Hillary Clinton is consistently late. And voters are starting to notice.
This article is about how Hillary has been at least and hour late to her scheduled meetings. The campaigns she was supposed to be speaking at has been impatiently waiting for her, and her excuse was that she was at a fundraiser and many more such as being distracted by voters just before she comes in. There are many people at these campaigns here to support her, yet it looks as if she's taking advantage or not caring. The crowd, standing for a long time now, doesn't see the purpose in waiting if Clinton is just wasting their time; staff and other candidates already know her consistent tardiness.
Being a candidate in the 2016 election, Hillary Clinton isn't giving much of a great impression to the voters. Nobody would want someone who isn't on top of things, someone who waste other peoples times, and who would come up with excuses to get out of something. There's a motto that I've learned in middle school from one of my teachers which was, "if you're not early, you're late." Hillary Clinton should be more considerate of these peoples times because everyone is losing faith in her.

Raise smoking age to 21 and regulate e-cigs, pediatricians urge
This article is about how the age of buying and smoking cigarettes should be raised to 21 years old. Based on this article, many pediatricians believe that the age should be raised due to a shorter life span of those who do smoke. Given the research, it has been said that many teens are smoking when their brain is still developing, which can cause major consequences. These doctors believe that if the age of smoking is raised, that we would have a larger population and people, such as teens, would have a longer life span and be more knowledgeable since their brain cells are being fully developed.
In my opinion, I think that raising the age of buying cigarettes and smoking would be pointless. I agree that teens today are addicted to smoking while their brain is still developing, but they are still teens and will find ways to do what they want regardless of the rules/law. Many people, not just teens still smoke consistently. These people smoke these certain drugs because they favor the affect it has on them, so e-cigs wouldn't be doing these people any justice.

Heaven over hospital: Dying girl, age 5, makes a choice:
This article is about a little girl named Julianna Snow, who is diagnosed with Charcot Marie Tooth disease (CMT). At her early aged years, her mom realized that she wasn't able to do what other babies were doing at her age such as sitting up right or walking, so she had Julianna checked and, still in her early years, the doctors weren't able to determine whether or no she was diagnosed with anything. Julianna's mother, Michelle, remembered about her husband's abnormal feet and had them tested, when they then found out about CMT. Growing up, Julianna had been in and out of the hospital getting treated for her disease, and every visit, she'd still have a hard time breathing. This disease has been said that babies diagnosed with it don't live past 2 years old, but Julianna is still here hanging on a thread. Going through all those trials, Julianna is not only sick with this disease, but she's sick of all of these treatments, so her she has asked that when the flu or another type of sickness that triggers her CMT comes around, that she doesn't want to be treated at the hospital, but rather die in bed at home.
Being a relative of many people diagnosed with any type of sickness, I know the many treatments that they go through and the hassle that comes with it; what I don't know is the physical and mental pain that they feel. In my opinion I think that at age 5, there is still a lot to look forward to on life, but in Julianna's case, knowing the research on CMT, who knows how long she has? Being sick, I feel as if the patient should be the one to lift up the flag whenever they feel like they've had enough because they're the ones in pain. Being put to sleep, I feel as if it would be better since they won't be in physical pain. But at Julianna's age, I feel as if she still has a long way to go, so she should just try as best she could to stay strong, maybe it could be cured.

Debate: What Role Should Religious Leaders Play in Politics?
This article is about how the first pope ever, Pope Francis, gave a speech before a joint meeting for Congress. Pope Francis put his input on the major subjects the government have issues on. He uses the Golden Rule to introduce his topic and ideas. What Pop Francis mainly focuses on is immigration, climate change, and protecting human life. Being himself, Pope supports both the Democrats and the Republicans on some issues, but also puts his input on them.
In my opinion, I think that, based on the First Amendment on how there should be a separation with the church and government, we should take the words of Pope Francis into consideration due to his useful ideas. Because it's religion, we shouldn't have everything focused on the idea of the word of God. As a free country, not everyone would follow religious actions, especially if they're not religious, but we should take it into consideration. The words from Pope Francis has affected many already in just a short amount of time so maybe he could be right.
