Luqman Nation

Jacquie and Dr. Tauheed discuss the latest scandal facing Well Fargo and their racist practices, and is our only option to banking crypto-betting?

Jacquie brings Carlos Ron - Venezuela's Vice-Minister of Foreign Affairs for North America and the President of the Simón Bolívar Institute - on to discuss the people's victory over and the continued fight against fascism in Venezuela, the historical struggle against imperialism, and how we can be in solidarity with Venezuela!

Yes, we're going to talk about Ukraine, but the real issue is the US/EU/NATO Axis of Domination and what they've always been doing in non-European countries that no one has ever held a candlelight vigil for.

A little bit fun, a lot very serious in the second installment of my travelogue for my trip to Colombia, where I talk about shopping, chickens, and a very important trip to the beach near the pivotal port city of Buenaventura.

Jacquie Luqman discusses her trip to Colombia.

Bipartisanship in politics usually means a compromise that leaves the will and the needs of the people out. So just who wins with the bipartisan Infrastructure Bill that Democrats are celebrating, and who loses?  Dr. Linwood Tauheed, Associate Professor of Economics at the University of Missouri-Kansas City, helps us figure it all out.

Part 2 in my discussion about the conversations Abdus wanted to have about his life that he was working on the courage to share fully but ran out of time to get to. So I will do it for him.Creative Commons License: MUSIC "Dial-Up" by Mani DraperCo-Occurring ( or co-concurrent) Disorders: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/co...2019 The National Survey on Drug Use and Health:https://www.samhsa.gov/data/sites/def...National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, Medicine report on Death Rates Rising Among Middle-Aged and Younger Americans; Report Recommends Urgent National Response:https://www.nationalacademies.org/new...Reagan Moves Against CETA Jobs: https://www.upi.com/Archives/1981/03/...CETA CUTBACKS LEAVING THOUSANDS UNEMPLOYED: https://www.nytimes.com/1981/04/11/us...Deinstitutionalization: A Psychiatric Titanic: https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontl...TIMELINE: Deinstitutionalization And Its Consequences: https://www.motherjones.com/politics/...Contras Amply Funded Despite Congress' Ban: Reportedly Got $88 Million From 1984 to '86, Half Coming From Private, Foreign Sources: https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-x...The Contras, Cocaine, and Covert Operations: https://nsarchive2.gwu.edu/NSAEBB/NSA...Is Crack More Addictive Than Coke?

Jacquie Luqman talks a little about love, loss, and the beginning of some very serious and important conversations that Baba Luqman wanted us to have. There will probably be crying and there will definitely be cussing.
