It's impossible to learn about Trump's successes and
strategy by following the MSM. If you are interested

Q is about.
Much preparation has gone into the strategy now
unfolding in D.C. The groundwork has been laid and the path
to justice is almost cleared of barriers. MAGA!
Our prior Q thread is here:
Q Anon: 10/03/18 Trust Trump's Plan
"One official says investigators found that it eventually affected almost 30 companies, including a major bank, government contractors, and the worlds most valuable company, Apple Inc. Apple was an important Supermicro customer and had planned to order more than 30,000 of its servers in two years for a new global network of data centers. Three senior insiders at Apple say that in the summer of 2015, it, too, found malicious chips on Supermicro motherboards. Apple severed ties with Supermicro . . . " Bloomberg Businessweek
"Multiple people familiar with the matter say investigators found that the chips had been inserted at factories run by manufacturing subcontractors in China."
Both Amazon and Apple officially deny these claims. Amazon went ahead and acquired Supermicro in mid-2015. But Apple cancelled its order for 30,000 Elemental Systems rack mounted server grade computers and issued the contract for the servers to another, more expensive supplier, one who did not use the same motherboard maker. However the official line from each company is as they wrote: Its untrue that AWS knew about a supply chain compromise, an issue with malicious chips, or hardware modifications when acquiring Elemental, Amazon wrote. On this we can be very clear: Apple has never found malicious chips, hardware manipulations or vulnerabilities purposely planted in any server, Apple wrote. We remain unaware of any such investigation, wrote a spokesman for Supermicro, Perry Hayes. The source of all this is reporting from Bloomberg Businessweek citing anonymous sources in the companies and government, so it is possible it is Fake News. So far it is also single sourced and any other reports are all citing Bloomberg as their source.
It should be noted that although Q shows a photo of an Apple store, Apple designs its own logic boards with the boards being multi layered, making the addition of an additional chip a not inconsequential proposition, requiring a re-engineering of the entire board to accommodate the new addition. Apple is also fully in charge of their own quality control for their products, with a detailed computerized comparison done on every logic board to assure that it matches specifications when it comes out of manufacture. In addition, Apple designs each of the processors and many of the ICs on their mobile devices as Systems on a Chip (SoC) by hand, not computer designed, and it would be nearly impossible for any Chinese agency to add something to a chip (it would have to be done at the design stage). Any surreptitiously added IC would raise a red flag in the quality control checks done on every Apple product. Also, Apple does not use third-party reference design motherboards as do many PC manufacturers, who often buy parts such as motherboards and logic boards from multiple suppliers of which there are many such generic makers in China. Apple was purchasing these rack mount server grade computers for a specific use in their content data server farms. They were designed by Elemental Systems to handle massive streaming video, not for home or even office level use. They would not be found on a home computer grade mother board. It is highly unlikely they would be found in a home Microsoft PC or any mobile laptop either. It would not exist in any Android or iOS device either. . . although Chinese made Android devices have been discovered that regularly upload the data about their users to servers in China. As Q says, they were on top of this from three years ago. (See Amazon, Android, Apple, China, iOS, Microsoft).

Kavanaugh: What Have We Learned?
Jim Treacher
So, Brett Kavanaugh is our next Supreme Court justice. It’s all over now. What have we learned from the events of the past month?
Speaking only for myself, this debacle has done nothing to change my mind about our moral, ethical, and intellectual betters in the media and the Democratic Party. (And yes, I realize those two things are the same thing.) Here are just a few of my biases that have been confirmed by this whole mess. If you don’t know, now ya know:
1. Most of the media is actively working for the Democrats.
If I had any doubt about this, it was completely erased by the events of the past month. The only way any of it makes sense is if the press is eagerly doing the will of the Democrats.
Are the Dems accusing a Supreme Court nominee of sexual assault, and even gang rape? Well then, the press will proceed under that assumption. They already know the accused is guilty, no matter how insane the accusation, so they’ll dig up facts to match the theory. And if they can’t find facts? Any facts at all? Well then, they’ll just weave together rumor and conjecture until they hit their word count.
They’re team players, and if you don’t like their outright dishonesty, that’s what you get for refusing to join them. They’re better than us, which is why they’re so baffled that we don’t trust them.
2. The Democrats have no ideas, no principles, just tactics.
If you were under the misapprehension that the Dems were acting on principle, they were more than happy to shatter that illusion. Over and over, at every turn, they insisted that their treatment of Brett Kavanaugh was no different than what those evil Republicans did to Merrick Garland.
Even if you agree with that and in order to make the comparison, you would have to quote a single Republican who ever accused Garland of organizing gang rapes it’s pretty stupid to admit that you’re trying to destroy an innocent man’s life for nothing more than revenge. The Dems wanted payback, and they didn’t care how they got it. They didn’t stop for one second to consider the ramifications of what they were doing. They were unmoored by principle and heedless of scruple. Attack, attack, attack.

The Standard of Evidence Is Whatever the Democrats Say It Is
3. Dems are angry, vindictive, and violent.
Republicans are getting death threats, and now they’re even getting ricin in the mail. They’re being doxed. Dems are screaming at them in elevators and hounding them whenever they go out in public.
All these intimidation tactics are happening barely a year after a Bernie Bro tried to assassinate Republicans at baseball practice and almost murdered Steve Scalise.
The Democrats cheer on this behavior, and the media makes excuses for it. Brett Kavanaugh’s anger at being falsely accused is bad, and his opponents’ anger at their inability to prove the accusations is good. It’s as simple at that, in their minds.
4. The more loudly the Democrats claim to care about victims, the less they actually do.
Christine Blasey Ford is obviously a troubled woman. I believe she believes what she’s saying, even if she’s unable or unwilling to offer any proof whatsoever. She obviously has severe mental and emotional problems. Which is why it’s sad to watch the Democrats exploit her pain, and the pain of a lot of other women, for political purposes. If the Dems really cared about victims, they wouldn’t use these women and then throw them away.
Right now I’m politically homeless. I don’t like or trust the Republicans any more than the Democrats. But if the Dems wanted to woo a RINO cuck NeverTrump traitor like me, they screwed up for the last time. I will never vote for another Democrat as long as I live. Not after seeing how they smeared the name of an innocent man because they saw him as a threat to their power. The Republicans were the only ones fighting for American principles here. If I’m ever tempted to vote Dem, I’ll just remember what they did to Brett Kavanaugh. I’ll remember how they exploited victims of sexual assault for the basest of political purposes.
I’m not going to gloat over Kavanaugh’s confirmation*, but it’s a relief. It’s a major victory in the war for the truth. I’m glad that the Dems and their enablers didn’t get away with their repulsive, dishonest behavior this time, but I don’t look forward to seeing what they do next. They’ve all lost their minds, and the more their tactics backfire, the more reckless they become. I have no idea what’s next, but we all know it ain’t gonna be pretty.
It’s going to be amazing to watch the 180-degree turn when Amy Coney Barrett is nominated. Then we’ll see how much the Democrats really respect women.
*much...
