Ashley Biden shared a photo of husband Howard Krein hand in hand with ‘his girlfriend' hours before bombshell divorce filing
Ashley Biden, the former first daughter who is fresh off filing for divorce from her husband, Dr. Howard Krein, shared a picture purportedly showing her ex with another woman. 'My husband and his girlfriend holding hands,' the 44-year-old wrote in the Instagram Story, over a picture of a man and a woman taken from behind. She accompanied the story with the Notorious B.I.G. song 'Another,' featuring Lil' Kim, which details an affair. 'What do you do when your man is untrue? Do you cut the sucker off and find someone new?' Lil' Kim raps in the portion of the song Biden shared on social media. The dark-haired man in a casual short-sleeved shirt and the blond woman in a strapless black dress are not immediately identifiable, but Biden's message was clear. Sunday morning's Instagram Story — which was quickly taken down — came just hours before Biden filed for a divorce from the 58-year-old plastic surgeon in a Philadelphia court after 13 years of marriage. Another since-deleted Instagram Story, showing Biden walking through a park giving a thumbs-up to the tune of Beyonce's song 'Freedom,' also appeared to allude to the split. In a subsequent story accompanied by the Lauryn Hill song 'Freedom Time,' she reposted a quote, 'New life, new beginnings means new boundaries. New ways of being that won't look or sound like they did before.' Former President Joe Biden's daughter is seeking spousal support from her ex as part of the divorce, court records seen by Radar Online show. Biden, executive director of the nonprofit Delaware Center for Justice, is 'unable to sustain herself' while the divorce is pending, according to the documents filed by her attorney Charles Meyer. She is requesting a no-fault divorce, claiming that the marriage is 'irretrievably broken,' and that the couple are living 'separate and apart,' the documents show. Biden and Krein did not respond to requests for comment Thursday. The couple married in 2012 in Greenville, Delaware, two years after meeting through Ashley's late brother, Beau, who died of cancer in 2015. Krein, a New Jersey-born otolaryngologist at Thomas Jefferson University, proposed in 2011 at Big Sur, California. They married at Delaware's St. Joseph on the Brandywine Roman Catholic Church in a ceremony combining her traditions with Krein's Jewish ones, before the couple and some 200 guests traveled to the Biden family's nearby lakeside home in Wilmington for a reception and dinner. Joe Biden, who was vice president at the time, personally prepped the house for his youngest child's wedding. 'I kept telling Ash, we've got to open up the church and practice walking up and down the aisle so I can handle it,' he previously told People. He was also full of praise for his future son-in-law, saying, 'This is the right guy. And he's getting a helluva woman.' Krein also served on the Biden Cancer Initiative's board of directors between 2017 and 2019, and advised his 2020 presidential campaign on its response to the COVID-19 pandemic in an unofficial capacity. At last year's DNC in Chicago, Ashley Biden recounted her wedding day and discussed her father's words to her before she tied the knot. 'Before he walked me down the aisle, he turned to me and said he would always be my best friend. All these years later, Dad, you are still my best friend,' she said in an address that brought her father to tears.

Design flaws undercut law to bring chip manufacturing back to US, expert says
On the most recent Bring It Home Podcast, host JP Hampstead spoke with Julius Krein, founder and editor-in-chief of American Affairs, about U.S. industrial policy post-CHIPS Act. The CHIPS and Science Act of 2022 aims to bring microchip manufacturing back to the U.S. after several decades of companies offshoring the technology. According to a report by the Council on Foreign Relations – a nonpartisan think tank headquartered in New York – the U.S. produced 40% of the world's semiconductor supply in 1990. Today, the U.S. produces only 12% as Taiwan has ramped up to over 60% of the world's supply of semiconductors. Krein dove into the historical context, challenges and prospects of America's industrial strategy. He described U.S. industrial policy as targeted interventions aimed at boosting specific sectors to improve economic competitiveness and national security. He also critiqued traditional views that often portray such policies as economic externality management, arguing instead that U.S. industrial policy should strategically lower the cost of capital for essential projects to boost growth. Krein said the CHIPS Act has had its limitations, pointing out its short-term focus and lack of a mechanism for ongoing policy adjustments. He said that mechanism would be vital for the long-term competitiveness of the U.S. semiconductor industry. 'I think the CHIPS Act was necessary,' Krein said. 'But in sort of design and execution, I think it had two problems: one in terms of policy design, one in terms of more framing and rhetoric.' 'I think it's a critical sector, but I'd like to think or at least hope that we could do both a lot better on policy design as well as kind of building a larger framework and ecosystem for all of these projects,' he continued. Other headlines discussed in this episode included: Recent announcements of large investments by tech conglomerates in the U.S., including Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co.'s commitment to extending its semiconductor manufacturing operations with a $100 billion investment. Apple's intention to expand its U.S. manufacturing footprint with a $500 billion investment, focusing on enhancing its supply network. The Stargate project, a joint venture by OpenAI, Softbank and Oracle aimed at developing AI infrastructure with a $500 billion pledge, reflecting broader trends toward investing in AI as a catalyst for new business models. Bring It Home dives into emerging industry trends and the push for reindustrialization in North America. The podcast is available on YouTube, Spotify and Apple Podcasts.
