Taiwan Semiconductor, the biggest chip manufacturer in the world, is now in talks to partner with Intel to produce chips in the United States to avoid Trump’s tariffs

Taiwan Semiconductor, the biggest chip manufacturer in the world, is now in talks to partner with Intel to produce chips in the United States to avoid President Trump’s tariffs.

Taiwan’s President also encouraged Taiwanese companies to begin investing in America, “In light of President Trump’s concerns about our country’s semiconductor industry, the government will carefully respond and strengthen communication with the U.S. The government will also strengthen guidance and encourage Taiwanese companies to invest more in the United States.”

TARIFFS ARE WORKING, and they haven’t even been implemented yet.

JD Vance goes after European allies in Munich Security Conference speech | DW News

UPDATE: Terrific speech, right on the money. If Vance can keep this up and follow through with decisive action, I will be impressed. He’s an excellent rhetorician but in politics words only mean so much. Let’s see what happens. We have to closely watch every potential MAGA candidate who might take over after Trump. Vance is high on the list. He appears to not be another Mike Pence. Speaking of traitors, at least some of the main actors who threw open our border under Biden and lied about it need to be held accountable. Some of their crimes were as serious as they get. You were in charge of protecting but did the opposite and used citizens tax money to pay for your perfidy. Basically, you acted like a general in a foreign army at war with USA. ABN

DNA and RNA epigenetics, once thought to be separate, have now been found to work together to fine-tune gene expression.

Researchers have uncovered a new way that cells control their genes — and it may rewrite our understanding of “epigenetics.”

Epigenetics is a form of DNA modification that doesn’t affect the DNA sequence itself. Instead, it describes when chemical groups attach to specific genes, thus switching those genes on or off, or else changing the 3D shape of chromosomes.

Now, in a study published Jan. 17 in the journal Cell, researchers have uncovered a whole new method of gene regulation that involves epigenetic tweaks made to both DNA and its molecular cousin RNA, at the same time.

This discovery challenges the established view that these RNA- and DNA-modifying processes are completely separate, and it suggests that it may have broader implications in human biology and disease. To that end, Fuks and his team are trying to determine how this new mechanism relates to cancer.

There is no ballistic evidence that Crooks took any shots at Trump — John Cullen

There is no ballistic or photographic evidence to indicate that “Thomas Crooks/Max Yearick” (the shooter on the roof of the AGR bldg) took any shots at President Trump.

The evidence indicates the shots at Trump came from elsewhere. The crack thump measurements put the 2nd volley of 5 rounds about 135 yards from the podium.

A> None of the rooftop shooter’s rounds were recovered

B> His body wasn’t aiming at Trump

C> None of the evidence from the rooftop (brass casings, rifle, optics, backpack, remote control, phones, etc ) can be entered as evidence, since the crime scene was compromised

CBX Reborn: Honda ‘CBX1147’ Café Racer

Family Heirloom, Transformed: 1147cc CBX from Laurent Heraux x JDMAX… 

As far as production motorcycle engines go, few can claim the mystique, visual presence, and soundtrack of Honda’s six-cylinder CBX1000 engine. The 1047cc “slant six” boasted dual overhead cams with eight bearings each, 24 valves, and a maximum output of 105 howling horses.
