Nelson Mandela wanted a South Africa where all could live together in peace and prosperity. A group of White supremacists in the country is determined to stand against that ideal; instead wanting a return to the days of apartheid. The Afrikaner Resistance Movement (ARM) is operating training camps -- replete with racist brainwashing -- in preparation for a race war. The goal is a separate state for White South Africans. 2,000 people have been through the "Kommando" training program in the last two years.

The Chicago City Council is proposing a $5.5 million reparations package for victims of torture by former Chicago Police Commander Jon Burge. Burge has been accused by more than 100 people of using torture. Victims have described being beaten with phone books, being shocked with cattle prods, and being suffocated with bags until they gave false confessions. Jon Burge's reign of brutality lasted for nearly two decades, ending in 1991. He was fired from the police department in 1993.

The French Rafale omnirole jet fighter, which had sought a buyer since its introduction in 2004, has gotten two in as many months. Last month Egypt signed on to be the first export customer for the 4.5 generation fighter. Recently India announced that it would be the second to purchase the $100 million plane.
Years ago India announced that the Rafale was the winner of a competition to select its next main fighter. The proposed $20 billion deal for 126 planes has been on hold since. The recent announcement of India's purchase of 36 Rafales did not address that previously stalled deal.
The Rafale is a very capable fighter. It's equipped with advanced avionics, voice command, AESA radar, and an advanced helmet mounted display among other features. It is capable of flying at mach 1.8, with a service ceiling of 55,000 ft.

It's not bad enough that it seems like a policeman is shooting an unarmed African American every week, but now they've taken to beating the disabled! This video shows a pure coward's move!!! The common thread in all of these stories of police abuse is that the police are acting like common bullies, targeting people who they deem to be defenseless. The difference between the "boys in blue" and bullies however is that officers carry guns. The "LAW" is completely out of control, and It's time for the police to be policed!

Something is wrong with this picture...
When talking about income inequality the subject often -- and rightly -- goes to the benefits of being in the top 1% on the economic ladder. Income inequality is in the news now being used as a political football, but who's throwing that football? Politicians, currently trying to score points with their voters, need to first look in the mirror when dealing this issue.
The person who serves as President of the United States is set economically. I don't have a problem with this, seeing the straines and stresses of being the leader of the most powerful nation on earth. It's often mentioned that presidents come into office with their natural color hair, but leave grey. However, the perks are still worth a look. Besides a hefty salary, the president is taken care of upon leaving office: A nice pension, transition and office expenses, travel expenses, secret service protection and more. Being a U.S. President is like hitting the lottery!
My real problem is with the Legislative Branch of the U.S. Government. Everyday people struggle to make it day-to-day, whether working or retired. Senators and representatives don't even work day-to-day -- thus no struggle. Members of Congress only "work" when Congress is in session. Members of the Legislative Branch spend more time on getting re-elected than they do on addressing the concerns of their constituents. On top of this light "work" schedule, they're paid handsomely; and, if they serve the required time, also get a sizeable pension. Oh, did I mention that they get to give themselves pay raises!
There are many problems with our economy. We live in a "Twilight Zone" of two Americas: One where caviar is the norm, and the other where hunger is. When looking at income inequality, one of the first glances should be cast at the hundreds of congrssional members who live like royalty at public expense. CONGRESSIONAL PAY RAISES SHOULD BE VOTED ON BY THE PEOPLE!
