For the end of the year, Clearing the FOG speaks with economist Richard Wolff about the current state of United States capitalism. Wolff explains that the United States is experiencing the greatest crisis in its history – a severe economic crisis at the same time as a pandemic, as well as the climate crisis. This is unprecedented. Unlike the great depression in the last century, when the wealth divide shrank, inequality is worsening. On top of that, US empire is in decline. Wolff discusses the current state of inflation and supply chain disruption and the forces behind them. Instead of facing […]

It is, allegedly, the last time we will see Richard Nelson’s Apple family during the pandemic. How are the liberal, white, arty, upstate-dwelling American upper-middle classes feeling as lockdown eases and the election approaches? The last of a trio of plays, Incidental Moments of the Day suggests the answer is, as confined and confused as the rest of us. Here again, discussing, needling, laughing, and consoling are siblings Barbara (Maryann Plunkett), Richard (Jay O. Saunders), and Jane (Sally Murphy), with Marian (Laila Robins) mostly absent out on a date, and Jane’s partner Tim (Stephen Kunken), an actor turned restaurant manager, away […]
Dear Patriot, Today I did the single most important interview of my lifetime, with Sheriff Richard Mack, founder of the Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association (CSPOA). He is also the victor in a 10th Amendment federal lawsuit in which the Supreme Court found in favor of the local sheriff against the federal agents of the Deep State seeking to exceed their authority within his county where he was the elected chief law enforcement officer. I will say this clearly: I judge Sheriff Richard Mack to be the single most important person in America after President Donald Trump if we […]

A US defense official claims an ongoing federal probe into the July 12 fire that extensively damaged the USS Bonhomme Richard has led to suspicions of arson and the questioning of one sailor. Pentagon officials were recently notified that a US Navy sailor was taken in for questioning as part of an ongoing investigation by the Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS) and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, according to a senior defense official who spoke with the Associated Press earlier this week. It’s worth noting that the sailor taken in for questioning was not detained by federal authorities. […]

…by Jonas E. Alexis In my upcoming book on Kevin MacDonald, I’ll have a chapter on Richard Spencer and the failure of the entire Alt-Right movement. Spencer, who was one of the leading figures behind the Charlottesville debacle in 2017 and who famously shouted “hail Trump” at a conference right after Trump got elected as president, continues to astonish me because he seems to be changing his views ever so quickly. He has recently declared: “I plan to vote for Biden and a straight democratic ticket. It’s not based on ‘accelerationism’ or anything like that; the liberals are clearly more competent […]

There’s a joke that Richard Kind likes to tell about himself. It goes like this. The executive in charge of actor contracts comes home one night and asks his wife, “You know that guy who you like so much? He was on Mad About You and then you liked him on Spin City, and then he was on Curb Your Enthusiasm?” The man’s wife says, “Oh, I love him.” “Yeah. I really fucked him over today,” the man responds. Few character actors work harder or more consistently than Kind. He had major regular roles on the sitcoms Mad About You and […]

YouTube banned several prominent far-right figures from its platform on Monday, including white nationalist leader Richard Spencer and right-wing internet personality Stefan Molyneux. The bans also include two accounts associated with white nationalist group American Renaissance, former Ku Klux Klan grand wizard David Duke, and NPI/Radix, an organization founded by Spencer. The crackdown comes after YouTube pushed other white nationalists off its platform earlier this year. The banned accounts repeatedly broke YouTube rules against alleging that certain groups are inherently worse than others, according to YouTube. “We have strict policies prohibiting hate speech on YouTube, and terminate any channel that repeatedly […]
Former Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell joined Tucker Carlson on Monday night in his first interview since leaving his post as DNI. Grenell was credited with doing more in 3 months to than many DNIs accomplish in their tenure in the position. Rich Grenell told Tucker the Washington DC environment is its own closed system and these people despise an outsider like President Donald Trump. This is obvious with the outrageous treatment this president received his first three years in office. TRENDING: Wow!

A Canadian man was fished out of the Detroit River on Friday—unconscious and tied to two bundles that contained more than 250 pounds of marijuana. It didn’t take officials long to figure out who he was: He had been arrested a month earlier, admitted he used a submarine to smuggle drugs between Canada and the U.S., and agreed to work for the feds. That’s according to a Department of Homeland Security affidavit filed with a complaint charging Glen Richard Mousseau with drug dealing, cash smuggling, and entering the U.S. illegally. The story begins on May 10 when a Michigan sheriff stopped […]

Fortunately for him, Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) doesn’t have to answer for making questionable stock sales timed around the coronavirus outbreak. Unfortunately for him, he may have to answer for someone else’s: Sen. Richard Burr. Burr, Tillis’ fellow North Carolina GOP senator, is under federal investigation for selling up to $1.7 million worth of stock holdings before COVID-19 crashed financial markets. After his phone was seized by federal agents last week, Burr stepped down from his chairmanship of the powerful Senate intelligence committee, and his political future is in peril. But it’s Tillis who is facing North Carolina voters this fall, […]
On Sunday night, after briefly touching on immunologist Rick Bright’s whistleblower testimony in front of Congress, accusing the Trump administration of ignoring his warnings about the novel coronavirus and their lack of preparedness, Last Week Tonight host John Oliver tackled “a major scandal brewing in Washington”: the curious case of Sen.

Burr was forced to step down as Intelligence Committee chair amid an FBI probe into his stock dealings—confiscating his cellphone in the process. “It’s true: The FBI seized Burr’s cellphone on suspicion that he may have used […]
