Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang admits to affair with suspected Chinese spy

Nvidia said it had initiated an independent investigation into CEO Jensen Huang, who admitted on Sunday to having an extramarital affair with a Chinese executive suspected of spying for Beijing. He’ll remain CEO pending the investigation’s outcome.

“I was unfaithful to my wife,” Huang wrote in a company-wide letter seen by Semafor. “My actions hurt her and our children. There is no excuse for what I did. I am deeply sorry.”

“To my colleagues at NVIDIA, including those I have worked alongside for decades, and to our board, partners, and shareholders around the world: you deserve better from me. Leading NVIDIA is the privilege of my life. My responsibility is to serve you and be worthy of your trust. I have fallen short of that responsibility. I am fully committed to NVIDIA and will work to earn back your confidence.”

The revelations come after The New York Times reported that US Secretary of State Marco Rubio had drafted a memo to top Trump administration officials warning that the Nvidia CEO was in a close relationship with Chinese citizen Alice Huang, an executive at Singapore-based Megaspeed, which builds data centers in Southeast Asia and provides compute to mainland giant Alibaba. US officials fear the company may have acted as a backdoor for funneling export-controlled Nvidia chips to Beijing, the Times reported.

One of the dodges China has used to get US technology is to have "legitimate" businesses buy more than their real business activities need and ship the extra to China.

Sen. Rick Scott: 'Let's make the schools accountable' for preparing American students for jobs

Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., wants universities to take greater responsibility for preparing American students for successful careers, telling Campus Reform in an interview Thursday that colleges should bear some of the financial consequences when graduates cannot repay their student loans.

”The hardest thing is to get these schools to really, really, really care that all these kids get jobs. That’s the thing that I care about,” Sen. Scott said.

His Changing Our Learning, Loans, Endowments, and Graduation Expectations (COLLEGE) Act would require universities to assume financial responsibility for a portion of their students’ defaulted federal loans, expand reporting of employment outcomes, and require wealthy institutions to contribute more toward educational costs.

”Hopefully, the focus will be, okay, let’s have degrees where we know these kids are going to get jobs. Let’s prepare them for a job, because that’s what they should be doing, right? That’s the whole idea. Let’s make the schools accountable for these kids getting jobs and paying off their loans,” Sen. Scott told Campus Reform.

Given the degree to which, by multiple means, the Federal government subsidizes universities, that $$$$ needs practical strings attached. Or the gravy train ended.

Right decisions are not always popular. Attacking Iran is an example of this, and did hurt Rs.

That said, reality is seldom as simple as a complex event being caused by one person. In this case, Congress has SAT on important legislation for two years, and some R Congress Critters paid the price for that inaction.

Have DUpipo digested the loss of CA's Prop 40 AND the win of Prop 42?

The Epstein Files were made public, with redactions of innocent people's names, a year and a half or so ago, in compliance with e law passed by Congress that required their release, with the names of innocents (janitors and maids, incidental news figures, people who did financial business with Epstein, etc.). MisRepresentative Ro Khanna brilliantly decided to try to gin up an issue about the redactions by releasing the names of four of them ... who all proved to be uninvolved with Epstein's perversions, two of them not even having met Epstein or his businesses in any capacity.

In the Hate-Fantasy World of Trump-Haters, though, the fact that the Epstein Files in no way incriminated or tarred Trump means the files were not released. In that same fantasy world, the "former 13YO" the FBI interviewed 4 times, getting 4 substantially different stories is claimed to have been covered up, and a new "former 8YO" has recently popped up claiming Trump raped her at that age (there's a bloody, possibly fatal, reason that claim is physically absurd).

In sum, the Dems' Trump-Epstein-connection fantasy has joined:

* Dems' Trump-Russia Collusion fantasy;

* Chimpy McCokespoon

* G. W. Bush went AWOL;

* G. H. W. Bush flew in an SR-71 to Paris to dekay the release of the Iranian hostages;

* G. H. W. Bush got the Navy Cross (or DFC) by ditching a perfectly good TBM Avenger;

* Reagan emptied and shut down California's mental hospitals;

* Reagan beat Jane Wyman.

Quite a litany of pathetic hate fantasies. Hatred and wisdom are seldom companions.

Philly ‘Kristallnacht’ protests at Jewish-owned businesses drowned out, shouted down by huge crowds

PHILADELPHIA — Protests of Jewish-owned businesses in Philadelphia by dozens of masked bikers on the eve of the Kristallnacht anniversary were drowned out by a massive crowd of heckling counter-protesters on Sunday.

The boycott, which targeted restaurants run by Jewish Americans in Philly’s ritzy Rittenhouse Square neighborhood, came face-to-face with a large counterprotest aimed at supporting the businesses.

However, the protest was forced to shut down early, with organizers claiming “safety concerns.”

Lines at the Jewish-owned businesses stretched out the door as supporters publicly come out to back them.

Social media posts for the protest demanded that the businesses leave the city.

“Show these zio business owners that we see them for the disgusting humans they are,” one post said.

Despite the claim that the protest was “anti-Zionist,” one business owner said her mac and cheese shop had nothing to do with Israel, and believes she was targeted because she wears a Star of David.
...
Matt Sheldon, 52, said he came out from New York to show Philly’s Jewish community that they are not alone, as he mocked the small turnout of about 75 boycotters.

“It’s the biggest bust of a boycott there is,” Sheldon told The Post, adding that lines to support the restaurants are through the door.

I don't know Philadelphia demographics, but I have a feeling that many of the counter-protesters and buycotters were not Jewish. Given the MSM's token/local coverage of this event, I also have a feeling that many of the counter-protesters and buycotters were the conservatives that Dems were, 10 years ago, accusing of being antisemites.

Now hear this!

In the end, Trump cost Republicans the House, the Senate, and loss of power across all 50 states. He actually did it. He made America great again.

That is all
