This group believes that this age group should be considered not adults by the prison system so they would not have a record upon release. However, at the same time, U.S. Rep. Ayanna Pressley th is pushing to allow 16 year olders to vote in federal elec- VFW Post 144 is celebrating its 98 year as part and all veterans on Veterans Day and Memorial tions. What gives here?

As part of the North End and Boston community, treat these same folks as adult enough to vote. Can’t Since then, the Post has continued to honor and VFW Post 144 provides support to “Local Veterans have it both ways.

Many of them weren’t altar boys as kids. All that term means is giving something for something else. Not a crime. When bribery falters what will they come up with? This whole thing is a sham and Trump will get re-elected because the Democrats continue to be The Gang That Couldn’t Shoot Straight without actor Robert Mitchum at the helm. What’s Up with the Democrats What is their end game? They all know the U.S. Sen- ate will not convict President Trump after the House impeaches him. The President will not be removed from office. So what is with all this drama from the likes of U.S. Rep. Adam Schiff ? It began the moment Trump was declared the winner of the 2016 election. Liberal and progressive Democrats are too far gone to step back now. What are they going to do when nothing happens to Trump? Why they are doing this seems clear to me. They want to hurt his credibility so a Democrat could beat him in 2020. Trouble is, most voters are seeing through this partisan sham of theirs. Prediction: President Trump wins a second term and the haters continue their hatred another four years because they can’t do anything else. Are We Living In George Orwell’s 1984 Today?
