This week, the British Royal Family is placed under renewed public scrutiny following a "bombshell" interview with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
The CDC has just released its guidelines for people who have received vaccinations for COVID-19. Although many will now be able to return to some pre-pandemic activities, when is a person who has received their shots still not considered "vaccinated"? Also in the news this week is a new report that claims the United States is doing less to contribute to freedom around the world. We look at this, and why some countries view American political philosophies a potential danger.
Then shifting our attention to the story one everyone's mind this week, we analyze the explosive interview Oprah Winfrey recently conducted with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, and why it has the British tabloids "apoplectic." More significantly, we ask why this story is the sensation that it has become, what its cultural significance is, and why the current online media environment facilitated one of the most revealing glimpses of the British Royal Family in recent memory. Will they ever fully recover in the aftermath of the Harry and Megan "tell-all"?

In the first military action of his Presidency, Joe Biden orders an airstrike on Syria which results in backlash from Congressional Democrats.
In the news this week, the passing of Vernon Jones marks another milestone, while Johnson & Johnson rolls out an all-new, one-shot COVID-19 vaccine. Political controversy is afoot as well, with several claims of sexual misconduct being alleged against New York Governor Andrew Cuomo.
However, marking a significant moment early in President Biden's administration, a recent air strike on Syria carried about by the new Commander in Chief has left many members of Congress questioning whether it was justified, and why congressional approval was not obtained beforehand. Although Biden followed the action with a letter to Congress, some top members of Senate haven't even been briefed on the matter yet, raising questions about the ongoing issue of military power in the United States. Meanwhile, former President Donald Trump spoke at CPAC over the weekend, confirming that he would not be forming a new party, and thus securing his position as the leader of the GOP. We weigh in on these, and other issues this week on Middle Theory.

This week, in addition to news we look at recent developments regarding the assassination of Malcolm X, a deathbed confession, and its alleged relationship to the intelligence community's COINTELPRO operations.
As millions of Americans have awaited the arrival of COVID-19 stimulus checks, some people are learning that they won't be able to receive theirs until they file their 2020 taxes. Meanwhile, the discussion of stimulus packages came up during a recent New York Times discussion with Senator Mitt Romney, who dropped the bombshell statement that if he runs in 2024, Donald Trump would be likely to win the GOP nomination. We look at the populist sentiments that Romney says exist on both sides of the political aisle, and what events in recent years led to them.
Then after the break, we shift our attention over to claims by the surviving family members of Malcolm X, who say that a "deathbed confession" may link the NYPD and FBI to the activist's assassination. If true, it stokes the fires beneath long-held questions about COINTELPRO, and the involvement of intelligence agencies in the deaths of other activists like Fred Hampton over the years. Is there additional information about Malcolm X's death that may exist, but which the government has yet to disclose?

This week, with the passing of conservative radio personality Rush Limbaugh, we look at the significance of his career on American politics and the rise and fall of Donald Trump.
In recent days, millions of people in the United States are without power as a surprise winter storm rocked the southern United States, straining the power grid and challenging many who are unused to such temperatures. Meanwhile, it was announced on Wednesday that talk radio icon Rush Limbaugh had passed away, marking what many recognize as a significant turning point in American political discourse... and perhaps the veritable "end of an era."
Although Limbaugh has come up several times in discussion and analysis in recent weeks, we look at the significance of his career on American politics, as well as the rise and fall of Donald Trump, whose recent acquittal added a final sour note to the lasting unrest of the last days of his presidency.

As a second attempt at the impeachment of Donald Trump leads off, we look at opening arguments and new information about January's siege on the Capitol.
A recent perusal of the top ten most-searched words at the website of popular online dictionary Merriam Webster revealed a lot about what's on people's minds. At the top of the list at number one was "fascism," followed by "racism," "happy," "pandemic," "love," "beautiful," "coronavirus," "culture," i.e.," and lastly, "socialism." We can't say we're surprised by this list, but as we consider what it reveals about people and what's on their minds, we look at other changes in American politics that indicate how people are feeling right now about the current political climate.
Then turning our attention to the renewed attempt at the impeachment of former President Donald Trump, as opening remarks were made recently on Capitol Hill, some were confused after Trump's defense team spent most of the time of their opening remarks decrying the siege on the U.S. Capitol Building in January. This might have confused some, but we look at the reasons for their response, which likely had to do with a new 14-minute "master cut" of the violence as it ensued back in January following a rally where then-president Trump appeared to have encouraged the crowd in attendance to take action... which had disastrous consequences.
