The Bitter Truth with Abe Abdelhadi Abe Abdelhadi

The latest decision on Roe v. Wade must prove what a fascist arm of the oligarchy the SCOTUS is. Little has been decided in favor of the people as opposed to the rulers, owners of this country. From segregation to the latest gutting of the Voting Rights Act, this “legislative branch” is nothing more than a boondoggle. Moreover, if you think the Democrats are just beside themselves over this turn of events, you’re an idiot. Sorry, but we got here, mollycoddling the less than serious.

After a few necessary detours, we get into why and how a $25/hr minimum wage is due. We discuss how we got here and real ideas in how to actually afford a $25/hr wage for all working Americans. Every 4-7 years, we bailout capitalism but we can’t see our way clear to take care of taxpayers who do the work to afford the elite the profits? After over a decade of bailouts, that we’re still having this discussion is pathetic.

Matthew Hoh (https://www.matthewhohforsenate.org/) joins us to talk about his platform and the big reasons he’s running for U.S. Senate for North Carolina.
 
He’s a veteran of three tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, resigning in protest in 2010 as a Marine officer. We get into real fixes on the wars, the economy, healthcare, his experience in combat, the whole gamut. All that’s needed is the will to do these things. Who does that will serve now? Mr. Hoh is a recipient of the Ridenhour Award and a senior fellow at the Center for International Policy.

Friend of the show and activist, Cindy Sheehan (http://cindysheehanssoapbox.blogspot.com/) joins us to discuss the current war in Ukraine, relations with Russia and China and how the U.S. is stalled pushing the pieces around the global board. Could the dollar crash? Is nuclear war an option? What is the current mania for war and censorship among the so called American liberal based on? Cindy Sheehan has been an anti-war activist since she lost her son in 2004 in the Iraq War. Her new article, Protecting Democracy, My A$$; or How Liberals Love to Swallow (Democrat Agitprop) can be found on her site.

Texas Green Party candidate for governor, Delilah Barrios (https://delilahfortexas.com/) joins us to talk about her campaign and the big picture in U.S. policy. She is a healthcare worker who sees the failings of the current system and is working to make a change. Legalizing pot, Medicare for all in the state of Texas, gay rights (yes, it’s still a thing), and a living wage and UBI are just a few of the many things we talked about. She’s running against Beto O’Rourke and Greg Abbot, so we’ll have to see what the people will show up for.
