In its long-running off-Broadway show, the Blue Man Group is known for offering up innovative performance art through creative uses of paint, food and drums. But when it comes to dealing with its workers, the popular theater troupe sticks to the same-old union busting strategies routinely used by corporate employers like Amazon and Starbucks. In the face of these anti-labor tactics, teachers at the Blue School — an independent private school in Manhattan founded by the […]

The fallout for police whistleblowers is at least as bad as for those elsewhere in government. Like many Americans, especially those on the political left, I have a distrust of the police. I’ve had several negative experiences that have left me jaded, including one in which I am the plaintiff in a federal lawsuit. My brain defaults to thinking the worst of the men and women in blue. That’s often unfair, and it’s something that I’m trying […]
Above photo: Communist Party of the Russian Federation, 2018. His rise took place in a context engineered by the West. It has now been over a month since Vladimir Putin ordered Russian military forces to invade Ukraine. In this short amount of time, a tidal wave of sentimental gush has emerged from Western countries that has glossed over even the most modest criticism of the Ukrainian government while vilifying Putin and his country to an extent that is increasingly trespassing into the realm of the absurd. This narrative, disseminated by Washington, its allies, and its minions in the corporate-owned media, has […]
NOTE: Listen to this Clearing the FOG interview with Bruce Gagnon about the US’ support for Nazis in Ukraine and provocation of Russia. – Margaret Flowers With a bold and completely self-sabotaging diplomatic blunder, one which fails on every level including the least rigorous sanity test, this past Wednesday the U.S. was one of two nations to vote against a UN resolution designed to discourage the glorification and promotion of Nazi ideology. The other nation was Ukraine, which currently is overrun and effectively ruled by Jew-hating, Russia-hating, LGBT-hating neo-Nazis, who openly flaunt their allegiance to Stepan Bandera, a collaborator with the Third Reich during WWII. The reason the […]
Bitcoin was lower, tracking what appears to be a new range between roughly $11,200 and $11,700. It’s a step up from levels that prevailed over most of September, between $10,100 and $11,000. “As the bulls push for a return to a $12,000 handle, resistance will be found just below, at $11,900,” Matt Blom, head of sales and trading for the cryptocurrency exchange owner Diginex, wrote in a daily newsletter.

An international team of scientists, together with researchers at the National Research Technological University MISiS (NUST MISiS), has synthesized a material for reconstructive surgery from blue mussel shells (Mytilus edulis). According to the researchers, the material is safe and has high antibacterial properties. The study results were published in the Ceramics International journal. Implant infections remain one of the main problems facing reconstructive surgery today. This problem can be solved by creating biomaterials with antibacterial activity, Evgeny Kolesnikov, the co-author of the study, a researcher at the Department of Functional Nanosystems and High-Temperature Materials at Russia’s National University of Science and […]
Italian MotoGP legend Valentino Rossi is famous for his special helmet designs for his races, and his latest design has certainly attracted attention, with the lid carrying a familiar-looking blue pill paint job. The San Marino Grand Prix at the Misano circuit in Rimini is always a special occasion for the Italian, with the circuit the closest to his home town of Tavullia. And for each race in Rimini he brings out a fresh helmet design, especially for that weekend, which often carries a story about what’s happening in his career at that point. His helmet designs often feature a sun and […]
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio wants to cut $1 billion from the budget of the city’s police department amid Black Lives Matter protests, while New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo wants 4,000 cops to police social distancing in restaurants. The founder of New York’s Blue Lives Matter campaign has claimed state Governor Andrew Cuomo and city Mayor Bil de Blasio “pit officers against the community” with Covid-19 regulations. Joseph Imperatrice also accused the two politicians of being selective about when to enforce the law on Saturday’s edition of Fox and Friends, commenting on Cuomo’s reported intention to use 4,000 […]

This marks the debut of an occasional series in which our Senior Drinks Columnist, Dr. David Wondrich (yes, he really is a Doctor; OK, no, not that kind) takes a concise look at the history and, to coin a word, mixologistics of a particular historic cocktail—or if not historic at least old and pleasant.

Leaked audio from a Goodyear factory meeting reveals even more about the company’s “zero tolerance policy” towards supporting President Donald Trump or police officers, while expressly stating that Black Lives Matter slogans are allowed. On Tuesday, a photo from Goodyear’s diversity training seminar in Kansas leaked, revealing that they have a “zero tolerance” policy for “Make America Great Again,” “All Lives Matter,” and “Blue Lives Matter” slogans being worn by their employees.

A slide has leaked from a Goodyear diversity training which brands “Blue Lives Matter,” “All Lives Matter” and “MAGA” attire “unacceptable,” while deeming Black Lives Matter and LGBT slogans to be “acceptable.” The leaked slide is of their “zero tolerance” policy towards support for police or conservative values.

John Thompson, a Black man who was friends with Philando Castile, won the Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party (DFL) nomination for the 67a District (St. Paul) seat for the Minnesota State House on Tuesday. On Saturday Thompson terrorized a group of white children in a residential neighborhood in the Minneapolis suburb of Hugo, using a sound system to scream obscenities at several teenage white girls standing in a nearby driveway watching a Black Lives Matter protest at the home of Minneapolis police union president Bob Kroll. Thompson screamed, “Come get your blue eyes medicine! Blue eyes ain’t shit!” Video of Thompson was posted to […]

Israel’s new unity government was sworn in on 17 May 2020, following a deal made by political rivals Benjamin Netanyahu, leader of the Likud party, and Benny Gantz, leader of the Blue and White Party. Under a power sharing agreement, Netanyahu will remain as Prime Minister for 18 months, before Gantz takes over in October 2021. Israel’s coalition chairman, MK Miki Zohar, said that the country’s government is unable to function and is about to fall apart, due to the main coalition parties’ disagreements on a number of issues. In an interview with local radio station Kan, Zohar said that “The […]

Antifa militants violently attacked a Back the Blue rally in Denver on Sunday as police, clearly ordered to stand down, allowed it to happen.

Leading conservative activist and entrepreneur Michelle Malkin was attacked by Antifa and Black Lives Matter thugs Sunday at a “Back the Blue” rally in support of police at the Civic Center amphitheater in Denver. Ironically, the Denver police on the scene did not intervene at first, apparently under orders by police Chief Paul Pazen who marched with BLM protesters last month. Malkin says she was not hurt in the attack in which Antifa and BLM thugs rushed and took over the stage, though video shows her being roughed up. The attack was recorded on Malkin’s livestream Periscope video. Screen image of […]
Houston Rockets star James Harden has denied he was making a ‘political statement’ after he received criticism online for being pictured wearing a face covering which appeared to endorse the pro-police ‘Blue Live Matter’ movement. Harden sported a mask featuring an American flag along with a thin blue line, iconography which has come to be known as support for the ‘Blue Lives Matter’ campaign – a group some cite as being contrary to the wave of ‘Black Lives Matter’ protests currently prevalent in the United States. The images were released by both the Rockets and the NBA Twitter accounts, and were immediately greeted […]

A long-simmering uneasiness between densely populated Democratic states and more sprawling Republican states has turned into open contempt, with national Republicans refusing more aid for cash-strapped states, and local and state Democrats seeing anything less than 100 percent funding as a betrayal.
