JUNE 7, 2021
Vice President Harris and Guatemalan President Giammattei Hold News Conference
Vice President Kamala Harris and Guatemalan President Alejandro Giammattei hold a joint news conference following their meeting in Guatemala City on combating poverty, corruption and stemming the flow of migrants to the U.S.

Political views
...Giammattei has vowed to bring back the death penalty and pledged to "crush violent gangs, fight poverty to stop migration and end 'disgusting' corruption."[12] He is against same-sex marriage and abortion, and supports using the military for civilian security.[13]

During his visit to Israel in December 2019, he pledged to have Lebanese Hezbollah declared a "terrorist organization", declaring that "the friends of Israel are the friends of Guatemala, and the enemies of Israel are our enemies.[14] At the same time, he considers to align the policy of Israeli settlements to that of the United States a month earlier.[15]

In 2019, he calls the Venezuelan government a "dictatorship" and says he wants to maintain the same diplomatic line as his predecessor Jimmy Morales towards Venezuela, a country with which Guatemala has severed diplomatic relations...     from Wikipedia

Guatemala's president says he's ready to extradite "coyotes" to U.S. to face charges

Jun. 8 - In an interview with CBS News, Guatemalan President Alejandro Giammattei called on U.S. lawmakers to toughen up laws against human trafficking and said that he's ready to extradite smugglers, known as "coyotes," to the U.S. to face charges. CBS News senior White House and political correspondent Ed O'Keefe joins CBSN's Lana Zak with more on his interview and the upcoming diplomatic talks between Giammattei and Vice President Harris, who has been tasked with leading efforts to address the root causes of migration to the southern border.     Watch Video

Joe Biden doesn't want to meet the press

Jun 8 - ...the amount that Biden is doing or seeking to do -- $2 trillion coronavirus stimulus package, trillions in proposed infrastructure spending, an overhaul of election laws etc. -- is historic. And as such, would benefit from the President explaining it and taking questions from reporters on his approach and thinking. 

There's also this: Biden premised his entire 2020 candidacy on the idea that he would hold himself to a higher standard than Trump. And that he would do so not just because he thought it was personally important but because the nation needed a more transparency in the White House.

Given that, echoing a Sanders excuse for why the President isn't holding more press conferences isn't exactly a good look.
And finally this: Scads of reporting from a variety of outlets makes clear that the Biden White House is actively working to limit his exposure to the media...    quoted from

Pressure is mounting on Joe Biden to reopen U.S. borders to Europeans

Jun. 8 - ...“Many French people have been waiting until now. We thought that the restrictions would be lifted with the vaccination campaign and the announcement of the reopening of the borders to vaccinated Americans, but Joe Biden has not announced anything. And we are not sure that they will be lifted for the summer,” explains Béatrice Leydier, the new advisor of the Français de l’Étranger in Washington. Inspired by Célia Belin’s text and her own experience, she launched a petition to ask Joe Biden to remove entry restrictions for all temporary visas and to speed up the issuance of visas approved by American consulates.

Her petition gathered nearly 2,400 signatures in 24 hours from Europeans, but also from Americans. “On migration, Joe Biden has not reversed Donald Trump’s America First policy. This is not surprising, but I find it painful,” says the elected representative...     quoted from

Mo Brooks (Capitol Riots)| June 7, 2021

 2 - White House News in Chinese (weebly.com)

Morris Jackson "Mo" Brooks Jr.[1] (born April 29, 1954) is an American attorney and politician serving as the U.S. Representative for Alabama's 5th congressional district since 2011. A member of the Republican Party, his district is based in Huntsville and stretches across the northern third of the state. Brooks is a member of the Freedom Caucus.

In 2017, Brooks finished third in the Republican primary for the U.S. Senate seat vacated by Jeff Sessions upon Sessions's confirmation as U.S. Attorney General.[2][3] On March 22, 2021, he announced his candidacy for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by Richard Shelby in 2022.     from Wikipedia

...On January 6, Trump supporters stormed the Capitol and clashed with police which resulted in five deaths. 

Brooks was one of several GOP politicians who falsely claimed there was voter fraud in the 2020 election. 

"Brooks—acting in his personal capacity— conspired with the other Defendants to undermine the election results by alleging, without evidence, that the election had been rigged and by pressuring elected officials, courts, and ultimately Congress to reject the results," Swalwell's lawsuit said. 

The lawsuit said Brooks "directly incited the violence at the Capitol that followed" when he addressed the crowd before the riot...     quoted from

Supporters of President Donald Trump riot against the Electoral College vote count on Wednesday in protest of Trump's loss to President-elect Joe Biden, prompting a lockdown of the Capitol Building. 

Rep. Mo Brooks served with lawsuit over Jan. 6 Capitol siege

Jun. 7 - ...Swalwell filed the lawsuit in March, suing Brooks as well as former President Donald Trump, his son Donald Trump, Jr. and former Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani for urging a crowd at Trump's "Save America" rally near the White House Jan. 6 to march over to the Capital and storm the building. The attack resulted in five deaths, including that of a Capitol Police officer.

The Justice Department has arrested and charged more than 450 people following the siege.

Trump was also impeached a second time for inciting the mob, charges that he was acquitted of during his impeachment trial.

CNN Journo Roasted After Asking White House Press Sec Jen Psaki a 'Bootlicking' Question

Recently, communication between journalists and White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki has seen criticism, as many suggest that some correspondents are soft on the Biden administration. Earlier in the week, the press corps at a White House briefing was mocked for asking questions about the Biden family cat, instead of other issues.

Jun. 7 - CNN journalist Brian Stelter landed in hot water on Sunday after asking White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki what, in her opinion, the media get wrong when covering the work of the Biden administration.

"Busy summer ahead – infrastructure, election reform. What does the press get wrong when covering Biden's agenda? When you watch the news, when you read the news, what do you think we get wrong?", Stelter questioned during a one-on-one interview with Psaki.Psaki decided not to lash out at media, only sharing her views on the process of passing legislation and how "messy" it can be, noting that she does not know whether it is "the press getting it wrong".

"I'll leave you to the critique of that, Brian", Psaki stated.But it was not Psaki who lambasted the media, but rather netizens watching the interview who immediately deemed Stelter's question "bootlicking" and "pathetic"...     more

White House rejects GOP infrastructure counteroffer, saying it does not meet Biden's objectives

Jun. 6 - (CNN)President Joe Biden on Friday rejected a new counteroffer made by Republicans on infrastructure despite a $50 billion increase in spending, telling the GOP's key negotiator that the new offer did not meet his policy goals.

And as the talks between Senate Republicans led by West Virginia's Shelley Moore Capito and the White House hit a wall, a bipartisan group of senators could emerge as the next key negotiating partners with Biden on infrastructure. Whether they can reach a deal remains to be seen but the group has been working on a proposal that it could unveil as soon as next week, according to sources familiar with the effort.

The group includes Sens. Bill Cassidy, a Louisiana Republican; Susan Collins, a Maine Republican; Joe Manchin, a West Virgina Democrat; Rob Portman, an Ohio Republican; Mitt Romney, a Utah Republican; Jeanne Shaheen, a New Hampshire Democrat; Kyrsten Sinema, an Arizona Democrat; and Jon Tester, a Montana Democrat.Capito presented the new Republican counteroffer on infrastructure, "which consisted of an about $50 billion increase in spending across a number of infrastructure programs," according to the readout from White House press secretary Jen Psaki. Psaki said the President felt the offer "did not meet his objectives.""The President expressed his gratitude for her effort and goodwill, but also indicated that the current offer did not meet his objectives to grow the economy, tackle the climate crisis, and create new jobs," the readout stated in part...     more

Statement by President Joe Biden Recognizing the 40th Year of the HIV/AIDS Epidemic

June 05, 2021 • Statements and Releases

Forty years ago today, five young men in Los Angeles were confirmed as the first
known patients stricken with an illness that
the world would later come to know as AIDS. In the decades since, more than 700,000 Americans and 32.7 million people worldwide have been lost to AIDS-related illnesses – a heartbreaking human toll that has disproportionately devastated LGBTQ+ communities, communities of color, and underserved and marginalized people around the world.

On the 40th year of the HIV/AIDS epidemic, we remember the lives that were cut short by this terrible disease – including so many whose pain went unacknowledged for far too long. We also celebrate the resilience and dignity of the over 38 million people worldwide, including approximately 1.2 million Americans, living with HIV.

Thanks to the tireless dedication of activists, scientific researchers, and medical professionals, we have made tremendous progress to advance HIV research, prevention, treatment, and care. And after years of neglect, discrimination, fear-mongering, and limited action by government officials and the public, America has grown to become a leading force in the fight to end the HIV crisis. Through the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief – and as the largest donor to the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria – the U.S. has invested more than $85 billion since 2002 to support HIV programs around the world, including $250 million provided in my American Rescue Plan to address the impacts of COVID-19 on our progress in the fight against HIV. All told, these efforts are estimated to have saved more than 20 million lives globally. To help accelerate and strengthen our efforts to end the HIV epidemic in the United States, I have requested $670 million from Congress, an increase of $267 million over previous levels, to aggressively reduce new HIV cases by increasing access to treatment, expanding the use of preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP), and ensuring equitable access to services free from stigma and discrimination.

Despite the progress we’ve made, our work is not yet finished. In honor of all those we have lost and all those living with the virus – and the selfless caregivers, advocates, and loved ones who have helped carry the burden of this crisis – we must rededicate ourselves to reducing HIV infections and AIDS-related deaths. We must continue empowering researchers, scientists, and health care providers to ensure equitable access to prevention, care, and treatment in every community – particularly for communities of color and the LGBTQ+ community. And we must provide moral leadership to eradicate the stigma and discrimination still faced by those living with HIV, rededicating ourselves to continuing the vital work of ending this epidemic once and for all.     source from

Brian Christopher Deese (born February 17, 1978) is an American economic and political advisor who is the 13th Director of the National Economic Council, serving under President Joe Biden.[1] He also served as a senior advisor to President Barack Obama.[2] Earlier in the Obama administration, Deese served as the deputy director and acting director of the Office of Management and Budget.

US federal agencies were asked to look into how much they depend on imports for semiconductors, pharmaceuticals, automobile batteries and rare earth elements. 
White House to discuss supply chain review results, but there’s no ‘magic bullet’ for US reliance on China and other countries, Biden administration says

1. Biden administration says it will discuss the results of a review examining America’s reliance on foreign countries such as China for critical products
2. ‘Some very concrete solutions’ were identified in the semiconductor supply chain, says White House’s top economic adviser

Jun. 5 - The Biden administration said on Friday it has found some concrete solutions in addressing America’s reliance on foreign countries such as China for critical products, but there is not an instant remedy to solve broad supply chain issues.
White House top economic adviser Brian Deese told reporters at a briefing that the administration will discuss supply chain problems more next week when the results of the 100-day review are released. The findings were due on Friday.

US President Joe Biden in February ordered federal agencies to look into how much they depend on imports for semiconductors, pharmaceuticals, automobile batteries and rare earth elements that are crucial to tech and defence. The agencies were also asked to find ways to increase domestic production in these four areas.

Deese said to address the semiconductor supply chain problems, “we’ve been spending enormous amount of time with industry participants up and down the semiconductor supply chain” and “have identified some very concrete solutions”.

The review will also address short-term bottlenecks seen in recent months in housing, construction materials, transport and logistics, said Deese.

“As we anticipate those to be short-term, they’re still causing bottlenecks in different sectors of the economy,” said Deese. “You can expect the administration to be really laser focused on those places.”

“In short, I would say that a lot of these issues, there is no immediate magic bullet,” he said...     more

Jobs report shows gains, but is it good news for the economy?

June 5 - The pace of hiring in the U.S. picked up in May, but Friday's good-but-not-great jobs report is prompting some to ask why workers are still holding back, even as businesses across the country reopen to something close to pre-pandemic levels. Brian Deese, the Biden administration's director of the National Economic Council, joins Judy Woodruff to discuss.

Read the Full Transcript

Judy Woodruff:
We dig in now to today's U.S. jobs report and broader questions about the economy.
I spoke a short time ago with Brian Deese. He's the Biden administration's director of the National Economic Council.
Brian Deese, welcome back to the "NewsHour."

Let's talk about that jobs report today, 559,000 jobs created in the month of May. It's twice what we saw in April, but it was still less than what some, if not many, economists predicted. Does that temper the celebrating Americans should be doing?

Brian Deese:
I think this job report is really good news for the economy and good news for the American people.
We have seen now consistent job growth of about 500,000 jobs a month over the last four months, which is the strongest job growth we have seen in quite a long time. In the three months prior, we were averaging job growth at about 60,000 a month. So we have seen a significant pickup.

And we saw — the good news was that that job growth was broad-based across sectors and industries. And also, importantly, wages increased. They increased last month. They increased this month again. That's good news, good news for American workers.     more

All the Ways to Cut The U.S. Defense Budget that China and Russia Would Love
The idea that Congress can continue to increase pay and benefits while cutting everything else will create a hollow force unable to achieve its missions.

Jun. 5 - Almost weekly there is a new letter calling for impossible defense cuts that may make for good headlines but are actually poor policy borne on the backs of those in uniform. In order to be productive, this year’s defense budget debates demand a baseline reality check for increasingly vocal and aligned groups of policymakers and stakeholders who would see the military undergo steep cuts at a time when no other federal agency is on a fiscal diet. It is fair to ask the Department of Defense to find efficiencies in an over-$700 billion budget. However, suggesting the Pentagon could accommodate a 10 percent reduction to its budget is political theater—not realistic or responsible policymaking.

During the negotiations for the National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal year 2021, proposed amendments from Sen. Bernie Sanders and Rep. Mark Pocan to cut the defense budget by 10 percent were roundly defeated. Just last year, President Joe Biden’s Deputy Secretary of Defense Kath Hicks wrote that a 10 percent cut would render the U.S. a regional power, break U.S. alliances and partnerships, and increase nuclear proliferation. Yet the urge to beat a dead horse with a familiar stick is alive and well.

On March 16, 2021, the Defense Spending Reduction Caucus wrote a letter to President Joe Biden, advocating a “significantly reduced Pentagon topline.” Just over a week later on March 24, a coalition of organizations sent a separate letter to the leaders of the armed services and appropriations committees in Congress, citing the Defense Spending Reduction Caucus letter, and detailing a series of budget cut proposals for the Pentagon’s budget request for 2022.

Unsurprisingly, the coalition letter heavily relied on the Congressional Budget Office’s report, Options for Reducing the Deficit: 2021-2030. The most glaring challenge with leaning on this source, as discussed when the CBO originally published its option menu in December of last year, is that none of the program cuts were bound by (or moderately reflective of), with or to U.S. defense strategy objectives. Nor did the CBO discuss the consequences of such program tradeoffs, but it is obvious they would be steep. This is the opposite of strategy-based budgeting.  

For proof, look no further than the struggling Navy. The coalition suggested reducing the naval component of the nuclear triad to eight submarines capable of launching ballistic missiles (SSBNs) and canceling all Ford-class aircraft carriers. Setting aside the projected savings estimations, the underlying strategic logic is tenuous for both proposals.

The value of the American aircraft carrier fleet has been debated in theory for fifty years. But in practice, the existing carrier fleet is in tremendously high demand and consistently overworked. Just this month, the Pentagon diverted a carrier from the Pacific to the Middle East to support Afghan troop withdrawals--leaving a gap in coverage of a critical region to national interests...     more

The unidentified aerial phenomena observed by Navy aviators in recent years were probably not alien spacecraft
Pentagon UFO report 'will say there is no evidence that sightings were aliens'

... but some of the aerial phenomena remain explained, say officials

June 3 - US intelligence officials have found no evidence that a series of unidentified aerial phenomena observed by Navy aviators in recent years were alien spacecraft, but the sightings remain unexplained in highly anticipated Pentagon files, it was reported on Thursday.
The New York Times claims that senior White House officials have been briefed on the findings of the report, which is due to be released to Congress later this month.

According to officials the report will say that the vast majority of 120 incidents documented over the past two decades did not originate from any American military or other advanced US government technology.

This suggests that the incidents were not aerial phenomena that were part of a secret government programme, but they are for now unexplained...     more

The Pentagon's upcoming UFO report, explained
May 29, 2021
From Star Wars, to the X Files and most recently, Khloe Kardashian’s quest for alien life in Calabasas, UFOs and extraterrestrial life is a popular topic in entertainment in pop culture. It’s a very different story for politicians. For decades, politicians have steered clear of this topic out of fear of being labeled tinfoil hat wearing kooks. Politico’s senior national correspondent, Bryan Bender has covered national security for years, which to his surprise now includes a UFO beat. He was one of the first journalists to uncover the existence of the Pentagon’s AATIP office. In that time he has met UFO enthusiasts, researchers and even a few politicians to better report on UAPs. In this video follow along as Bryan acts as a guide to this strange and confusing world, and then go and read Bryan’s full report on how Washington is beginning to embrace this fringe world.

Pentagon's long-awaited UFO report to Congress due this month

June 3 - After a months-long investigation, the Pentagon is poised to produce a report addressing sightings of unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) — more commonly known as "unidentified flying objects," or UFOs. 

But don't expect a big reveal about secret alien technology and extraterrestrial spaceships. The aim of the report is to establish standards for recording sightings of mysterious objects and to determine if those objects pose a threat to national security. 

In 2020, the U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee called for an inquiry into UAPs in the Intelligence Authorization Act for the Fiscal Year 2021. According to the document, committee members were concerned that "there is no unified, comprehensive process within the Federal Government for collecting and analyzing intelligence on unidentified aerial phenomena, despite the potential threat"...     more

Congress Draws Battle Lines for Pentagon Budget Fight
Biden’s move to slash dozens of older planes and drones is being met with resistance on Capitol Hill.

Jun. - It’s a story as old as time. The U.S. Defense Department releases a budget cutting the U.S. military’s older systems and investing in futuristic weapons. And members of Congress, their districts at risk of losing jobs, manufacturing, and military bases, put the money back in. 

That’s exactly the tussle U.S. President Joe Biden’s Pentagon budget, with a slimmer $715 billion top line and several billion dollars more in divestments, is triggering among defense officials, the uniformed services, and Congress. And depending on which lawmaker you ask, the eye-popping budget might be too much or too little–but almost nobody is saying it’s just right...     more

An unidentified flying object (UFO) is any aerial phenomenon that cannot immediately be identified or explained. Most UFOs are identified or investigated as conventional objects or phenomena. The term is widely used for claimed observations of extraterrestrial spacecraft, and was coined as an anacronym by Project Blue Book project head Edward J. Ruppelt. Another widely used term for the phenomenon is "flying saucer."

Studies and investigations have been conducted by various governments worldwide, along with private individuals and organizations. In the United States, studies began in the late 1940s and have included Project Grudge, Project Sign and Project Blue Book. The latter was ended in 1969-70 after the Condon Committee officially concluded that the subject failed to merit further study. However, an unpublicized study named the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program was funded by the U.S. government from 2007-2012, and a successor program named the Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force is currently operational.

Unidentified lights and flying objects have been reported in the skies for much of human history. Skeptics including various scientists, and organizations such as the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry, state that the entire topic can be explained as conventional objects or phenomena, while Ufologists suggest various unproven theories. Public polling indicates a considerable portion of the U.S. population feels that their government is withholding information on the subject.

The topic of UFOs has been, and is currently, popular in worldwide culture in fictional movies, television and other media. UFO reports are also the subject of continuing debate and news reporting.   from Wikipedia
