    A boat in the shape of a giant violin, built as an homage to people who have died from COVID-19, had a test voyage in Venice on Friday as a cellist played on the deck. 'Violin of Noah' was created during the pandemic by artist Livio De Marchi in collaboration with the Venice Development Consortium. The artist, known as the Carpenter of Venice, has produced many floating sculptures including a wooden Ferrari. A cellist in an evening gown perched on the violin's bridge during the test. The boat, reported to be 12 meters or 40 feet in length and four...

    asiatimes.com ^ | August 7, 2021 | David P. Goldman
    NEW YORK – Never before in US political history has the whole of the American business community—more than thirty major business organizations—spoke with one voice as it did in an August 5 appeal to the Biden administration to eliminate tariffs on imports from China. No entities in American politics are timider than business lobbies, most of whose work involves quiet lobbying for administrative relief and legislative tweaks. Such a high-profile intervention suggests that the business organizations believe that a deal is already underway. A deal is likely because inflation could poison the Democratic Party’s chances at 2022 mid-term elections and...

    ♦ With the Gotham Awards moving to gender-neutral acting categories, the conversation shifts to when more awards shows will follow suit. IndieWire’s TV Awards Editor Libby Hill and Deputy Editor Ben Travers stopped for a Double Take to assess what might happen next — and what’s stopping it from happening sooner. BEN TRAVERS: On Thursday, the Gotham Film and Media Institute announced its annual awards show, the Gotham Awards, would be eliminating the Best Actor and Best Actress categories in favor of gender-neutral groupings that highlight Lead and Supporting performers. In addition, it tweaked the title of its Breakthrough Actor...
  • Runaway Texas Democrats file lawsuit against Gov. Greg Abbott for 'damaging their reputations' and causing them 'anxiety, discomfort and distress' after he threatened to arrest them upon their return to the state

    Almost two dozen Texas Democrats who fled to Washington, D.C. last month in order to block two 'restrictive' voting reform bills proposed by Republicans have now filed a lawsuit against Gov. Greg Abbott. Abbott - who is Republican - threatened to arrest the lawmakers when they eventually return to the Lone Star state after they packed onto private jets and flew to the nation's capitol on July 12. On Friday, 22 of the Democrats filed a complaint in federal court in Austin claiming that Republican attempts to bring them home for a special legislative session is a violation of their...

    TOKYO (AP) - The Springsteen family has gone platinum many times over. Time to make space for a little silver, too. Jessica Springsteen and the U.S. equestrian jumping team came up just short of Olympic gold, falling to Sweden in a jump off Saturday night that still left the Americans with a record 10th medal in the event. "I had really high hopes coming in today," Springsteen said. "It really gave me a lot of confidence and the ability to have big dreams of riding with them so, I´m just so excited." It's the first for the 29-year-old Springsteen, the...

    This year, there has been a widespread backlash to the philosophy of critical race theory, which has infiltrated popular culture and public school classrooms alike in recent years. Yet the response to this backlash from its proponents is often fallacious at best, asserting that those who oppose critical race theory are simply white people who refuse to confront their own inherent racism and — this is the outrageous part — simply don’t want the harsh reality of slavery and racism to be taught in American classrooms. ``````````````````````````````````````````````` However, local groups are now calling for school board president, Chris McCune, to...

    Insisting it’s “the right thing” to do to combat a new rise in COVID-19, N.J. Gov. Phil Murphy on Friday announced his state will mandate students in preschool through 12th grade, as well as staff members and visitors, to wear masks inside all schools when the new academic year begins with in-person classes. Murphy announced the executive order at an elementary school in East Brunswick, where more than a hundred protestors — including many parents with their children — loudly opposed the move. They repeatedly shouted, “My child, my choice!” And they carried signs reading, “Unmask our kids!” “This is...

The median time between the second dose of the vaccine and the RT-PCR test was 146 days, interquartile range [121-167] days. 608 (1.8%) patients had positive test results. There was a significantly higher rate of positive results among patients who received their second vaccine dose at least 146 days before the RT-PCR test compared to patients who have received their vaccine less than 146 days before: odds ratio for...

    Medscape has launched a new portal where doctors can share their own personal stories about vaccine adverse events. And already there are well over 1,000 entries, many of which contain horror stories about how chemical injections are destroying people’s lives. One doctor expressed concerns about how low-risk, healthy adults are being pressured by the government and the media to get “vaccinated” for the Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19). Children and even babies are also now being pressured as well.Another linked to the Health Resources & Services Administration website, which contains information for people who have suffered vaccine injuries to apply for compensation...

    Multiple news outlets have covered the case of Juan Tang, a former University of California Davis researcher who had been charged with visa fraud for lying about her military service in China. All charges have been dropped against Tang, and she has been allowed to return to mainland China. Tang’s defense counsel have defended her as someone who misunderstood the visa forms, she was filling out and was unfairly prosecuted for innocent mistakes. This is untrue. Tang was a spy, and she was here to steal sensitive American technology and secrets and provide them to Beijing. In fact, Tang is...

    We have irrefutable forensics from numerous independent examinations; as well as an admission from a former federal agent who admits to the spying; and sworn testimony from a former FBI unit chief and lawyer, and a former NSA forensic specialist. Even with forensics and admissions in hand, we've learned the Dept. of Justice can stall, delay, and run up legal bills to keep the case from getting in front of a jury. To get to a jury, one must be able to name specific federal agents responsible. If top officials are named, it turns out they are generally granted immunity...

    The Department of Homeland Security said Friday they have observed "an increasing but modest level of activity online" by people who are calling for violence in response to baseless claims of 2020 election fraud and related to the conspiracy theory that former President Donald Trump will be reinstated. "Some conspiracy theories associated with reinstating former President Trump have included calls for violence if desired outcomes are not realized," according to a DHS Office of Intelligence and Analysis bulletin obtained by ABC News. There is no evidence that shows there was widespread voter fraud in the 2020 election.

    Camp of the Saints is no longer fiction. The Biden administration has made it reality along the U.S.-Mexico border. Right before our eyes, the government of the United States is deciding that, in fact, the United States doesn’t really exist at all. In Jean Raspail’s 1973 novel, a vast horde of starving Indians commandeers a flotilla of decrepit ships in the harbor of Calcutta. The flotilla sets sail for Europe, and slowly creeps around the Cape of Good Hope, past Sao Tome, through the Strait of Gibraltar, and finally descends upon southern France. As the fleet approaches, French society is...
