Justin Jackson is a running back for the Los Angeles Chargers as well as the leading rusher in Northwestern University history. Additionally, Jackson also has strong political opinions on a wide variety of issues. For that reason, during his appearance on PRIMO NUTMEG #179, Jackson discussed everything from his rookie year in the NFL and getting roasted by Jimmy Fallon, and from police brutality to 2020 presidential candidates Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, Tulsi Gabbard a

In a matter of hours, Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) will officially enter the 2020 presidential race. At 3pm Hawaiian time (8pm Eastern / 5pm Pacific), Gabbard will hold her first campaign rally in Waikiki and officially kick-off her campaign to become the first female President of the United States. While Gabbard is just one in a mushrooming crowd of Democratic contenders, she is one of the most popular on the left wing of the party -- perhaps second only to Bernie Sanders. Over

If there is one claim at the heart of RussiaGate that Time Warner and Comcast have beaten us over the head with about a thousand times an hour since Hillary Clinton's historic loss to her pied piper, it's this: Donald Trump is Vladimir Putin's puppet. As the Steele dossier illustrates, Putin has had an embarrassing video of Trump paying prostitutes to urinate on each other since 2013. Yes, for at least the past five-plus years Trump has been a Kremlin pawn. The New York billi

For the past seven decades, Noam Chomsky has been one of America’s most famous and most radical intellectuals. A groundbreaking thinker in the field of linguistics, Chomsky expanded his notoriety via a principled opposition to US foreign policy and cutting analysis of the propagandistic nature of the corporate media. Last year, at the age of 89, Chomsky relocated from his longtime home at MIT in Boston to the University of Arizona in Tucson. It was there this past May that, a

It speaks to Facebook's hubris that they probably did not see this coming. Sure, the RussiaGate storyline required at least a soupçon of evil Russian Facebook trolls -- Putinist villains who allegedly purchased less than $100k worth of ads, most of which went up after the election and some of which were for puppies -- but Facebook was just as much a victim in all of that as the rest of us... right? For years Facebook has been the undisputed champion of social media. According

Dude, this was like the craziest f'in week ever. The Republicans like finally totally jumped the shark. And they endangered the country. Like, literally, we could be invaded at any second. Or, dude, maybe we have been invaded already! Like the election was just the first act of Red Dawn. The Russians are in the White House right now and they are planning to disband our media intelligence agencies. That's not right! That's not who we are! This is America and I don't want schem

Donald Trump has been President for almost one year. And by now we all know the real reason why this happened: Not because Hillary Clinton was a horrible candidate. Not because Trump represented a pushback to the neoliberal / neoconservative empire. It was because those goddamn back-stabbing communists in Russia hacked our election! (Please ignore California and Wisconsin's claims to the contrary!) Yes, hoping to instill uncertainty in American Democracy, the Russians somehow

Consumer advocate Ralph Nader, MIT professor Noam Chomsky, former Green Party presidential nominee Jill Stein, and former Democratic Congressman Dennis Kucinich are some of the left's most well-known Russia skeptics. It's no secret that Democratic Party leaders and the corporate media lackeys who masquerade as progressives often attack actual leftists for not parroting their pro-war, pro-Wall Street narratives. Examples from recent election cycles are numerous: Ralph Nader, D

During his recent appearance on PRIMO NUTMEG, consumer advocate and former presidential candidate Ralph Nader said that he thinks Democratic Party leadership was using Russia as a "scapegoat" for losing to Donald Trump and Republicans in November. The author of Unsafe at Any Speed, who ran for president with the Green Party in 1996 and 2000 and then as an independent in 2004 and 2008, noted the irony of Americans being offended by the possibility of foreign influence in our e

On the most recent edition of the PRIMO NUTMEG podcast, former Green Party presidential nominee Jill Stein responded to accusations that she is an operative of either George Soros or Vladimir Putin. Earlier this week, both NBC News (Robert Windrem) and then DailyKos (Mark Sumner) dug up and spun Jill's participating in a RT event in Moscow back in December 2015. The 16-month-old "news" (which DailyKos was focusing on five months ago and Rachel Maddow has oh-so-hilariously sho
