Apple Supplier TSMC May Operate Intel’s Chipmaking Facilities
Apple supplier TSMC has reached a preliminary agreement with Intel that will see TSMC operating Intel’s chipmaking facilities, reports The Information. TSMC will own a 20 percent stake in the new combined company, while Intel and other semiconductor companies will own the majority of the shares.





As part of the deal, TSMC may share some of its chip manufacturing methods with Intel, and train Intel employees to use them. Discussions are still underway, and the final details have not been established. The talks between Intel and TSMC were reportedly initiated by the Trump administration in an effort to stymy Intel’s decline and bring advanced chipmaking to the U.S.



Intel is one of TSMC’s major competitors, and the two have long been rivals. Apple previously used Intel chips in its Macs, but transitioned to its own Apple silicon chips manufactured by TSMC starting in 2020. No Apple devices use Intel processors, with Apple now relying entirely on its own technology.



TSMC focuses on chip manufacturing, not design, which is handled by TSMC customers like Apple and Nvidia. The focus solely on manufacturing has allowed TSMC to outpace Intel, and Intel’s foundary operations are less attractive to companies because Intel’s chips cost more than TSMC’s and its yields are lower.



Some Intel executives are said to be worried that the deal would result in layoffs, because Intel would need to eliminate engineers and may need to change or sell the equipment that it uses. Intel and TSMC have different manufacturing machines and materials, so if Intel is expected to adopt TSMC manufacturing processes, it could have to sell most of its existing equipment.



In 2024, Intel had an $18.8 billion loss because of its investments in chip manufacturing and a weakening PC market.Tags: Intel, TSMCThis article, 'Apple Supplier TSMC May Operate Intel’s Chipmaking Facilities' first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Intel and other U.S. semiconductor companies would hold the majority of shares in the proposed venture. Instead of capital investment, TSMC has discussed sharing chipmaking methods and training Intel personnel.

The talks face internal opposition from some Intel executives concerned about widespread layoffs and the abandonment of Intel's own technology, according to the report. The deal could help TSMC neutralize a struggling competitor while potentially giving Taiwan more leverage with the U.S. administration, which recently imposed tariffs on Taiwanese goods excluding chips.

Delivered to a Predator: Al Fayed’s Fixer review – this startling tale urgently needed telling

The result is a raw, horrifying and invaluable watchIt is disturbingly easy to respond with little more than fatigue to reports of powerful men sexually exploiting women, because there have been so many. The part of us that should emit shock, disgust and righteous outrage becomes dulled through overuse. And so, when Mohamed Al Fayed, the billionaire former owner of Harrods, died in 2023 and was then credibly accused of being one of Britain’s worst sex offenders, the collective reaction felt like a shrug.The new Dispatches investigation, Delivered to a Predator: Al Fayed’s Fixer, however, ought to sharpen our revulsion and our resolve to fight for change. Building on the 2017 Dispatches documentary Behind Closed Doors and the 2024 BBC programme Predator at Harrods, it outlines the scale of the tycoon’s wrongdoing: last year, the Metropolitan police said it believed Al Fayed may have raped or abused at least 111 women and girls, but here a lawyer working for survivors estimates the number to be more like 300.

Matt Taibbi Files $10 Million Libel Suit Against Dem Rep. For Accusing Him Of 'Serial Sexual Harassment'
Matt Taibbi Files $10 Million Libel Suit Against Dem Rep. For Accusing Him Of 'Serial Sexual Harassment'

Journalist Matt Taibbi is suing Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Dove for libel, after the California Democrat claimed during her opening remarks in a House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee hearing on Tuesday that he's a "serial sexual harasser."



"To distract from the dumpster fire this administration is pursuing," she said, the Republicans were "elevating a serial sexual harrasser as their star witness."

While Taibbi wouldn't have been able to sue due to lawmaker protections under the Speech and Debate clause of the constitution, Kamlager-Dove was stupid enough to then post those claims on social media; both on X and Blue Sky.

As Taibbi directly notes to Kamlager-Dove via Racket News, "Rep. Kamlager-Dove, no woman has ever accused me of engaging in sexual harrassment once, let alone serially. See you in court. Please do not evade service."

Intel and other U.S. semiconductor companies will hold the majority of the shares in the proposed JV, which would include at least some of Intel's existing chip foundries, said the two people. In exchange for the 20% stake, TSMC has discussed sharing some of its chipmaking methods with Intel and training Intel personnel to use them, insteading of funding its stake with capital, one of the people said.

It isn't clear how the rest of the new entity would be funded. The deliberations are ongoing and no final agreement has been reached, the two people said. There's still resistance from some Intel executives concerned that the deal would cause widespread layoffs at the company while subsuming its own chipmaking technology, according to two Intel employees.


The JV was encouraged by members of the Trump administration and is part of the broader 'America First' effort to revive the U.S. chipmaking sector after decades of decay. It also plays into hemispheric defense, where the U.S. will rely less on foreign adversaries for chips.

President Trump has previously accused Taiwan of "stealing" America's chip industry: "You know, Taiwan, they stole our chip business ... and they want protection." However, TSMC has reversed the tide with additional investments in the U.S. - more than $100 billion.

Multiple reports over the last several weeks, including this one from Reuters, have discussed TSMC pitching a JV with Nvidia, Advanced Micro Devices, and Broadcom to operate Intel's factories.

Sources via The Information continued:


White House and Commerce officials have been pressing TSMC and Intel to strike a deal to resolve the long-running crisis at Intel, one of the most iconic U.S. technology firms. Commerce officials who have facilitated the negotiations support the tentative deal, said the two people who have been involved in some of the talks.

. . . 

The proposed joint venture could also help TSMC effectively put down a major, if struggling, competitor and give the Taiwanese government more bargaining power with the Trump administration, which just levied tariffs on goods other than chips from the island.


In February, Robert W. Baird analysts wrote in a note to clients that the Trump administration was working to broker a JV between Intel and TSMC, one which would focus on something we said last August has excess value at the Intel enterprise, namely its fabs... 


Intel has 15 fabs; the fabs alone are worth $10bn/each in liquidation value.
The value created by management is negative $50 billion. https://t.co/HkqUQJ4A6J

In markets, Intel shares are up 5% in late cash trading. On the year, shares are up about 16% on speculation of a deal - shares have been floored around $20 handle. 



Will Intel shares fly in Trump's America First era?

Pentagon Watchdog Launches Investigation Into SecDef Hegseth Over Use Of Signal
Pentagon Watchdog Launches Investigation Into SecDef Hegseth Over Use Of Signal

Authored by Zachary Stieber via The Epoch Times,

The inspector general for the Department of Defense is investigating Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth over his use of the messaging app Signal.



Acting Pentagon Inspector General Steven A. Stebbins said in an April 3 memorandum to Hegseth that the probe would cover whether Hegseth and other military personnel complied with Department of Defense policies and procedures for using a commercial messaging application for official business.

“Additionally, we will review compliance with classification and records retention requirements,” he said.

A Department of Defense spokesperson told The Epoch Times in an email, “Per our longstanding policy, we don’t comment on ongoing investigations.”

Hegseth has not reacted as of yet to the development.

Hegseth and other top U.S. officials in mid-March messaged on Signal about strikes in Yemen against Houthi terrorists.

The Atlantic released the messages after Jeffrey Goldberg, its editor-in-chief, was added to the chat group.

Hegseth and the White House have said no classified information was shared.

Health And Human Services Layoffs Begin Leaving Federal Workers Stunned
Health And Human Services Layoffs Begin Leaving Federal Workers Stunned

The first stage of cuts to Health and Human Services (HHS) have begun with 10,000 employees slated to be fired in the coming weeks.  Pink slips have been replaced with deactivated key cards as workers line up at HHS offices across the country to find out if they still have a job.  The establishment media is out in force to paint a tragic narrative of "public servants" who only want to do good for less fortunate souls no unable to fulfill their calling.  It's all quite dramatic.



It's hard to say when government bureaucrats suddenly became an army of charitable saints sacrificing themselves for the good of humanity.  The HHS currently employs around 82,000 people within 10 regional offices and the average income for a worker is around $100,000 with benefits.  The majority of them are pencil pushers and social workers, not doctors or scientists making grand discoveries in medical technology.  When they do get involved in medical study, disasters seem to follow. 

Keep in mind that the HHS was partly involved in the funding of gain of function research by EcoHealth Alliance, which, in conjunction with projects run by Dr. Peter Daszak and Dr. Anthony Fauci at the NIH, reportedly led to the creation of human transmissible coronaviruses at the Wuhan Level 4 Virology Lab in China (ground zero for Covid).  

The annual budget of the HHS is $1.8 trillion - It accounts for around 20% of all federal dollars spent every year and tracking where this immense pool of cash goes is far more complex than the shady operations of USAID.  The agency is, by any measure, a monstrosity.  Cuts are intended to hit the FDA, CDC, and the NIH, all under the umbrella of the HHS. 



A large portion of programs instituted by HHS tap into pandemic funds set aside during covid (yes, the covid cash is still floating around after 5 years).  This money goes to support numerous programs that the majority of Americans voted against, including DEI programs, illegal immigrant programs and gender affirming care programs (gender based care for minors was indeed pursued by the HHS).  

The point is, it's not worth feeling sorry for these people.  When they had unmitigated power they abused it in grand fashion and everything that happens from here onward is pure Karma. 

Democrats in at least 23 states are taking action to sue the Trump Administration over the budget cuts and layoffs.  In the lawsuit, filed Tuesday, the states are seeking a temporary restraining order and injunctive relief to immediately halt the administration’s funding cuts that they say will lead to key public health services being discontinued and thousands of health-care workers losing their jobs.



The civil suits are unlikely to make much difference in the end, just as they failed to stop the cuts to USAID.  The HHS, now under the management of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., is expected to undergo unprecedented changes in the coming months and a level of accountability the institution has probably never dealt with before.  

“The COVID-19 pandemic is over, and HHS will no longer waste billions of taxpayer dollars responding to a non-existent pandemic that Americans moved on from years ago. HHS is prioritizing funding projects that will deliver on President Trump’s mandate to address our chronic disease epidemic and Make America Healthy Again,” the agency said in a statement last week.

Tucker Carlson Horrified As Dr. Mary Talley Bowden Drops Chilling COVID Statistic
Tucker Carlson Horrified As Dr. Mary Talley Bowden Drops Chilling COVID Statistic

Via VigiliantFox.com,

Dr. Mary Talley Bowden left Tucker Carlson visibly shaken after dropping a chilling COVID vaccine statistic that’s impacting millions of children right now.



Before her appearance on Carlson’s show, Dr. Bowden, a Texas-based ENT specialist, rose to prominence in the medical freedom movement by speaking out against vaccine mandates and advocating for early treatment options like ivermectin.

She gained national attention after she was suspended by Houston Methodist Hospital for challenging the prevailing COVID narrative.



Despite the backlash, Bowden has remained committed to the Hippocratic Oath, successfully treating an impressive total of over 6,000 COVID patients without a single death.



Before Tucker became visibly disturbed, Dr. Bowden pointed to data from the CDC’s VAERS system, explaining that over 38,000 deaths have been reported following the rollout of the so-called COVID-19 vaccines.

She said that under normal circumstances, such numbers would’ve prompted the FDA to pull the shots.



Instead, they pushed forward, adding the COVID vaccine to the routine childhood schedule, with the expectation that babies receive three doses by just nine months of age.

She added that the shots are still under Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for children under 12—not fully FDA approved—and yet they remain on the official vaccine schedule.



Tucker was horrified when Dr. Bowden mentioned a disturbing fact: “According to the CDC, 9 million American children have gotten the latest version of these COVID shots,” she said.

Clearly caught off guard, Carlson asked, “Actually?”

“Yes,” Bowden confirmed.

“Still?” he pressed.

“Yes. Yes. 9 million [kids]—12% [of US children have been injected].”

Tucker, in disbelief, asked, “Wait, this is going on right now?”

“Yes,” Bowden replied.

“I think we voted against this,” Tucker said.

“Yeah,” Bowden confirmed.

“Correct?” Tucker stressed.

“I don’t know,” Dr. Bowden answered.

“You’re very diplomatic, but I’m just stunned to learn that that’s happening right now,” Tucker exclaimed.

“Could this be shut down?” he asked.

“It should have been shut down a long time ago,” Dr. Bowden answered. “And you know, what’s the—”

Tucker interrupted: “9 million babies have had COVID shots?”

“Yeah. Well, children. Minors,” Dr. Bowden clarified.

Tucker’s reaction at the end says it all:

The conversation took another dark turn when Carlson asked about the potential long-term consequences of these shots, to which Dr. Bowden pointed to a disturbing trend.

“I don’t see a ton of cancer in my practice,” she said, “but I do have friends at MD Anderson, and they said they’ve never seen anything like it. The young people coming in with very advanced tumors, I think that’s what we have to be worried about now.”

She explained that getting updated cancer data is difficult, but the anecdotal reports are piling up. “It’s hard to get up-to-date cancer numbers, but I’m hearing all sorts of things. There are probably people who have access to that data, but publicly, it’s hard [to get access].”

This raises a profound question we must now consider as a society: What have we done?

In our rush to vaccinate every man, woman, and child, have we compromised the long-term health of a population that never needed these shots in the first place?

What data was ignored? If so, who made decisions to ignore that data, and will they ever answer for the consequences? It’s time for a serious conversation about accountability.
