A horrible Governor. Crime is taking over NYC & State, everyone is leaving. He is after the NRA – They should move to Texas or elsewhere, and must get tough. Cuomo killed 11,000 people in nursing homes alone. Crooked & Incompetent!

2…………> COVID-19 Economic Hara-kiri: Japan Biggest Slump Ever?

.

Reduced industrial demand from around the world pushed Japan into recession, following two successive quarters of economic contraction, due to the biggest declines, and its worst performance since 1955, one of the main factors behind the slump being a severe decrease in domestic consumption, which accounts for more than half of country’s economy.

The downturn puts further pressure on a Japanese economy that was already struggling with the effects of a sales tax hike to 10% last year, along with typhoon Hagibis, as the world’s third largest economy saw gross domestic product fall 7.8% in April-June from the previous quarter, or 27.8% on an annualized basis.

3…………> Counterfeit Goods Smugglers Nabbed: ICE Homeland Security Investigations Good Works

.

NEWARK, Calif. – On July 15, 2020, Hang “Henry” Chen, an employee of CBK, CBK International, and Silicon Electronics, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge James Donato to four months incarceration with three-years supervised release, a $75,000 fine, and restitution up to $137,000.

Chen’s co-defendant, co-conspirator, and owner of CBK and associated companies, Lixiong “John” Chen 45, a citizen of China, fled justice by boarding a flight a day before his trial to Beijing, China, via Tijuana, Mexico. Lixiong Chen was previously indicted September 20, 2018, for violations of Title 18 USC 545, (Smuggling Goods into the United States) and 18 USC 2320(a) (Trafficking in Counterfeit Goods). An INTERPOL Wanted Person Diffusion Red Notice for Lixiong Chen has been issued and he remains at large.

“These peddlers of counterfeit items were stealing profits from legitimate companies and their hardworking employees, who are trying to earn a living to provide for their families,” said HSI San Francisco (NorCal) Special Agent in Charge Tatum King.

“The results of this operation were achieved through HSI’s interagency partnership with local, state and federal law enforcement, and the prosecutorial tenacity of the U.S. Attorney’s Northern District of California Office.”

4…………> Trump To Pardon Women’s Voting Pioneer Susan B. Anthony

.

Making the announcement on the centennial anniversary of the 19th amendment, which granted US women the right to vote, President Trump said he will issue a posthumous pardon for women’s voting rights pioneer Susan B. Anthony:

 “She was never pardoned. What took so long?”

Anthony was arrested in 1872 after illegally casting her vote, later convicted of illegal voting in her home state of New York by an all-male jury, and died 14 years before the 19th amendment was ratified on 18 August, 1920.

“Women dominate the United States – I think we can say that very strongly,” he said, noting that there are now a record number of women serving in Congress.

His announcement comes as Mr. Trump tries to win over suburban women voters, who polls show have been moving away from him since 2016:

“She was proud of her arrest to draw attention to the cause for women.”

5…………> 3rd Curse Besides Locust Invasion & COVID-19: The Pine Beetles

.
A locust invasion has been sweeping parts of East Africa and South Asia this year, leading to food shortages across the region, and now comes the bad news that more than seven hundred million cubic meters of trees were wiped out in British Columbia by mountain pine beetles, a tiny species native to North American forests, as decades-worth of lumber supplies are being eradicated across the world as a result of the pest’s invasion. With around 2.2 million hectares having already been affected by beetles, the outbreak is expected to continue for the next six years.

The tiny creature, just 5mm in length, was once part of the forest cycle, but as winters grew warmer due to climate change, the beetles were able to survive in greater numbers and chew through tree bark, with flowing resin attracting even more of them. As a result, with thousands of the insects eating on the trees and laying their eggs inside, hundreds of millions of pines across Canada’s timber-rich region were doomed to die. British Columbia is Canada’s largest supplier of logs to the United States, Bloomberg notes, with the beetle plague eventually signaling potential shortages for both the American and global housing market.

3…………>  COVID-19 Grim Path Of Death: US Highest Death Toll Ever

.

The US has the highest number of recorded corona-virus cases in the world in a single day with more than 1,800 fatalities, bringing the total number of deaths in the country to nearly 13,000, with more than 398,000 confirmed cases, the highest number in the world, as the global cases have exceeded 1.4 million.

At  a press conference President Trump tried to sooth public fears by saying the US might be getting to the top of the curve, as the city of Wuhan in China, where the infection first emerged, ended its 11-week lock-down,the new figures announced on Tuesday are up on the previous record of 1,344 which was recorded on 4 April.

The family of singer-songwriter John Prine confirmed his death from complications related to corona-virus, as many remembered his hits, including Bruce Springsteen and Margo Price who paid tributes to him.

Meanwhile, a large proportion of the deaths announced were from New York state, widely considered the epicenter of the outbreak, it recorded 731 deaths.

4…………> Corona-virus: ‘Global Trade Crash Worse Than 2008?’

.

The World Trade Organization (WTO) is predicting a severe decline in international commerce this year, forecasting a “1929 like” contraction of between 13% and 32% this year, due to the uncertainties about the health crisis.

The WTO’s director general Roberto Azevedo described the figures as ugly:

“There is no getting round that, the unavoidable declines in trade and output will have painful consequences for households and businesses, on top of the human suffering caused by the disease itself, he said. A decline of 13% in trade in goods is described in the report as a relatively optimistic scenario. It reflects a steep drop in trade followed by a recovery starting in the second half of 2020. That of course would need to be based on substantial progress over the next few months in getting on top of the health crisis. That is obviously not guaranteed, so the report includes a much more pessimistic case which reflects a steeper initial decline and a more prolonged and incomplete recovery”.

5………..> Artists In The COVID-19 Crisis: The Fruits Of Isolation, Creativity In Search Of God, Productive Solitude

.

Loneliness, depression, isolation has long history of inspiring artistic creativity, from the tumultuous life of Ludwig Van Beethoven, the creator of the “musical  romanticism”, to  nineteenth century literary giants like Victor Hugo and Alexander Pushkin, to our contemporaries like Ai Weiwei and Igor Levit, who may now unleash the magic of their art through the miracle of data streaming into the living rooms millions COVID-19 restricted people, space confined by fear, yet searching for God during this unimaginable catastrophe.

The Russian-born German star pianist gives a concert every evening during the corona crisis live on Twitter, with the recording available immediately after on Twitter. Performed in casual dress, these house concerts are his way of maintaining a connection to his audience while doubling as valuable daily practice. Levit’s house concerts, as Mariinsky Orchestra conductor Maestro Gergiev have a cult following online.

On a more somber note, the United States will be selling 30-year and 20-year treasuries to raise funds for its novel COVID-19 relief efforts, Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin in an interview on Wednesday:

“Here’s my idea for the 50-year[treasuries]. We’re going to be auctioning off 30 years and 20 years by one of each and it’s the 50-year that’ll give us twice as much money,We have tremendous demand for US treasuries. Everybody wants to buy US treasuries. It’s the safe haven. So it’s being very well received”, Secretary Mnuchin said about the Trump administration raising money all across the curve for the COVI-19 response.
