Kek)

And now, there’s more unraveling of the January 6 stories peddled by the media and DOJ. It’s come to light that Kamala Harris had actually left the Capitol building before the breach even happened.

This new information completely undermines the entire DOJ narrative.

Headline USA:

The House Oversight Committee released the largest tranche of Jan. 6 footage to date on Friday, publishing 5,000 hours of video documenting the Capitol Hill uprising.

Much of the footage has been analyzed by Jan. 6 defendant William Pope, who released his findings on Twitter.

Perhaps the most notable finding from Pope was footage of Vice President-elect Kamala Harris leaving the Capitol at 11:21 a.m.—hours before the building was breached by angry protestors.

Pope’s findings definitively disproves prior assertions by the Justice Department that Harris was in the Capitol when rioters broke into the building.

The left’s 2024 strategy is looking more and more like a castle built on quicksand—it’s just not holding up. January 6 is shaping up to be a glaring example of how far some will go to use a political rival, and even the American public, to push a baseless “insurrection” story. Even the Supreme Court wasn’t having any of it, unanimously deciding that President Trump couldn’t be barred from the ballot because of the day’s events. It’s hardly surprising, then, thatmost Americans have switched off from this narrative, either clueless about or indifferent to the drama being sold to them.

Unspeakable new horrors are revealed in case of celebrated “criminal reform activist” who murdered a man and dismembered the body….

March 9, 2024

The “Innocence Project” is reeling from a significant setback, one that might be tough to bounce back from. Remember Sheldon Johnson? He’s the “criminal reform activist” nabbed for a brutal murder and dismemberment case.

USA Today:

A man who became a public advocate for criminal justice reform after being released from prison last year was arrested on a murder chargeThursday after police said they found a person’s body parts inside a New York City home.

Sheldon Johnson, 48, was jailed without bond Friday morning on charges including second-degree murder, New York City Department of Corrections online records show.

The victim’s relationship with Johnson was not immediately known, but the New York Police Department identified the victim as 44-year-old Collin Small.

Johnson also faces charges of manslaughter and criminal possession of a weapon, the NYPD told USA TODAY.

Not long ago, Johnson was on Joe Rogan’s podcast, talking about how the justice system is unfair. And while it’s true our justice system has its fair share of problems, it increasingly looks like the real losers in today’s climate are those who clash with the current political regime. Our justice system has morphed into a politicized weapon aimed at silencing dissent. Meanwhile, in a rush to champion “criminal reform,” it appears that dangerous thugs are being let off far too lightly, especially among minority communities, putting public safety at risk.

The Innocence Project, which is currently trying to secure Scott Peterson’s release by claiming he didn’t murder his wife and unborn child, finds itself further entangled in controversy.

One of their lawyers hailed Sheldon Johnson as a “miracle” and tried to say he was unjustly imprisoned for 25 years over a minor altercation that resulted in “two stitches.” However, reality tells a starkly different tale. Johnson, far from being an innocent victim of circumstance, had a long and seasoned history as a hardened drug dealer, with a record that included violent offenses like pistol-whipping someone during an armed robbery.

This man was a career criminal, and if the allegations of murder against him stick, he’s still a career criminal. However, the plot thickens even more, as Johnson isn’t the only one in his family with a penchant for violence.His son, following in his father’s footsteps, brutally attacked a graduate student—punching him and chasing him into the street, leading tothe student’s tragic death by a passing car. And Johnson’s father is apparently a disgusting sex criminal who raped his 7-year-old stepdaughter and then told the judge it was because his wife wasn’t giving him any action.

This story just keeps getting more disturbing by the day.

Here’s what conservative pundit Charlie Kirk had to say about this chilling update in a post on X:

Letting all the “enforcers owned by the left” is the plan

Fourth Sunday of Lent

March 10, 2024 | Menagerie |

Jn 3:14-21

Jesus said to Nicodemus:

“Just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert,

so must the Son of Man be lifted up,

so that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life.”

For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son,

so that everyone who believes in him might not perish

but might have eternal life.

For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world,

but that the world might be saved through him.

Whoever believes in him will not be condemned,

but whoever does not believe has already been condemned,

because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.

And this is the verdict,

that the light came into the world,

but people preferred darkness to light,

because their works were evil.

For everyone who does wicked things hates the light

and does not come toward the light,

so that his works might not be exposed.

But whoever lives the truth comes to the light,

so that his works may be clearly seen as done in God.

@KanekoaTheGreat

Chuck Schumer 2009: "When we use phrases like undocumented workers, we convey a message to the American people that their government is not serious about combatting illegal immigration, which the American people overwhelmingly oppose."

Nancy Pelosi 2024: "He should have said undocumented. He said illegal. We usually say undocumented. I don't think it's a big deal."

Chuck Schumer 2009: "The American people are fundamentally pro-legal immigration and anti-illegal immigration… If you don't think it's illegal, you're not going to say it. I think it is illegal and wrong, and we have to change it."

Why does the modern Democrat Party support illegal immigration when there is overwhelming opposition to it among the American people?

Nancy Pelosi won't even say "illegal immigration."

https://x.com/KanekoaTheGreat/status/1766148548415156396?s=20

I wonder if illegals know where Chuck and Nancy live. Maybe they would change their tune if crime is close to their homes. Not everyone have walls around their homes or SS protecting them.

Trump’s vaccine rhetoric sends chills through public health circles. 3/9/2024 1/2

Public health advocates are watching in growing alarm as former President Trump increasingly embraces the anti-vaccine movement.

“I will not give one penny to any school that has a vaccine mandate or a mask mandate,” Trump said in a recent campaign rally in Richmond, Va.

It’s a line Trump has repeated, and his campaign said he is only referring to school COVID-19 vaccine mandates — but that hasn’t eased fears that the GOP leader could accelerate already worrying trends of declining child vaccination.

Trump “is an important voice. He has a big platform. And he uses that platform, in this case, to do harm.Because he’s implying by saying that we shouldn’t mandate vaccines, vaccines are in some ways ineffective or unsafe,” said Paul Offit, a pediatrician and vaccine expert at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.

The ironic part, Offit noted, is that the Trump administration kickstarted Operation Warp Speed, which helped drug companies use a relatively new technology to maketwo very effective and safe COVID-19 vaccines in less than a year.

Throughout the campaign, Trump has performed a complicated tap dance regarding COVID vaccines. He simultaneously wants to take credit for their speedy development but has also criticized their use and knocked his now former rivals for being too pro-vaccine.

In a post on Truth Social reacting to Biden’s State of the Union speech on Thursday, Trump again claimed credit for the COVID-19 shots.

“You’re welcome, Joe, nine month approval time vs. 12 years that it would have taken you!”

Every state and the District of Columbia requires children to get vaccinated against certain diseases before they start school, including measles, mumps, polio, tetanus, whooping cough and chickenpox. A plan to withhold federal funding would have widespread impact. (A total of 78 vaccines when age 14-15)

“Like most states, Virginia requires MMR vaccine, chickenpox vaccine, polio, etc. So Trump would take millions in federal funds away from all Virginia public schools,” former GOP Rep. Barbara Comstock (Va.) wrote in response to his campaign threat on X, formerly Twitter.

Since the public health emergency ended last May, no state requires students to get the COVID-19 vaccine, while 21 states have laws specifically banning schools from requiring COVID-19 shots.

Trump’s campaign says his comments only apply to states that mandate COVID-19 vaccines — making it essentially an empty threat.

“If you actually listen to the entire section, and also if you’ve been following his speeches for the past year, he’s talking about COVID vaccines in addition to masks in the same breath. This isn’t anything new,” Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung said in an email.

Experts say the politicization of vaccines has led to an increase in hesitancy and is sparking more outbreaks of preventable diseases like measles. (It’s actually the death, disabled and severely harmed from the vaccine not politics)

There have been measles outbreaks in 15 states this year, most recently in Florida, where state Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo did not recommend parents vaccinate their children or keep unvaccinated students home from school as a precaution.

Instead, he sent a letter to parents advising them to make their own decisions about school attendance.

Ladapo was appointed by Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) in 2021 and has since aligned himself with anti-vaccine sentiments, primarily about the COVID-19 shots.

https://thehill.com/policy/healthcare/4517350-trump-vaccine-rhetoric-public-health/

Good News the Freaks are freaking out.

>>20546719

2/2

Ladapo told people not to get the most recent shot and has drawn sharp rebukes from the medical community — as well as federal health agencies — for claims that the shots alter human DNA, can potentially cause cancer, and are generally unsafe.

Georges Benjamin, executive director of the American Public Health Association, said he worries that Trump is signaling he will empower more people like Ladapo if he wins reelection.

“I worry about any administration that doesn’t follow good evidence and good science, that they will put more and more people like them in their administration,” Benjamin said.

“We know that Trump had some extraordinarily competent people [in his first term]. But we also know that he had some extraordinarily incompetent people, and that in many situations, some of the really incompetent people carried the day because they aligned with his philosophy,” Benjamin added.

Robert Blendon, a professor emeritus of health politics at the Harvard School of Public Health, said the experience in Florida and the comments from Trump are part of a much broader Republican backlash against public health expertise and government mandates that can be traced to anti-COVID policies.

“It isn’t that he’s just going after these anti-vaccine votes,” Blendon said of Trump.

Trust in public health authorities has dropped precipitously among Republicans since 2021, and Blendon said Trump is a symbol of that. The anti-vaccine movement has never been associated with one particular political party, whereas the public health backlash is strongly Republican-centric.

“That’s made it very, very powerful,” Blendon said. “There are Republicans in the House and Senate, who when they’re not investigating public health, want to cut back the budget… so it has caught on within the Republican base very widely.”

Whether it’s anti-vaccine specifically or anti-public health more broadly, the sentiment is growing.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, thepercentage of kindergartners whose parents opted them out of school-required vaccinations rose to the highest level yet during the 2022-2023 school year.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a well-known vaccine skeptic who is running for president as an independent, has gained a major platform to spread misinformation and widely debunked claims about vaccines.

He has falsely claimed vaccines cause autism, falsely declared the coronavirus shot is the world’s deadliest vaccine and questioned the safety of shots’ ingredients.

Offit, the vaccine expert, said he thinks public health officials could have done a better messaging job on the COVID-19 shots, and that by mandating vaccines they “inadvertently leaned into a Libertarian left hook.”

Still, Offit said he is concerned about the increasing anti-science rhetoric from politicians like Trump.

“I feel like we’re on the edge of a precipice here… you have the most contagious of the vaccine preventable diseases coming back to some extent, and with Donald Trump basically casting aspersions on vaccines, that’s only going to worsen.” (Q quote, we are finally there.)

(Why fund them in the first place? Do they ever pay it back from the Billions of dollars they make?)

FBI knew the Hunter Biden laptop was real in 2019, IRS whistleblowers say

Story by Jerry Dunleavy • 8mo

(Whatever happened to Joshua Wilson?)

IRS whistleblowers revealed the FBI verified the authenticity of Hunter Biden’s laptop by November 2019, nearly a year before social media companies censored stories about it.

They also said some laptop contents were withheld during their criminal investigation.

The whistleblower claims came from two IRS agents who played key roles in the Hunter Biden investigation: Gary Shapley, a supervisory special agent with the IRS’s criminal investigation, and a yet-unnamed IRS case agent who is referred to as “Whistleblower X.” The whistleblowers said the laptop hard drive belonging to President Joe Biden's son was quickly determined to be authentic, but there were limitations placed on what laptop contents they were allowed to use in their inquiry.

Shapley testified that “the FBI became aware that a repair shop had a laptop allegedly belonging to Hunter Biden and that the laptop might contain evidence of a crime” in October 2019. He added that just one month later “the FBI verified its authenticity in November of 2019 by matching the device number against Hunter Biden's Apple iCloud ID.”

He said thatFBI case agent Josh Wilson called repair shop owner John Paul Mac Isaac on Nov. 6, 2019“and basically got the device numbers from him.” Shapley further testified that “then we bounced those device numbers off third-party records, and it showed that it was, in fact, Hunter Biden's device.” He added that “then it's a lot of minutia with what they did with the information — or with the analysis of the computers.”

The whistleblower said that “when the FBI took possession of the device in December 2019, they notified the IRS that it likely contained evidence of tax crimes” and that a redacted special agent “drafted an affidavit for a Title 26 search warrant, which a magistrate judge approved that month.”

Shapley said that “it wasn't a warrant for the FBI to physically take custody of" the laptop and emphasized that “they determined, because it was abandoned property, that it could be turned over via a document request.”

The whistleblower said that “I don’t know of” any instance where Hunter Biden or his lawyers claimed that anything on the laptop was doctored or fraudulent. The person added that it was discussed internally whether anything was inauthentic, but that analysis showed that “it was not manipulated in any way” and that it was reliable evidence.

Konstantinos "Gus" Dimitrelos, a cyber forensics expert and former Secret Service agent, conducted an examination of the laptop for the Washington Examiner last year. He concluded, “My analysis revealed there is a 100% certainty that Robert Hunter Biden was the only person responsible for the activity on this hard drive and all of its stored data” and that “the hard drive is authentic.”

Hunter Biden reached a plea deal on federal charges related to tax crimes and the illegal purchase of a handgun, Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss’s office revealed in a court filing on Tuesday. IRS whistleblower claims detailing the politicization of the Justice Department investigation were made public on Thursday, including allegations that Weiss had sought special counsel status from the DOJ and sought to file charges in California and in the nation’s capital, but was repeatedly denied.

The New York Post reported in October 2020 that emails from the laptop showed evidence of shady business dealings by the son of President Joe Biden tied to Ukraine and China.

When the publication attempted to post the articles on its Twitter account, the social media company said doing so violated its rule against sharing "hacked" materials. Facebook also limited the reach of the stories.

Former Twitter deputy general counsel Jim Baker, who had previously been the FBI’s general counsel under fired FBI director James Comey, defended his and Twitter’s actions related to the Hunter Biden laptop censorship earlier this year, contending there was no “unlawful collusion”between Twitter and the FBI or the Biden campaign.

Baker seemed to lean in favor of censoring the laptop stories in October 2020, telling Twitter colleagues that “it's reasonable for us to assume that” the laptop materials “may have been” hacked “and that caution is warranted."

Anons did you hear Bidan say, “they live in the past, guess what, we won’t let them win the past”?

Is he talking about the 2020 election?Is he afraid of the 2020 election being exposed, that he is a fraud because he’s losing badly in 2024?

Your right they will never return to treating people like sovereign citizens that can make up our own minds. They got the taste of killing people and death and call it “Public Health”. They like the power to control and kill. Very rare to find a physician that abides by the Hypocratic Oath “Do NO Harm”

Loved that. Animals drunk are not much different to humans. The hangover part is hilarious

I hope you end it with “God’s will be done, in the name of Jesus, Amen”

I’ll join you in unison. Whatever happens though the 2nd, 3rd, 4th or whatever clone will be taken out of the drawer

It’s not they both do it, thats why reps will never fix it in Congress or states. Republicans are fine with being the minority. They still get rich

Yep agreed, primary them. Johnson is the worst coward ever. Guess he doesn’t believe in the armor of God. Something seriously wrong with that dude and many others. They go to congress to get rich, thats all
