Biden wants an industrial renaissance. He can't do it without ... (Politico)

Intel's planned microchip plant outside Columbus, Ohio, is the administration's poster child for reviving high-tech manufacturing. But failure to allow a ...

While most companies are still planning to set up shop in the U.S. regardless of what happens with STEM immigration, Shahoulian said inaction on that front will inevitably limit the scale of investments by Intel and other firms. He also dinged the chip companies, claiming the issue is “not always as straightforward” as the industry would like to frame it and that tech companies sometimes hope to pay less for foreign-born talent. And the ability of this country to invest in anything for 20 years is not phenomenal.” Cornyn blamed that in part on the far right’s reflexive outrage to any easing of immigration restrictions. Students coming out of American universities with those degrees are largely foreign nationals — and increasingly, they’re graduating without an immigration status that lets them work in the U.S., and with no clear pathway to achieving that status. It’d be a relatively small number of people — a February study from Georgetown University’s Center for Security and Emerging Technology suggested the chip industry would only need around 3,500 foreign-born workers to effectively staff new U.S.-based factories. Harrison is anxious, however, over how quickly he and other leaders in higher ed are expected to convince thousands of students to sign up for the required STEM courses and join Intel after graduation. Quietly, however, many of those same lawmakers — along with industry lobbyists and national security experts — fear all the chip subsidies in the world will fall flat without enough high-skilled STEM workers. A rapid boost in processing power stuffed into ever-smaller packages led to the information technology boom of the 1990s. But even as Biden signs into law more than $52 billion in “incentives” designed to lure chipmakers to the U.S., an unusual alliance of industry lobbyists, hard-core China hawks and science advocates says the president’s dream lacks a key ingredient — a small yet critical core of high-skilled workers. In his State of the Union address in March, President Joe Biden called this 1,000-acre spread of corn stalks and farmhouses a “field of dreams.” Within three years, it will house two Intel-operated chip facilities together worth $20 billion — and Intel is promising to invest $80 billion more now that Washington has sweetened the deal with subsidies. Since the 1960s, scientists — working first for the U.S. government and later for private industry — have tacked transistors onto wafers of silicon or other semiconducting materials to produce computer circuits.

Joe Biden tests positive for COVID again, in rare case of virus ... (Euronews)

The new positive test comes just a few days after the White House said he had been given the all clear to come out of isolation, and several negative tests.

He tested negative for the virus on this past Tuesday and Wednesday. He was then cleared to leave isolation while wearing a mask indoors. Just as when Biden first tested positive, the White House sought to show he was still working. He will isolate at the White House until he tests negative.

What to Know About COVID-19 Rebound, Links to Paxlovid ... (PEOPLE.com)

The CDC described COVID-19 rebound cases as "a recurrence of symptoms or a new positive viral test after having tested negative" in guidance released in ...

And although the treatment has been effective for many, some have reported rebound cases of COVID-19 after taking the antiviral. In a statement on Sunday, the president's physician, Dr. Kevin C. O'Connor, noted that Biden "continues to feel well" while still testing positive. The White House later revealed that he tested positive again on Saturday in what has become known as a rebound case. Although transmission of infection during rebound cases has been reported, CDC notes that "it remains unknown whether the likelihood of transmission during rebound differs from the likelihood of transmission during the initial infection." "There was no increased occurrence of hospitalization or death, and there was no evidence that the rebound in detectable viral RNA was the result of SARS-CoV-2 resistance to Paxlovid," the report added. The CDC also reported that during the Paxlovid clinical trial, a small percentage of rebound cases were found in both those who were administered the drug and people who took the placebo, meaning rebound does not appear to be caused by the antiviral.

Irish reluctance to support Ukraine presents Unionists with an opportunity to counter American Brit-bashing over the Protocol reforms…

More seasoned observers of Northern Ireland than are to be found in London newsrooms and editorial circles agree the legislation has bought some time for the main unionist party, the DUP, to bolster its argument that political pressure can work. It is likely that this scenario would probably end in a bigger vote for Sinn Fein and the near total demise of its nationalist rival, the SDLP. The Protocol has destabilised Northern Ireland and its power sharing system that requires that both communities — unionist as well as nationalist — to support it. Already some in Washington are questioning the wisdom of the White House’s Brit-bashing. First up was John Bolton, the former US national security adviser, who wrote in the Telegraph in June that America’s interests lie in siding with the UK, its most important Nato ally. President Biden has since pledged that he is “only a phone call away” if Dublin needs him to put manners on Perfidious Albion and its plot to undermine the post-Brexit trade deal. There may also be merit in reminding Washington which country still backs America in other potential conflicts in the Pacific. The Irish Constitution sees to it that not a single bullet, let alone a bazooka, will be handed over to the Ukrainians fighting for the survival of their country. Whoever walks into 10 Downing Street should hold their nerve and resist. Even as Finland and Sweden apply for Nato membership, Ireland remains mute. It is a line to which Joe Biden is naturally receptive. to many unionists, as also to BBC and Channel 4 News producers and reporters, it appears the pro-Union population is being caught in a diplomatic pincer movement with the combined forces of Dublin, Brussels and Washington ranged against them. Both weapon systems are constructed by the French arms manufacturer, Thales, at its base in eastern Belfast which Boris Johnson visited back in June.

“I’m not getting into the 2024 election,” he said. “This type of legislation wouldn’t happen unless the president of the United States was involved,” Manchin said on “This Week.” “And he gave — he gave his blessing and signed off on it. So I’m not going — I’m not getting into the 2022 or 2024. “President Biden is my president right now. He made similar comments last week in response to questioning from former CNN anchor Chris Cuomo on his podcast, “The Chris Cuomo Project.” I’m not predicting anything.” On Wednesday night, Manchin announced that he had brokered a surprise deal with Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) on the “Inflation Reduction Act,” a massive climate, health-care and taxes bill. “Would you...” “Everybody’s worried about the election. “And I have a tremendous amount of respect and friendship with my Republican colleagues. “You know, I’m not making those choices or decisions on that. “I think the Democrats have great candidates that are running.

Eleven per cent of respondents identified "the state of democracy" or "political division" as their top concern, while 10 per cent said gun policies were the most important problem. The decision is expected to ultimately result in abortion being banned or more severely restricted than it previously was in nearly half of the US states. Biden, who sees himself as the Democrat with the best chance of beating Trump, is suffering from anaemic approval ratings. The Supreme Court in a major ruling on June 24 said there is no federal right to abortion, reversing a nearly half-century-old opinion that it issued in the Roe v. A whopping 94 per cent of Democrats who are less than 30 years old said they want someone besides Biden, the survey found. That is 4 percentage points lower than the level of support for reelection Trump saw in an April 2018 poll, which came more than two years before he faced Biden. Biden's age (82 in November this year) and job performance were the top reasons cited by Democrats on why they wanted a candidate other than Biden to be the party nominee, The New York Times/Siena College poll found.

Conservative Democrat represents state Trump won handily in 2020 and 2016.

“This is fighting inflation,” he said on CBS’s Face the Nation. “This is all about the absolute horrible position that people are in now because of the inflation costs. His party is now touting the smaller piece of legislation which avoids overhauling the US’s social safety net as Democrats had previously wished while still providing billions for the fight against climate change in the form of electric vehicle credits and provisions aimed at decarbonising the US energy industry. “I think the country would be well-served by a new generation of compelling, well-prepared, dynamic Democrats who step up.”

Biden tested positive on Saturday, requiring him to cancel travel and in-person events as he isolates for at least five days in accordance with Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines.
