"Boeing Stands Firm on 787 Dreamliner Safety Amid Whistleblower Allegations"

Boeing defended the safety of its 787 Dreamliner plane at its South Carolina factory after a whistle-blower, Sam Salehpour, raised concerns about the jet's structural integrity. The company's top engineers stated that extensive tests and inspections showed no evidence of premature body failure, despite Salehpour's claims that sections of the fuselage were not properly fastened together. Salehpour is scheduled to testify before Congress, and the Federal Aviation Administration is investigating his allegations, adding to Boeing's ongoing scrutiny over manufacturing practices following previous incidents with the 737 Max.

Controversy Surrounds $19,000 Lectern for Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders

Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders is facing criticism and a whistle-blower's accusation after it was revealed that her office purchased a $19,000 lectern and allegedly altered records to cover up the spending. The purchase has sparked controversy among Republicans, with State Senator Jimmy Hickey Jr. requesting an investigation. The Republican Party of Arkansas reimbursed the state for the lectern three months after the purchase, shortly after a public records request was filed. An anonymous whistle-blower claimed that the office improperly altered and withheld public records related to the purchase. The governor's office denies any wrongdoing and welcomes an audit.
