In Real News: Charlottesville and Durham

In the past few days, we have seen violent events unfold that strike terror into the hearts of men and women. In videos online we can see people fleeing from the car as it speeds down the street. People fled in different directions to get away from the violence unfolding. You can see the video of Charlottesville by clicking HERE. In Durham, NC we saw young people gathering together toppling a Confederate statue.  I read an article from Allen West in which he states what the REAL problem is with the destruction taking place across the country. "This all began because someone decided, as other elected officials have across the country, to cave into partisan political pressures and seek to erase American history. History is not there for us to love or hate, but for us to learn from and seek not to repeat its mistakes.

Obama Nursing Home Abuse Appeal

As I was looking on Twitter I saw a post that was very concerning to me. The issue is the appeal of an Obama like policy that takes away the family and patients rights who live in nursing homes and are facing neglect and abuse. I started Googling immediately to find out if this was accurate because who would overturn such an important issue? This is troubling to me! So far, I haven't found anything that explains why the Trump administration would do something like this or allow something like this to happen. Some saddening facts about life in nursing homes 🏡 💁🏻Did you know that there are over 2 million cases of elderly abuse in nursing homes each year? 💁🏻Out of every 10 individuals living in a nursing home will experience some form of elderly abuse It is sad that the elderly are prey to people who seem to think that it is okay to abuse the helpless or treat them in ways that are less than what they deserve. Many families have no choice but to place their family
