BREAKING NEWS BRIEF
One person is dead and three more are hurt after this funeral home shooting
An Alabama funeral service ended in a shooting that left one man dead and three more people injured, authorities say. The incident occurred just before James Gipson’s casket was set down in the graveyard. Gipson had recently lost his life to cancer, and was surrounded by loved ones when the violence erupted.
They were paying tribute to Gipson when a car blasting music entered the cemetery.
“They were asked to turn the music down,” said one family member. “Basically, it instigated from there. A lot of cussing and profanity that went on.”
Shots were then fired, killing Jerry Lee Gipson and injuring others.
Authorities are looking for a 40-year-old man who was apparently involved in the shooting.

Paul Mampilly is a Wall Street legend.
(Barron’s crowned his hedge fund as the “world’s best” and Kiplinger ranked it in the top 1%.)
But a few years ago, he left Wall Street.
“I just grew tired of helping the rich get richer,” Paul explains. “So I started sharing my No. 1 investment picks with Main Street Americans.”
And his No. 1 stock picks across his various research services have been phenomenal.
In 2017, he recommended Plug Power. It gained 1142% in 3.5 years.
In June 2018, he recommended Tandem Diabetes. It’s currently up 520% and still climbing.
In December 2019, he recommended Enphase Energy. It gained 638% in 1 year.
And in March of last year, he recommended Carvana. It’s currently up 877%and still climbing.
But Paul believes his No. 1 stock pick for 2021 could go even higher.

Robinhood fined $70 million for causing “widespread and significant harm” to customers
The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority announced Wednesday that online trading platform Robinhood will pay nearly $70 million in fines for systemwide failures and deceptive communication and trading practices.
During the epidemic, Robinhood, which is set to go public later this year, had numerous days of downtime, leaving consumers unable to trade stocks, options, or digital currency. During some of the busiest trading days in the history of the bear market, the platform was unavailable.
Robinhood was also chastised for the suicide of a 20-year-old trader who believed he had lost a huge sum of money on the platform. The FINRA news statement highlighted the suicide.
The company is expected to still go public later this year.

Vice President Harris’ staff members are struggling with low morale
New reports suggest that things aren’t so rosy with Vice President Kamala Harris and her staff.
Harris is already under fire for her handling of the US border crisis, and now more scrutiny is coming from her own team. According to the reports, staffers are dealing with low morale and a tense working environment.
Many of the problems are said to stem from communication issues and distrust among top aides and senior officials on Harris’ team. Unnamed staffers have been especially critical of Harris’ chief of staff Tina Flournoy, saying she has contributed to a working environment “where ideas are ignored or met with harsh dismissals and decisions are dragged out.”
What else is going on with Harris’ team? And are any of the problems stemming from Harris?

China warns Taiwan against independence and sends a cold threat to the West
Thursday marked the Chinese Communist Party’s 100th year anniversary. Chinese President and leader of the party Xi Jinping commemorated the occasion with a carefully constructed celebration. The politics of the event focused on the recent achievements of the party and its historic struggles, rather than the bloody three decades that plagued China in the twentieth century.
Xi also chose this moment to send a very clear message to the West, especially the U.S. His statement is a blatant threat.
