President Joe Biden speaks after groundbreaking for Intel’s $20 billion semiconductor plant
President Joe Biden traveled to Ohio on Friday to celebrate the groundbreaking of Intel’s new $20 billion semiconductor plant, one of the first domestic chip-making facilities to come out of the recently passed CHIPS and Science Act.
Intel’s Friday groundbreaking ceremony kicked off construction of what the company has called the “largest silicon manufacturing location on the planet.” It’s part of Intel’s plans to invest $100 billion in Ohio over the next 10 years. The company has said that the project could take more than 7,000 workers to build the facility that is expected to house two separate factories and, once finished, employ 3,000 workers.

Argentina Vice President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner has GUN pointed at her in ‘attempted assassination’ at her home
A WOULD-be attacker threatened Argentina’s Vice President, Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, with a gun on Thursday, according to local reports.
The politician was unharmed after no shots were fired at the entrance of her home in Buenos Aires, where hundreds of protestors were gathered.
De Kirchner is currently in the middle of a corruption scandal and was returning from court when she came into contact with the crowd.
She has denied all of the charges.
Sergio Massa, the country’s economy minister, called the terrifying incident an “attempted assassination.”
“When hate and violence prevail over debate, societies are destroyed and situations like these arise: attempted assassination,” he tweeted.
According to police, an “armed” man was arrested near De Kirchner’s home and “a weapon was found a few meters from the scene.”
Police described the man as being of Brazilian origin.
The man allegedly pointed the gun at De Kirchner in the middle of a crowd, but no shots were fired during the incident.
Video shared on social media showed a crowd swarming De Kirchner as she got out of a car before a hand appears and points what appears to be a gun directly at her face.
De Kirchner ducks out of the way before security tries to block her from the possible gunman.

President Biden signs Inflation Reduction Act to limit climate change
President Joe Biden has signed the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. The sweeping $750 billion legislation includes $369 billion in investments toward climate and clean energy programs. Following months of infighting, House and Senate Democrats passed the bill along party lines last week after Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Senator Joe Manchin of West Virginia struck a compromise deal on Biden’s Build Better Back framework. According to one estimate by Princeton University’s Zero Lab, the bill could reduce US greenhouse emissions by about 6.3 billion tons through 2032. The $369 billion set aside by the bill represents the most significant investment to combat climate change in US history.
“This bill is the biggest step forward on climate ever, and it’s going to allow us to boldly take additional steps toward meeting all of the climate goals we set out when we ran,” Biden said before signing the bill. “It includes ensuring that we create clean energy opportunities in frontline and fenceline communities that have been smothered by the legacy of population and fight environmental injustice that has been going on for so long.”
With the law now in place, US consumers can look forward to up to $7,500 in subsidies for electric SUVs, trucks and vans that cost less than $80,000 and cars under $55,000. The act is also set to provide up to $4,000 for buying a used EV. Both subsidies include an income ceiling that would prevent those who make more than the average American from taking advantage. The law also calls for the creation of a $1.5 billion program to incentivize companies to reduce their methane emissions.
