Idli are steamed cakes originating in southern India, which are now popular throughout the country. It is a breakfast food, made by steaming a batter of fermented rice and black lentil beans in special moulds, and usually eaten with Sambar – a lentil-based vegetable stew. Former UN diplomat and Indian lawmaker Shashi Tharoor pounced on British professor Edward Anderson for his ‘unsavoury’ comment on idlis, a popular South Indian breakfast fare. Anderson’s comment that ‘Idli’ is boring stirred up a social media rumble and Tharoor scolded the Brit, saying that he must knows idlis aren’t boring, noting the reactions on Twitter […]
Britain’s Cabinet Office Minister Michael Gove has stated parts of the UK’s controversial internal market bill would remain despite EU requests to remove them. Gove has assured colleagues in London and his European counterparts in Brussels that he is still “committed” to reaching a deal on the UK’s future relationship with the EU. Looking at these moves in greater detail, Sputnik spoke to the Political Commentator Mandy Boylett, in this interview. Sputnik: What are your thoughts on this move? Is Michael Gove right to ignore the EU’s request to remove parts of the internal market bill? Mandy Boylett: I think it’s a […]
Since last March there hasn’t been much good news to celebrate, so I can understand why many people have been happily trumpeting the success of brewers during the coronavirus pandemic. The only problem with that story is that it’s just not true. Believe me, I’d love for the drinks industry to be booming, except, sadly, it’s not. Think about it: how can beer sales be up when almost every place that sells beer by the pint is closed or only running at 25 percent capacity? No packed bars. No packed stadiums. No packed concert arenas. No packed race tracks. Given all […]
Guardian: The US justice department is seeking to take over Donald Trump’s defense in a defamation lawsuit from a writer who accused him of rape, and federal lawyers asked a court on Tuesday to allow a move that could put the American people on the hook for any money she might be awarded. Breaking: The Justice Dept just moved to take over Trump’s defense in the E. Jean Carroll rape lawsuit, even though the alleged incident occurred in the 1990’s and had nothing to do with the presidency.https://t.co/uodKzPQ6Vw — Cliff Levy (@cliffordlevy) September 8, 2020 This is outrageous!

Here we go. It’s law and order week. And with the eyes of the nation fixed on Kenosha, Joe Biden is going to… southwestern Pennsylvania, to give a speech on why you aren’t safe in Donald Trump’s America. And Trump is going to Kenosha on Tuesday. So we confront one of the enduring questions of American presidential politics, which goes back to Richard Nixon’s time: Can the Republicans scare enough white people into thinking that their beautiful suburb is going to be taken over by Black criminals if the Democrat wins? Pretty much every liberal I know is terrified that the […]

Half of single adults in the US aren’t looking for casual dates, let alone a committed relationship, reflecting a trend toward more reclusive lifestyles in Japan and other developed nations, a new Pew Research Center poll showed. Fifty percent of Americans who aren’t in a relationship aren’t seeking a committed partner or trying to find dates, Pew reported Thursday, based on polling that was done in October 2019. As for those open to romance, only 14 percent said they’re looking specifically for a relationship. Ten percent want casual dates only, while 26 percent are open to either dating or relationships. While […]
By: Andre Vltchek Today, the Western press went absolutely mental again, radically schizophrenic. Hong Kong leader, Carrie Lam declared that the September 6 elections in SAR would be postponed by one year. Right away, she offered a rational explanation: “We have 3 million voters going out in one day across Hong Kong, such flow of people would cause a high risk of infection.” Fair enough. But while COVID-19 can justify just about any action taken by the West and also by countries that are closely associated with the West, it is constantly used against Mainland China and SAR. Irrational double […]
The Russians Are(n’t) Coming! By Maj. Danny Sjursen (USA Ret.), AntiWar.com.

Spoiler alert: D.C. is apparently an open-air psych ward. In America’s Emerald City these days, if there’s even a hint of a war-wind-down, imperial-deescalation, or military budget-cuts, Washington’s (non-dribbling) Wizards have a ready response: Russia! Indeed, these military’s magicians have a far-simpler and […]
Top US immunologist Dr Anthony Fauci is now saying citizens are not “complete” in protecting themselves from the Covid-19 pandemic unless they go beyond wearing a mask and add in eye protection like goggles, too. In an interview with Dr Jennifer Ashton, ABC News’ chief medical correspondent, Fauci was asked if we might reach a point where masks are not only mandated, but eye protection as well. “It might,” he replied, going on to explain that the only way to have “perfect protection” from the virus is by protecting the eyes, as well as the mouth and nose. “If you have […]
After one of their members shot himself and one of his comrades, the black militia marching through Louisville on Saturday vowed to burn down the city in four weeks if cops involved in death of Breonna Taylor are not arrested. The militia leader, known as “Grandmaster Jay,” was not immediately arrested for the terroristic threat. The group marched into downtown with a minimal police presence and no arrests that I’m aware of. The NFAC’s “Grandmaster Jay” gave a speech promising to “burn down” the city in four weeks if Breonna Taylor’s killers arent arrested.https://t.co/KxsvcIxjsb https://t.co/SijLMafnKF — Ford Fischer (@FordFischer) July 25, […]

The World Can Show How Pharma Monopolies Aren’t The Only Way To Fight COVID-19 By Prabir Purkayastha, MR Online.

The U.S. has bought up almost all of the stock of remdesivir from Gilead, making it nearly impossible for this COVID-19 drug to be available anywhere else in the world. After making America sick again, Trump is trying to compensate […]
Facebook failed to remove three posts by the US President Donald Trump that “allowed the propagation of hate/violent speech and facilitated voter suppression,” causing concern among the civil rights community, a new report says. A fresh audit of Facebook’s policies and practices, commissioned by the world’s largest social media platform itself in 2018, has on 8 July yielded results. The Civil Rights Audit, led by Laura W. Murphy, a civil rights and civil liberties leader, among others, have analysed Facebook’s impact on civil rights and argued that the company needs to do more to suppress hate. Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg commented on […]
Recently an editor at the website Jezebel titled her essay on quarantine reading “You Don’t Have to Read Gravity’s Rainbow During Self-Isolation.” She instead recommended “trash” or books one had read as a child. Others in lit biz were quick to recommend Camus’ The Plague, and a recent piece in The New York Times suggested Moby-Dick, mostly for its finale of nature—the White Whale—exacting revenge on Ahab and the rest of the humans (except for Ishmael) on the Pequod. Depending on how long the pandemic lasts, I, too, would recommend Moby-Dick—as a precursor of and as a warm-up for Thomas Pynchon’s […]
Under siege for his management of a deadly pandemic, a cratered U.S. economy, and mass protests across the country, top advisers to President Donald Trump are finding solace in one question: How the hell is he not even more unpopular? Though poll after poll shows the president in a historically bad position for an incumbent in an election year, inside the White House and on the campaign a feeling of relief has begun setting in that it’s not worse. As they see it, any one of the events of the past few months would have tanked a prior president’s standing. They […]
Senior Editor Current figures show closed case fatalities down to 21 percent, based on wider testing, now over 2% (Trump lying), which gives us a higher base of infected that are much less ill. Originally, beginning of March, it was 36%. These are the numbers kept from you. Without a new, effective treatment, and there are none, hydroxyshit is a useless poison at what was believed to be needed levels, rates will end up between 16 and 12 percent. Let’s take the high number. We have 95,000 dead. We have 1,550,294 infected. Of those, 448,384 are ‘resolved’ as cured or dead. […]
According to recent press reports, two Asian giant hornets—a species not known to occur in North America—were found in northwest Washington state in late 2019, and a hornet colony was found and eliminated in British Columbia. Now scientists are trying to determine whether more of these large predatory insects are present in the region. Entomologist Akito Kawahara explains for The Conversation why headlines referring to “murder hornets” are misleading. How common are these hornets in Asia, and how much alarm do they cause? The Asian giant hornet (Vespa mandarinia) is fairly common in many parts of Asia, where it is called the […]
