‼️ #BREAKING | Biden administration preparing to send Secretary of State Blinken to Ukraine next month, report says
✈️ F-35's still increasing in price.
Matthew Bromberg, chief of the military engines division for Pratt & Whitney explained that the spike in pricing happened due to the expulsion of Turkey from the programme – a move initiated by Washington itself in 2019. As it turned out, Turkish companies had been producing 188 parts for the jet's engines and did so at a much cheaper price than the firms that replaced them.
The US is yet to qualify the suppliers for the remaining 25% of the details currently manufactured by the Turkish companies. The Pentagon hoped to finish the process by 2020, but, in fact, it will be relying on Turkish suppliers for two more years until their contracts end

‘Pretty simple’ way to stop Guatemalan migrants from entering US: a guide by Tucker Carlson
Fox News host Tucker Carlson said he knows how to solve the issue of Guatemalan migrants entering the US.
He argued that just “one phone call” could be enough.
“So if you're going to deal with the governor of Guatemala, wouldn't it be pretty simple?” Carlson argued. It's worthy to note that Guatemala is led by a president, not a governor.
“You say ‘Look, either you stop off-loading your poor people onto our taxpayers or we're shutting down your foreign aid, tomorrow. Like you've got 24 hours’. Why is that complicated?” he went on.

Attorneys for the family of Andrew Brown Jr. said that autopsy results showed that North Carolina sheriff's deputies shot the African-American man, aged 42, in the back of the head as they were serving a warrant last week.
Earlier, they said that Brown Jr's family had been shown 20 seconds of body-camera video that appeared to show him with his hands on the steering wheel of his car before being shot down.
After watching this, Brown's son exclaimed that the shooting in Elizabeth City had been an execution.

✍️ Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom, who violated COVID restrictions by meeting with lobbyists at a private party, could be removed from office if voters vote against keeping him as governor.
Under California state law, residents have the right to recall an elected governor if they find his performance in office unsatisfactory. If a majority of people vote to expel Newsom, the new candidate with the most votes will replace him for the remainder of his term, which ends in 2023. If not, Newsom keeps his post.

👊 Not everyone is ready to support the political career of a family member. That's certainly the case with Caitlyn Jenner, whose family seems disappointed with her decision to run for governor of California.
The sons of the 71-year-old socialite and TV personality, Burt, Brandon and Brody Jenner, ostensibly “don't feel she's qualified for the position”. They are reportedly “upset she never took the family’s feelings into consideration”, and had decided for herself long before she asked her loved ones.
Another part of the same extended family – the Kardashians – are also not happy with Caitlyn's political aspirations, as Kim, the daughter of Caitlyn's ex-wife Kris, has already made it clear that they have very different views.

💸 Will taxes ever stop rising?
Stocks tumbled last week, following the emergence of a report suggesting US President Joe Biden would set forth a new capital gains hike targeting wealthier US taxpayers. It would be the highest tax rate on investment gains since the 1920s. Republicans, and even some Democrats, have argued that such a move is too radical, and could have negative ramifications on the US economy
