If you haven’t considered an all inclusive holiday, yet alone tried one, then this type of holiday is most definitely worth serious consideration when looking at your annual Summer holiday.
To start with, the major benefits of an all inclusive holiday is the price. Prices on these holidays are hugely competitive when compared against the traditional travel packages holidays, whether they are self-catering or full board. In many instances the cost for a week’s all inclusive holiday can be little m

In all of Chicago media, mostly all major political reporting concluding with The ABC7 Chicago final major TV debate of The Chicago Mayoral election, there have been a consistent pattern of avoiding of questioning and sharing of facts that have avoided the kind of symbolism that could stimulate a historic voter turnout during this month of February, Black History Month. The only exception of this I have found are WGN-TV and The Chicago Defender that have specifically made focus on the fact of Bl

Now, you have the same thing happening again, of course during Black History Month. This time the offender is the illustrious Washington Post (WP) newspaper. They are supposed to be

THE CHICAGO DEFENDER
We endorse Carol Moseley Braun for Mayor Feb. 22

For the first time in more than five decades, there won't be a Daley on the ballot for mayor of Chicago.
That alone would make the Feb. 22 election historic, but it also happens to fall on the same day that Harold Washington was elected to his first term in 1983. There is also the promise that this election will produce a city council that actually serves its constituents, instead of doing the bidding of Mayor Richard M

Currently, progressive listservs, facebooks, blogs, and twitters are all a twitter (sorry I could not help my self J) with the buzz coming out of first Tunisia and now Egypt. It seems that the winds of change are being whipped by a revolutionary rejection of capitalism. We are informed by these ideologues that these activities are not only predictable, but the normal outpouring of a mass public that has gotten tired of the excesses of capital. Such ideological posturing a
What do Pres. Herbert Hoover, Pres. Regan, Pres. Bush II and
Pres. Barack Obama have in common?
The reason I am asking the above question, is if you was born during the Hoover’s crash of 29’ or you lived through Reganomics, or Bush II Crash of 2008. Then you can have a sense of the PAIN that is about to be dropped on Black and Brown as well as poor folks in America in the coming years and months.
Now just like the Crash of 29’ or Reaganomics or the 2008’ Crash of Bush II some people is go

With 70% home foreclosures in the African American Community, why is 3rd Ward Ald. Pat Dowell The only One speaking out about the 2,500 Home Foreclosure on with 17 other Aldermen RUNNING!
WOW! As I drive around the 18 African American Alderman Wards I saw hundreds of homes boarded–up properties, but I never really paid attention to it until I listen to 3rd Ward Alderman Pat Dowell raise the issue a few days ago. Now I don’t know if she is raising this issue because she feels the foot steps of Yo

Egypt: Surely after difficulty comes ease!
We congratulate our brothers and sisters, but most especially the youth of Egypt who advanced the Egyptian Revolution to end forever neo-colonialism or the modern slave system. There is no doubt the role American imperialism played in the thirty year oppression of the Egyptian Nation. Down to President Obama, American imperialism would have been more than satisfied to prolong Egyptian oppression. The hypocrisy of American imper
