United We Stand...Divided We Fall (Source: LeDante Walker)
USPA NEWS - Different races, different parties, different genders, different religions, different news, different opinions, different cultures. With so many differences can what considered to be the strongest country in the world survive with such a strong divide.
Today, The United States of America has more questions than answers. The president held a press conferfence about infrastructure and he had a lot on his mind. But it was very far from infrastructure. Last Friday and Saturday in Charlottesville, Virginia a Unite the Right rally organized by the alt-right, attended by neo-Nazis and Ku Klux Klan members. Counter protesters and members of the community also were there in opposition and Saturday things turn violent when a car plowed into a crowd of counterprotesters, killing one.Two police officers also died in a helicopter crash covering the protest. That's not the story. It began when the president held a press confernce to condemn what happened and give the country a sense of assurance, which he did..But...that didn't seem to be enough.
During what seemed to be a normal speech against the violence that occurred, the president went off script. The response to the speech was not good at all. Many called for a more clear and direct opposition to the organizers of the protest. 48 hours later he did. 24 hours after that...he did again. And boy did he ever. Both sides are to blame. That's right! The neo-Nazis/Ku Klux Klan and the counter protesters are to blame for what happened over the weekend. “What about the alt-left that came charging at the alt-right “” do they have any semblance of guilt?“ Trump said. “They came charging, clubs in hand, swinging clubs.“ Lawmakers from both sides have denounced the remarks. Today, many are in shock and asking...what does this all mean?
